ACAPULCO, OCEANSIDE RETREAT, 'VILLA PARAISO'

Looking over the many reviews already posted here, I find there’s really not much left for me to add to the eulogies and detailed descriptions of this gorgeous and unique property. Villa Paraíso undoubtedly lives up to its name.
I’ve been coming here approx. every 3 years for a number of years, and every time I’m back, I’m amazed at the way Judith, the owner and a long-time friend of mine since our early days at UT Austin, Texas, manages to add even more beauty to this place that seemed already perfect to me the very first time I got to discover it. The constant upgrades Judith has made over the years are so completely in line with the fascinating environment that everything blends in just perfectly with Mother Nature. As a result of all these improvements, visitors get to live an unforgettable experience in great comfort and in an atmosphere of total relaxation and harmony. It all makes you feel like you were on a different planet.
The spectacular view from all parts of the house and the famous Acapulco sunsets are only some of the assets the villa has to offer; not to mention Anita, who will pamper you with the results of her incredible cooking talents and delicious drinks.
For those of you who, like me, need some activity besides relaxing, you can go waterskiing on a nearby lake (Pie de la Cuesta), but actually, you don’t even have to leave the premises. You can just walk down to the private beach or explore for hours the “piece of jungle” right below the house (suitable footwear required!). In fact, you don’t even need a car when you feel the urge to shake a leg. At only 3 min. walking distance from the house you’ll find a spacious terrace-like restaurant overlooking the ocean, where live-bands are performing almost daily. This is a hot tip for lovers of salsa and Latin-American music in general, even though Judith will hate me for mentioning this… (she is not enthused at all by the presence of this place in her neighbourhood).
Villa Paraíso is a fantastic retreat for anyone, no matter whether you visit with friends, family or on your own. I guarantee you’ll miss it once you’re back home – like I do now!

My family (wife, 3 yr. old daughter, in-laws, brother & sister in law, two teen age nephews and nice and I) just spent a wonderful week at Villa Paraiso. I am a return visitor as I had visited several times in the past, but the last was over ten years ago. I must say that the many improvements made this stay more comfortable and entertaining than ever before. The cable tv and internet service really came in handy. The pool was as wonderful as I remembered, and the Jacuzzi offered us another way to enjoy paradise.
The owner of the property was terrific. She assured that all of the arrangements were taken care of, and checked in with us during our visit to make sure that everything was in order.
The caretakers of the property were just wonderful, and took care of our every need. Anita (the chef) prepared anything that we wanted, and my wife enjoyed spending (a little) time in the kitchen to share and learn secrets.
We spend most of the time on the property, however we did make it down to the private beach several times as well as a day trip to Pie de la Questa and an evening at the costera (the Acapulco strip). Each are less than 15 minutes away, so the trip is easy.
We went to Villa Paraiso to relax and spend some quality family time, and that we did. We would highly recommend Villa Paraiso to anyone who want to be pampered. We'll definitely

I had a fabulous stay at Villa Paraiso. This unique villa continues to captivate my interest as it is the second time I visit since the recent addition of the downstairs section of the house. This new part is awesome and has a Jacuzzi for 6 and a Hawaiian style tiki hut (cabana or palapa) with a gorgeous view of the ocean, perfect for reading, working on your laptop, or just chatting and relaxing. My first stay took place when I was only a child. I celebrated for a week , swimming in the pool alongside my brother all day long while my mother and aunt preferred relaxing poolside on beach chairs while watching the famous Acapulco sunsets from the comfort of our own villa. Those days represent memorable moments that continue to live on today. Now that I am older, and have had the chance to visit this unique home again, I have come to appreciate even more the serene beauty of this place, as well as its relaxing environment and delicious food prepared daily by Anita, who is very friendly and an incredible cook. I recommend it highly for friend reunions, romantic couples, retirees, and families.
