Spacious Accommodations

I can see how amazing these villas can be, the view SPECTACULAR! For our experience I would rate the accommodations 3.5 stars due to the upkeep of the unit. We were placed in phase 1 and the furnishings were very worn down. The fountain outside the front door didn’t work and attracted mosquitoes. The washer didn’t work. Overall the unit needed some TLC. However, the staff I would give 5 stars. The service was amazing. I would return, just try to request a phase 2 unit if possible. ”

Highly recommend! We had a great time!

We had a great time! Our villa & service were all fantastic. Yummy all inclusive plan made it super relaxing. Our favorite meals were at the Monte Cristo clubhouse restaurant. Highly recommend! We will be back! ”

Pacific Ocean Views

Wow. The view was amazing. Beautiful Resort. If you go from January through March you will see plenty of whales right from the patio. Highly recommend.”

MonteCristo 4 Bedroom Villa

LOVED our time here!! Favorite time spend in the infinity pool and built in hot tub. Pool is large with a wading pool area. The fourth bedroom is a separate and beautiful studio near the pool and covered patio area. In the main home the sliding doors open to bring the outdoor area in. So relaxing and beautiful. The view is not as good as other villas, sits in the lower area, but still got beautiful sunsets! Love the staff, so kind and such hard workers!”

Fabulous

The Montecristo Estate Villa was amazing. The villa had everything we needed and the staff couldn't have ben nicer or more helpful. The main pool was lovely, although very crowded. Although the villa was located so high up the mountain, we couldn't walk anywhere there was a good transportation system. All is all I would recommend it highly!”

Another Excellent Stay!

We love this resort and the amenities. The location can be a bit of a challenge without a car but we always rent one for the convenience of trips to the other resorts, to the grocery store or town. This property is perched high on the top of the ridge overlooking the entire resort area with incredible views of the ocean. The infinity pool is perfectly refreshing, and the two level layout of the home is perfectly suited for families wanting some privacy. The Market restaurant area on the way to Sunset was a big hit with our family, offering many different food choices. The smaller kids always love the kids club.”

Not recommended until work is completed

The location and views were amazing!! The house needs serious maintenance work. Exterior doors did not lock, rusted away balcony railings, exterior electrical was not operational, exterior fountain floods front door and replaced fireplace and frame were sitting in courtyard. I highly recommend this place AFTER maintenance work is completed.”

A great view of the Pacific

Quite rainy when we arrived (tropical storm Javier ); after that first day, the weather was fabulous! Truly a first class wonderful and very spacious Villa! We enjoyed the views, the hot tub,the infinity pool, to name a few things. The concierge (Edgardo?),was most informative and was always available for help (although we never needed any reservations, due to the off-season timing of our stay). Montecristo is a 5* time share resort that is the crown jewel of a much larger resort called Pueblo Bonito. Cactus car rental was perfect for us! We do recommend having a car at this property.”
