Ehrfürchtig Puerto Vallarta And Bay vews Von unserem Haus am Strand und Pool-Patio

We enjoyed our stay in La Cruz as a family of four with two grown "children". Great way to catch up and explore the surrounding areas. La Cruz is well located because it is close to major supermarkets in Bucerias as well as Punta Mita, Litibu, Nuevo Vallerta and San Pancho.

The house itself is comfortable - a/c was a definite plus because we were there during the hottest and most humid time of the year. Concierge Raquel is most accommodating and responsive; the dishwasher is inoperative because of the high alkalinity of the water. We were quite dismayed, since we do cook a lot of meals. However, manager Steve responded by sending someone daily to do the dishes and also treated us to a meal out. So while management of the property is top notch, I would only say that the owner invest a tad more in updating the home. Personal owner items should be left in the room that is locked so that outdated kitchen spices and condiments can be discarded. Beach towels could be refreshed as well as upholstery. There was a thorough cleaning only because Raquel and the managers were immediately responsive. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this villa.

This was the best get away place with a great view and so relaxing. Very clean. Will definitely come back to enjoy the peacefulness of it

Casa Dos Dolphins is a great house, the place is as described in the pictures. The pool on the backyard leads to the beach which is beautiful and quiet. La Cruz is a beautiful town and from there you have easy access to several beaches. The booking and checking process was very easy, Rob made sure to take care of our early check-in needs and the house was ready as promised, he sent us a booklet that covers all the questions you might have about the house and La Cruz town. Only a couple of recommenations to make this house and the vacation experience on it even better.

1) The AC on the master bedroom was not cooling down very good, we had to let it run 24 hrs a day to have the room at ~ 82F, the ceiling fan on the room helped and this is what saved us from the summer heat.

2) The drainage in this small town isn’t 100% efficient and overnight there is a unpleasant odor that comes from the bathrooms drainage pipes. The house has covers on the bathrooms to prevent block this odor, but they don’t work very well. I would recommend having a very good deodorant on the bathrooms to help with this issues. Again, this is not an issue of the house but anything to help would be great.

3) The overall cleaning of the house could be improved, not sure the house was thoroughly cleaned before our arrival.

Thanks,

My husband, 4yr old, stayed here for a week. The house was clean and had a great layout. Comfortable beds. Good towels. Great outdoor furniture. The kitchen was fully stocked although the food is SO good in town that we didn't cook too much. Junior's Tacos was amazing! The pool was perfect and it was so nice to be able to walk out to the beach. The lightening storms were incredible and it was amazing to watch them move across the bay. It's maybe not the best swimming beach but the water was calm and it was clean and quiet. The property manager was very helpful and always responded quickly. La Cruz is great for visitors who want a quiet escape and want to interact with locals.

This place is exactly as described. It was completely stocked with everything we needed. My husband, my self, daughter and her girlfriend stayed for 10 days in May and hardly left the place. The beach is a few steps away but most of the time we were in or around the pool. The beds were comfortable, lots of water pressure in the showers and plenty of chairs for all of us to hang out on the deck. Plenty of shade when we needed it too.

The little town of La Cruz is about a 15 minute walk by beach and although it was low season, there were enough restaurants open that we still had lots to choose from. We did miss the La Cruz Sunday market though it ended the week before we got there. We have been before however and I highly recommend it.

Three of us had massages when 2 ladies came to the house and gave us the best message ever. If you want any activities arranged, a call to Raquel is all it takes. She is very efficient and a lovely lady.

One of the best parts of the trip was meeting Steve and Melinda. (Steve and Rob are the property managers and Melinda is Steve's wife). Melinda picked us up from the airport and waited for us to pick up our groceries and then took us to the condo. She and her husband are great people and lots of fun. They even took us to Sayulita one day to show us around. They are warm hearted people, funny and full of adventure stories.

We have always felt safe coming to La Cruz and the towns people are very friendly. This is a small town, not much shopping but plenty of activities are available if that's what you are looking for. If you prefer to come and get away from it all this is the place. We will definitely be back.
