Contenta Testimonies Puerto Vallarta

Testimonials

We have rented a half dozen houses for holidays over the years from Hawaii to the Caribbean, and this was definitely the best overall. Beyond the beautiful setting, we noticed that the house was unusually well furnished with high quality, newer, very tasteful furniture. It felt spacious. The general condition and overall cleanliness were excellent; really remarkable for a property in Mexico and one that is rented. The plantings/flowers were really a pleasant surprise and truly make the large terrace a garden retreat. The beds were all comfortable, the plumbing worked great (not always true in Mexico/Caribbean) and the kitchen left nothing to desire. The wireless internet service was a huge hit with us (3 laptops going all the time), and the iPod hook-up was indispensable. Mauri, the maid, did an excellent job, and the pool guy was 'invisible'.
The accommodation made by Mercedes to greet us at midnight was much, much appreciated. She was cheerful, very helpful on the tour and had frozen margaritas waiting, which we really needed after a 22-hour door-to-door travel nightmare.

The detailed information that was provided in advance was superb. We could just tell that this house was going to be special -- and that it was well cared for -- based on the comprehensive information that was provided in advance. We appreciate the difference that a detail-oriented, caring owner can make, as we own one also.

We found that the taxis were very convenient; Muertos Beach was nice; and the town offered some nice shopping. We felt very safe. The restaurants are extraordinary -- St. Maarten has nothing on PV!! We had just 2 hours of clouds across 10 days -- that is just incredible. The good weather facilitated a couple days at the beach, a day of shopping, a day on ATV's and a day on a snorkel cruise -- all interspersed with days lounging at "home" on the patio.

We will certainly be back to PV in the future. Thank you for sharing your well-cared for beautiful home. We had a fabulous holiday!! Kevin Curran & Family, Buffalo, NY

Casa Contenta was certainly a place to remember. The house is very nicely decorated and all has been thought of to make your vacation pleasant. We could not get over the view from the infinity pool. We also enjoyed the meals prepared by the maid. We would recommend Casa Contenta to everybody looking for a comfortable, peaceful place for vacations. The house is very spacious and you really feel at home. It is also located from a short distance to the different restaurants and the downtown area. We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Contenta.

Our group stayed in Casa Contenta 4/28/07 through 5/5/07. I personally have been to Puerto Vallarta over a dozen times, and stayed at many different hotels, and this by far was my best experience. As many have said the pictures cannot do justice to the beautiful views from the patio. The location is excellent, just a 5 minute cab ride into downtown. We love the restaurants in PV but one of the best meals we had was bringing in a chef for an evening. It was a fantastic meal and a beautiful sunset. I hope that we'll be able to get our group back together and stay here again in the future. Fred Wich, Houston, TX

Casa Contenta is a large and luxurious retreat in an exclusive neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta. The entire staff was warm and inviting and eager to make every day of our trip absolutely perfect. The pool, the grounds, and the house are exquisite and perfectly cleaned and maintained. The pictures you find of Casa Contenta on the internet fall far short of capturing the true beauty of the home, the terrace, and those incredible sunsets. The owner was a kind and professional hostess who went far out of her way to accommodate the particular requests we had so that our friends and family had a comfortable and memorable stay in her home. I would highly recommend Casa Contenta to anyone considering a trip to Puerto Vallarta. Michelle Ray, Dallas, Texas

Enjoying PV and having Casa Contenta as our base was just perfect. We looked forward every day to returning from the beach and enjoying the pool and last rays of sunshine on the terrace. We plan to return to PV next year and Casa Contenta will be first on our list of places to stay. It is BIG and SPACIOUS and a perfect retreat for the two of us. Gary & Graciela, Devon, England

We enjoyed your wonderful home. Our best memories are of watching the sunset from the terrace and hanging out at the house. We love Mauri--her breakfasts are amazing and she even gave us a cooking lesson. The house is spectacular; we love looking at the ocean from every room. Every detail, down to the soft towels in the house is of high quality and well cared for. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and we truly hope we can come back to Casa Contenta in the future. Dave, Ana & friends from Stanford, London, Stanford, New York & LA

Incredible! I knew the moment we stepped out onto the terrace that we were many steps closer to heaven. The house, flowing design, warm details and beautiful appointments make this truly Casa Contenta. We loved our beach walks to town, shopping, sampling the wonderful restaurants, and watching the people, but we all preferred home--THIS home, for the week! Bob & Patti, Santa Barbara, CA

Very spacious and lots of great areas. One of the most completely equipped kitchens; wonderful towels, linens, hair dryers and more. The pool was great, heated and beautiful for evening lounging. We will be back!

Your home is exquisite—the view, the open rooms the flow into one another, the pool, and of course the Romantic Zone a stone's throw away. A very large slice of paradise. Thank you for the hospitality; it was full of memories. Scott & Ellen, San Mateo, CA

We are so relaxed that it is difficult to write and think! We have had a most wonderful time here at Casa Contenta with all of our needs met and then some! The beauty of the home is unsurpassed. Looking out through the arch, the infinity pool to the ocean where it meets the sky, time seems not to matter...a rare phenomenon. Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation.
George & Sharon, CA

This home is perfect! We compliment you on doing a wonderful job of decorating. Casa Contenta is a paradise and we loved everything. Our room couldn’t have been better and the view is a real bonus. We loved our stay here. All dinners were delicious and lunch on top of the mountain at Carmelitas overlooking the city and ocean was fun. Of course, cocktails on the terrace, overlooking the bay were the best.
Wayne & Kay, Palm Desert, CA

Many thanks to the owners of Casa Contenta for providing and welcoming us to a lovely home. We really loved Mauri, the house helper, for making some of our meals. The accommodations were exactly what we needed for much R & R. We laid around like toads and ventured out very little. No need to rush off; we were very happy here. Thanks a million. Eddie E & Heather C., Fort Worth, TX

Thank you so much for having us in your wonderful home. We enjoyed it and Puerto Vallarta very much. Our favorite places in P.V. were El Arrayan for dinner, happy hour at Langostino’s and tacos at La Tequiza. We enjoyed golf and surfing at Punta Mita (call Joe at Tranquilo Surf). Our best memories are of watching the sunset from the terrace and hanging out at the house. We love Mauri-her breakfasts are amazing and she even gave us a cooking lesson. The cooks for dinner were great as well. The house is spectacular-we love looking at the ocean from every room. Every detail, down to the soft towels, in the house is of high quality and well cared for. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and we truly hope we can come back to Casa Contenta in the future.

We’ve enjoyed our stay very much. We’re visiting from Minocqua, Wisconsin, San Diego and Scottsdale, AZ. In the past week we’ve parasailed and gone deep-sea fishing. The house is gorgeous! so comfortable and homey. We were amazed at how well-equipped the kitchen is. We would all visit Casa Contenta again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful week here at Casa Contenta. Such a beautiful and comfortable home. We have been to PV before, but never experienced it like this. Whatever we did—fish, golf, snorkel, walk the beach—it was always so nice to return to Casa Contenta and enjoy the sunset. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise.

Casa Contenta, a little slice of heaven, is that and more! The pictures on the web were spectacular but nothing compares to sitting on the terrace in person and looking out over the incredible vista of ocean and coastline for as far as the eye can see. What a way to spend our 40th anniversary. It was a truly RELAXING vacation. The accommodations were fabulous, huge rooms decorated beautifully. Our every need was anticipated and met. Toasts to the hosts! Jim & Patti Shaw, CA

Needless to say, we were blown away by the house, the location, accommodations and attentive service. It all surpassed expectations and above par. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. All of us will return to Casa Contenta. I cannot think of a more perfect way to celebrate my 40th birthday. The house is beyond lovely.
