I can't say enough to describe my experience at Azul Profundo. What a lovely place. When we first entered we couldn't believe what was in front of us. I have never seen such a creative way of building a house. All open with the ocean there in front of the living room and the pool. The bedrooms were also incredible with a great view of Los Arcos. But the best was the staff. Roger and Margarita delighted us with their charisma and sense of humor. And the food... OMG the chef is gorgeous, she prepared 2 outstanding meals every day. Combined with Roger's drinks makes the perfect combination. You really want to spend most of your time at the villa during your stay. Everything you need is there... Thanks Simon, we'll be there again soon!

We had a WONDERFUL time at Villa Azul Profundo! It was the wedding that we've always dreamed of.  The villa had a perfect layout for our reception and the staff couldn't have been more wonderful.  Roger left no stone unturned and helped make our stay amazingly carefree.  Jorge and Laura were also so helpful to us and our guests. We are already dreaming of coming back, this time to just relax by the pool and sip Pina Coladas...Roger makes the best! Thank you as well for being such a valuable resource to us in planning our trip and wedding. You were such a pleasure to work with. Please give the staff our best...we miss them already.

Beautiful Villa, Better than the Pictures, Excellent Service

Villa Azul Profundo is a taste of heaven! Even prettier than the pictures and an amazing place to stay. We've been at some spectacular villas but this was our favorite so far because it was huge, beautiful and clean/new. When you walk in, you look straight out to ocean. The view from every room is magnificent. It is right in front of Los Arcos, the famous landmark of Puerto Vallarta. Food was SO good and beautifully displayed. Helpers went out of their way to take care of us, setting up snorkeling for a GREAT deal and walking us down to the beach (a 5-8 minute walk). On beach there are stalls to shop, small restaurants, boats for touring/snorkeling. Mismaloya is a ways from downtown (Viejo Vallarta). But buses run right in front of villa to downtown and take only about 15 minutes to get there. A special thank you to Roger who was a fabulous host.

Almost too good for me to write a review...

I use that title because if I really let people know how awesome this place was/is, then too many people might take advantage of it and crowd me out of future stays, haha! I had HUGE expectations for this place, and I was blown away by my experience. The pictures cannot do the place justice, and so immediately you are pleased with choosing this place. Then the unexpected items like the sound of the ocean crashing below and the incredibly personable and helpful staff too things to an ethereal level. Although I am usually excited about all of the new places (compared with those already visited) I would like to travel, I undoubtedly will return to this exact place, and the sentiment was shared amongst all of my friends.

Our experience at this unique villa was one of great memories. The villa itself is set up with beautiful Ocean front views from all rooms. The bedroom suites were equipped with large closets, extra blankets and fresh towels. The large living area, the fully equipped kitchen and dining room are well set up and very comfortable, all very tastefully decorated. The infinity pool was fabulous and we used it everyday. I do recommend that you opt for having it heated as during our stay the sun didn't hit the pool till 1pm. The top deck above the barbeque area was great for sunning as it received the sun around 10 am. The open air concept of the living areas were wonderful, nice fresh ocean air. The villa itself is shaded and the house temp was very comfortable, we did not need the a/c at all during our stay, yet the temp outside ranged from 25 C to 30 C . The location was excellent , a short walk to Mismaloya beach and very accessible to Puerta Vallarta by bus or taxi.&nbs p;The serene beauty and peacefulness of the area was perfect. The sound of the ocean waves crashing on the rocks was very soothing, if you are a light sleeper I would recommend bringing earplugs as the waves can be heard all night long and are quite loud when the ocean is rough, I had no problems with the sound I slept very well but a couple people in our group could not sleep because of it (until they got earplugs). The villa has a menu of specialties for all meals and snacks that Lara will cook which helped us pick what we ate. We discussed with Roger what items we required for drinks, snacks and meals and he and Lara made sure we were fully stocked. They made trips to the grocery store for us every few days to make sure our food was always fresh. During our stay we experienced seeing whales, dolphins, stingrays, lizards, iguana's, pelicans, turkey vulchers, crabs, gechos, numerous other birds, and all kinds of fish all from the patio area overlooking the ocean. It was truly incredible. Last but by far not the least the staff were unbelievable. Roger is truly dedicated to making sure your every need is met. Everyday Roger made sure we had what ever we needed for the day and would go out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. I cannot say enough about Roger as he made our stay truly excellent. I highly recommend staying at Casa Azul Profundo as it was a great vacation in a truly unique peaceful house. Larry Schlosser Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada

Simon, we had an absolutely wonderful, perfect, and joyous time at your home. When we first walked in through the front door, one of the girls said, "This is the lobby, right?" At that point, Roger gave us a tour of the villa - with our jaws dropping with each room we went into and around every corner of the tour. The weather was perfect - it did not rain one drop while we were there. Jorge came by every day to keep the pool in clear, pristine condition. As far as Roger is concerned, I can not speak highly enough of how wonderful he is. That man has the charm, graciousness, and sense of genuine care that one usually only experiences in the world's best hotels or resorts. I must tell you that the two single girls wanted to take him back to the U.S. with them! Hell, I think my wife would if she could get away with it! Chuy was very clear and communicative on what the expenses for the food and beverages were, and she fed us excellent meals and snacks. Margarita was more behind the scenes, so to speak, because she was there to clean up the villa while we were out, but she did an excellent job and her attention to detail did not go unnoticed by any of us. All in all, we all agreed that we had one of the best vacations we ever experienced, and that is saying a lot Attached are some photos I took that you are free to use on your website. Also, you are welcome to take my sincere statements above and post them on your website. Thank you so much, Simon, for allowing us to stay at the villa - we really all felt that we were being hosted in the home of a close friend - that's how fun and comfortable it was. Kirk
