The great experience began with conversing with Terry, his support, his willingness to answer all our questions patiently, offer guidance and tips, making arrangements, recommendations about places to dine and things to do.
Terry, we met up with William, your friend and the owner of the Barcelona Tapas (wow - what a restaurant). He spoke highly of you.
We arrived to a very warm welcome from Alfredo, the manager. He made some of the best margs and the fresh gauc, pico and chips were simply amazing. The staff was a big part of the experience.
Rosario who kept the place spotless and made all our beds, while being discreet, Guadalupe, the chef, who made amazing me

Rosario who kept the place spotless and made all our beds, while being discreet, Guadalupe, the chef, who made amazing meals, to order, and taught some of us Spanish and Alfredo who was literally a text message away, arranging cabs and buying us drinks.
And the place - Casa Joanne. Words can't explain how beautiful this place is. We stayed there for 5 days. We really, didn't have to go anywhere. There was so much to explore right inside. Every piece of painting, every light fixture, every sink is beautiful. Everything works, not a light switch that doesn't work and there are so, so many of them. And the accent lighting is absolutely romantic. The infinity pool was fabulous. Our family was in the pool for so long. The audio system (you can pair your Bluetooth and listen to your own music).
Don't forget the sunsets - absolutely mind blowing. Believe it or not, we saw a whale, right from the pool. I had to take a few business calls and the office space in the master bedroom was perfect and the internet bandwidth (200 Mbps down and 90 Mbps up) was fantastic.
Vallarta is such a cool place. So many great restaurants, people are super friendly, we felt completely safe, both in terms of sheer security and covid protocols. Everyone masks up, outdoor dining everywhere. Overall, we had the best of times. Made so many memories and as a family we owe Terry a debt of gratitude for sharing one of his houses with us for the five days.
Thank you Terry and staff.
