Staff & good we’re amazing. House is run down, not clean, missing key components (no lights in some bathrooms), old linens, & worst of all was the mattresses. Mattresses for larger beds were hard as a rock and smaller beds you were laying on coils.

Great service, lots of terrific outdoor space, older
Up front, you should know it’s an older property and is not shiny and luxurious. However, the staff of Gilberto and crew were great. Home-cooked meals and drinks served (you pay for the f&b, of course). It’s in a quiet neighborhood, and the pool and beachfront are great. Again, pool is aged, but holds clean water. Our interactions with owner, Marcello, were also timely, fair, and accurate.

Excellent Family Stay
We booked the property with 2 other families and had an exceptional time. We had children ranging from 2 yrs to older teens and everyone had a great time enjoying the pool and being steps from the beach. The food was to die for. Every meal was beyond delicious. Gilberto could not have made our stay any more pleasant. He tailored everything to our specific needs including a couple of runs to cater to our toddler for diapers/milk, etc. The whole team of staff including Ariceli, Brenda and Enrique made our stay wonderful. The property is true to what you see online. The sleeping quarters are setup so each family was able to have their own, somewhat secluded section of the property. 24/7 security made us feel safe. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We had 9 family members on a vacation. A wonderful stay thanks to the amazing and very attentive staff. Gilberto, Araceli, Brenda & Enrique went above our expectations. Taking care of every need, and preparing delicious meals The house is a little dated, and needs a little work, but is a nice home with beautiful yard and on a gorgeous beach. The owner was very prompt to respond and communication was good. But the staff is what made this trip most memorable. The Rocca family

Unreal property with even better staff
We had a group of three families (6 adults and 7 kids, all ages 6 and younger). Every moment we stayed at Casa Salamandra was a dream. The house is beautiful and maximizes its ocean front views at every opportunity. The pool and beach provide every type of water refuge you could desire. However, the onsite staff of Gilberto, Brenda and Chelli made this a truly unforgettable stay. Their attentiveness, incredible cooking and their willingness to go above and beyond in making sure we were taking care of is the best. They were wonderful with the kids and such a pleasure to be around. We are counting down the days until we can return!

Villa Salamandra March 2024
My family and a group of our friends stayed at Villa Salamandra from March 26 to the 29th (there were 8 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 14-10). It was an amazing experience. The house is very cool with a main living area that is open air/outdoor based with bedrooms that surround the main living area (you have to walk outdoors to get to them). This was a great set up as it gave us a common space to gather while still providing privacy for the individual families in our group. The house has a great pool that we all really enjoyed. The location is amazing. Great spot with the best beach in the Puerto Vallarta area steps from your house. The staff was also top notch. Gilberto and company were awesome to work with. Check in process was super easy and they made us feel at home the entire time. The food they prepared was great with plenty of options provided for some of the the pickier members of our group. The communication with Marcelo prior to the trip was very good with him always quick to respond to any questions that we had. I really can't say enough great things about our stay. We all loved it and hope to be back as soon as possible. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place to gather with friends and family in an amazing setting. Thanks for hosting us.

Luxury Girls Trip
Our stay was Epic! Communications with host before and during trip was stellar. Upon arrival to this beautiful oceanfront villa we were greeted by the best butler, Gilberto! The view was breathtaking and whales were breaching in the ocean right in front of our stay. Epic views from all 5 bedrooms. Some of the hardware…bathroom door knobs, glass door slider locks were broken…could be maintained better but the place is so beautiful and the staff was so awesome we didn’t care some of the villa was a little worn down. The food prepped by the cook was so delicious and Gilberto’s beverage service was top notch! Bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and the showers had great water pressure. The beach in front of the villa is now my favorite beach! I miss the pool and the view so much. Thank you Marcello, Gilberto, Chelle, Brenda, and Enrique for an epic experience.

Food they made for us was fantastic.Location of house was the very best !Very clean and felt safe, The house is really something else , we all had our own space and was quiet . The property is older and starting to show a little wear. Only improvement I could suggest would be more comfy mattresses. Keeping that in mind would we go back …. Yes in a minute.

We had a wonderful family reunion at the beautiful Villa Salamandra .The Location, view and beach of the Villa is amazing. We all enjoyed the views from our rooms and the pool was used daily . Gilberto was a fantastic host who shopped for us , served our food and made us delicious drinks . He looked after us from 7:00 am till 11:00 pm. He helped us booking excursion’s, taxies , shopping for good “tequila “. He is a great host. He loves his job and it is very evident Araceli and Brenda made delicious Mexican food and cleaned our rooms daily. We all want to thankGilberto for all his help in making our week holiday a beautiful experience . We would love to come back again . Ford Family Nanaimo Reunion2023

Have to begin with the world class staff-Gilberto-Araceli-Brenda & Enrique.Their kindness and hospitality and the incredible food and service made our stay remarkable and memorable.Spectacular property - breathtaking setting and views- great beach access. However, time has not been kind to the structure and could absolutely use some updating and TLC. If you can overlook the obvious deferred maintenance of the property you will enjoy your stay.

Outstanding service and location
The property is right on the best piece of beach in the area. It is spacious and confortable. Proximity to the ocean creates some maintenance challenges: though just painted, metal window frames, chandeliers, etc. are corroded. This did not negatively affect our stay in any way. Service provided by Gilberto, his wife Araceli, and Cielo, was way beyond expectations. Not only did Araceli cooked delicious meals to us, but Gilberto was always happy to take any requests my group came up with. The place is very safe, accessed through a gate and with security patrolling the house and the beach 24/7. Spectacular sunsets and some rich marine wildlife can be watched while having a meal or drink by the pool. Highly recommended for a big group unforgettable experience.

The house is located right on the beach with an awesome pool. It’s in a gated community and we felt really safe. The house is mostly outdoor living and has 5 bedrooms that you can lock at night. The house itself is pretty dated and some fixtures didn’t work, but it was really clean. We didn’t really care since the location made up for it and the house manager Gilberto and his wife Sally were amazing!!!!!! They were super sweet, helpful calling taxis, went grocery shopping for us, cooked our meals and even washed our dishes. The food she prepared was the best Mexican food I’ve ever had and those two made our trip so relaxing and enjoyable!! We over course tipped them :). Each room had air conditioning as well which is a must.

Magic in Mexico
The location of this property is spectacular. The “house” itself has not been maintained so some faucets are non-functional, no hot water to shower ( not an issue as it was quite warm), no toilet seat in bathroom in bunk room. Bed linens are old and fraying and towels were well used. BUT….we would go back in a heart beat! Gilberto, Shellie and their niece welcomed us with open arms. They prepared, served and cleaned up after amazing meals!! Always smiling and willing to do anything to make our stay the best! From celebrating birthdays with a piñata, to pina coladas by the pool, we were spoiled. Enrique was the night security and he patrolled giving us added sense of safety, although we never felt uneasy. Thank you Marcelo for opening up your home to us.

Fantastic Family Vacation
Our family of 14 absolutely loved our week together at Villa Salamandra. Being right on the ocean was a major plus: walking on the beach, crashing waves, body boarding, building sand castles, dolphins swimming by every morning, and fantastic sunsets! Can’t say enough good things about the professional and friendly staff. The Villa was kept clean throughout the week, Rosa provided us with delicious meals, and Gilberto was always there anticipating and meeting our needs (from arranging transportation to making a pina colada and everything in between). Great family memories were created in abundance at Villa Salamandra!

Family vacation in Nuevo Vallarta
We stayed at Casa Salamandra from 12-26-19 to 1-2-20. Marcelo Mereles, the owner, was easy to communicate with, very responsive to our questions and very kind to us. His property was as described and was the best I have ever stayed at regarding location right on the beach of the Bay of Banderas in Nuevo Vallarta. Gilberto, who is the 24/7 on site concierge along with Shelly and Shaxeo provided us with 5 star service regarding meal preparation and service (whatever we wanted) as well as maintaining the living quarters and property and arranging transportation for a fishing trip and a trip to Las Caletas. These people made us feel very at home and treated us as a member of their family, always with a pleasant manner and smile on their faces. I highly recommend Casa Salamandra with no reservation!!

AMAZING CASA ON THE BEACH
There were 10 people in our group 4 grandkids, 4 parents, & 2 Grandparents. We came here to Celebrate Thanksgiving & Papa's 60th Bday. The accommodations were incredible, with 3 king size suites, & 2 very large extra bedrooms all rooms having there own bathroom, sitting area & closets! The whole property was above what I expected! Gilberto made sure that everything went smoothly! He grilled up some great meat & Mahi Mahi that we caught on our fishing trip! Anytime we needed something Gilberto was on top of it. Gilberto was very accommodating with our food Allergies , such as No peanut, dairy & gluten, & Gilberto understood exactly what we requested ( no one had any reactions), we were SO Grateful for this. He setup Massages & Wave runners, right on the property. Rosario & Araceli did a fantastic job with our laundry. Our rooms were very clean! Rosario & Araceli cooked all our meals & snacks! Hats off to you girls the food was fantastic! Always a big warm smile on there faces! It was hard for me to stay out of the kitchen, not use to having someone wait on me hand and foot. Now that I'm home I miss it! Enjoying the pool & the ocean allday was so great we didn't even want to leave. The walks along the beach were great. if you walk to Bucerias it takes approx. 1 hour 20 min. We Highly recommend this property ! Can't Say Enough about it. Group from Minnesota!
