Jardin del Mar

We would love to stay here again ❤️

The location on the beach was wonderful with an exceptional view of the bay. The authentic Mexican style of the property was appealing and relaxing. The pool and patio areas were excellent to soak up some sun or just relax with a coffee or cold drink. The water taps in the bathroom shower and sink were difficult to adjust and the sink was slow to drain. The overhead ceiling fans need to be cleaned. The mattress on the bed was not very supportive and caused some mild back pain. The kitchen dishes and utensils could be of better quality and the stove in the shared kitchen did not heat efficiently.

Cute little hotel. Nice pool. Great staff. All good.

Great view, quite grounds, but need a vehicle if you have to do any shopping or get to restaurants.

If you want to treat yourself to utter beauty and tropical auras stay here. You will delight in THOUSANDS of art pieces tucked in every nook and cranny and even canvases in your room and hallways. This is in addition to a fully stocked kitchen (ie everything but food), comfy beds, colorful gathering spaces, intricate walkways, secure locked gates along the beach and roadway, and the bay only feet away. It is also possible to walk along the beach to La Cruz. From the property we saw 20+ bird species, as the grounds contain mature trees, unlike the nearby condos scouring the landscape. You DO have to lay in some meals or drive/taxi to the nearest town. But there is a full size refrigerator in the kitchen. The nearly developments make this spot a slice of heaven.

The room with the view was well furnished. The pool was big enough to swim laps. The community kitchen was a big plus, complete with a full size fridge. There was a small fridge in the room. The maintenance man, Mario, was very responsive. Swimming in the ocean was nice. The gate to the ocean and the gate to drive in are padlocked and very difficult to operate. Too many different keys. A key for the ocean gate, a key for the drive in gate, and a key for the walk in gate, which you need to open to get to the padlock for the drive in gate. Very steep driveway.

Being right in front of the beach was great. Pool and property are beyond beautiful. The wifi stopped working halfway through our stay so I was unable to take a work meeting. shower temperature was hard to control.

Restful and relaxing amongst old world charm. We loved staying here.

gorgeous authentic

Beautiful, serene setting. The rooms are stunning, filled with folk art and astounding tile work. Feels like a museum. Yolanda are staff very welcoming.

The Villa is everything the reviewers tell you and more. It is a little slice of heaven set away from the glitzy all-inclusives. The place is spotless & every nook & cranny has been thought out. The entire property is yours - take advantage of it especially the outdoor kitchen & 3rd level patio. The Delfin suite was so amazing - massive including living area. Kayaks for use, on-site staff and managers available on What's App. We took advantage of the pre-order groceries which is a game-changer. Had cold beer, guac & chips for our arrival & were able to ease into the vacay by making our own breaky. Easy walk on the beach to La Cruz (Sunday Market is a must) and a decent walk (1hr to Bucerias) Buses are plentiful and easy to get to if you just walk up the road 900m to the roadway. The other guests are all quiet and respectful and you barely run into one-another. There are kayaks to use and the beach is 3 steps away. The pool is perfect and so clean. There is a giant wardrobe near the entrance that has giant, fluffy beach towels, bug spray, medications ie: Pepto Bismal, tampons and bandaids... so helpful. We arrived on a National holiday and were in Los Santos hut with no windows, just screens. The rental house next door partied for two nights in a row & it felt like they were in our bedroom. It was LOUD. Then the all-inclusive in the next bay liked to have live bands on the grounds so we got it from both directions. We asked to be moved and were quickly accommodated to the Delfin. We truly loved our little hut but there was no sleeping under those circumstances. No fault of the Villa.

I love this place. .. Yolanda you are awesome! The frog.. lol

The property was magical with every nook and cranny well thought out…an amazing collection of Mexican folk art! The rooftop patio is where we started and ended each day. The property wasn’t within walking distance to any conveniences, but to no fault of their own. There was a lot of construction noise, but beautiful properties being built.

The grounds are beautiful and full of beautiful plants and flowers. It’s beachfront and a short walk to a nice sandy beach. The pool is very clean and a great temperature and there are a lot of places to relax. You can tell the staff really cares about giving guests the best experience and there are a lot of small touches that didn’t go unnoticed! The only downfall is that the location isn’t within walking distance of much. It’s nice in some ways because it’s removed from the busy part of town, but you do have to rely on taxis or Ubers to get anywhere.

The house is beautiful, the amenities are in perfect condition and everything is clean. The beds and pillows are very comfortable and the casitas have everything you need to make your stay pleasant. Mr. Mario and Mrs. Yolanda made us feel at home and are excellent landlords. The overall organization was exceptional from the beginning. Even though the beach is rocky, there are spaces to swim either on the one right in front or walk to the ones that are nearby. In short, it was the best choice for our vacation and we hope to return! It was not something negative but if darker curtains or blinds could be placed in the casitas it would be excellent since at dawn the light is quite strong and wakes you up.

We liked the private, peaceful location. Beautiful villa and gardens with artistic touches. Lovely view. It was challenging to get into town to eat if you don't have a car or scooter. There was no restaurants or food stores close by. We ordered breakfast one morning, but it was disappointing. Breakfast should be better quality.

The art work and peace and quiet were wonderful. I also liked the beach access and how friendly the staff is. We really enjoyed shopping at the fish market then coming back and using the outdoor grill to prepare it. The location was a bit isolated. I think I would have preferred a place a little closer to a town. Perhaps easier to walk to. During dusk there were bugs. Bring bug repellent if outdoors. With the spray we did not get bit.

The lovely hotel is right on the beach. There is pool large enough to swim laps. The grounds are spectacular--put together by the original owner, an artist, who collected Mexican artifacts, tiles, and gorgeously designed the villa. Nothing the property can do, but too much construction is happening surrounding the once, off the grid, quiet space. As a result, construction noise, blaring music is sometimes intrusive. There can be smell of sewage at the east end of the lower floor and pool area near where water flows down to the beach.

Everything was excellent! The place is beautiful, clean and the staff is very helpful. The beach is not the best one, it has a lot of rocks

Beautiful complex and view from our room. Nice staff, pool, and beach access. We were able to check out late, which was fantastic. Had to wait over 30 min to check in, as nobody was there to open the gate when we arrived.
