17 Reviews of Property 189935 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexican Riviera

We just finished the most fantastic week at Casa Guacamole. Have never stayed in a property so well appointed and were amazed at the beauty and location of the property. Erika and Catalina were fantastic as they prepared breakfast and one dinner for our group. We hired a mariachi band for one night of appetizers and cocktails and it could not have been more perfect. The property gives the feel of old Spanish architecture with all the modern amenities. Cannot say enough good things about Casa Guacamole. We are looking forward to returning with friends and family in the future. Thanks for a great week Jeffrey.

The dramatic views and spacious house are as described. The casa is well maintained and very clean with daily service. The owner is responsive to all inquiries and arranged transport from the airport and our welcoming dinner meal. We took advantage of the chefs, having them cook almost all evening meals and a couple breakfasts. They are also very good bartenders. The food and drink were great and of great value. We used the driver services for shopping, transport to the zip-line and sightseeing. Besides the zip-line, parasailing, jet skis and the beach are just down the hill. We tried them all. I recommend this place to all.

We stayed here for a week with friends to celebrate their Wedding Anniversary. The accommodations were fabulous. Can't wait to come back again. Great location. Great views. Great place!!

What a magical home you have created Jeffrey. Casa G. is absolutely stunning, the architecture is spectacular, decor superb and the location couldn't be better - right in the center of town. The view are just magical, overlooking the Bay of Banderas and Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, with fireworks in the evening just to cap it all off. My sister and family from Melbourne, Australia joined our family for a wonderful holiday in PV. We enjoyed the 5 block walk down to the Malecon (beach boardwalk/esplanade) exploring all the shops and markets and dining in the various restaurants. We also enjoyed the hike back up the hill (although taxis are plentiful for those not choosing to do so), knowing the reward would be diving into the beautiful pool and relaxing at the Casa. There's a great Tapas restaurant just two blocks down from the Casa that we enjoyed very much as well. The people of PV were all very warm and welcoming and we felt extremely safe and we're so glad we had the opportunity to stay in this wonderful city.

I would also recommend Rigo, the driver you arranged to meet us at the airport - he is great and spoke English very well. We also hired him to take us on a day trip up the coast to Sayulita Beach, as well as a tasting at a Tequila factory to learn how it's made etc., which we enjoyed very much. We hired Marta to cook authentic Mexican meals for us on two evenings (don't miss out on this whatever you do!!). What a treat - the food was spectacular. Marta is an accomplished chef and a thoroughly delightful lady - next time we would like to have her cook every meal!! Erica the housekeeper and her colleague where very professional, helpful, friendly and did a great job of keeping the Casa ship shape.

Thank you again Jeffrey for sharing your beautiful home with us. We can't wait to return!

. . . since my week-long stay in paradise, and I am SO sorry not to be returning this year. Despite the stormy weather last October, our stay at Casa Guacamole was anything but. Best vacation I've ever had! Josie, Erika, and Marta were wonderful, and the villa is beyond beautiful. I hope to make it down next year!

One more note -- I have severe arthritis in my knees, and the hill and stairs were very tough. I would crawl up the stairs if necessary to stay at Casa Guacamole again! As for the hill -- cabs are inexpensive. :-)

I celebrated my birthday at Casa Guacamole with 6 friends and the entire experience was fantastic. The villa is extraordinarily beautiful and the location is fantastic. It's set high up on a hill above downtown PV so there are a lot of stairs to climb but it is well worth if for the privacy and serene views. The rooms are very nicely appointed and the service was first rate. I cannot wait to go back.

Casa Guacamole is a beautiful casa located in the hillside behind the cathedral, just in front of "gringo gulch". It was a nice walk to town and all the favorite hotspots and restaurants, along with the wonderful Malecon and all the best shops. I would recommend a cab for the ride back to the casa, as some of the hills are steep.The casa is very roomy and was a great choice for our first annual ladies week vacation. Every bedroom has an ocean view.It was very secure and the staff was most excellant. We never experianced any problems as one might expect when you get 8 women togather in one place, we all found it to be the most perfect place for a relaxing vacation. How often do you hear of 8 women agreeing on anything? What really made it stand out was the the beauty of the architecture and the lovely art work adorning the walls, the care the staff takes to ensure you want for nothing. It was also a major plus to have access to the internet and free calls back home to let our spouses know everything was going great. You know how men can worry! For the budget minded travellers, you will find no better deal in all of Vallarta, for everything Casa Guacamole offers. I would highly recommend this Casa to anyone looking for privacy to do as they wish and breathtaking views.

First and foremost I want to say that all of us enjoyed our stay at Casa G (as we all ended up calling it). We felt we were behind the curve on just about everything...i.e., we had Mary cook for us on Friday and realized we should have had her come in just about every night! She is incredible and what a great price! For 8 of us it was about $100 for groceries and $35 for her fee (absolutely ridiculous for the all the work she put in!). And all the leftovers for the next day. Not to mention the fact that she accommodated my "can't really eat spicy food" request.
The chips, guacamole, and Margueritas upon arrival were a welcome we weren't expecting. What great foresight on Jeffrey's part!
Erica was a delight (the downstairs help). We were all trying to figure out how to pack Erica and Mary into our suitcases to bring them home. Even though Marta couldn't speak English, we managed to get a few requests in! Casa G is blessed with an absolutely wonderful staff.

Arriving Sunday evening, it wasn't until about Tuesday morning that I started to feel somewhat acclimated to the house and all it entailed. I guess this is because we had never vacationed this way before so it took awhile to get the "lay of the land" so to speak. Took me a day to figure out how I could get my room cold enough with the A/C.

Didn't discover the drawer with the brochures or the games and books until about Wednesday. So everybody should look in the big armoire off the living room right away to see what they can take advantage of.

As far as store suggestions, Rizo's was the best and closest (we thought). Walmart wasn't so great.

And, THANK GOD we didn't rent a car! We were all laughing over the concept of trying to drive on those cobblestone streets. Once we finally (here again, behind the curve) got the ability to bargain our taxi rates we did well. One taxi (early on)...a van...charged 4 of us $200 pesos to go down to the flea market. We were irritated about that for the rest of the trip!

All in all, it was a great time for all of us. I loved the rustic charm of the house and enjoyed the rooster as well as the chiming of the church bells.
Jeffrey answered my endless emails and phone calls without hesitation, always willing to provide information. The pictures on his website gave a good indication of the house and all it entailed. I would definitely recommend this house. But be prepared for a lot of steps, both up to the house and inside as well.
