Below are just a small sample of the unsolicited testimonials we receive on a regular basis.  One of the common themes is the quality of the staff.  At Villa Esplendora, you will arrive as strangers and leave as friends. 

"I just wanted to let you know that our week at Villa Esplendora was the best week of our lives. Everyone in our group loved everything about it. Most of the dinners we ordered were high end and were prepared like we had our own Master Chef. The flavor and texture were outstanding, and the presentation was awesome as well. The staff was second to none. They did everything imaginable to make our stay a delight. Sergio was like family. You are very blessed to have such a great leader as your houseman. The staff seemed to enjoy working together, and did it so well that we felt at home among them. We should be so lucky. I thought I had some idea of what paradise was, but that week gave a whole new meaning to it.   The villa couldn't be better. Everything flows together perfectly. It has the feeling of home with the lasting beauty of a palace.  The granite or marble throughout and stainless rails look like they could last forever, and the beautiful artwork was perfectly placed throughout.  It really was like heaven on earth and I want to thank you for allowing us to live a dream. You should be very proud of your place and your staff;  a perfect combination! "J.L., St. louis, MO, Feb 2009     

"WOW! We are here! What a great place. Thanks for everything." G.M. San Antonia, TX March 2009

"We wanted to thank you again for the wonderful service We received during Our recent stay at Your gorgeous Villa Esplendora in Puerto Vallarta. The actual villa exceeded our expectations and was incredible. Sergio the major domo was soliciteous beyond belief, the chef Daniel was talented.,The rest of the staf was extremely charming and absolutely invisible in the performance of their tasks. The views of the mountains and the ocean (especially of Los Arcos) were stupendous and to top it off the whales played right off shore. We had such a wonderful time that We are looking forward to returning next year." C.D., Dallas, TX Feb 2009

"This was one of the best vacations I have ever had. The pictures on the website are beautiful but the villa is even more spectacular in person. Everything about it was UNBELIEVABLE!! Sergio, Toni, Carmen, Conchita and the rest of the staff went above and beyond. The food was some of the best I have ever had and the service was better than any five star hotel I have ever stayed!! This vacation has set the bar! Thanks for making our vacation spectacular! No way to beat it! We had the best time ever!!" B.T., Las Vegas, Nevada Oct, 2008

"After returning home to cold wet weather, I wanted to take a minute to thank you, Sergio and the entire staff at Villa Esplendora for the great care they took of myself and my friends during our stay at your villa. From the minute we pulled up in the van until our departure there was only positive experiences and memories created with the help of Sergio, Concha and the rest. I was amazed at how friendly, eager and enthusiastic they were each day. I never wanted to leave the house even though I had never experienced the town of Puerto Vallarta. Our meals were amazing and I loved that they found a bakery twice to celebrate the birthdays and even came out and helped sing happy birthday to my friends. Once again, I want to thank you for the wonderful experience. We look forward to coming again and we will definitely tell others about the villa and the life long memories that your staff helped create." A.B.

"This vacation exceeded my expectations on many levels.The villa was even nicer than I anticipated based upon the beautiful pictures. Having rented villas in various destinations previously, I know the staff can make all the difference. Segio, Concha and Carman as well as the other staff were beyond exceptional! They provided excellent service, excellent food with the perfect touch cordiality. Thank you!" J.M., May, 2008

"Just wanted to drop you a quick note regarding our April 5th -12th vacation at Villa Esplendora. As the owner of an electrical construction company here in Washington , I know the value of employing good people. You have done an excellent job of choosing Sergio, Concha and staff. Sergio was always attentive to my empty margarita glass and Concha's meals will be sorely missed. The bad news is I'll will probably forced to go to rehab due to Sergio's superb drink making skills and because of Concha's mastery in the kitchen, I'm now searching e-bay for a treadmill. Aside from the alcohol problem and weight gain we had a great time. The experience at your Villa was such a positive experience my wife and I are considering purchasing a condo in Puerto Vallarta . Thanks," J. & S. S.

"I wanted to let you know that you have a beautiful home in Puerta Vallarta. We were there last week for a wonderful vacation. One the very special things about our vacation was Sergio, the cooks and the maids. The service and food was outstanding!!!!! We went out for dinner the 2nd night we were there and decided that we'd eat all of our meals at the house since the food was far better than what we got at a restaurant. Sergio has a very professional but casual way about him that made us all feel very comfortable. He also seems to really enjoy working at your home and takes great pride in keeping the place in order. You may get other emails from my friends. You should know this was not solicited. We asked Sergio for your email address because we wanted to make sure you knew you have a great staff. L R.

Gary, we all had a great time. It was kinda scary how we felt walking back in the door. It just felt to much like home. The weather was perfect, we got to take advantage of the lanai doors this trip. Sergio and Concha did a wonderful job as always exceeding everyones needs. B.S. Las Vegas, NV
