Thanks Mark for sharing your lovely home at Selva Romántica. We appreciated the quality, luxury, style, and thoughtfulness of everything at Casa Daphne - it was a super comfortable relaxing stay. The apartment is situated ideally in quieter, private corner of building for green lushness, birds, nice cross breezes and morning sun, but so close to the ‘Zone’ for dining, shopping, and yes, some nighttime PV action. We loved dining on the balcony mornings and evenings. Two flights of steps up to beautiful pool, and two flights down to the street. Favourite bakery right around the corner. Just bring clothes and unpack, Mark has absolutely everything else covered, and I mean everything. Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed!

Casa Daphne

This property offers everything you could possibly need during your stay in Puerto Vallarta. The owners really considered everything- from toiletries you may have forgotten to anything you may need in the kitchen or laundry room- it’s there for you. When we mentioned we were foodies, Mark went above and beyond and gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants and turned us on to the fact that it was Restaurant Week in Puerto Vallarta- what luck! Great property- great owner!

Casa Daphane

The unit was very well equipped. It came with the conveniences of home. Given we had a washer and dryer we could have packed 30% less clothing. The property pool area, gym and gardens were a nice to have and were excellent. Also the property is gated with security personnel so we felts extra safe The property is central to all that the romantic zone offers. So bars, restaurants, banks, stores, beach and the malecon were easy walking distance. The bars can be lively at night but between the noise machine in the unit and ac it was not an issue. A suggestion is to bring ear plugs if someone feels they are more sensitive to music. This is not a slight on the unit or the property, it is just the reality of being in an active, central location. Overall, the experience was great!!! The people within the complex were friendly. Many were repeat visitors who openly provided tips regarding things to do, what and where to find the favorite or popular restaurants, bars, markets etc. Also Mavy the property manager was excellent to deal with and was attentive to our needs and or questions. She also ordered the taxi for our departure and was good to communicate via WhatsApp, text or phone. We would definitely recommend this unit and property Natalie and Dennis

Great location for everything!

This was centrally located to everything! And a very short walk to the ocean/pier. To note though…it is at the top of a hill. We are walkers and absolutely loved it. We also landed later and didn’t have time to run out and purchase coffee. We found some in the freezer. We paid it forward and left another bag in the freezer. This unit was extremely well kept, comfortable, and so wonderful that we will be back next year!

This property is very conveniently located. It is just a few steps from restaurants, art galleries and shops. Playa de los Muertos is 2 blocks away. This unit is beautifully decorated, the common areas are well maintained and the gardens are lovely. The pool is well sized and has a breathtaking view.

Fantastic Experience

Everything about our stay at Casa Daphne was fantastic, and it truly added to our great stay in PV. The unit and property met or exceeded all expectations based upon the listing and pictures. Location is excellent, with convenient exits out of the property in both the front and back. Air conditioning worked great, wifi was adequate, and the bed was very comfortable. Super clean. Excellent washer and dryer came in very handy (especially given the September humidity and rainy season). The terrace is very nice. Pool is beautiful and it's great to take a a dip at night (pool open until 10:30 pm). Communications with the owner and property manager were great and check-in was seamless. We will definitely look forward to staying here again in the future.

5 star experience!

This was one of the best vacations I've ever had. The condo was spotless: windows sparkling, floors you could eat off of, crisp white sheets. The bed was super comfortable; towels were thick and plush. I just can't say enough about this stylish little condo. The pool has to be one of the best in PV, with gorgeous views of the ocean and old town. It's a very convenient 10-minute walk to the beach (playa los muertos). Even the little on-site gym has enough equipment to get in a decent workout. The only criticism is that the days simply melted away, and before we knew it, it was time to go home. I can't wait to stay here again!! A++++ in every aspect.

Outstanding rental location in Selva Romantica

This was our 5th stay at Selva Romantica, and this property was by far our favorite! Extremely comfortable, perfect layout for two and excellent location. Wonderful communications with the owner and on-site property manager. There are many new rental locations in PVR from which to choose these days, but you can't go wrong with Selva Romantica. Its charm and character are unique - the facilities and ground are truly outstanding!

We absolutely loved this place! The location is perfect for easily walking to the beach, and even easier for going to restaurants and bars on all different parts of town. Very centrally located in Romantico Zone. It is decorated beautifully, great patio views, amazing pool views, and probably the comfiest bed we’ve had in PV. Check-in process was so easy and was ready as soon as we got there. Highly highly recommend for anyone!

Better Than The Photo

Overall I felt like a pampered guest in a friend's home. There is NOTHING lacking. Every kitchen utensil was there and in good condition, the bed was the most comfortable I've ever had in a rental. Abundant towels,Laundry soap, dish soap, hand soap even spices and some cooking oil. even the same sunscreen I use at home. Plus, the place is more beautiful tha the photos showed. I woke up every morning with a fresh breeze through the french doors which allowed me to look out on a huge expanse of greenery due to the elegant tree just outside the window. I felt as though I was waking up in a treehouse. the decoration and lighting is so well thought out, not just practical but every fixture was not just functional but beautiful. I hated to leave and look forward to the next chance to stay there. Be aware, there is night time noise from the nearby clubs but what you are also getting is every time of service with-in brief walking distance. restaurants, coffee shops, pastry stores, COVID testing sites with-in half a block, great shopping for authentic Mexican textiles, crafts, anything you desire really. And the on-site manager could NOT be better or more attentive.

Our experience at this apt was wonderful. Beautifully maintained apartment and complex. Everything needed with extreme comfort. The complex is really cool. We would always use the back stairs entrance (instead of the main one), as it let us out down the hill right in the middle of the Romantic zone. Loved our stay, thank you!

Authentic Mexican feel

Such a charming place and so well appointed, and such beautiful tile floors. So much light with all the windows and doors that open up. The patio was lovely too... we had heard lots of really nice things about the bed, honestly it was a savior. We were very ill for 3 days and could hardly get out of bed and it was so comfortable and the fact that we could black out the rest of the world really made it better. Surprised at all the little details, the hand vacuum, the lint roller, iron and ironing board, the wave sound machine near the bed, tons of hangers ( which I never see) just a lot of really nice little touches. So great to have the washer and dryer too. We didn't cook at home but the kitchen looked like it had everything. The hot tub was being repaired while we were there so we weren't able use it but other than than it was really perfect. Just lovely and a great location
