An extremely relaxing home away from home!

Our stay here at Casa Contenta was simply perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Mercedes and Mauri, who are the property manager and housekeeper. After our sticky hot ride from the airport, the first thing they did was put a frosty delicious margarita in our hand, accompanied by some freshly made salsa and chips. Mercedes was extremely helpful with gathering information and arranging side trips. Mauri was there daily to cater to our every need, and keep the house fresh and clean.
Exploring the city each day was a morning event, followed by crashing into our own private pool to float for an hour, cool off, and then relax and read or watch the amazing views and sunsets (from any place in the villa). Breakfast was a short walk down to the beach. Dinners were spent at some of the best restaurants. We highly recommend Trio, Hacienda Angel (especially on Friday night when they have an excellent Mariachi band), Michael's, or Maxamillian's. A great place for lunch is Joe Jack's Fish Shack, for the best Mojitos with Fish & Chips! If you love horseback riding, we suggest you try Rancho Capomo. It is a beautiful ranch up in the jungle, and the ride crosses the river several times before reaching the falls. The horses are in very good shape, well cared for and trained. Our trip there was one of the highlights of our time in Puerta Vallarta.
Casa Contenta is an oasis of beauty, relaxation and quiet surrender. Each room is simply lovely. We can't say enough to help one understand how you will feel from the moment you walk into the Villa and see the breath taking views. The hosts, Dianne and John, have created a quiet paradise that is worth experiencing! We want to thank John and Dianne for creating something so lovely, and Mercedes and Mauri for ensuring that we enjoyed each moment at the Casa. Best Wishes for a great time in Puerta Villarta! Calie and Giles
