  We could not believe this home when we got there it was so much more than even expected. It has all the old world charm and all the new world amenities. I could go on forever this was a dream come true. We could walk to everything a very short distance away. There is so much room and 3 floors to this dream home with a view you can't imagine.

  Hi Trish and Gail,
  
  Please remember that I offer 15% discounts on all returning guests so please do come back and stay in beautiful Puerto Vallarta at Casa Marfil.
  
  We do our very best to make sure our guests are well taken care of, often stocking the fridge with favorite items before you arrive, especially if your date of arrival falls on a holiday, but even if you would like some things on hand upon your arrival. Nothing is too great or small!
  
  Looking forward to your return visit!!
  
  Sincerely,
  Sherryl
