We enjoyed our stay! The place is in a private and safe neighbourhood. Communication with the host was great. It was very spacious and we liked hanging out by the pool. We would happily stay again!

This place was wonderful, and exactly as described. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. It is worth getting a Geo coordinate / pin drop for Google maps. The address is something that Google seems to struggle with, or at least it did for us. Thankfully, the host was able to help us find the residence in this way immediately upon request.

Positives: A very large, beautiful and spacious house for large group of people. The rooms are big enough and comfortable bedding. Very secure location and beautiful environment. The outside with the pool at the top, large kitchen, great amenities. A Chef, José, at the top, who prepared good Mexican dishes for us. We had a power outage that was quickly resolved by the CFE. Stephanie and Eduardo are very responsive. Areas for improvement: More outdoor furniture, folding tables, and folding chairs. An easier to wring out mop, a laundry dryer to dry out our clothes. Lack of maintenance regulate: Leaking and unable to use air conditioning, better maintained stove, broken fan, broken blind, broken blind that we reported to Eduardo without any planned repair or replacement during our stay. Overall we had a great holiday thank you very much Stéphanie;)

Lovely Private Villa. Our family of 14 stayed there for 9 days. The home is very large with lots of space. The bedrooms are huge and comfortable and the large pool was fabulous especially on hot days. Stephanie was extremely accommodating and communicated promptly. She organized transports from the airport for us with Eduardo. All in all our stay at Casa de Bueno Vida (Home of the Good Life) was Amazing! Thank You Stephanie!

Very nice house! Very well located, in an enclosed, safe and very close to some of the main attractions. We were a group of 20 people and we were very comfortable. We were just missing a few forks and glasses.
