Villa Suzannah was wonderful and the service at the villa was fabulous.
The pictures don´t do it justice, the view is unbelievable and the staff FAR exceeded our expectations! Food (Ramon is a great chef)and service (Lupita did our laundry every day!) was top-notch. Shopping was handled by the staff…what a time-saver for us, not having to waste precious grocery time shopping for food and wine! Rosie (administrator) even went to Costco to get us the best deals on wine and champagne :) My daughter left her stuffed animal in the van that picked us up from the airport and Rosie tracked it down for her and got it back! Also, I got home and realized I was missing half of a bikini and they have tracked it down and are returning it to me! Talk about great service and going above and beyond!

We spent a couple of afternoons at the beach, had massages in the villa as well as down on the beach, went out in a boat, guys went fishing, went into town for one day, but the rest of the time, just lounged around, read, and relaxed…didn't want to come home :)

We had such a great time AGAIN at the villa. My brother and his wife had
not been there before, and they LOVED it. The weather was fabulous.

Ramon and Lupita were GREAT as usual. The food was spectacular, and Ramon
did such a great job with our favorites that he makes and even with the
new things that we asked him to make as well. Ivan, the
server, was outstanding also. Rosie mentioned this was the first time
that he had worked at the villa, but you would have never known it. He
was super attentive and just so very, very nice and accommodating. He was
always there to get us what we needed and was also good at knowing what we
needed without asking. His English was also very good which made speaking
to him very easy. I definitely think you all made a great decision in
having him on your staff.

Hello Denis just to let you know our stay was just lovely! Everyone was
just so friendly and helpful. Chef did well with our veggie friend, and food was
flavorful. . . Our French couple fell in love with the place and plan to contact you for a booking... Here's too all who made our trip such a success!!! Thanks again to Rosy... Have a great summer and we will visit again.. GRACIAS! Gloria and Bruce

We just wanted you to know how pleased we were with our recent stay at
Villa Suzannah (January 14-21, 2010). What a fantastic place! The Villa
itself with its tasteful decor was wonderful, but that was only the beginning. The staff was incredible - especially Daniel and the unbelievably talented chef, Ramon.Â Because of Ramon's delicious meals, we never wanted to try the fine restaurants in town. The one expensive meal we did eat in town did not compare to Ramon's creations. Your administrator, Rosy, was a pleasure to deal with every day. Also, our arrangements for the trip with Jennifer of [Rental Agency] were handled so efficiently, and helped make the whole process worry free. And of course - what a view! We have already told so many people about our great experience and have a list of people thinking about going to Villa Suzannah. Our problem now is whether to keep returning to Villa Suzannah or to try other locations. Your villa and its staff will make it very difficult for us and our friends not to return to try and duplicate this perfect vacation.

Dear [Agent], I am sorry that I have not written you before now.. Paul and I had an amazing time at Villa Suzannah and like you said the staff was fantastic. If we could have, we would have brought them home with us. We ended up having three meals a day there except for one night when we went out to dinner and it wasn't good at all. The house is breathtaking and is decorated like you would believe a Mexican villa would be. The staff took very good care of us and we really appreciated them. We definitely will recommend you to all our friends and family and I know we will
be doing this again soon! Once again, I cannot stop raving about the wonderful trip we had. Lots of love, and thank you, it was GREAT!!!

(Return Guest) - Friday, October 23rd, 2009 3:25 PM PDT
We had a GREAT time as the villa and the new folks that we took simply loved it. We have permanently placed Villa Suzannah on our favorites list and plan to visit each year as we did this one.

- Saturday, October 17th, 2009 1:15 PM PDT
Thank you, we had the best best time in Villa Suzannah, it's the most beautiful
house I stayed. I uploded the pictures in my facebook so please check it.
We are planning to go back to Villa Suzannah on Sonja's brithday next year as well!!!

- Saturday, August 15th, 2009 8:01 AM PDT
A vacation we will never forget, everything was fabulous - from the views, hospitality, food - definately give this hacienda a 5 star rating!!!

Return Guest - Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 8:41 AM PDT
. . .Your villa is one that we will keep returning to for years to come for sure! We had such a wonderful time there, and the people, accommodations and food were FABULOUS
!!!!!

The moment we drove up to the villa, we were captivated by the view through the expansive entry to the ocean. Viilla Suzannah is far and away the perfect setting for a holiday in Puerto Vallarta. Alonzo and Daniel, our chef and assistant made the stay even more spectacular creating inventive and inviting menus that delighted both the eye and the pallet. Their friendly service and attention to detail made all of us feel welcome.

We hope to return to "our" beautiful villa one day soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Vila Suzannah. The pictures
on the auction board did not do it justice. Beautiful place with outstanding views of the bay below. One thing none of us were prepared for was thequality of the food. Everything was prepared perfectly and the presentation was outstanding. Daniel and Alonzo outdid themselves and were very helpful in getting us transportation etc.

- Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 4:40 PM PDT
We had a fabulous time there and all was great - the staff was all very friendly, the place was wonderful, weather was wonderful, and food was excellent. We would definitely visit again and have provided the site location to many of our friends.

- Monday, June 8th, 2009 11:26 AM PDT
We very much enjoyed the Villa and in fact we
will look for future avail as we usually like to visit PV 3-4 times a
year. We both agreed we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else now that
we've stayed at Villa Suzannah . . . Again -- we loved every minute of our visit.

We had a great stay. Rosy the house manager was at our beck and call. The cook was good and it was nice to have our meals at this beautiful home. We never wanted to leave. Truly the most spectacular views and architecture. . .
Highly suggest having Rosy arrange for massages at the villa.

Jerry & The Jerdon Group - Friday, April 10th, 2009 12:13 PM PDT
Our group had a great stay at your villa. Temoc severed excellent meals and Luis kept the margaritas glasses full plus early morning coffee. Lupita kept the villa spotless and Rosy managed the money, spa and golf outing.
Everyone was friendly and helpful. Villa Suzannah will definitely be in our future plans.

- Monday, March 16th, 2009 12:13 PM PDT
What a spectacular house this is! The architecture, details and furnishings create an amazing setting for one of the greatest views imaginable. We loved it! Add to this the attentive service of Rosy, Alonzo, Lupe and Romon, and you have a very special vacation indeed. Come enjoy this beautiful villa.

- Friday, January 16th, 2009 8:58 AM PST
We wanted to let you know how much we all loved Villa Suzannah!! It was
far better than even the pictures we saw. Rosy made our stay absolutely
perfect! She gave us great dinner reservations, taxis and a fabulous day
trip from La Playa de Mismaloya (I may not have spelled that correctly).
And we loved Ruben's food, as well as Ivan and Lupita. Thanks again
for sharing your home with us.

- Monday, August 4th, 2008 10:26 AM PDT
What a wonderful house. We were staying in a villa down the hill during
the previous week, but I must say that yours is far more lovely. We'll
certainly bear it in mind for the future. Thanks again for putting us up for the night.

- Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 7:51 PM PDT
Words cannot describe what a beautiful place Villa Suzannah is. As my family and I entered the villa we were awed by the amazing views as well as the wonderful staff. I would like to thank Rosy, Alonso, David, and Lupe for making our week so special. To say that they are accommodating is an understatement, every wish we had they made available. The villa itself is stunning, you really cannot get the whole feel until you walk through the front entry way. Thank you again for a wonderful week!

Hello,

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. Once we got back to Michigan it was off to work and it's been hectic ever since. I think it's time for another vacation.

WOW...where do I start. First, the driver that you booked was waiting happily for us outside of Baggage Claim. Even though we were about an 1 and 1/2 hours late getting in, he was there holding up the Suzannah sign like you promised. We got to Villa Suzannah and from then on we were blown away. Even though we had toured the house 2 years ago, the Villa was even prettier than I remembered, and although the pictures of the house on the website are beautiful, they just don't do it justice. Alonzo, Daniel and Lupita were there waiting our arrival with Dinner being prepared and Homemade Guacamole, Salsa and Tortilla Chips ready for us to snack on. Every night we ate in was a treat. Alonzo is an excellent cook and the service was fantastic. Since I was the only one in our group that spoke (broken) Spanish, I was the one doing most of the communicating. They all made us feel very comfortable, and made sure we didn't go without anything. There were a few days that we ventured off to the Beaches, Zip Lining and shopping but most of our time was spent at the Villa. It was so hard to break ourselves away from the beautiful artwork and views that the house offered, so we stayed in as much as possible. No where else will you find as beautiful of sunsets that we witnessed. Three days out of our stay we were able to see whales from the balconies. What a treat!! ... The memories that we created there will never fade. Thank you so much for everything . . .

Wishing you much success,

[Name omitted]
and the rest of the group.

After reading the comments from previous guests it's clear that Villa Suzannah and all the hosts associated are top notch and consistant when it comes to making each guest feel special. My first impression of the Villa was overwhelming. The website photos helped me anticipate the beauty but the absolute best was actually being there and being able to take in the surrounding landscape and enjoy the detail of the items that decorate each room in the Villa. The only way to capture the breathtaking feeling one gets when entering is to--just do it.
The eight of us only ate dinner out one night because we are convinced that Alonso and Russell are the best staff Puerto Vallarta has to offer and they are working right there at Villa Suzannah.
Thanks also to Daniel and Rosey who greeted us warmly and coordinated our sightseeing and shopping trips. And Lupita for her warm and friendly smile while attending taking care that all was clean and in order.
Rich and I are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to enjoy one wonderful week and want to thank you for all the care and love you put into making the perfect place to relax for all who are welcomed at Villa Suzannah.
Munchas Gracias,
Maggie and Rich

Robin A. - Thursday, December 20th, 2007 3:35 PM PST
Every day since we have returned I remember all of the ways in which our vacation refreshed us and pampered us and treated us to extraordinary beauty! The attention to detail in every part of the Villa was so apparent. All of the people were unbelievably helpful and gracious. The views were the most beautiful I have ever seen! It was romantic and private and also a great way to get to know each other in a way we never have before.

Maggie and I have not really been together since our return and have not had a chance to coordinate a more fitting thank you but I want you to know that our trip gives me the energy I need as we go into this crazy season and that it more than provided me with enough relaxation and enjoyment and renewal then any vacation I have ever had. Gene and my sister and brother in law all share this feeling and express enormous gratitude to you.

I know those of you who know me tease me for my superlatives. This time I don´t have enough!

With great affection and enormous gratitude,

Susan, Ed, Marty and Ron - Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 11:04 AM PST
Hi Denis: I've been home for a couple of days, but the glow of PV
and Villa Suzannah hasn't quite worn off yet. Ah, those days on the
patio, soaking in the pool, drinking margaritas. Everything was
great. Alonso is a delightful person and a great cook; Lupita was
pleasant, efficient and helpful, as were Russell and Daniel.

No complaints. Thanks for making this wonderful donation to Marin
Advocates for Children. We were lucky to "win" a week at your
beautiful villa.

Best regards,

Susan

To our friends at Villa Suzannah. Thank you for making our first wedding anniversary unforgettable...even the lightening storms were magical and romantic. Massages on the terrace during a warm rain, breath-taking ocean views and wonderful company. We felt like royalty.

The setting was exquisite and the food --- nothing less than fabulous, thank you Alonso, David, Lupita and Daniel. We can't wait to come back.

Jill & Matt - Thursday, June 28th, 2007 8:22 AM PDT
Matt and I rented Villa Suzannah for our wedding and honeymoon. The villa is gorgeous and views amazing. It was the perfect setting for our ceremony and reception -what a wonderful ambiance for a special occasion. The staff was great too - Enrique, Alonso and Lupita - we were so spoiled - and they were so kind and pleasant - made our trip most enjoyable! And finally, we have to rave about Alonso and his culinary skills - the food was awesome! We hope to return to Villa Suzannah in the future!

Jen, Steve, Marc, Kathy, - Wednesday, June 13th, 2007 8:16 AM PDT
What an amazing week! Alonso kept us satiated with his treasures from the kitchen. Rosy was a tremendous help with our outings - and a wonderful Spanish teacher. Daniel oversaw it all - with professionalism and his charming personality. Hector was about making sure all functioned well in your GORGEOUS home. David kept us with margaritas at hand. And Lupita saw to it that all was in order. Thank you for an incredible week! We're sure to return!

Sara and Mike - Friday, May 18th, 2007 9:43 AM PDT
We both agree that this is the best vacation we have ever had and it will probably be the best we ever will have. . .

Dee Adams - Friday, April 6th, 2007 4:14 PM PDT
Again, I'd like to say thanks for a wonderful stay. The boys spoil us rotten and every year we come back it gets even better. The renovations to the house are stunning and it is easily the most gorgeous house on the street. See you again same time next year. It was great to be able to celebrate Angel's birthday with him as he is a dear friend as well as Alonso. See you soon.

- Wednesday, March 21st, 2007 9:07 PM PDT
What a pleasure to share your slice of paradise complete with Angel, no less, and Alonzo who is such a good chef. Both of these young men added to our delight and comfort making us at ease as well. And Lupita is a quiet treasure. Your house staff strikes the perfect balance. We would (and hope to) return in the nearest possible future.

- Tuesday, March 20th, 2007 10:14 AM PDT
We cannot possibly say enough good things about how comfortable and luxurious our stay was at the Villa Suzannah this week in March. We loved the house! It was immaculate and exceedingly well-decorated and well-stocked with kitchen ware and towels galore. The weather was perfect for spending all day in the house's many outdoor seating areas, appreciating the grand views of the Mismaloya Bay. Angel and Alonso's culinary expertise made meal time the focal point of every day. Each dish was plated beautifully and tasted DELICIOUS (we especially liked the chili rellenos)! It was the most logistical-free and relaxing vacation we have taken as a whole family in memory! All made for a relaxing and comfortable visit. We will definitely rave to all our vacationing friends.

Hi Charlotte,
What a great time at Villa Suzannah. Thanks for checking in on us by phone. It was everything you said it would be. Great! Alonzo and Angel and Lupita were great staff. They were all tipped handsomely. We are thinking of dates for the next stay. When you get a chance, I would like to see the BEST of your smaller villas, if Denise and I just want to go ourselves. We would certainly want it to be as upscale as Suzannah. Suzannah is a redo if we can get everyone together again.
Best Regards, (clients)

Eric & Eleanor Seise - Monday, March 5th, 2007 12:29 PM PST
We were there form Jan 24th-31st, 2007 and had an absolutely AWESOME visit. The villa was beautiful and the views breathtaking. As hoteliers and frequent travelers we always stay in upscale hotels and resorts. After this visit we may never stay at another hotel again for vacations. Your staff, Alonso, Angel, and Lupita had great personalities and provided exemplary service. Alonso´s cooking was wonderful. I couldn´t get enough of his paella and ceviche and my husband even ate the leftover bruschetta for breakfast. . .the whole atmosphere in the pool area is very relaxing. We can´t wait for our next visit!

TERE - Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 1:07 PM PST
We had a wonderful time in villa suzannah, the service was excellent the house incredible and the cook Alonso and his helper Angel were so kind with our family and because of them we also gained a couple of pounds (but worth every one) made us feel very special. In fact we are from Baja, California Mexico and Alonso told us that we were their first Mexican family in Villa Suzannah. Our New Year party with our children and grandchildren will be unforgetable. I highly recomended this villa and alll the staff.

"Oh sure! Make us the guinea pigs, the road testers!! Yup, we had to put up with Easter color, parties, warm evening air, candle light dinners, beach lulling us to sleep and easing us into the morning. Someone has to do it! Thank you - you have supplied us both with a new marriage benchmark, shared together."

"So many trips, so many memories, we are truly blessed to have been led to Vallarta. . .This trip made special by a most surprising & exquisite 50th birthday celebration for. . .Imagine having your dream come true in the form of a personal mariachi serenade. I don't think we will ever forget the sound of three marvelous voices & guitars descending the stairs @ the villa! And that was just the tip of the iceburg . . .As the evening continued with friends, gourmet food at Trio, gifts and the ambiance of a special country called Mexico. Needless to say, we could go on & on about how beautiful & relaxing our time at the villa was. . .Now we can only hope to pass on the magic & mystery we found here to our community of friends.
!Buen Viaje! !Vaya con Dios!"
