    We have stayed at Casa Paraiso several times and each stay was fantastic. The housekeeper, Trini and her staff, are so helpful with taxis, dinner recommendations and directions. You will have to go back more than once to experience all the great restaurants on her list. On different occasions, I have had to see a dentist and my wife has had to see a doctor. Trini made all the arrangements to great success. And her breakfasts on the terrace overlooking all of Puerta Vallarta and the bay is just “pinch me” wonderful. The beach, the Malacon, Friday night dance show, and shopping on Badilla is just a short walk down the hill. The swimming pool is always ready for a cool dip. We highly recommend Casa Paraiso. Like us, if you go once, you’ll go back again and again.

    Casa Paraiso is located in the hills directly above Puerto Vallarta with spectacular views of the Zone Romantica, Gringo Gulch, and the Bay. The villa is impeccably designed, with private a private balcony off each bedroom, and even has a secret garden. The surrounding plants, including orchids, are profuse. We fell into instant relaxation when we exited the taxi in front of the villa upon our arrival, and remained pretty much in that state until we hit customs in Denver on our return. The staff and the services provided were exceptional. For us, it was a World Class experience! We would change nothing. We will return.

    Great location and amazing views of Old Town! If I come back to PV with friends I will definitely stay here again. Walking distance from all the restaurants and beach, and the house had great amenities and was very spaciousand comfortable. Everything was pristine- and was a great deal in the summer! The maids were great and very helpful- we didn't even have to go out and buy our own groceries!!! Definitely a great stay- and this place is not to be missed!!

    This was my dream home and my dream vacation. Located high above the city of Puerto Vallarta, but close enough to walk everywhere, with views that were breathtaking, night and day. The decor and the design of Casa Paraiso is perfect. I felt like I was living my dream and I guess I really was! There were just two of us and we roamed around from room to room, feeling like the King and Queen of the Villa and we were! With breakfast overlooking the water daily; Cocktails in our private pool overlooking the city; Yummy dinners cooked by Triny and amazing nearby restaurants, tequilia bars and shops....and more shops...who could ask for anything more. We'll be back again next year, with friends and family!

    This is the perfect home if you want to be in the heart of the old town but still have the views and quality of a 5 star resort. Just a short 5 minute walk down the hill you will find all the restaurants and shopping you could want and the beach is just a 7-10 minute walk. The house is just high enough on the hill for fantastic views but not so high that you can’t walk the steep hill. (Although most times we paid the 40-50 pesos ($4-5 USD) to have a taxi drive us up.) There are however a lot of steps up to the house which were difficult with heavy luggage, but well worth the trip once you get to the top. The housekeeper, Trini is an absolute delight and willing to assist you with whatever you want: shopping, cooking, laundry, cleaning. You won’t even know she is there unless you need something as she goes out of her way to offer you privacy while she does her work. We highly recommend this wonderful home to anyone who is looking for the perfect location in beautiful Puerto Vallarta.

    We had such a good visit. I have already recommended Casa Paraiso to several of my friends and hope that I can get back there again. The house was beautiful with each bedroom seeming like a master suite. The views were just spectacular from every room. We lucked out finding Casa Paraiso! Thank you, Maria!

  • Our New Favorite Place to Stay

    In the 20 plus years of coming to Puerto Vallarta I have stayed in quite a few very nice villas in the Romantic Zone and have always been very pleased. For our recent visit I was disappointed to find that our usual favorite place was booked. It turned out that this disappointment was a great piece of luck because we discovered Casa Paraiso, by far the nicest place we have rented in Puerto Vallarta. This particular trip was with a group of friends and in planning the trip I was feeling the burden of responsibility in choosing a place that everyone would find pleasing. No worry here; I was the hero for my astounding judgment. Style, comfort, and location are always my top criteria when selecting a place to stay. Casa Paraiso is beautifully designed and nicely furnished and decorated. It is obvious that a lot of care went into the recent renovations. The expansive layout provides places to gather and socialize but one can always choose to retreat to a number of tranquil spaces. When we arrived there was no problem deciding who would get the good rooms and who would settle for the not-so-good rooms. All four rooms were "good" and each room had some feature that made it special. The location is good, just high enough up the hillside for beautiful views but low enough to make it an easy walk to and from the beach. A few late evenings we were lazy and took a taxi but mostly we walked. The staff is accommodating and mostly unobtrusive and all of our dealings with the owner, Maria, were very satisfactory. My initial email inquiry was almost immediately followed by a courtious phone call and all the arrangements were handled quickly and efficiently. We have already recommended Casa Paraiso to a number of friends and it is now our new favorite place to stay in Puerto Vallarta.

    The Casa was very well appointed with highend bed linens, beautiful art work & pottery, serving platters etc and was in great shape. The view of the city and the ocean were amazing. I loved being there the views and overall ambiance. A great PV vacation retreat.

    Wise choice! Sparley Atlanta, GA. Date Submitted: May 30, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008 We constantly congratulated each other on our good fortune at having stayed at Casa Paraiso! The home far exceeded our expectations and we all agreed that its even more beautiful than the pictures indicated. Each of the bedroom suites has features that makes it special and with so many living spaces and lush garden areas, there were plenty of places to escape (the housemates) and relax. Though it was my first trip to PV, I found it diffcult to tear myself away from the view to go exploring! Again, the pictures do not do it justice. There was a constant breeze that carried the sounds of church bells and Mariachi bands to our doorstep making my PV experience even more enjoyable. The location is ideal for the beach, restaurants and galleries...even one of the canopy tour operators is a short walk away. Vista Grill-one of PV's best restaurants-is just around the corner...don't miss it! Maria was a pleasure to work with and the staff was exceptional. Trini made some fantastic meals and knows how to mix a 'mean' margarita. There is no question that I'll try to return as soon as possible!

    Heaven on the hill, Casa Paraiso Tim M Atlanta, Georgia.Date Submitted: May 13, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008 Our experience in PV was greatly enhanced by our stay at Casa Paraiso. After spending 8 years of PV winter vacations at various Villas and Casas, my friends and I have found our home away from home, Casa Paraiso. We enjoyed our two week stay at the house so much that within one month of returning home to the States we had arranged our rental of Casa Paraiso for 2009's vacation. Friendly , personable staff ensured our comfort and the meals that were prepared for us were superb ( so much that we seldom found ourselves at a restaurant for evening dinners!!). Once you’ve experienced Casa Paraiso, you will be back

    Dream Vacation Samson Iowa. Date Submitted: August 07, 2007 Date of Stay: February 2007 For one whole week we lived in the lap of luxury at Casa Paraiso. It all started with being served fresh Margaritas when we arrived, then the next morning eating a delicious breakfast on the terrace while we enjoyed the view of the bay. When we wanted solitude we could enjoy our own private balcony or find a bench in the gardens. We enjoyed walking to the beach and browsing in the many shops and galleries. We are looking forward to going back for another dream vacation in 2008
