From the very beginning, this retreat exceeded our expectations. The pictures you posted--as wonderful as they are--do not do Estrella Mar justice. It is an extraordinary home with extraordinary touches (such at amazing art and artifacts) in every corner. It's hard to find a spot where the ocean can't be seen and the roar of the tide experienced. Pure bliss. There are just so many places to enjoy oneself within the home. The bedrooms (especially the suites) defy description. The word "huge" does not sufficiently describe how big and beautiful they are. And the staff was amazing (and fun!), simply wanting us to be happy and helping us navigate the wonderful choices that are available in this home, and the surrounding area. The weather was perfect--pure luck, we know--but a reminder how nice Puerto Vallarta is most times of the year. We hated to leave, but carry great memories.
