We visited Casa Salinas with our 2 and 3 year olds. Everything was perfect. The kids loved the pool and the environment of the villa was very safe. The kids wandered around the villa with no hesitations. We always felt comfortable and very safe. Juan was very accommodating and eager to please. Juan arranged for us to go fishing on two occasions. He packed snacks for us to take along. He also included some bread to feed the fishes. My kids fed the fish from the boat and saw many colorful fishes, it was an amazing experience for them. Rigo and Martha prepared excellent meals daily, it was a daily treat. The villa itself is an amazing property with lush flowers and plants with a spectacular view of the ocean. The room with the hut was my favorite. It was well lit and loved the ocean view. The rooms are kept clean daily by Abby. We had a wonderful vacation. It was truly paradise.

We are leaving beautiful Casa Salinas 1 in just a couple of hours. We have an absolutely incredible stay.The house is beautiful and was the perfect choice for our family. Casa Salinas 2 is lovely but better suited for couples. Casa Salinas 1 was perfect for all generations of the Cosgrove family. The icing on our trip was the incredible staff….who made us feel completely at home. Juan couldn’t have been more hospitable and helpful in arranging fishing and massages. Marta’s meals were incredible…..every night was a treat of Mexican cuisine. Starting the mornings with fresh fruit, juices, eggs, bacon etc….was a rare treat for people on the go. The guacamole and pico de gallo were phenomenal. I would be remiss in not mentioning how charmed we were by Rigo…..such a friendly face and terrific margaritas. He always had a smile on his face and did everything possible to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. Abby kept our rooms and the common areas spotless. Casa Salinas 1 is a magical get away. I should mention that we had an incredible show of the whales…… I will highly recommend this to my friends and would be happy to be a reference for anyone looking to stay at these lovely homes.

The week was absolutely fabulous. The staff was perfect. What else can I tell you? We loved every minute of it. The Casa worked out perfectly for our needs. We tried to think of some suggestions, but really couldn't. The laundry was perfect, the food was delicious. Juan arranged everything just the way we wanted it and when we wanted it. He recommended a perfect restaurant. Everyone, Juan, Marta, Hrigo (can't spell it) and Avi (not sure of her name) did what they did in such a wonderful way. Plenty to eat. Wonderful helping us adjust the meals for the children, Great snacks during the day. We would recommend your place to anyone. We don't do this every year and we like to try other places, but we may be back. It was just what we wanted and better than last January's place in the Turk's. If anyone ever wants to talk to us, feel free to give them our name. Only suggestion was a larger and louder TV, but that was from one of my sons. I don't care one bit. I think they wanted to watch the stock market, but I just as soon they didn't. Other than that..........let's see. The boat we took for snorkeling could have been bigger. It didn't have flippers, but then it turned out we really didn't need them. Thanks for everything!!!!

In every aspect our vacation experience at Casa Salinas exceeded our expectations. The villa was beautiful, with amazing views. As a collector, I particularly appreciated the art collection. The staff was outstanding, attentive without being intrusive. Our meals were five-star quality. And the few times we ate out, everyone agreed, "It isn't as good as the food at the villa!" The service was exceptional, from housekeeping to laundry; all of our needs were met. We loved the experience so much we are booking another trip. It is rare to find a vacation spot that can accommodate all ages with a seeming effortless ease. It was in every way a little piece of paradise! Looking forward to another trip

We would like to take this opportunity to express gratitude for the most fabulous trip at both Villas. Our experience was nothing but the best. The staff was beyond helpful and so willing to please. Juan is just the greatest manager as he makes everyone feel so welcome. The Villas are beautiful and so well maintained which is probably due to the great staff. Thanks again

Casa Salinas were both lovely: well decorated, interesting and innovative designs, and well kept. We appreciated the peace and privacy afforded by each room, as we traveled with all ages. From crying babies to partying grandmas, thanks to the homes’ design we found neither to be a disturbance to the others. Talk about clean! The pools were sparkling, the beach immaculate, the kitchens – spotless. The staff were the perfect balance of discreetly available. If we needed drinks or snacks, they seemed to appear immediately, yet, we were free to be ourselves and use the facilities without feeling supervised. Each of them: Juan, Rigo, Miguel, Ora and the kitchen staff were stellar. It was restaurant week in PV and we had looked forward to eating at a variety of restaurants, but the fare was so good at Casa Salinas, we couldn’t miss a meal at home. We ended up pretty much ditching all plans for dinner out. At the end of the week, our bill for groceries was very, very reasonable. We were quite pleased. Lastly, for anyone planning a wedding in Puerto Vallarta, here’s your chance for a platinum wedding. There are so many areas to entertain at these villas, that our wedding planner was able to pull off three completely separate and unique events: an intimate wedding ceremony at Casa Salinas I, a casual cocktail party on the beach and a dazzling reception at Casa Salinas II. Our breath was taken away from the moment the richly carved doors of Casa Salinas I opened on to the ceremony until the last maraca-shaking guest left the dance floor at Casa Salinas II.

I don't know if I have the words to describe the wonderful time my family & extended family had in Puerto Vallarta at Casa Salinas. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty by the staff there. The accommodations were just great and suited our needs perfectly. The meals were outstanding. All the adults were able to relax and pretend the "work force" in the States was just a minor annoyance. Our two little boys had a wonderful time in the pool and on the beach. It was just great that our chef prepared food that both boys were able to enjoy. Thank you also for seeing that the cake was ordered for Monday night. I checked with Juan as soon as we arrived and he assured me that it was taken care of….. and it was perfect. We were able to surprise Jeanette with a delicious cake. Please convey my thanks to all who made this "once in a life time dream vacation" come true. I have told many of my friends here at home how everything, from first contact with your service, the time spent in Puerto Vallarta, the boat outing and the Mexican fiesta was more than we expected. Thank you again.

I think "enjoyed" is an understatement! We were elated, ecstatic, and in heaven! We had the best week of our lives and the staff was top notch. The homes ARE beautiful, as is the location - but the staff enabled us all too truly relax. This is what we all needed! Thank you so much for your help arranging things. Everyone can't wait to come back, and we hope to in a year or two.
