Casa Guacamole: Magical Open-Air Hacienda with Million Dollar Ocean Views

Usually I am not lacking of words, however every previous review has described this most beautiful, unique, ethnically charming, local hacienda so vividly, that it is difficult for me to add some new details! This was my first visit to Pacific side of Mexico and Puerto Vallarta. I really did not expect this visit to be more relaxing and enjoyable than the Caribbean side. Yet, all I can say is WOW! The charm of the casa in the heart of town, uphill from Our Lady of Guadalupe is more than I ever expected. No, the photos do not give justice to the completely open air casa including the kitchen! The hills and steps at first were difficult for me, but by the end of the week, I loved walking everywhere around town! Had I returned to a resort (on the eastern coast) I would have only sat and lie all week never walking about town or doing anything different and adventurous! The pool is an added bonus that usually I do not like swimming, but it was sheer pleasure and relaxation to dip in the pool and sit poolside to read or just stare at the views when I did not want to leave the casa! I never closed my windows in my bedroom either; no bugs whatsoever! The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful and more than adequate. The sitting rooms and dining rooms are very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Every detail was intentional and not one missed! Erika and Carolina are very sweet, great chefs and more than agreeable to please you in every way. GREAT JOB CASA GUACAMOLE!

Love love love! From the moment I stepped in, I knew I didn't want to leave. The entire house is impeccably decorated, and has everything you could ever want/need. The views from each floor are amazing and I loved waking up each morning to the open window breaze and the sun coming up above the water. I can't imagine staying anywhere else next time I visit puerto Vallarta with family. The two women who work there, Erika and Carolina, were so helpful and welcoming and made us feel right at home! Because we were in town it was easy to walk along the ocean and visit the great restaurants and bars in the area. As a young adult, i would not only love to return with family but would love to go back with my girlfriends. It's a great place for everyone to enjoy, relax, and explore!

Casa Guacamole sits high up on the hill from Our Lady of Guadalupe church, looking out over the ocean with exceptional views from all three floors. The casa has a beautiful open air floor plan with artistic Mexican flair and designer touches throughout. Flowers are everywhere throughout the house, the decks and around the pool. The owners thought of everything for a wonderful relaxing vacation, including wifi, info on restaurants and transportation, towels and beach bags for the beach, beautiful table settings for each meal, and Carolina and Erika who came in and cleaned everyday and fixed breakfast as well when asked. We slept in the penthouse at the top of the Casa where laying on the bed you are open to the ocean and the private deck. Amazing!!!! All of the bedrooms open out to the ocean with king sized beds and enough pillows for every guest's siesta. We would highly recommend this beautiful home!!!

Sitting above PV, above Bandaras Bay, above Our Lady of Guadalupe, Casa Guacamole enchants its guests with a mirrored front door wearing a crown, referencing the crown cupola of Our Lady down the hill. What an entrance: expansive and filled with both light and dark , the interiors abut the pool, the sky and the bay. The outdoor dining room is surrounded by pots filled with flowers. It all flows together. Nothing looks off limits.

We slept in the penthouse at the tiptop of the Casa. I plopped down on the bed and took photographs of our view: the terrace with private sunbathing and dining space just steps from the bed, overlooking the city and bay. We never used the beautiful blackout draperies or folding glass doors. We didn't want to miss a minute of that view.

Carolina and Erika, our chefs, were engagingly present but not intrusive, preparing breakfast each morning and dinner the night we arrived. Meals were served on a beautiful table with colorful linens and place settings. The hosts have thought of everything: drink covers, coasters, even totes to take with you to hold your gear as you sightsee and shop, all sporting the CG logo. There are enough beach towels, warm throws, pillows for an afternoon nap for an army of guests.

The hosts provide a book that answers every question about wifi, restaurants, transportation, and sightseeing. Even if you never leave the place, the architecture, interiors and the views of Puerto Vallarta will make your trip to Casa Guacamole a trip to remember. Comfort and options define the CG experience. Go. Enjoy. Repeat.

Casa Guacamole sits on a cliff above Our Lady of Guadalupe in downtown Puerto Vallerta. The views of Bandaras Bay from this extraordinary property are stunning. The mansion takes full advantage of the breathtaking views from every open air space, window, and patio. A fine example of Mexican architecture, the Mansion houses high level furnishings and artwork. Also, it is minutes from the Malecon for family fun, restaurants, shopping, and night life. The well being of the clients is the owners' highest priority. Highly recommend.
