It's a nice enough place - decent rooms, great view, mostly very friendly staff. But it is far from \"a tranquil oasis\", as it promises. The pool area has dance music blasting from midday onwards (which we could hear from inside our room on the top floor), and very few lounge areas that aren't in direct sun - so you either sit in the extremely noisy restaurant or burn. Also, the restaurant and bar are not open past 6pm, contrary to what is advertised. Food and drinks were good though very, very slow. If you want a PV-style party place then you might enjoy it here - we didn't.

This hotel is in a great location. The views are stunning. The staff is friendly and the rooms are lovely. Max at the front desk went above and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable. He helped book reservations, taxis and massage. I would highly recommend Villa Aikia if you are planning a trip to Zipolite.

We loved staying here. The staff were amazing and the views are incredible. Our room (the Master Terrace room) had two king beds - one in a loft area. The1/2 bathroom in the loft area had a urinal/sink and no toilet. It worked for us, but had I been traveling with female friends, it wouldn't have been the best.
I'd definitely go back, but would opt for a different room with a group of women.

The hotel itself was nice. But their advertising was very misleading. When we arrived we were told the pool had been broken for \"several weeks\" but would be fixed within a day or two. It never got fixed. So no pools (they were both broken), no restaurant for dinner, no bar. We were never warned there was no pool or bar or restaurant until we arrived.

The staff were very nice and friendly, the room was fantastic, the food (for breakfast) was good but limited. It forced us to leave the hotel and do a 20 minute walk into town each day as the hotel had zero amenities. So we had to pay to go use pools in other hotels. Bought drinks at other places. Bought dinner at other places. Basically this hotel was nothing more than a room and a 20 minute walk from town and an hour walk from Playa D'amour.

I would recommend any of the other hotels closer into town, and do not book here unless you can confirm the amenities are working. Nothing worse than booking a hotel in Mexico and having a week of 35 degree weather and no pool to cool off in.

Very disappointed

Villa Aikia Zipolite offers very nice suites, a sprawling facility with pool, outdoor terraces, stunning views, yoga area, private beach, full service restaurant/bar and extremely professional, friendly and attentive staff! This place runs like a well oiled machine, offers room service and daily housekeeping. Being located directly on the ocean, it’s understandable that some features such as the pool tiles need to be redone, as the salt in the air is hard on the tiles and surfaces in general, so yes the place may need a bit of a facelift here and there, but the hosts of the place more than make up for some needed TLC to the property. Hot water in Zipolite is not something to rely on in general, and the internet connection was hit or miss. We stayed in suite 2, and loved it. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful stay! We will be back! Pablo was the best!

Rosanna, our restaurant server, was fantastic, ensuring we had everything we needed, and Pablo, our housekeeper, kept our room impeccably clean, and such a warm personality!
The rooms are very large, providing ample space to relax, and the ocean views are simply stunning. Everyone on the staff is warm and welcoming, creating a home-away-from-home atmosphere, without a lot of extra fuss.
Our favorite unit is number two, and this is our second time staying here. We hope to come back for a third visit soon

We have been to this property several times in the last few years and we absolutely love the staff, especially the front desk. The cleaners, the waiters are all outstanding giving you the best service possible. The rooms are so well appointed and very clean and they look after you very well with fresh water each day and clean towels. The views from the edge of the property over the ocean with the islands and rocks is absolutely breathtaking and astounding and it is the reason we come back. Unfortunately, this year the pool in a 1 year's time frame is completely dilapidated with half of the tiles and glass beads on the floor broken and scattered around the base of the pool. It is starting to rust out in many locations and looks completely terrible as well as being dangerous that you can cut your feet on the broken glass circular tiles. This has to be fixed because it's just not relaxing as you were tiptoeing around, making sure you don't step on a sliced broken piece of glass tile to cut your foot open or safe at this time and it needs to be emptied and completely redone and preferably not with tiles if this can happen in one year's time because it was in perfect condition last October. We wouldn't book this property again if the pool is in this condition, but we want to return here so we will call back next year and see if it has been repaired before we book this amazing property.

Vue incroyable

Un beau complexe , sur plusieurs niveaux. Nous avions la chambre panoramique toujours très propre, avec une vue incroyable sur la Mer . Mais , il faut savoir que c’est la seul chambre qui n’a pas d’air conditionné, ce qui la rends un peu inconfortable avec des temperatures de 30 degrés celcius . Pour la piscine, malheureusement celle ci n’est pas de qualitée acceptable . L’eau est brouillée et la céramique ce défait en quantité importante , des centaines de carrés tranchants de céramique ce déposent dans le fond de la piscine donc à risque de se couper les pieds ou briser les costumes de bains . Le personnel , de chambre Paolo et spécifiquement Max à la réception sont très serviables , disponibles et accueillants . Ce magnifique site donne accès à une petite plage plus intime, malheureusement la Villa Aikia contrairement à la villa Casa Sol ne prévoit aucune chaise ou parasol pour ces visiteurs. Un service qui serait tellement apprécié et facile à organiser en duo avec Casa Sol.

I could not rave about this property, staff and overall experience more. It was heaven on top of a hill with stunning beach views from my room and complete peace above the beautiful town of Zipolite. To be able to go have a fun day down on the beach either relaxing or filled with local activities and then retreat up to the Aikia was a dream. Waking up and having coffee and breakfast in this oasis with those views I could do every day.

Stylish place, Beautiful view,

Villa Aikido is a great place. Beautiful apartments with well laid out balconies that offer amazing view of the ocean. The rooms are very comfortable, stylish and spacious. The restaurant offered a solid selection of food. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

There are two beach coves below the hotel with only hotel access that were a gem. It seemed that we had these tow beaches to ourselves.

There is also a short cut to get to the main part of Zipolite. Very helpful information. The first day we walked the long way.

We chose this place because of it being clothing-optional, but no one was nude, except our party of three. That was a bit disappointing. But visiting other nude friendly hotels, it was the same. I was told that it's because that the summer is not peak season.

I definitely recommend this place. Beautiful!

The property was beautiful and well appointed. The room was very nice but the bathroom didn’t offer much privacy - transparent glass door (some privacy paint blocks) that didn’t even close all the way. The restaurant and the view is very nice, however it does close relatively early in the evening. We were there on a Friday evening and we were alone at the restaurant surprisingly. We barely heard a soul after 8 pm. So the place is very quiet if that’s your thing but we found it very boring. It has its own private beach but it’s not very nice since there were a bunch of tiny crabs. It’s too far from Zipolite beach for a quick walk or bar visit, you have to pack for a day trip, which we did, but then we’re worried about watching our belongings like a hawk when we went in the water. We ended up finding another hotel on Zipolite beach that was more our speed. A lot of night life on the beach which you don’t find near this hotel. Good for a family or business trip or quiet couple, but I think most couples would enjoy staying right in Zipolite.

Great place to stay if you are going to Zipolite. It’s further away from the other hotels on the beach so you’ll have to walk a bit but it’s a very enjoyable walk. No bad view from any of the rooms which are cleaned daily. The best part without a doubt is the staff, they make you feel like you’re staying with family.

The property is just great, the rooms are spacious and so comfortable. The pool area is so relaxing and Alma at the bar is very attentive. Only downside is the area just survived a hurricane so there’s a lot of reconstruction happening in the property itself and areas around, which can be a problem because of the noise and appearance of certain areas. Keep in mind that this property is not on a main road so you will need transportation to get around and it can be difficult to get a taxi at times. Other than that the place is a good option.

Stay was good overall. Loved the views and the peace away from town, but also so close. The biggest thing that bugged me was the internet was terrible.

The other thing that felt discordant was the decor. The hotel suffers from an identity crisis with respect to its colors and decorations. There's a difference between being colorful, and using every single color that you can find. The latter leads to creating a chaotic visual experience, which is counter to the goals of the hotel.

There are so many cultural referents with contemporary Mexican sculptures, geometric sculptures, Buddha statues, Mexican folk art-- it's too busy thematically. Less is more. It feels like a sculpture graveyard.

Another thing I mention as a landscape designer, from an aesthetic and practical perspective. Their pool has a major design flaw. The pool is covered in small square waterline tiles, unfortunately the pool also has curved edges, which means that these tiles are popping off everywhere. Honestly, I'd recommend they redo the entire pool lining because the repairs look bad. This is the centerpiece of the main terrace so it could be costly.

It's the sort of image you put on a postcard

I've stayed at Villa Aikia a couple times over the last few months and every time I check-in it takes me about a half hour to get used to how spectacular the view is. It's just...a lot. There's a little semi-private beach below, a giant outcropping of rock guarded by a flock of birds just slightly offshore, cobalt blue waves lapping the beach, and just so much more beauty than you can reasonably expect at once. You might need to take a break afterward. It's the sort of image you put on a postcard -- the sort of thing that makes you wonder what good things you did in a past life to end up here.

Setting the view aside, though, this place would be excellent even if that view were instead a blank concrete wall. There are a couple lovely semi-shaded pools, a wonderful little hotel bar, a yoga studio, and your room also has hot water in its shower (which is, if you're not familiar with the area, not common).

There's only one downside that I can think of: it's a little bit of an uphill hike from town. It's nothing strenuous or far -- just a five or ten minute walk from the main street -- but it's definitely not right on the main beach like many of the other hotels and hostels. That being said: that little bit of distance gives you a level of privacy and serenity that you won't find in the more crowded areas. That's a trade-off that's definitely worth it in my book.

Loved It!

My friend and I stayed at Villa Aikia in November 2021. What a beautiful place! The design is well thought out, from the room, common spaces, yoga area and private little beach, all the details were perfect.

The ocean is very present with stunning views from all over the property. Interesting art fills every space. The views and sea breeze in the yoga area made it an ideal spot to start the morning. The small beach can be accessed by taking the stone steps that lead down from the property. The room was spacious, modern and clean, with comfortable beds and a big balcony.

The food was delicious and fresh, we had great breakfasts and lunches. The staff was friendly and Christina was very helpful with arranging taxi’s and our COVID tests, which were conveniently done at the property.

Zipolite is a short walk from the hotel. The easy access to town was convenient for exploring and going for dinner in the evenings.

Great spot - quiet, comfortable and clean

Rooms are amazing - modern, clean, spacious and stylish. We got a room with private balcony that had a hammock and 2 chairs. The view to the ocean was great too - we could actually see the ocean from our bed! But it seems like not all the rooms get the same view. They have a private beach but very rocky so not really good for tanning or getting in the water. Pool was great too - although not too big. Some of the pool area furniture is a bit random - some plastic chairs, some plastic tables in random colors/styles/sizes. If they straighten that out and achieve a more cohesive look like the rooms, it would be great. Other than that, the service was great, food was pretty good too, and pretty quiet! I stayed for 2 days, and wasn’t ready to leave.
