Incredible Vacation in Puerto Vallarta

atxbassplayer Austin, TX
Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
I'm delighted to say that my girlfriend and I just enjoyed a wonderful weeklong vacation in PV and staying at this property was the best part of it. Our accommodations were just incredible, with fantastic ocean views and luxurious surroundings that were not over the top or resort-feeling. We also dined on several occasions at the restaurant below the condo, Vitea, and were delighted with the quality of the cuisine and the service. The owner of this property maintains a clean, safe, quality vacation spot in PV and I would recommend it to anyone. We will be back!

Five nights in Vallarta

Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We enjoyed our stay. The soul of the City was just outside our balcony as well as an impromtu band with Good music. The accomadations are exactly as portrayed on the website. There is a warmth that greats you on your arrival and you feel truly at home. Too bad that we had to come back to reality. Great place!

Home Of The Dolphins, Excellente!

FirstLook Pacific Palisades, CA
Review Submitted: June 6, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
What a great time we had here. It was everything we hoped for and more. First, it looks exactly like the pictures, except better.  I loved the furniture and artifacts that decorated the condominium.  It totally evokes Puerto Vallarta.

This place grows on you  very fast. I have stayed in the resort hotels here, and though nice, the rooms could really be anywhere in  the world. And that is why  I prefer Home of the Dolphins, it's an upscale, comfortable way to be in exotic Puerto Vallarta while  remaining a bit above it all.

I told my wife, "I love it. I can stay in bed, looking out at my 180 degree view of blue blue blue ocean and green hillsides, and feel  like I'm out there enjoying Puerto Vallarta without even getting out of bed."

It is very spacious, the TVs get a ton of cable stations including CNN and some US channels. Michel provides 24 hour Internet (wi-fi) and that is incredible. We had two lap tops and we so appreciated getting back in touch with the 21st century after a long day on the pristine, isolated beaches and swimming with the dolphins.

Michel has great taste in life and living and I for one am glad he is sharing it and making it available to those of us who know the difference.

Home of the Dolphins is a delightful place to vacation. The balcony is perfect for watching the pelicans fish, the people strolling on the Malacon, or just relaxing with a favorite book and a cool drink.
In addition to the bright and cheerful condo, the upstairs pool and terrace is also a great spot to spend time.
The location is perfect, within walking distance to excellent restaurants, shopping and the water taxis.
We stayed for two weeks in March and enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Michel;
I have just returned from a 6 day stay at your beautiful home in PV.and With all of the negative publicity that Mexico has been recieving in the media lately, I felt obligated to share this wonderful experience with anyone who is considering a visit to PV. The people are so friendly and so eager to accomodate any and all needs that it makes it very difficult to want to come home. I spent every day on the Malecon with my two year old daughter enjoying the magnificant weather, food and serenity. This is truly a place where land and sea have come together and created a perfect combination of physical and visual stimulation.

Hola Michel,
We just got back last night from your lovely home in PV. We really enjoyed ourselves and we loved your place. We were there during the 12 days of the celebration of Guadalupe and it was so much fun. There was something going on every night. The weather was awesome and we walked so much and found wonderful restaurants and shopping. We met a good group at the pool that own condo's in your building and they told us of places to go and eat and shop, and we hung out with them in the day. Needless to say, we had so much fun. It was 47 degrees in San Francisco when we got back, and 87 degrees when we left PV. Burr! I want to go back to PV.
Thank you so much again, and we hope to do future traveling and staying at one of your lovely homes. Thank you for the coffee and soda's that were waiting for us in the condo. That was a nice treat.
Oh, Renee was wonderful and was there waiting for us when we arrived. The complex is kept up so well and we felt very safe at all times.

Review Submitted: September 14, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
From the moment we walked into the well
appointed lobby and your assistant Rene opened
the door to #309 we knew we were in paradise. The
unit is so spacious, a 270 degree view,inspiring
mexican furniture,spacious bedrooms, a large
balcony such that one is immediately welcomed to
your Mexican home and downtown P.V. With the
massive glass doors that open in the living room
and bedroom one does not need the A/C because
we wanted to listen to the waves breaking on the
sea wall as we looked down on the people strolling
the Malecon. Having the portable fan to move
around the unit is a great idea. The beautifully
appointed kitchen with ice making refrigerator, six
burner range, and authentic Mexican dish ware is a
godsend. Your pictures & description of this unit are
100% truthful for those who sometimes become
suspicious of the amenities included in rental units.
Your unit is so close to some of the best cafe's in
P.V. it is work to cook at home. You are absolutely
correct when saying the Vitea restaurant below you
prepares delicious meals, we dined there 3 times.
The 24 hour security left us feeling safe at all times.
The 4th floor pool area is remarkable and so private
with additional views of the ocean and historic
buildings (the Cathedral) behind you on the hillside.
Your unit made us feel we truly belonged in P.V., so
close to the real Mexican people. Your assistance in
pre-planning our vacation is surpassed by none,
leaving no stone unturned. The addition of 2
telephone systems, coupled with 2 types of
complimentary internet providers made keeping in
touch with business and friends an easy task. Your
instructions to us has been the best and most
extensive ever experienced in renting via vrbo.
Having Claudia & Rene available at all times allied
any concerns a visitor may have, always there to
assist us, if needed. In closing, we wish to thank
you for allowing us to use and enjoy your
magnificent, truly Mexican condominium. It is, by
far, the nicest decorated unit we have rented. The
maintenance of the entire complex is obvious as
soon as you enter the private gated entrance. We
hope we will be invited to partake in your
hospitality in the near future. Truly a Mexican
jewel. We recommend for future guests just 2 more
of the many cafes on Basillio Badillo Street to try,
Joe Jack's Fish Shack & EnQuentros Pizza. Yours
truly, G. & M. Burrell, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The condo was perfect for 4. Walking distance to downtown Vallarta, beautiful view of the bay and interesting people on the Malecon. Property manager met us as soon as we arrived and couldn't ask for a nicer place to enjoy the week.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever;"

BJ & RP New Bedford, MA
Review Submitted: June 5, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
Where to begin? All was sheer perfection. We loved the decor, the views were stunning, the abundance of room perfect. We so enjoyed the location. Being able to walk almost everywhere was so relaxing. The entire building was alway spotless and smelled so clean. The staff was always exceedingly pleasant and helpful. We also were able to enjoy the 150 year anniversary of PV and therefore were treated to the most beautiful display of fireworks from the roof top pool area. And the roof top pool ~ this was the pleasantest of all things. We cannot wait to return.
