Villa Luna Creciente

Doug D. Nov 2018 December 3, 2018

Villa Luna Creciente was perfect for our family of 5, although much more house than we needed. That was one of the big decisions we had to make upon arrival, which of the 6 rooms to choose since we only needed 3! No bad choices with only one of the rooms not having a beautiful water view.  The staff could not have been nicer.  Dinora was the best chef we have had in all of our visits – perfect blend of delicious Mexican food and reasonable portion sizes (we always have a tendency to overeat). Her guacamole and salsa is addictive so be sure to ask her to keep both in the refrigerator for you to snack on. We had her grill lobsters and shrimp for us one night – perfect. Fanny was her helper and kept our glasses full. Hilda the maid was very attentive to whatever you needed, and she was so sweet in wanting to wash any clothes you had. The walk to the very charming Mismaloya beach is only 10 minutes further south and a very easy one. No need to take a bus, cab, etc. At Mismaloya, they will set up lounge chairs for your group right on the beach and then bring you food and drinks until you say “no mas.” The food is fresh and delicious and amazingly reasonable (much more so than in town on the beach). All this to say, we had a wonderful time. While we have enjoyed trying different houses over the years, it was apparent everyone felt that being directly on the water listening to the waves and looking at Los Arcos could not be beat. You will not be disappointed at Villa Luna Creciente.

Everything from the home, to the views, service staff and concierge were awesome. We knew we had made the right choice once we started receiving emails way in advance from Carla, the concierge for the property. She could not have been any better!

Carla was waiting outside the property as we pulled up for the first time and gave us a warm welcome. We were received with fresh guacamole, drinks and a gift (bottle of Mezcal). She then proceeded to give us a tour of the magnificent property.

The views are absolutely breathtaking and alone worth the price of the stay. The staff of 4 during our stay was also very friendly and professional. Dinora the head cook and Silvia her assistant made consistently delicious food. Hilda and David kept the house clean the entire stay.

We surprised my wife and mother with Mariachi’s the first night. Carla was able to book 10 Mariachis on short notice, which sounded great and cheaper than quotes I had received myself.

The only negative, if you can even call it that is that there are a lot of bugs (beetles in particular) that show up at night so you can’t really hang outside by the pool or leave the windows open once the sun completely sets. That said, the beetle issues only would start around 9:30 at night. A small price to pay to be in paradise! Secondly, the home does get pretty hot. The AC has to be manually turned during the evenings and it takes about 1 hour to really cool off the area. A bit different than what some may be used to in the States…but really not a big deal at all.

If you are thinking about booking this property, DO IT! I can assure you won’t regret it. We have vacationed in quite a few destinations and homes and this experience has to be at the top of our list. Thank you for sharing your amazing home and thanks to the great staff! We may just need to come back next summer.

We took an 8 person family trip and everyone loved it. The food was great. The house was kept very clean. The pool and views are fantastic. The house is about 30-45 minutes from the airport but we bought a margaritas at the airport bar and the transportation they set up for us was great. We arrived to fresh guacamole and salsa and margaritas. Everyone loved their bedroom and the views are phenomenal. The house is right in front of Los Arcos (2 huge rock formations in the water) for people familiar with the area. The house is not brand new by any means but it’s well maintained and in my opinion definitely worth the money. We went to spend time together and decompress and we did both. Twice we took taxis to the beach to rent jet skis and we had one dinner at La Cliff but the rest of our time was spent at the house.  It was a great trip, largely because of the friendly and talented staff and I highly recommend it.

This was my first experience with renting a villa, not to mention in a different country.  The villa was fantastic.  It was just as described.  Everyone was friendly and the place was very clean.  Thanks to Dinora-our cook, Hilda-our maid, Miguel- our houseman, and Carla-villa manager for making our stay so enjoyable.  We lacked nothing!

Too pretty to be true! Thank you to all of you for the beautiful home, the wonderful food and all of your kindnesses. We stayed for the week with six of our children (ages 23-32)and loved every minute. The pool, the outdoor dining, the bedrooms with their incredible views and breezes–I’m still not sure it was real. The hardest part of the trip was picking which delicious menu options we wanted for the next day! Love and thanks to all–

A recommendation for future guests–don’t miss visiting Chico’s Paradise only 10 minutes up the road. A glorious day playing in a beautiful river! And the zoo–even closer! Amazing personal encounters with exotic animals. Don’t forget the hiking and boating to Las Animas and stopping by Los Arcos on the way home to see all the beautiful fish. The parasailing from Las Animas beach and listening to the strolling mariachis while eating at the sand-side restaurant should not be missed as well. Enjoy it all!!

Unimaginably amazing family vacation… Had 12 with us and were more than comfortable. The town of Mismaloya (find Javier) was a perfect walk and awesome for getting to anywhere by boat. Wouldn’t change a thing.

>Villa Luna Creciente is incredibly beautiful, and way bigger than you would expect from the pictures. Even the garage was nice! Every room was special and we loved the Moroccan decor. The pool was especially amazing – I could spend all day enjoying the view and leisurely floating around.  At night you could hear the waves crashing into the rocks at the base of the house and it was soothing to sleep to. Dinora, our cook, made amazing meals for us that were light and delicious and accommodated our special requests.  The staff as a whole were like family to us.  Normally I’m not comfortable having a staff but ours at the villa made us feel welcomed and at home in the villa.  The villa also has a night security guard which made us feel safe and comfortable. The area is perfect – not too far of a drive from town but still secluded enough to be quiet and private.  I loved everything and I have been going through withdrawal since leaving!

I just wanted to personally let you know how wonderful of a job these two phenomenal ladies did!! They were very personable & went above & beyond to see to it that our families were well taken care of. They are a tremendous asset to your company & have been an absolute treasure & joy to interact with this week!! The entire housing staff were excellent but I wanted to specifically highlight these two!! They made our stay so much better than what we had expected.

What an AWESOME place, just beautiful right on the ocean. Everyday was “Another day in Paradise!” The scenery and sunsets went unbelievable. We were a group of 8, the home was amazing and the cooks and cleaning people were awesome! Took a tour on a boat and saw a group of dolphins swimming and all kinds of beautiful fish and went to a beautiful water fall. So much to see, shopping was great too. I recommend this place highly. Can’t wait to return……

We have been going to Mexico for the last ten years twice a year. We always stayed at a all-inclusive hotel with 4-5 star rate. This was our first time renting a villa. It was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had. Didn’t know what I was missing. So nice just to come out to the patio with a cup of coffee and enjoy the ocean view. Usually someone in our party is running to the pool to save us sits, while someone else is trying to get us a table for breakfast. We had the cook service, no other word to describe it fantastic. It was fresh and excellent, we planned ahead what we wanted for our lunch and dinner. The staff were professional and kind. I guess I can’t say enough, we enjoyed ourselves so much, we are returning in April.

This was our 3rd trip back to Puerto Vallarta within a year! During our past two visits we stayed at a Conde Nast luxury resort, Garza Blanca and another beautiful villa but Villa Luna Creciente might just be our new favorite! The home is impeccable, definitely designed with luxury in mind. The staff is so very kind and accommodating. They arranged all of our transportation and stocked food and drinks before we had a chance to run out. Every meal was beyond delicious, they were so very generous with the seafood and flavor was just right. The entire company enjoyed the trip and we all keep thinking about the next time, cannot wait to be back!

Villa Luna Creciente is a beautiful property that really must be seen to be appreciated in its fullest (although the pictures do a decent job). From the moment you walk in and see the waves crashing against the ocean, you know this will be a special trip. Gorgeous views from the bedrooms, pool, and living area! The villa itself is beautiful designed with many hand-picked pieces of furniture that compliment the style very well. The staff are delightful and did a fantastic job with some of the best in-villa food I have had! You may never want to leave, but if you do it is only a 10 minute walk down to Mismaloya beach or a short cab ride into Old Town. Would stay again in a second 🙂
