Casa Daphne is a wonderful place to stay! Check in with Mavy was simple and easy. This place is spotless, decorated extremely well and kitchen was stocked. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. This Romantic Zone place is everything you need and we were blissful our entire stay. Brian was very responsive and checked in with us to ensure all was well. Great location to restaurants and stores but private enough to provide us with the sanctuary we were looking for. Cannot speak highly enough of Casa Daphne. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
When we arrived, we were aware of the cleanliness of the unit. It is a wonderful and charming unit with an inviting patio to sit and relax in, while enjoying the life of the city around us. The pool was very nice. We really enjoyed ourselves while vacationing. The owner was very accommodating and informative.We will definitely return again!
Our stay was amazing and the place was clean, well located and well organized. The host was very helpful and was always ready to help. Thanks again Mark for a very enjoyable stay at your place!

Hola Stephan,
Gracias for the nice comments, glad you felt the condo is well organized, clean and to your expectations. You both of course are welcome back anytime and appreciate your communication as well!
Casa Daphne was perfect! Very tastefully updated and it had everything you need. Selva Romantica is a wonderful place. Very quiet. Will definitely stay here again!!!
This place is exactly as described. Great location within walking distance to everything (beach, shops, restaurants, pharmacy). We would definitely stay here again. There are some stairs to climb to get to the unit but not bad.
Thanks for everything!
A tastefully furnished condo with lots of Mexican charm, clean, well equipped and maintained. We we also very pleased with fast and reliable Internet. Both the host and on site manager are welcoming and quick to respond. Selva Romanica has the best location in town with walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the beach.
Great location and a lot of stairs. Our building didn’t have an elevator. This plus the humidity made for great cardio!! Right in the middle of it all. Highly recommend.

Thanks Steve for your comments and we are certainly glad you enjoyed your stay! Yes, the stairs exiting from the back of the complex can be a work-out but there is always the option to exit front the front of the complex and walk down the hill two blocks to the beach, restaurants and shops! Hope to have you back again and good luck on your search for a retirement home in Puerto Vallarta!

We could not be happier with our stay at Casa Daphne. Extremely well cared for, clean, and comfortable. The outdoor patio was perfect for morning coffee! We really liked having the French doors open at night and were able to enjoy the breeze. The location is truly minutes from the beach and restaurants. I highly recommend this property. Mark, the owner, could not have been more gracious! Thank you, we will be staying again.
We loves our stay at Mark's condo, everything was as promised, his communication with us was fantastic and timely. He has a property Manager who meet us at the building which was really helpful, Mavy is a keeper. She was our go to person and was incredible helpful. We are already talking about returning to this property very clean, safe and lovely. Love the pool and small gym area too. You will love your stay here, walking distance to everything, we loved it.
This property offers everything you could possibly need during your stay in Puerto Vallarta. The owners really considered everything- from toiletries you may have forgotten to anything you may need in the kitchen or laundry room- it’s there for you.
When we mentioned we were foodies, Mark went above and beyond and gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants and turned us on to the fact that it was Restaurant Week in Puerto Vallarta- what luck!
Great property- great owner!

Gracias Jennifer! Future guests, take note, pack light as there is a washer and dryer with all you need, a fully equipped kitchen to cook if you like and all the other amenities of a great hotel in the privacy of our own space!
Jennifer, you are welcome back any time, gracias for choosing Casa Daphne and we hope to have you back in the future.

Thanks Mark for sharing your lovely home at Selva Romántica. We appreciated the quality, luxury, style, and thoughtfulness of everything at Casa Daphne - it was a super comfortable relaxing stay. The apartment is situated ideally in quieter, private corner of building for green lushness, birds, nice cross breezes and morning sun, but so close to the ‘Zone’ for dining, shopping, and yes, some nighttime PV action. We loved dining on the balcony mornings and evenings. Two flights of steps up to beautiful pool, and two flights down to the street. Favourite bakery right around the corner. Just bring clothes and unpack, Mark has absolutely everything else covered, and I mean everything. Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed!

Gracias Peter for the kind words and we are happy to hear you had a wonderful stay! Our continued goal is to provide all the amenities for a home away from home experience in a treehouse like setting. We hope to have you both back in the future!
The apartment is great and a very nice place to stay. Unfortunately let down by loud club music at night. I stayed Monday to Friday and there was loud music until about 2am every night. Hard to sleep, even with ear plugs.

Thanks Greg again for your feedback and my happy to hear that you thought the condo was great. My apologies that you found the noise level experience uncomfortable as that is not the norm or as others have experienced recently or the past. Given the nightlife of the Romantic Zona has just recently started back, I’m confident that it will not be an issue given there is a noise level ordinance in place in town that is being enforced by local residents and the community. We welcome you back any time!
We had such a wonderful stay at Los Mango #5!!! Our condo honestly was perfect! The bed was sooo comfortable (this is a rare thing) !!! The condo was far enough away from the noise and nightlife.. yet close enough to enjoy Old Town Puerto Vallarta.. all the essentials plus plenty of extras! I can tell you we have rented other condos and this is by far the best.. Thank you Mavy for your help checking in and for all your kindness while we were staying. She’s a gem!! Blessings to the owner for all the attention to detail which made it so special!!

Beautiful, amazing property in the heart of Zona Romantica
I highly recommend staying at this beautiful villa. First off, Mark is an amazing host. I kept wanting to extend my stay which he was extremely flexible with. He was communicative and prompt. The check-in and our process was seamless. The villa is gorgeous and has everything you could need l: washer dryer, high speed internet, gym, the most comfortable bed and linens with and a full kitchen. The infinity pool is breath taking with amazing views. The property manager is extremely friendly, prompt and made the whole process extremely easy. Also, the grounds are gated and extremely safe and secure. I would definitely stay here next time I’m in PV.

Michael,
Thank you for the kind words and I'm so happy your expectations were exceeded and found the condo and complex to have everything you anticipated. I certainly appreciate your communication as well and that you took such great care of Casa Daphne. You are welcome back anytime! Gracias
Such a charming place and so well appointed, and such beautiful tile floors.
So much light with all the windows and doors that open up. The patio was lovely too... we had heard lots of really nice things about the bed, honestly it was a savior. We were very ill for 3 days and could hardly get out of bed and it was so comfortable and the fact that we could black out the rest of the world really made it better.
Surprised at all the little details, the hand vacuum, the lint roller, iron and ironing board, the wave sound machine near the bed, tons of hangers ( which I never see) just a lot of really nice little touches.
So great to have the washer and dryer too.
We didn't cook at home but the kitchen looked like it had everything.
The hot tub was being repaired while we were there so we weren't able use it but other than than it was really perfect.
Just lovely and a great location

Jack,
Thanks for your feedback and I'm so happy that you enjoyed your stay! My apologies on the out of order hot tub as it was an unexpected malfunction at an unfortunate time. So glad you enjoyed the little touches to make your stay more pleasurable and to make you feel at home in Puerto Vallarta! Hope to have you and Sherry back soon!
Saludos,
Mark
The unit was very well equipped. It came with the conveniences of home. Given we had a washer and dryer we could have packed 30% less clothing. The property pool area, gym and gardens were a nice to have and were excellent. Also the property is gated with security personnel so we felts extra safe
The property is central to all that the romantic zone offers. So bars, restaurants, banks, stores, beach and the malecon were easy walking distance. The bars can be lively at night but between the noise machine in the unit and ac it was not an issue. A suggestion is to bring ear plugs if someone feels they are more sensitive to music. This is not a slight on the unit or the property, it is just the reality of being in an active, central location.
Overall, the experience was great!!! The people within the complex were friendly. Many were repeat visitors who openly provided tips regarding things to do, what and where to find the favorite or popular restaurants, bars, markets etc. Also Mavy the property manager was excellent to deal with and was attentive to our needs and or questions. She also ordered the taxi for our departure and was good to communicate via WhatsApp, text or phone.
We would definitely recommend this unit and property
Natalie and Dennis
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The unit was very clean, towels fresh and fluffy, bed very comfortable, and the unit was well stocked with ie. paper towel and toilet paper so that you never had to worry about running out. The unit had filtered tap water that we trusted and drank without problems (they had testing results available). There is even a washer and dryer with detergent that proved useful on the day we had a large downpour and our clothes got wet. We didn't use the rooftop pool as we prefer the nearby beaches but the pool looked clean and convenient with plenty of lounge chairs.
Despite the multitude of construction in the city, we found the unit quiet. The unit also stayed cool and we never had to turn on the A/C during our stay. The TV's have HDMI connectors behind them that allowed us to hook up our laptops to watch our banked movies and TV shows on a rainy day which was a plus.
The location was particularly convenient and only a short walk to many of our favourite dining spots including Maria Baja (by far our favourite spot in all of PV for fresh seafood tacos), Fredy's Tucan for breakfast, Siam Cocina for wonderful Thai, and is literally across the street from a fantastic Bonito Cafe that features fresh baos, rice bowls, and rice paper rolls.
The only downside of the complex (not of the unit itself) is that one cannot invite friends/guests to the unit. This is fairly standard of most gated complexes in PV it would seem in order to protect the units from crime and noise. At one point we did have two friends who wanted to check out our unit during the daytime for a potential rental, but we did not feel like the guards would let them in and so had to turn them down. I suspect if we had messaged the complex managers they probably would have let us show the unit to our friends.
Mavy checked us in and out, and was wonderful and readily reachable by phone and text messaging. On our checkout day, our flight didn't leave until mid evening and Mavy went out of her way to offer an empty unit for us to keep our luggage after checkout time so that we could enjoy PV for a few extra hours.
We will definitely consider this unit (and/or others in the complex) the next time we are back in PV.

James,
Thanks for taking to time to write such a thorough review. I'm glad that you had a wonderful stay and hope you come back soon!
Mark
This was centrally located to everything! And a very short walk to the ocean/pier. To note though…it is at the top of a hill. We are walkers and absolutely loved it. We also landed later and didn’t have time to run out and purchase coffee. We found some in the freezer. We paid it forward and left another bag in the freezer. This unit was extremely well kept, comfortable, and so wonderful that we will be back next year!
The Perfect Spot and Most Comfortable and Inviting
We had a lovely and comfortable stay at Casa Daphne. It was clean, well appointed, comfortable and perfectly located in the heart of the Zona Romantica.
It was always a great apartment to come back to after a nice day out on the Town. Highly recommended!
This property is very conveniently located. It is just a few steps from restaurants, art galleries and shops. Playa de los Muertos is 2 blocks away. This unit is beautifully decorated, the common areas are well maintained and the gardens are lovely. The pool is well sized and has a breathtaking view. Check in was fast and property manager Mavy was very helpful during our stay. We'll definitively be back!
Everything about our stay at Casa Daphne was fantastic, and it truly added to our great stay in PV. The unit and property met or exceeded all expectations based upon the listing and pictures.
Location is excellent, with convenient exits out of the property in both the front and back. Air conditioning worked great, wifi was adequate, and the bed was very comfortable. Super clean. Excellent washer and dryer came in very handy (especially given the September humidity and rainy season).
The terrace is very nice. Pool is beautiful and it's great to take a a dip at night (pool open until 10:30 pm).
Communications with the owner and property manager were great and check-in was seamless. We will definitely look forward to staying here again in the future.
Mark has a Apartment! Centrally located. We were able to walk to almost everywhere we wanted to go. The apartment is beautiful well decorated and furnished with everything we needed. We would definitely come back! Thank you for a terrific time
