Beautiful Place

Dave:
I am writing this note to you as I am flying back to Minneapolis.
Thank you so much for letting our family stay at your beautiful
place. We had an awesome time. Villa la Estancia is a first class
place. The staff at the property was so kind and helpful. They were
so professional. The weather was perfect. It was sunny everyday with
no clouds. My kids really enjoyed the boogie boarding in the ocean.
We did some zip lining, took the bus to downtown Puerto Vallarta, ate
at Mezzgiormo, La Laguna, Famar, and Karen's.
In closing, I want to thank you again. We hope to return again in
2011 for spring break vacation. Without looking at my kid's school
calendar, I think their break is the 1st week in April. If we move
forward, I will be back in touch with you about availability at your
place if the opportunity exists.
Kind regards,
Paul Halgren

Will Return

Dave,
This was by far one of the nicest resorts I have ever stayed at in Mexico. Gorgeous grounds, beautiful pool with swim-up bar, full kitchen, and a great ocean view with large patio. We will be going back to this unit year after year. David, the owner, was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and local information. I wouldn't hesitate to book this villa - you won't be disappointed.

Great Stay

Dave,
Great lay-out at Dave and Lori's unit. We are a family of 4 and this was perfect for us. Put the kids in the 1 bedroom and we had privacy. It was like the kids were in their own unit. Master bedroom layout was great. Everything needed in the kitchen to prepare meals should you choose and 3 flat screens if TV is your bag. Our kids brought a few of their DVD's and a full compliment of english channels are offered on cable. Great views from the third floor (just above the tree line) so fantastic views of the sunsets and the bay. Large balcony/deck we would relax on the lounge chairs and read and listen to the ocean right in front of you. Great property lush, great facilites, spa (one of the best experienced at any 5 star we have stayed at) and very well equipped gym. Beach was walkable and your not bothered by merchants and vendors. Actually some sand to enjoy unlike so many other locations in Mexico affected by storms. Great service from staff and if you want the high activity of an all-inclusive go next door and check the sister property. Nice thing is the property and guests next store have NO ACCESS to the Villa La Estancia even the beach! Best of both worlds. Will go back in a heartbeat!

Our stay in your lovely unit was wonderful!! The first week, I would guess there was only 30% occupancy and the maybe 40+% the second week. I am sure it will be filling up with spring break now.
We spent most of our time relaxing on the beach. The waves were great for boggie boarding. There was a sailing regatta that kept me busy "armchair racing", binoculars in hand. I raced on big boats competively for more than 25 years so enjoyed watching the starts etc.
As you probobly know they have opened the poolside restaurant for dinner. We had the crab risotto and softshell crab salad-- both excellent! Wines are a bit pricey-- we also ate in the main restraurant- with mixed reviews.
We went to PV- lunch at La Palaypa- it was great. Bucereas- We ate at Tapas del Mundo, & Karens- twice. Sayulita- Don Pedros- very good.
We found a new restraunt in Nuevo Vallarta called Portobello. It is a business center near the Grand Mayan. the food was excellent- bbq shrimp scampi! There is another new restraurant right next to it , that we heard good things about too.
Thank you again -- we plan to return!

Hi, Dave.
Heaven, heaven, heaven! We loved every minute and everything was perfect. Sometimes the best experiences are the unplanned ones, and that's how this whole trip was. Your home is a dream. Stress just melted away! I can send you some photos and more details later, but I just want to thank you now for renting to us. It really was one of our best times in Mexico.
I don't have any damage to report. We spent most time outside by the beach and pool or out on your terrace, so some areas like your living room really never got used. It was great having the other room for our kids. I never even turned on the a/c, but kept the screen doors closed so we could hear the sound of the sea. I did leave a few things in the fridge, thinking the maid would want it, but now I'm hoping that's ok. Housekeeping will have to clean out the fridge. Since we only had maid service once, I did a little tidy up each day and washed some towels, used the broom, etc...It was easy to keep clean.
Thanks again for the late check out Saturday. We had a long trip back with having to drive 5 hours from Chicago to get home.
I loved so many things about your place, but the relaxing and quiet atmosphere was the best! We are happy to recommend it to our family and friends for whom it would be a good fit. I want to plan a time to return, so I hope you will rent to us again.
Thanks again for renting us your beautiful home!
