Terrific Place to Stay!
Terrific! Great accommodations conveniently located!
Jerold, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Thanks for a good memory/experience!
Love this place! Apartment was a bit dated but clean and large! Great bath/shower. (But, I'd rather have it not updated and the price cheaper, so that was a win for us). The property was very nice, clean and beautifully appointed/laid out. The gym, pool and breakfast were excellent. Hot tub was hot, pool was comfy cool...Yay!! Customer service easy and clear and we felt very safe with the gated entrance. Area was nice. Would like to return again!!

Villas del Rio is very well managed--I can't say enough about how good their staff is and the facilities are really nice as well. I've seldom been this satisfied with a hotel stay, but they were outstanding! I just had the basic one-bedroom booking, but still it was like a small apartment. Don't hesitate to stay there.
