We had looked at a different hotel in the same price range and the difference in quality and space was unbelievable.Casa Dulce Vida was a couple of blocks from the Malecon and a few blocks from the Romantica Zone - so it was a perfect location. We took the room in a heartbeat after seeing it! The 1500 sq ft... More

Dulce Vida is a rare gem in the wonderful old town of Puerto Vallarta! Only a couple of blocks from the Melecon and beach, it is an oasis of friendly service and lovely, clean rooms in a funky casa with a beautiful pool and view. I would stay there again in a heart beat!! Thank you Shawnalee, Audrey and of... More

My wife and I stayed here for two weeks at the beginning of Dec 2010. We originally had the rooftop casa, but the stairs up and down were not to our liking, nor was the construction going on adjacent to Dulce Vida. So, Shawnalee gave us another room which was perfect. There is a bird across the street that squawks... More

I looked on TripAdvisor for a B&B in Old Town PV and came across Dulce Vida. In my opinion, this property should be at #1. My experience from the moment I contacted the owner to the minute I left, was superb. Audrey was very friendly, informative and accommodating prior to arrival. Once we arrived, we were greeted with a warm... More

Audrey, Lee and Chawnalee were the perfect hosts. They immediately made us feel welcome, were there whenever we needed anything but also respected our space and privacy. Audrey kindly got us settled in our room on arrival and left us to enjoy her own special home-made guacamole and cool drinks. We were impressed with Dulce Vida's design and layout -... More

I stayed there with my girlfriend in March just as the madness of Spring Break was coming to an end. Despite being less than a 5 minute walk from the Malecon, we felt a million miles away from the bright lights and parties booming below once back at the Casa. The rooms are very spacious with all having access to... More

My family and I have been vacationing here for over 12 years. Chawnalee and the staff are amazing, very professional and always go above and beyond. We have been to mexico numerous times over the years, but we keep coming back to Casa Dulce Vida for the one-of-a-kind experience it offers. The architecture and high ceilings are breathtaking. The rooms... More

Our 4th stay here after trying another place in downtown area. We'll never stay any other place in PV. Everything that you want is right here: peacefulness, cleanliness, friendliness, proximity to everything important and on and on. Owners/operators (Lee, Audrey & daughter Chawnalee) are the perfect hosts looking after your every need and very familiar with everything Puerto Vallarta. We... More
