We had an incredible time here at this property. The staff were there 24/7 (even with a private security in the evenings) and could honestly get you anything you needed. Everyone was super kind and accommodating. The house was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the the pool and private beach section were beyond what I expected and we had such an amazing time. Thank you!

I came back from this trip describing this trip as magical. I absolutely loved the house and the view was jaw dropping. Each morning had the most amazing sunrises. The house staff was amazing. They attended to all of our needs. Made amazing meals. We even caught fish that they made into ceviche, fillets, and burritos. So good! Kept everything really clean and it felt like a second home. Marcelo was also very responsive throughout. We will definitely be back!

Our family of 14 absolutely loved our week together at Villa Salamandra. Being right on the ocean was a major plus: walking on the beach, crashing waves, body boarding, building sand castles, dolphins swimming by every morning, and fantastic sunsets! Can’t say enough good things about the professional and friendly staff. The Villa was kept clean throughout the week, Rosa provided us with delicious meals, and Gilberto was always there anticipating and meeting our needs (from arranging transportation to making a pina colada and everything in between). Great family memories were created in abundance at Villa Salamandra!

We checked into this property and were forced to relocate at a considerable personal expense due to extreme safety concerns. There are corroded sewer grates that a person could fall through, there is exposed electrical throughout the house, the bar was full of ants, and the plumbing was so badly corroded that 2 bedrooms were unusable as the sagging pipes below created a terrible sewage stench in them. Further, the bedroom doors which open onto the beach do not lock which is a terrible safety concern. The pool did not heat, and there was no plan to fix it. We negotiated a refund with the owner, who made the refund contingent on us not leaving a review (for what its worth VRBO was totally OK with this arrangement and actually forwarded this request to us) Needless to say our refund still has not arrived after over 8 months. We will be posting real life (not marketing photos) of this nightmare online shortly - if you are considering staying here please google the name of this residence along with the words danger and fraud and our posting will come up - we are trying to help others not get robbed as we were.

The onsite staff was excellent and very accommodating. The location and view are spectacular. The facility is significantly outdated in relation to the pictures posted on line.

We stayed at Casa Salamandra from 12-26-19 to 1-2-20. Marcelo Mereles, the owner, was easy to communicate with, very responsive to our questions and very kind to us. His property was as described and was the best I have ever stayed at regarding location right on the beach of the Bay of Banderas in Nuevo Vallarta. Gilberto, who is the 24/7 on site concierge along with Shelly and Shaxeo provided us with 5 star service regarding meal preparation and service (whatever we wanted) as well as maintaining the living quarters and property and arranging transportation for a fishing trip and a trip to Las Caletas. These people made us feel very at home and treated us as a member of their family, always with a pleasant manner and smile on their faces. I highly recommend Casa Salamandra with no reservation!!

There were 10 people in our group 4 grandkids, 4 parents, & 2 Grandparents. We came here to Celebrate Thanksgiving & Papa's 60th Bday. The accommodations were incredible, with 3 king size suites, & 2 very large extra bedrooms all rooms having there own bathroom, sitting area & closets! The whole property was above what I expected! Gilberto made sure that everything went smoothly! He grilled up some great meat & Mahi Mahi that we caught on our fishing trip! Anytime we needed something Gilberto was on top of it.Gilberto was very accommodating with our food Allergies , such as No peanut, dairy & gluten, & Gilberto understood exactly what we requested ( no one had any reactions), we were SO Grateful for this. He setup Massages & Wave runners, right on the property.Rosario & Araceli did a fantastic job with our laundry.Our rooms were very clean! Rosario & Araceli cooked all our meals & snacks! Hats off to you girls the food was fantastic!Always a big warm smile on there faces!It was hard for me to stay out of the kitchen, not use to having someone wait on me hand and foot. Now that I'm home I miss it!Enjoying the pool & the ocean allday was so great we didn't even want to leave.The walks along the beach were great. if you walk to Bucerias it takes approx. 1 hour 20 min.We Highly recommend this property !Can't Say Enough about it. Group from Minnesota!

You can’t begin to describe how amazing this property is without mentioning Gilberto and Cheli! They truly make you feel special and at home. The location right on the beach, the beautiful house, the ocean view from every room, make this property just stunning. Between Gilberto and the ladies they keep the entire place remarkably clean, from the rooms to the pool. Each room has ample space, a private bathroom and air conditioning. We enjoyed every delicious meal outside. Cheli’s cooking is confident and never disappointed. Gilberto made sure that everything we wanted was readily available. My family and friends all had the time of our lives at Villa Salamandra. We have visited PVR every year since the 90’s and this was the most remarkable experience we have had. I definitely see us coming back to this property in our future.

It was our buddies trip and the house was a perfect fitting for our needs. Very clean and with a great scenery.Thank you Gilberto!!! You fulfill every one of our needs, service was incredible and the food superb!!!
