We could not have been more warmly welcomed than we were by Patricia and Michael. The hotel was in the process of being repainted when we were there in November 2010, and I'm sure by now it is impeccable. Patricia also very kindly drove us down into the town the first evening we were there and directed us to a hamburgeseria which was just what we needed.

We stayed there last winter and had one of our best vacations we have ever had in Mexico. Manzanillo was charming, not too loud, fairly economical, has a variety of good beaches and is close to several other towns and villages. We stayed at Hotel Villa LA for 3 weeks and could not ask for a nicer place. Owners, Patricia and Michel were just short of fantastic and helped us in so many ways. Going back there to meet up with fellow Canadians ( and a few yanks) and Pat and Michel is going to be like visiting old friends. Looking forward to 5 weeks next February.

We stayed here for the month of January 2011 and it was just great. The owners Michel and Patricia are wonderful hosts and this lasted the whole month, not just the initial welcome.

We particularly liked the staff, many of whom have been there for years. The hotel has a hill location with 360 degree views and a lovely pool area. Every unit is a suite setup and many regulars stay a month or two every winter. Theft of valuables is non-existent.

There is no restaurant on site and it is a 10 min walk (2 min cab ride & cab rides are cheap) to the main thoroughfare. This insulates you from the noise and traffic.

Our only minor gripe was the need to maintain standards: the suite appliances, TV's etc. were good in some suites and poor in others. So, Michel, get to work!

So stay here, you will enjoy yourself.

spent 2 weeks in 3 bedroom villa. very clean. Pool area has great views, with laid back feel. Friendly staff. A couple of minutes walk down the hill to a nice cove beach, but a 5 minute cab to one of the nicest beaches we have come across. There are plenty of restaurants and pub style places close buy as well. Just ask the front desk person for info on what your interested in and you will have all you need to make an informed decision. Excellent weather and warm ocean. We will definitely be returning next year, same time, same place! P.s. If you are a golfer, Las Hadas golf course is an excellent course, not easy, but beautiful and challenging, and only minutes away.
