Nestled in a secluded cove directly on Puerto Vallarta's Gold Coast, the large crystalline infinity pool with deck and lounges is just steps from your own sandy beach.

French doors off four sumptuous bedrooms, each with private terrace, open to breathtaking views of the tranquil Pacific. One of Puerto Vallarta's best-kept secrets by those who return time and again.

Salinas I Guest Comments

• "I don't know if I have the words to describe the wonderful time my family & extended family had in Puerto Vallarta at Casa Salinas I. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty by the staff there. The accommodations were clean and suited our needs perfectly. The meals were outstanding. All the adults were able to relax and pretend the "work force" in the States was just a minor annoyance. Our two little boys had a wonderful time in the pool and on the beach. It was just great that our chef prepared food that both boys were able to enjoy. I have told many of my friends here at home how everything, from first contact with your service, the time spent in Puerto Vallarta, the boat outing and the Mexican fiesta was more than we expected.

• "We returned from our much anticipated vacation to Puerta Vallarta saturday. It was such a wonderful experience, I felt I must write to you and fill you in on some unexpected delights! When we arrived last Sunday, Juan and his crew were there to meet us. It was about 2pm, and Juan showed us around. We unpacked and joined him in the bar area under the beautiful palapa to a welcome margarita, empanadas and taquitos - homemade quacamole and pico de gallo. The rest of my family arrived around 5pm and the party continued. Dinner each day was beyond delicious, so was breakfast. The nicest surprise was that our cooks - Elba and Marta, prepared a light lunch for us every day at 2pm. They made quesadillas, etc from the left over meat from the night before - again served with homemade guacamole, pico or salsa and chips. We thought we would be on our own for lunch. We did not want for anything. Juan's team took us snorkeling on his boat Wednesday - we also went to a beach. That was very fun and very reasonably priced. We also went to the fiesta at a ranch. The dancing was beautiful. The food was just ok compared to what we had been eating at the villa. I want to thank you and your team for your guidance on selecting the right villa, your communication through the process and for arranging transfers.

• "WE HAD A FABULOUS TIME! We loved the house, the cook, the food, the help, everybody was so nice! We certainly are planning to go back next year," by Betty, Texas
• "We have just returned from our beautiful week at Casa Salinas and still overjoyed that we decided to make the trip. It was a truly delightful experience. Each of us came home safe, healthy and completely relaxed. We did not encounter even one hint of a sick person in Puerto Vallarta. I am so glad we went. As for Casa Salinas, the houses were both lovely: well decorated, interesting and innovative designs, and well kept. We appreciated the peace and privacy afforded by each room, as we traveled with all ages. From crying babies to partying grandmas, thanks to the homes' design we found neither to be a disturbance to the others. Talk about clean! The pools were sparkling, the beach immaculate, the kitchens – spotless. The wait staff at the homes were the perfect balance of discreetly available. If we needed drinks or snacks, they seemed to appear immediately, yet, we were free to be ourselves and use the facilities without feeling supervised. Each of them: Juan, Rigo, Miguel, Ora and the kitchen staff were stellar. We were disappointed about one thing. It was restaurant week in PV and we had looked forward to eating at a variety of restaurants, but the fare was so good at Casa Salinas, we couldn't miss a meal at home. We ended up pretty much ditching all plans for dinner out. At the end of the week, our bill for groceries was very, very reasonable. We were quite pleased. Lastly, for anyone planning a wedding in Puerto Vallarta, here's your chance for a platinum wedding. There are so many areas to entertain at these villas,that our wedding planner was able to pull off three completely separate and unique events: an intimate wedding ceremony at Casa Salinas I, a casual cocktail party on the beach and a dazzling reception at Casa Salinas II. Our breath was taken away from the moment the richly carved doors of Casa Salinas I opened on to the ceremony until the last maraca-shaking guest left the dance floor at Casa Salinas II.

• "WEDDING: Jeff and I got married at Casa Salinas. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful our wedding was. It was the perfect day and the location was truly something out of a dream!! We hope to go back to PV." by Sara M., AZ
• "We are leaving beautiful Casa Salinas 1 in just a couple of hours. We have an absolutely incredible stay. The house is beautiful and was the perfect choice for our family. The icing on our trip was the incredible staff….who made us feel completely at home. Juan couldn’t have been more hospitable and helpful in arranging fishing and massages. Marta’s meals were incredible…..every night was a treat of Mexican cuisine. Starting the mornings with fresh fruit, juices, eggs, bacon etc….was a rare treat for people on the go. The guacamole and pico de gallo were phenomenal. I would be remiss in not mentioning how charmed we were by Rigo…..such a friendly face and terrific margaritas. He always had a smile on his face and did everything possible to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. Abby kept our rooms and the common areas spotless. Casa Salinas is a magical get away. I should mention that we had an incredible show of the whales…… I will highly recommend this to my friends." by Jana C., CA
