Perfection

I just returned from Casa Yvonneka where I spent a week celebrating a big birthday with family and friends. I cannot say enough about this place. We used 8 of the 12 available bedrooms. They were all beautifully and uniquely decorated, with en suite bathrooms and ocean views. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They are always around yet not intrusive and seem to anticipate every need. 5 star hotel service–but better. Breakfasts are huge and delicious. Always fresh fruit and a choice of eggs (any way you want) or pancakes, french toast, etc. Dinners rival any high end restaurant in town, so take advantage of them!! Have the freshly caught whole snapper on the grill!! The food is amazing!

50th Wedding Anniversary

On behalf of our family we would like to thank the entire amazing and wonderful staff members of Casa Yvonneka. We got together to celebrate my parents 50th wedding and every little detail they worked on made things better. They went out of their way to show us things, to move furniture for us, to help us with the kids, they helped us find a mariachi. Helped us find places and things around, time was almost too short. Thank you so much. The L.O. Family – Tucson, Arizona – Austin, Texas – San Antonio, Texas – Baltimore, Maryland P.s even my two year old enjoyed himself.

3 Times & going back to Casa Yvonneka again

I have used this house as my home away from home 3 times now. Two with groups of business owners as a meeting retreat and once as my companies yearly reward trip. All three times have been amazing from the service, the views, and the personal touch from the owner checking in on us. I would highly recommend the house to anyone with a large group coming to PV. I have returned to Puerto Vallarta more for this home than even what the city has to offer, which is also an amazing place to visit. You will NOT be disappointed.

Best Destination Wedding Venue Ever!!!

Recently, 30 of our family and friends accompanied my fiancé and I to Puerto Vallarta for our destination wedding, 16 of which stayed at Casa Yvonneka with us. Throughout the week we had the great pleasure of befriending the wonderful 6 person staff, who went above and beyond to accommodate our large group. The meals were phenomenal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), ranging from Americana, traditional Mexican, and European cuisines. Given the beautiful vista that Casa Yvonneka offers, overlooking the Romantic Zone and Iglesia de Guadalupe, Bay of Banderas with a view of the Marieta’s Islands, we thought that the villa would be the perfect venue to host our magical sunset wedding. The addition of the impeccable detail to decorating, with vibrant colors and impressive artwork that adorn the place and add to the aesthetic, we were not disappointed. And the staff bent over backwards to ensure that our special day went off without a hitch, calling electricians, moving furniture, cooking the reception dinner, and bartending into the wee hours while the festivities turned into a fantastic pool party. The best part is that the villa is walking distance to the Vista Grill, a great local restaurant, as well as the picturesque Zona Romantica, Los Muertos Beach & Pier, and the Malecon. Whether you are person looking for a great relaxing getaway, family reunion, couples retreat, or a bunch of friends looking to have a good time, Casa Yvonneka is the place to be. The photos are legit!!!! And I have to give a special shout out to Malena, the head chef, Felix, the night watchman, Fernando & Tony, who are always there to help with anything, and the wonderful housekeeping staff who kept the place looking like the day we arrived! And we thank Yvon for making it all possible, Thank you!

Our Wonderful Family Vacation

Our stay at Casa Yvonneka was like no other for our family. From the moment we arrived until we departed the staff took amazing care of us. Malena, Fernando, Tony, Betty, Felix, and Berra were so nice and made us feel welcome every single day! The villa was very comfortable, beautiful, and the views of the bay were just fantastic. The location of the villa in old town area was perfect for us. We had 14 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 babies staying at the villa and everyone was very pleased with their bedrooms and all the amenities. The meals prepared by Malena and her staff, as well as the service provided by Fernando, Tony and Felix, were second to none and far exceeded my expectation. If anyone had any special needs regarding meals Malena and her staff made sure they were taken care of. We always felt safe in Puerto Vallarta and it provides a lot of activities. Several of us are divers and were very happy with the diving in PV. It was a vacation with wonderful memories for our family that will last a life time, thanks to Casa Yvonneka and the staff. I would certainly recommend Casa Yvonneka to anyone staying in Puerto Vallarta . . . you will love it!

 

We’re not in Kansas Anymore

I recently spent 8 glorious days at Casa Yvonneka (early May) and it has taken me a full week to come down from the high-level sensory onslaught of beauty, comfort and TLC I experienced there. Some thoughts, but where to begin? Casa Yvonneka is a modern, multi-storied villa clinging to the hills of Alta Vista with an absolutely breathtaking, knockout view of the old city, surrounding mountains and Banderas Bay. And the cool thing is, it’s only a short walk or brief ride to the “romantic” section of old town and the beach. It has all of the 5 star amenities one would expect, but there is nothing sterile or corporate here. Each room is distinctive; the walls are awash with vibrant colors and brilliant contemporary art work; beautiful woven fabrics abound. Everywhere one looks there is something interesting to behold; one wanders from level to level, stunned by the ingenuity and creativity that has gone into this concrete fantasy. But wait. There’s more. Casa Yvonneka’s secret weapon: the staff. Magdalena and her congenial crew just do it right. The food, drink and service couldn’t be better. They seem to sense what you want moments before you realize you want it. And here, too, there’s nothing stiff or formal. Before long you feel like you are one of the family, in a home you would be happy to live in for as long as you can.
