Casa Melissa is for those who want to get away from it all, to relax in luxury surrounded by the natural beauty of the Mexican Riviera.
During the day watch whales, dolphins and rays pass below as you enjoy a drink on the terrace or relax in the pool. In the evening the sunsets are breathtaking! Casa Melissa is tropical Mexico as you dreamed it would be.
All bedrooms have ocean views and remote controlled air-conditioning. All rooms (except one bathroom) have ocean views and ceiling fans. There is a whole house water purification system, maid service Monday through Saturday and a restaurant trained cook to prepare dinner Monday through Friday evenings. The staff will even grocery shop for you before you arrive - you just pay for the groceries! All those things make your stay at Casa Melissa a true vacation.
Whales migrate between October and February. See them from the terrace or get close-up on a boat in the Bay of Banderas.
As a nature lover you can enjoy tropical birds flying by or go on a bird watching tour. Observe iguanas, geckos, tajones or tour the turtle nursery and help release the baby turtles into the ocean. Ocean kayaking, snorkeling and hiking in the palm jungle or walking on the mile long sandy beach are the best ways to enjoy the tropical environment.

Hello Melissa, I was up to send you a mail to tell you how we have a great time in your house. We love San Pancho and your house is absolutly perfect. Isabel & Yeyo are super too. In fact we went to El Cafe Del Mar two days ago, and to tell you the story - we heard of San Pancho because last year I worked on a movie in Belgium with the brother of Bruno (the owner of Cafe Del Mar). We were looking for a nice place with no tourists and Tom told me we should go to San Pancho. And this place of Mexico is really fantastic.

We had a wonderful week at Casa Melissa. You have a beautiful home. Our 14 year old said it best when he said, “Wow, it looks like people really live here.” I am sure your kids found Casa Melissa to be a wonderful home to go to on vacation. Many great memories I’m sure. Also, San Pancho is a wonderful place. The number of wonderful restaurants’ is amazing for a small town. This was our second trip there since April. We really enjoy the slower pace as an alternative to our normal lives in Kansas. Thank you again for sharing your home. 12/8/08

Melissa, Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had at Casa Melissa. We really just wanted to stay. It was more than we expected, so our vacation will be a truly memorable one. All that you told me was just what it was. The meals cooked for us were outstanding and Isabel and Yeyo are gems. I hope that we can return and will recommend you and your casa to anyone. Thanks again, Charlotte and all

Best vacation site ever!, April 16, 2008 By Michael Eaton (Maryland, USA) Stayed at Casa Melissa for a birthday vacation with three couples. The view, pool, house and stay were beyond expectations! All were transfixed by the property and never doubted that this vacation would live with us forever. Great food, helpful staff and faithful communication before the trip made for a near flawless experience.

Hello Melissa, Happy Easter!! We are home after a wonderful week at your beautiful Casa Melissa. This was our 5th trip to San Pancho, and by far our favorite house! It was very comfortable and the view is beautiful.

Good morning. We are back in California, sad, that we had to leave your beautiful home. I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip. I think I told you we have been to San Pancho a few times before, but your place was the best! We just about lived in the pool. We look forward to booking again early 2009 and will do this once I nail down a week with our family.
