It's at the central location where I lived there.

I like everything

Great staff / property The apartment/hotel was clean but the floor was somewhat sticky. It may be from the humidity Overall we quite enjoyed the property and jungle bug sounds at night

Very clean property with a security gate to insure safety. Rooms are cleaned daily and staff are very helpful

Nice property with large suites. Working staff very nice and respectful. Note that smaller 1-bedroom suites do not have air conditioner in main living area, but only a wall mounted unit in the bedroom. Two-bedroom units are fully air conditioned. Free breakfast is basically some fruits, breads and sliced cheese, juice and basic coffee. No eggs or oatmeal, etc. Omelets ($4), nicer coffees ($3 to $4), etc. are available for an extra charge. Low grade breakfast was a real disappointment; nothing compared to the breakfast at Marriott Residence Inn (fabulous breakfast).

Rooms need updating but there is a current renovation happening right now. Some of the staff during breakfast not very friendly. Front office staff was very friendly . Great location to be able to walk or short drives to popular places in town.

Great place to stay especially if you have kids.

The location is where we use to live, easy access to busses, the personnel is always great & friendly, my accommodations are always great.

Very clean, armed guard, gated property very safe area of town, can easily walk to restaurants, city bus in front of property, close to hiwy, close to American counsel, staff speaks English, close to Goodness Dental. nice pool, nice grounds, free breakfast.

Breakfast buffet offered good choices but eggs were cold.

Security in the property was excellent. Availability of coffee 24/7 is a definite plus for coffee lovers. Airport pick-up and drop-off service is much appreciated.

Very clean. Only miss some coffee but in reception I found some fresh brewed coffee

Great service, friendly staff, great breakfast, wonderful pool.

We enjoyed the help from the staff at rhe front desk, and loved the beautiful plants and landscape, as well as the pool.

very safe and secure. large units and very clean. they used to offer hard boiled eggs for free in the breakfast, but now they charge extra for eggs.

Excellent . I have no complaints. The staff was amazing.

Always a great stay at Villa de Rio!! The staff is excellent and the grounds are well maintained. With 2 Pools, Jacuzzi a gimnasio plus spacious suites make this property a favorite for many travelers.
