Villa del Mar

Started November 7, 2008 · 11,976 views · 3 posts
Villa del Mar is in a great location in the hotel zone. Close to the Peninsula Plaza where there are some restaurants and a Starbucks. There is also a fabulous wine store (chilled cellar conditions) right outside your complex. There are great views from most units but you need to negotiate a little.

Gigante no longer exists. But when you get to Plaza Caracol, you will find a Soriana that is not much different than Gigante.

For a great hotel, try the Fiesta Americana, and have dinner on their elevated palapa in the middle of one of their pools. We had a burger there today at the Sunset Bar on the beach and it was bad and cost 110p. But the other place is served better by their main kitchen.

Thanks for the quick and informative responses.
There is no chance of a water view from the Villa Del Mar. It is set back off the beach. The only view you will have is of the pool. You will have full use of all the services from its sister resort Villa del Palmar.
