Villas Paradise — Hotel in San Francisco

We stayed in the penthouse. It's a beautiful location and is quite large. Inside, however, everything is falling apart. The drains are all clogged. Tiles are falling off the countertops. There are inadequate cooking utensils, including no knife or cutting board, in the kitchen. We expected that there would be dish soap and paper towels but there were not. Ants everywhere inside the unit, even though we kept it fastidiously clean. Everything (including the fake waterfall in the living area) leaked, creating dangerous, slick areas on the tile surfaces. The windows did not have screens, meaning that if we wanted a breeze, we had to contend with mosquitoes in our rooms. When our water ran out, we did not get a replacement jug for 2 days. The AC in the room did not work through the night - it would eventually begin to make loud clicking noises.||||The penthouse also has a strange layout and the living space is so large that it actually is difficult to understand other people because it echoes so loudly.||||We discovered that one of the pieces of artwork showing an underwater scene was actually just a beach towel stretched across a wooden frame.||||Another party staying in another room did not have working water or electricity for the first day.||||The maids seemed to keep the floors and beds clean,...

Villas Paradise is a small group of condos in the lovely village of San Francisco (known locally as San Pancho) north of Puerto Vallarta. It is in a magnificent position and just a short walk from the beach.

While the owners advertised dishwasher, television, washers and fully equipped kitchens, we found none of these available - one wineglass for a three bedroom unit!

The non-resident manager was helpful when approached and the maid service was efficient. A sense of humour would help when staying here, especially when confronted with the eclectic art work in the Penthouse unit. We will return to San Pancho, but another...

My friends and I take golf trips and like staying just outside of large cities. San Pancho is nestled in a breathtaking cove called San Pancho. Villas Paradise was an awesome experience. I didn't read the reviews prior to going there. But I am glad we did... The hotel staff and manager couldn't have been friendlier! Too bad she was married though... The rooms were clean and ready for our arrival. They must have read the reviews on here! ||The views were spectacular...service was right there at your fingertips..Located near the beach, Beach Club ( great for scenic cocktails) and tacos.... and impressive restaurants.||The architecture was over the top! Highly recommend...
