About the host
Hosted by John Poole
I also have 3 luxury condominium properties in Puerto Vallarta and decided to add a luxury villa to the list. I partnered with Michael to purchase Villa Azalea and refresh this gorgeous riverfront destination in a protected natural area. We enjoy pickleball and just added 2 gorgeous (and shaded) pro pickleball courts.
