Rustling palm fronds fan cooling breezes onto this exquisite retreat. 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. Watch as formations of pelicans glide silently over the quiet seas only to plunge suddenly to catch their dinner. A grand palapa covers the gracious living and dining rooms where your staff offers authentic Mexican cuisine. 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.
