Villamar Beach Resort

Description

Look, I’ve seen my fair share of beach resorts, but Villamar Beach Resort really caught me by surprise. It’s one of those places that manages to strike a sweet balance between laid-back coastal vibes and upscale comfort. The resort sprawls across a pristine beachfront, and I gotta tell you – the sound of waves crashing against the shore becomes your constant companion here.

The rooms? They’re pretty spacious and most of them offer these killer ocean views that’ll make your Instagram followers jealous. Sure, some parts of the resort could use a touch of updating, but that’s part of its charm – it feels lived-in and real, not like those sterile, cookie-cutter resorts you find everywhere these days.

Best Time to Visit

I learned this the hard way – timing is everything at Villamar. The sweet spot? December through April. That’s when you’ll get the perfect combo of sunny skies and gentle sea breezes. The waters are calmer too, ideal for swimming and water sports. But here’s an insider tip: book for early December or late April. You’ll dodge the peak season crowds and probably score better rates.

Avoid June through September unless you’re cool with occasional rain showers. Though honestly? Even during rainy season, you’ll still get plenty of sunny breaks to enjoy the beach.

How to Get There

Getting to Villamar isn’t exactly a walk in the park, but that’s what keeps it special. From the nearest international airport, you’re looking at about a 45-minute drive. The resort offers shuttle services – definitely worth booking in advance. If you’re feeling adventurous like I was, you can grab a taxi, but make sure to agree on the fare beforehand.

Y’know what’s cool? The slightly remote location actually works in your favor. Once you’re there, you feel like you’ve discovered your own little slice of paradise.

Tips for Visiting

Alright, let me share some hard-earned wisdom from my stays here. First off, request a room in the north wing – these rooms were recently updated and have the best views. The sunrise from these balconies? Absolutely worth waking up early for.

Book your spa treatments in advance, especially during peak season. The local massage techniques are amazing, but slots fill up fast. Oh, and don’t miss the Wednesday night seafood buffet – it’s a total game-changer.

Pack water shoes! The beach is gorgeous but can get a bit rocky in some spots. And speaking of packing, throw in some light layers for evening sea breezes.

Hit up the water sports center early in your stay – they often run promotions for multi-day rentals. And if you’re into photography, the lighting is absolutely magical during golden hour, around 5 PM.

Here’s something most people don’t realize – the resort’s front desk can arrange local village tours. It’s a fantastic way to experience the authentic culture and maybe pick up some unique souvenirs.

Last but not least, join the resort’s loyalty program before booking. Even if you’re not planning to return (though you probably will), it comes with some sweet perks like late checkout and dining discounts.

Remember to bring cash for local vendors and small shops in the area – not everyone accepts cards. And don’t be shy about chatting with the staff – they know all the hidden gems around the resort and love sharing their local knowledge.
