We stayed at Rancho Banderas for 1 week with my husband's parents and our kids, ages 14 & 11. The resort was everything we were looking for: clean, comfortable, secluded, with a friendly staff and a taste of "real" Mexico nearby. The activities were relaxing and upbeat, thanks to Mario, the Activities Director. We especially enjoyed the Spanish & cooking... more

This was our 2nd visit to Rancho Relaxo as they like to call themselves. And it is truely fitting. I come away from there completely rested. There are a few activities that include anyone at the resort who would like to join in, but it's very layed back and enjoyable. We start our day with sleeping in, some Water Aeropics... more

This was my second stay at Rancho Banderas. First was 2 years ago with my husband, this time was a girl's trip. Great vacation, great service, grounds are beautiful. Both times I scored a beach front 2-bedroom villa, just walk right out on to the beach. If you surf there is plenty just to the right of the resort, not... more

We had the best beach vacation ever, thanks to Rancho Banderas. The suites were clean, the staff was welcoming and helpful and the food at the restaurant was fantastic. The beach and surrounding area was secluded and quiet, just what we wanted. However, you could easily grab a taxi and head into PV or rent a car. We ventured to... more

Rancho Banderas is for vacationers who want to get away from it all without sacrificing views, service, luxury. Location near Punta de Mita is prime. Would highly recommend a visit north to Sayulitas and San Francisco. Interesting and cozy places with surprising numbers of expats and Canadians. Nightly views of rain forest and sunsets were priceless. Concierge service was first... more

We stayed in Rancho Banderas Vacation Villas in June 2009. The place was really beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. Staff was very courteous. We rented a 2 bed room apt. Place was clean and complete with amenities. Restaurant was a bit dissappointment. There is only one restaurant on site. Staff was very slow. One would have to wait quite long to... more

I went to Rancho on my honeymoon from May 24-30... we had an absolutely PERFECT honeymoon and truly enjoyed our stay there. Initial thoughts were that the security was great - they check who comes in and out of the resort and all guests have to wear a wrist band to indicate that they belong with the resort. We got... more

You can’t go wrong with Rancho Banderas! My husband and I exchanged our timeshare through Interval International, and we are glad we did. This was a first rate property that is excellent for friends, families, or just the two of you. Getting there: The location can’t be beat if you want to get away from it all. Rancho Banderas is... more
