Everything you need to know for your upcoming visit to La Villa Reyes

  • Directions

    Getting to Playa Las Tortugas from Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara is not difficult. And finding La Villa Reyes once you get here is simple. Just follow our instructions below! The last 9 kilometers of road are flat and can be navigated with a normal car, but is quite bumpy, so please be patient and allow 30 minutes for this part of your trip.

  • Checking-in

    Check-in is at 3 p.m. When you arrive at the Playa Las Tortugas gate please provide your name to security. They will direct you to the house and Maria will meet you at the house, unless we make other arrangements together such as if you are arriving at night.

  • Meals & food

    The charm of Playa Las Tortugas is its beauty and remoteness. But with that comes a lack of nearby restaurants or stores - the nearest is 45 minutes away. Please plan to bring all the food and necessities you will need, or arrange for our private chef service. About 1/2 of our guests choose the chef service. It’s wonderful!

  • Water

    We have a drinking water service so several 5 gallon jugs will be available for your use. No need to bring your own bottled water.

    We provide large glass bottles that you can fill and place in the refrigerator to ensure you have cool drinking water.

  • Internet

    We have Starlink internet from SpaceX which provides excellent high-speed internet. From the listing of wifi networks on your device, select “La Villa Reyes”, then enter the password “41Tortugas!”.

  • Fun things

    Here is a brief list of some of our favorite things to do here in Playa Las Tortugas.

  • Cascahuin Tequila

    We have a limited supply of delicious artisanal tequila from Cascahuin. We also have traditional “copitas” to drink from so you can savor the smells of agave. This tequila is too good for a shot glass! We offer blanco, reposado and añejo.

  • Microbrews

    We bring in cases of our favorite Puerto Vallarta beer straight from their brewery. We think Los Muertos fits the Playa Las Tortuas vibe.

  • Sonoma Wine

    It can be hard to find good wine in Mexico, so we bring some down from Northern California. Benziger from Sonoma is one of our favorites.

  • Things to be aware of

    We want your trip to Playa Las Tortugas to be enjoyable, which means keeping an eye out for things like…falling coconuts.

  • Transportation

    Our caretaker Mario has a transportation business. He can take care of getting you to/from the airport, or anywhere else you wish to go.

  • Recycling, Compost & Trash

    Maria will take care of disposing of recycling, compost and garbage. Just leave it in the appropriate cans in the kitchen and she will clear it each day.
