“Paradise on earth” Thank you for making my vacation such a great time. Congrats for the wonderful unit you offer. I really felt like at home, nothing's missing. The staff is so friendly and attentive.The view from the 26th floor is amazing. I will return soon!

“Everything and more when you are looking only for the best!” Upon my first communication with the Puerto Vallarta Beach Club I could tell I was dealing with a different level of service. To start, my emails and countless phone calls were addressed quickly and efficiently. The pre-planning and preparation for my arrival by the staff was addressed with the upmost care, promptness and without hesitation. I honestly felt no request was too small. Could this be for real? Yes, and read on to find out why I have so much to say about this property. With my arrival expectations were high. Immediately I was warmly greeted by the Head Houseman and much of the staff. I was then given the option to a welcoming drink by the pool or to start off with a tour of the property. I opted for both and was amazed at the lush vegetation, pristine pool, and well maintained property - all of which, obviously, have never been neglected or unattended too. I can say, during the week I was there I never even found a scuff mark on a wall. The numerous staff always greeted us personally and their eagerness to make sure we had what we needed made us wish we never had to leave. Included were our personal chefs to cook every meal to our specifications (dietary restrictions with some guests). Laundry was washed, ironed and promptly returned at the end of day. The housekeepers didn't miss a spot. The pool side attendants were on hand to make any drink requested or notify the chef if we were ready for a snack. The concierge was always eager to schedule any events or spa treatments we needed that day or the next. Truly, the staff is well trained and enjoys providing the level of service that they do. The Puerto Vallarta Beach Club exceeded my expectations and I have already secured dates to return.

“5-star experience” Due to booking error, we had the opportunity to stay in two condo in this building. The floor plans are mirror image of each other. One is on the 8th floor, on is on the 12th floor. This review is for unit 8a. We stay in this beautiful condo in last week (Oct 2013). It's a 4-bedroom 4 bathroom condo and it's very spacious. There are wraparound balconies. The exterior walls are all sliding floor to ceiling glass doors and when they are all opened you are like connected to the outdoor. The view is amazing. The ocean is right in front of you without anything blocking you. The breeze cools the place really well. We didn't turn the a/c on in the living room at all, and only turn the bedrooms a/c on for a couple of nights, even though I'm sure it will be fine without a/c on. The kitchen is huge and you can prepare your food. The building is very secured and the staff is amazing, and very friendly. The pool is very big and we enjoyed lounging by the pool, read a book, go for a dip now and then. It's very relaxing. If you like to swim in the ocean, just step outside the gate and there you are. The property has designated lounge chairs and umbrella for you to use. There are also no vendors to bother you which is a big plus. The location is great too. Few $ taxi ride and you will be in old town or romantic zone. It's also walking distant to a supermarket, and slightly farther there is a walmart, sams club and a decent mall. The owner Chris and the manager Oswaldo are both very nice and accommodating. I asked if they have any champagne glasses in the condo and they bought 3 set (12 glasses) for us to use. They were also flexible with my early check in and late check out requests. Since it was low season and there were no customers immediately before and after our stay, they were ok with that which made life much easier. Overall it's a wonderful experience.

“Wow!!” Casa Marfil is a classic, beautiful, old Mexican townhome with tons of charm. It is on four levels, with the main living level on the third floor and an awesome patio/palapa on the very top level. The views from the living and patio areas are wonderful - I spent most of my time on the 3rd floor balcony where I saw many iguanas and tropical birds (bring your binoculars!). Casa Marfil is on the edge of Gringo Gulch and in a safe neighborhood. Because of Casa Marfil's central location, we didn't rent a car - we walked everywhere - to the beach, the Malecon, many excellent restaurants (Red Cabbage, Fredy's Tucan, etc), and to the water taxis off the new Pier. After a long day at the beach and/or exploring, it was always sooo nice to come home to Casa Marfil! Thanks so much Sherryl!

“very private pool home” from the first day communication was there with norma and memo and owners lionel and Darwin-thank you. very private- great view of the bay-close to everything-very prompt on any questions but you never see them unless you wanted to. perfect for just wife and I but large enough for two couples. lots of room for a two bedroom home. very clean and lots of both pool and bath towels. we have stayed in homes in pv for the past several years and this is first review we have written- very impressed!

“Beautiful Condo with amazing View of the Ocean - We will be back” This was the first time we rented a condo instead of staying at a hotel. Ian, the owner, is very responsive and super helpful in making your stay as best as it can be. We stayed here for a week and we are already talking about the next time we are coming back. The condo is furnished beautifully, very modern, and very comfortable. It's located right on the beach - the beach is literally a few step away. The condo is stocked with everything you need - towels, kitchen supplies, washer and dryer, and everything else you need to make you feel at home. The location is great - lots of restaurants nearby and a convenience store close by as well. A bigger grocery store is about a 5 min cab drive - we ended up stocking up here for a week and made a lot of yummy breakfasts and lunch. Not only did this save us a lot of money, we enjoyed using local ingredients to make our meals. We ate all our meals on the balcony overlooking the ocean. We spent a lot of lazy days at the pool - the infinity pool is really nice and there were plenty of lounge chairs to relax and kick back. Everything about renting this condo was so easy. Ian, the owner was very helpful in every way and answered all my questions, no matter how small or trivial :). Alex, the manager, met us at arrival and gave us the overview of the condo and also gave us good tips of local restaurants. We are already talking about coming back here. It really is a very special place. One tip - cab drivers never knew where the condo was so it's easier to say it's near the hotel "Villa Varadero."

“tranquil luxury with a view that lasts forever” my wife and I wanted to stay in the Amapas, Conchas Chinas area to compare staying in the romantic zone yet we wanted to stay within a 15 min walking distance to the romantic zone..... We booked a week at casa de la hoja at a peak time of the season dec. 15-21 and just loved it !!!!....it is a villa with a home environment, everything is amazing: the living room with a picture view of the bay, the deck with the view that lasts forever, two master bedrooms suites so comfortable and both with views of Banderas bay that greet you each morning. The kitchen was equipped with everything for dining at home...so we cooked for several nights and most breakfasts all with amazing views! ....we shopped at Mikey's and the local fish market and made the best meals in PV...this was very special for us! each day we also spent time at the private pool....I think you get the picture.... the walk to town and the beach(romantic zone is about 15 min) so wear good shoes and enjoy the walk. We loved the healthy element of our walks. we took quick inexpensive cab rides back at night and/or with groceries.... Norma and Memo are on premise to take care of anything you need. Staying at Casa De La Hoja made our Puerta Vallarta time an EXPERIENCE thank you Lionel for your help in making this happen. Rob and Sharon Scherer, Sacramento, calif.
