Amaria Villas

We had a blast at this beautiful place up in the mountains, and I’d bring people back. There were about 20 of us. The atmosphere was lively, with a DJ and great music, though it got a little loud for my old ears. Victor was my favorite waiter, always on top of our food and drink orders, and the French fries were great. The day pass is 300 pesos, about $16 US, and that amount goes toward food and drinks. The three of us had four drinks and food, and our bill came to 1200 pesos. I’m a little drunk while writing this, so sorry for any grammar issues.

We loved it! It’s a great jungle retreat, about a 20 minute drive from Zona Romantica, with comfortable accommodations at a surprisingly low price. It’s far from the city noise, and the owner even gave us a private tour of the property. We’ll be back. There’s a 300 peso minimum that goes toward drinks and the really good food. Just make sure you have a ride back before you go. No Uber, taxi, or Didi would even give us a quote to come pick us up that far up the road.

We only stopped for lunch during our ATV trip through the jungle, so we didn’t stay overnight or see the rooms. Still, we got to jump in the pool, have tequila shots after doing the high jump, and eat lunch. The photos really don’t capture it, you have to experience the place. The owner was kind and personable, gave us a tour, and brought us towels to dry off. 10/10.

A really relaxing place, even for locals looking for a getaway in Vallarta. The service was great, and the pool tucked into the jungle was a real wow. They have a few rooms too.
