In the age of COVID-19 the fabulous oceanfront town of Puerto Vallarta. and it’s resorts. are ready for tourists again. The intimate and beachfront Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel has implemented safety and hygiene protocols that go beyond guidelines of the World Tourism Organization, The World Health Organization, and the criteria and contributions of Puerto Vallarta’s Hotel Association. With guest safety at the top of the list this casual, elegant, and  supremely satisfying luxury resort is ready to fulfill your needs for ideal chill time relaxation. The Villa Premiere emanates a vibe that is hard to describe. From its ultra-chic décor throughout to the immaculate inviting pool area and the relaxing and fine dining experiences, guests are pampered with the luxury of specialness. Crafted into the experience, by both the fine design and owner and managerial discernment, is the lofty and delightful air of an oasis.

With only 80 rooms and suites at this adults-only contemporary resort the warm and friendly staff quickly become attuned to each guest’s individual needs. While the unending smile and friendly greetings were appreciated I found my requisite solitary poolside relaxation time-honored by the attendants even while they served never-ending cocktails and lunch to nearby guests. After a delicious lunch at the open-air La Ceiba I took my refreshing Margarita break in the swim-up edgeless pool where I meet a number of returning guests and fans of the resort. Then on to a beach cabana, a quick snack, the rest of my book, and the creeping anticipation of my planned sunset dinner at Villa Premiere’s sophisticated and gourmet La Corona. I greatly enjoyed every meal. Executive Chef Elias Sapien adds innovative nuance to his cuisine and the service is crisp. Watching the beach illuminate each morning, as the sun rises over the Sierra Madre Mountains while enjoying a plate full of fresh-baked pastries, blended juices, strong coffee, and gourmet Mexican breakfast dishes was a lasting pleasure. In the evenings amid the glow of the pool, dim lights at trendy and sophisticated La Corona, and at the intimate Mexican Cuisine Murales the resort becomes more intimate and elegantly romantic.
