"We recently returned from a week long vacation at Casa Ventana. While a week of sun, relaxation and beachside drinks met our expectations, I must say that our experience at Casa Ventana greatly exceeded our expectations. This is greatly due to the house manager Lette and also Ruby. Before we arrived, Lette arranged our transportation from the airport to the house. We arrived and she had expertly stocked our fridge with an assortment of beer and wine that we had requested. She also had homemade margaritas, salsa and guacamole waiting for us. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. The view is phenomenal, especially from the plunge pool that backs up to the bedroom on the second floor. The bedroom on the top floor was incredibly private and the air conditioner worked perfectly. The two bedrooms on the ground floor were also very comfortable and opened to the open air living room and kitchen. I have seen some people complain about the hill to get to the main road, but this was not a problem at all. It was a little bit of a hike, but provided a great opportunity to work off some calories. If we called a cab, it was usually there within 5-10 minutes. The best part of the property is definitely dealing with Lette and Ruby. They were always genuinely kind and helpful, quick to offer a smile, a margarita or any thing to help improve the stay in the house or Puerto Vallarta. We had breakfast prepared daily and 3 dinners during the week. The food provided was the best we had all trip and Lette and Ruby made it feel like we were sitting down to family dinner. It was always nice to see that they also seemed to enjoy preparing the meals together! The house was cleaned daily during the trip. Groceries were also replenished daily. Felt like being at home, just with a much better view and a much less stress. I cannot wait for our group to return!"

"It was exactly the perfect vacation, the home is in the hills with million dollar villas all around it. The one across the street we were told was once owned by Rod Stewart. The property is very well kept and very lush. The view is exactly as the picture shows. Both homes were very clean. We ate out on the balcony for dinner a couple of times. (AWESOME) The full time gardener was around but never in the way and the maid was so sweet. She was even doing laundry for a couple of the guys and they didn't even ask her too. Thank you. And thank you for ALWAYS getting back to us within hours on any questions we had."
