Fantastic, Amazing!!

Review submitted: October 18, 2012   Date of arrival: April 27, 2012

This home was the centerpiece of one of the nicest vacations I've ever taken... and I travel the world for my job. The pictures on this website DO NOT do this villa justice. The views took my breath away as soon as we walked in the door. The dramatic, sweeping views of the ocean from all 3 floors; the enormous terrace; private pool and lovely, lovely bedrooms and baths, all built around this amazing four story tall, exquisite tree - - were a joy to wake up and go to sleep to every day. It was at once modern, with traditional Mexican touches... But by far, the best part of this villa is the staff. Breakfast and dinner to order, Marilu's pancakes!! The freshest ceviche every afternoon... they all go above and beyond, warm, generous and helpful to everyone from 8 month old to my 85 year old mother... totally delightful. For 8 days we sat around, swam, talked, laughed, watched spectacular sunsets and felt totally at home in this space. It was so relaxing, we only walked into town twice. Who needed to leave... it was perfect. Just truly one of the lovliest holidays I've ever had. I'm almost tempted to write a bad review so it won't be overbooked the next time we want to go - - and there will be a next time!!!

I Love Casa Tres Coronitas

Review submitted: October 18, 2012   Date of arrival: April 5, 2012

I've been coming to this house for 15 years now and have been at least 15 times. It rocks. Ufracio, the house boy has been with the house since 1973 and is a delight to interact with. He's the "go-to" guy for anything you need down there. Mary Lou is a fantastic cook and I normally do not go out to restaurants when I am down there because i love her cooking so much, there is no reason to leave. The house has a killer layout, is in a lovely neighborhood and it's always fun to see the various lizards etc that wander around the grounds. I highly recommend going there for a long weekend. so close to home in Los Angeles, yet so far.

Heaven in Old Mexico

Review submitted: October 18, 2012   Date of arrival: September 29, 2012

One of the most beautiful homes ever, on a jungle hillside overlooking the Bay of Banderas — not just some of the bay, ALL OF IT. And a short stroll from the romantic cobblestone streets of old Puerto Vallarta. And the staff is like family — warm, gracious, attentive and genuine. If you want a Cabo-style all inclusive with faceless help, this is not for you. But if you want to experience balmy, tropical, Spanish colonial Mexico in all its glory, you can do no better.
