The hotel’s 70 rooms and suites are located in beautiful adobe-like villas amidst luxuriant tropical gardens. No two of them are alike – here some twisted tree trunks are holding up a little tile roof, there a private terrace is framed by the fringes of its palm-thatched roof.

Today our private patch of beach which stretches for 600 feet along the blue waters of the tranquil bay is our proudest possession. The warm waters, are ideal for swimming and all kinds of water sports year-round. The hotel makes arrangements for windsurfing, sailing, water-skiing, snorkeling or scuba diving.

Of course, the beach is also perfect for doing nothing at all. Just relax on a comfortable lounge chair, exotic drink in hand, and read your favorite book. Get a relaxing massage, watch the pelicans dive for fish or have a local trio - they walk by, instruments on their backs, every once in a while - serenade you into dreamland.

Our beach boys will keep an eye on you and set up your lounge chairs with mattresses and towels almost before you yourself know which perfect beach spot you have chosen. Friendly waiters also prowl our beach to serve you drinks, snacks and a full lunch menu on linen-set tables under your own thatched palapa directly on the sand - or, if you prefer, right next to your comfortable lounge chair. Just whistle, wink or wave.

In the afternoon, a dip in one of our four pristine swimming pools will feel just perfect. Just one hop off the sand and you can submerge yourself in what has become our owner’s greatest pride - a fantastic infinity pool (try the hippo’s perspective and you will find out where the “infinity” part comes from) that seems to literally spill right into the ocean.

If you want to cool off and “moisturize” with even less physical effort, roll out of your lounge chair right into the pool next to the restaurant, let the aqueduct splash cool water on your head and scoot up to the swim-up bar. Our cheerful bartenders will know just what to serve you to keep you well “moisturized” inside and out.
For serious water rats there is also our 60 ft. lap pool right behind the two tennis courts.

With so much sun around all the time, we make sure that our esteemed guests also find enough shady spots to cool off. We built plenty of individual “palapas” -those palm-thatched umbrellas - everywhere for you to enjoy our beach. We also keep the tropical gardens in immaculate shape so that you can take a leisurely stroll along the meandering pathways or find a comfortable bench under a tree.

If you really want to pamper yourself, you should stop nothing short of a full-fledged facial and a heavenly relaxing massage. We will massage your last bit of stress away in the privacy of your suite or to the sound of the waves under the dreamy canopy of our massage tent right on the beach.

The athletes among you may want to arrange for a lesson with our tennis pro on one of our two floodlit tennis courts or work on your backstroke in Villa del Sol’s 60 ft. lap pool. There are two world-class 18-hole golf courses nearby - a Robert Trent Jones Jr. and a Robert van-Hagge. Both have equipment for rental.

Miguel, our guardian angel on the beach, will also be happy to rent you one of his catamarans or take you out sailing himself. Most of our guests fall in love with Miguel right after meeting him for the first time - he swims like a dolphin, knows everything about the local wildlife, is always helpful and has the most beautiful smile!
For all you hopelessly romantic souls, by the way, there is horseback riding on unspoiled beaches nearby.

The recipe for the Andalusian gazpacho stems from a true Andalusian grandmother, and the bouillabaisse could compete with the best ones found in Marseilles. Forget everything you ever thought you knew about 'Mexican food' – there is no such thing as a 'burrito' in Mexico - and let us introduce you to the amazing flavors and textures of authentic Mexican cuisine.

'The Restaurant at Villa del Sol' is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The adjoining terrace provides seating for romantic dinners under wide beach umbrellas. The Mexican Fiesta buffet on Friday nights is a feast for the eyes as much as for the palate and gives you an opportunity to sample a variety of traditional Mexican dishes. If you have a special diet or just to satisfy a particular craving–anything can be prepared for you if you give us a day's notice.

At the Orlando’s Bar you will have the world’s best margaritas. Orlando - who has been the great “master of spirits” here at Villa del Sol for over twenty years and actually got a bar named after him - invites the guests every night to superior margaritas, a wide array of wickedly delicious tropical drinks, the smoothest tequilas and the meanest martinis south of the border. Orlando’s English is flawless, by the way, but he will try to trick you into speaking only Spanish with him. And - you know what? - most people insist that “honestly, after the third margarita I was quite fluent!”

The real beauty of getting married on our beach is the fact that you can do it barefoot, no jacket required. Weddings are not the only fiestas we love to celebrate with you. Just ask, and let us take care of all the details for a perfectly romantic proposal or engagement dinner. We will make your first anniversary just as unforgettable as your 25th and we guarantee you will feel younger than ever when you celebrate your birthday here at Villa del Sol.
