Harbour Village Beach Club

This was our second stay at Harbour Village Beach Club, and we will definitely be back soon. The resort is immaculate and beautiful, and we absolutely loved shore diving right from the resort’s white sand beach. However, it is the resort’s staff that make the stay so special. All of the staff members with whom we dealt went out of their way to make us feel like family. Luis Fonseca was an exceptionally good dive instructor. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Dennis at the dive center was incredibly helpful and professional every day and made important repairs to our dive equipment on two separate occasions so we did not need to cancel any of our dives. Niels at the La Balandra restaurant was extremely professional and kept us entertained while giving us superb service. Tijn at La Balandra was extremely friendly and helpful, and gave us great service. Huntley of the valet team was extremely helpful and treated us like family as well. It is staff members like these that make our stays at Harbour Village so very special. This was our second stay with Harbour Village and we will be back again because of the positive experiences created by staff members like these.

With only a single blemish, this was an fabulous vacation that started and ended with an amazing staff dedicated to making our stay as perfect as possible. A month before our trip, I received a call from Katie, who introduced herself as our concierge, and spent significant time with me going through our stay, offering advice on activities and restaurants, and offering to make reservations for us. To be clear, she wasn't selling activities or pushing certain restaurants - she was offering to do the legwork to make whatever I wanted, or needed, happen. For example, I followed up a few days later and asked her to reserve a truck for me for one of the days. She responded within a few hours later with a quote (better than I could have gotten myself) for a truck to be delivered to the resort and then picked up the following day. We went with it and it worked out awesomely. The complimentary airport transfer was undertaken by Huntley, who gave us a quick tour on the way, got our bags to our room, and, most importantly, let us know his local band was playing nearby on Wednesday. (We went and saw the band. They were awesome, playing native music to a very receptive audience (and cold beers for me!)). Upon arrival to the resort, we were greeted by Dawn, another super-friendly concierge who gave us a tour of the beautiful resort and graciously answered question after question. We interacted with Dawn, Katie and the other wonderful concierge staff throughout the stay - always so helpful and nice. As we arrived late afternoon on our first day and wanted to dive the next day, we went to the dive shop right as it was closing. We were told we had to do an orientation/assessment shore dive before we could get on a boat, but that if we did it first thing in the morning when the shop opened, we could make the 10:30 dive. I already knew this was a requirement of the marina, not the resort, so no worries, but this is something I would want to know in advance. We headed to the restaurant, sat at the bar, and had Richie make us his choice of drinks. Fabulous!! I'm going to gloss over the resort itself, as others have covered it well. I want to reiterate that it is spotless, with the staff always (ALWAYS) working hard to make it beautiful. We stayed in rooms 324 and 325, which were second floor oceanfront with a perfect balcony view of a white beach, palms trees and blue waters. I should note that we had a kitchenette, with a four-burner stove, full sized fridge and convection oven/microwave. This mattered to us. A tip - the mosquitos come out after sundown. If you sit on your balcony, you can change the direction of the fan. If you have the wind blowing down at the highest speed, the mosquitos won't be a problem. We interacted with a ton of locals during this stay, often in bars or on water excursions. To a person, everyone told us the Harbour Village BC was top notch. And they were right. The shop itself is run professionally, with their expertise

My husband and I stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. Spacious rooms right on the beach. He went diving every day while I enjoyed the uncrowded beach. The restaurant on-site was very good and has beautiful setting. We walked the mile into downtown almost every night. The grounds are very well maintained. The spa and exercise room need updating. I booked a pedicure and the set up was very outdated. The gym wipes to clean the equipment were all dried out and it was frequently very hot in there.

Really enjoyed our stay. Not perfect but close. Would recommend and hope to return. Location great. Loved the private beach and on-site restaurant La Balandra. Food very good and servers very friendly.

Absolutely awesome! From the hotel provided pick up at the airport, bellman taking bags to the room, all the way through to dropping back off, top notch on every item. Welcome staff, spa, diving crew, restaurant service, all five stars! We can’t wait to go back. Clean room, clean grounds, manicured beach daily. The dive team is knowledgeable, fun, and superb customer service. Our massages at the spa were both great, we enjoyed our breakfast everyone morning as part of the package deal with great food and excellent service, and most evenings we ate at the resort and the food and service were top notch.

We are recurring guests. It is a beautiful property. It is very peaceful and tranquil place to stay. The food is delicious and the service outstanding.
