In a nutshell:
Great location near to the malecon, optional all-inclusive plan, adults only. The Honeymoon and Master Suites are well worth considering for honeymooners looking for more activities than a remote and quiet location. Good spa facilities.
This small luxury hotel located in downtown Puerto Vallarta is guaranteed to surprise and delight. We loved the impressive range of guest rooms at Villa Premiere, all beautifully furnished and including some very special suites. If you’ve been searching for something out of the ordinary for a honeymoon or other romantic occasion but don’t want to sacrifice a central location, we recommend that you check out the Honeymoon Suites with their huge terraces and outdoor Jacuzzis or the sumptuous Master Suites. The latter must some of the finest accommodations in town, boasting indoor and outdoor whirlpools and breathtaking views up and down the bay of Banderas.
Another appealing aspect is the optional all-inclusive plan available here. The Villa Premiere management place a strong emphasis on the quality of food, and all meals are a la carte with an excellent selection of gourmet dishes on offer. The restaurants are intimate and romantic, so this is a completely different experience to most of the large all-inclusive properties in Puerto Vallarta. Of course the proximity to the town’s fine restaurants is tempting, so a European plan is available for those who prefer the flexibility to eat in different locations.
A visit to the hotel’s excellent spa is highly recommended during your stay. The tasteful decor and wide range of treatments make this a very enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Wireless internet is available free of charge in all rooms and throughout the hotel. Other features include a butler service (including packing and unpacking on request), a five minute “welcome” massage on arrival, flat screen TVs in all rooms, glass of champagne, in-room aromatherapy, pillow menu and more!
Service is personal and efficient and the staff is exceptionally helpful. For romantics, all-inclusive fans and everyone who appreciates the charms of Puerto Vallarta, this could be the perfect choice.
The Villa Premiere offers a range of accommodations, from the comfortable Deluxe rooms to the magnificent Master Suites, many with either indoor or outdoor Jacuzzis and all with ocean view balconies. Coffee makers, wet bars, hairdryers, irons and boards, room safes and bathrobes come as standard, and a resort-wide water control system ensures fresh drinking water in all the rooms (bottled water is also supplied and replenished daily).
Deluxe rooms are furnished with either one king or two double beds, whilst the other room categories have one king bed only. The Premiere rooms feature a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom (with shuttered window to the bedroom area) and the Suites have a large living and dining room and include a romantic hydrotherapy tub in the bedroom, overlooking the ocean. The Spa Suites also feature in-room aromatherapy and complimentary spa amenities. The eight Honeymoon Suites feature large terraces with shady outdoor Jacuzzis.
For the ultimate indulgence, the fabulous Master Suites have both indoor and outdoor hydrotherapy tubs – including a large Jacuzzi on a wrap around terrace that offers glorious 180 degree views of the bay.

These fabulous terraces are approximately 230 square foot and feature a large Jacuzzi partially shaded by a rattan roof and enjoying far reaching ocean views. There’s also a hammock chair and a table where you can enjoy breakfast al fresco.
These lavish Master Suites must be some of the finest accommodations in downtown Puerto Vallarta, and they certainly enjoy the best views! On entering the suite, a hallway leads either through a dressing area to the bedroom or through the kitchenette to the vast living/dining space. A large terrace with outdoor Jacuzzi can be accessed directly from the bedroom on the sitting area, and a second Jacuzzi can be found in the luxury bathroom.
These rooms have been furnished with careful attention to style and detail, and feature some delightful works of art and local handicrafts. The elegant bedroom is tastefully furnished in shades of cream and ivory, with welcoming touches such as bathrobes and even a selection of novels.
Sliding doors open onto the terrace, and a window through to the living area can be closed with shutters or left open to enhance the spaciousness of this sumptuous suite. Spectacular views and glorious sunsets will linger in your memories after a stay in one of the Villa Premiere’s Master Suites. The wrap-around terrace offers vistas of almost the entire bay, and you can even experience these views from your private, outdoor Jacuzzi, with plenty of room for two. The terrace is furnished with a hammock-chair and dining table and chairs too.
La Ceiba Restaurant is close to the pool and beach and is open sided and shaded from the sun. This breezy, ocean front restaurant is a delightful setting for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, health-conscious guests start with a freshly squeezed juice or smoothie (including mixes of strawberry, carrot, papaya, beet or pineapple), a tropical fruit platter or granola with yogurt and honey. Then there are homemade muffins, plain or whole-wheat pancakes, brioche with smoked salmon, crepes, eggs or even the Mexican breakfast dishes of chicken with chilaquiles or shredded beef Norteno style.
After a lazy morning by the pool or on the beach, La Ceiba provides a welcome retreat from the sun and a tempting variety of snacks, salads and pastas, or you can indulge in a lingering three course meal if you prefer.
