Excellent experience
All four of us really enjoyed our stay at this villa! The pool and the grounds were well taken care of. The maid & yard keeper did a fabulous job! The night raccoons made things interesting but we’re totally harmless. So the traffic is a bit noisy where this villa is located but the 7:15am leaf blower person at the resort next door was worse. Patty the property manager was super friendly, and responded quickly to any inquiries we had.

Great stay
Pool was fantastic. What a great way to entertain our two year old. And the water was warm. Of course would have loved less noise from the highway but this was as expected and was clearly mentioned in the other reviews. Overall we had a great time and I would gladly stay there again.

Beautiful Villa
We thoroughly enjoyed the villa. It was clean and well cared for. The pool was an added bonus. The property manager was great to deal with as was the pool lady and the cleaning lady. We enjoyed the wildlife and we also listened to the beautiful birds singing. We even managed to see a few hummingbirds and an iguana…..right up our alley! We only had one complaint and it is no fault of the host. Since we live in the country, we are used to lots of quiet. We found the road noise to be bothersome for us.

Awesome Stay
Property was as described, pool was great, all the space, especially with an infant was necessary. Property manager and cleaner was responsive. Different than being in the US, but in a fun way. Master bath was outside which was unique, but enjoyable. Let's address the main topic in comments. Maybe I am a city/suburb person but the noise was not relevant. If not for being aware of previous comments I would not have even noticed the traffic. I was with my daughter, her five year old and one year old. I would have liked being near more dining options, but the resort across the street had a reasonably priced menu and access to the beach. Being with young children we had everything we needed. I would certainly stay here again!

Beautiful outdoor space
We stayed at this location for one week in March. It was good to have three bathrooms along with the three bedrooms. The pool was warm and the outdoor patio was just lovely. Needed to communicate with owner on how to work the oven and the response was immediate....much appreciated. Check in was a breeze with Paty there to greet us and take us through the house and explain everything to us. Bus stop was mere steps from the property so we were easily able to get into town or out to Boca. The beach was easy access...just across the road and past the resort Road noise was the only issue. Unfortunately with a speed bump nearby the big trucks were either using their jake breaks to slow down going one way or gearing up going the other. If it had just been car noise it would have been no issue at all.

The perfect family retreat
Amazing stay for our family of five, with all the amenities we could ask for. The house is well kept, with tons of room, and beautiful outdoor living space. The private pool is a welcome reprieve from muggy afternoons, and the palapa outside makes for awesome al fresco dining. The house is secluded, but is only a few minutes away from the PV romantic zone or Mismaloya by car, taxi, or the very economical bus, which stops only a few steps away. There are several great beaches within walking distance, but our favorite is a 3 minute walk across the street at Garza Blanca, where despite there being a luxury hotel, the incredible beach is not busy, and we often had it to ourselves. The nearby river offers hiking trails to a waterfall (actually a bunch if you are willing to scramble a bit) but there are many great swimming holes along the way that make for a great picnic spot in a picturesque jungle setting. Our children enjoyed time on the river just as much as visitng the beaches. We didn't expeience any issues with the house, but the property manager and owner are super easy to get in touch with if anything were to come up. The caretaker staff that do visit regularly are kind and helpful. If granite countertops and room service are your thing, PV has many great places to offer, but if you are looking for homey relaxation and authentic Mexican charm, I highly recommend Casa Zafiro for your holiday!

Disappointing vacation
We arrived at the property to learn that the washing machine was broken, (it was fixed a few days later), that the house was only about 15 feet from a very busy highway with speed bumps close by resulting in screeching trucks and vehicles all day and night. The pool is described as chilly…it was freezing and mostly in the shade as was the lovely courtyard. We swam in it only twice. The open areas in the main floor bedroom bathroom and on staircase allowed animals into the main living area. The host resolved this by having the maintenance man affix a lock on the door leading to the upstairs bedrooms but nothing was done about the bathroom. Animals still got in. The host also purchased some fresh towels and coffee mugs during our stay. Kitchen is fairly well stocked but many pot lids were broken and utensils needed replacing. We felt that the house was overpriced at 4500 Canadian dollars for 3 weeks. We will not be staying here again.

Mexican Charm
Casa Zaphiro is oozing Mexican charm. Details bring you to a Casa full of Mexican art, ornaments and structure. With all the amenities of home, it is a complete stay either short or long term. The greenery is impressive, with many different plant species. The lobster claw flowers emit such an incredible fragrance, you will fade away at the scent.If you enjoy a cold pool, and more shade than sun, it is an oasis. The Palaya is a skip across the street, which can be noisy at times, but you soon do not even hear the road noise. We felt safe at all times. We did experience the local “raccoons” however, they are harmless and just looking for food. Just do not leave any food around. The scenery is mind blowing and peaceful. The mountains behind and the ocean in front, the jungle surrounds you. The morning roosters, and birds bring contentment and peace to start your day. Love this property for its originality, just wish the pool was heated. As when the ocean gets angry, or a swim at the end of the day would have made our stay “perfect” Whether you are a couple or a family, there is plenty of room , and private space for everyone. The property is authentic, so don’t expect new furniture or appliances. It is someone’s home and feels like your home away from home.

Awesome Getaway
Our stay here was so lovely we were already planning our next trip before we had left! Paty, the property manager is very kind and helpful. She was available throughout our stay for any questions. The pool was awesome! Lots of reviews said the pool was in the shade the whole time and that it was too cold to use. Maybe it was just the time of year, but we wished the pool was colder and there was more shade!

30th Bday Trip
Had an amazing time at Villa Zafino! Our travel party was in the pool every day, and cooked together every night. The staff were all very helpful, kind and accommodating—gave great recommendations on beaches to go to and fun night life. The property manager was very responsive and attentive as well. Will absolutely be booking this villa again for our next PV trip. One note is that Ubers have a bit of a hard time finding the property and Uber eats won’t deliver out here, but taxis are always across the street. Loved the quiet neighborhood and privacy this location afforded as opposed to staying in town! Muchos gracias!!

Lovely Villa
This Villa was an authentic experience in Mexico. The decorations were colourful, the roosters in the morning and a few Coatis roaming around. It was an exciting experience but fun. The pool was excellent- we couldn't get my daughter out of it, the air conditioning was handy, and the beds were a bit firm for my liking, but my husband didn't mind them. As it is right by the road, you can hear the noise, but it feels secluded, and I really didn't mind it. The owner and property manager were speedy to reply when I asked them any questions. We would rent it again.

An experience with nature
In the mornings, birds like Calandrias, hummingbirds, and butterflies fill up the gardens and chirp to wake you up. The Sun hours are good to suntan by the pool and in the afternoon the Green Parrots pass by to announce the evening where friendly tejones pass by looking for food

Lovely, peaceful home!
Overall, we really loved staying at Debra's property! It was clean, well-stocked, and the flora and fauna around the pool area made us feel like we were in a very special little piece of paradise all our own. The beds were a little firmer than we'd prefer, but we all slept well, I think due to the relaxing setting. The service from the pool man and housekeeper were terrific - very nice people! Our only complaint (it's a small one!) is that it seems that it's been quite some time since the description was updated. The listing says that there's an ocean view, but other than a slice between two buildings, there isn't one. Honestly, we would stay again even without the ocean view. I think the foliage around the pool area has just grown with time and blocked the view. The other things to let you are that while the listing says that there are a few DVD's and paperback books, there are actually tons of both, which was a very happy surprise! Also, there are no photos on the listing of the bathrooms, and there really should be! They're amazing! The master bath has an open air tub that was really fun to use, and the bathrooms upstairs have very deep tubs and lots of plants. Is it possible to find the perfect vacation bathrooms? It is here! Thank you to Debra and her team for a wonderful stay. We'll be back! p.s. Just a heads up - we thought we'd be able to order from Uber Eats or another service when we didn't want to go into town, but the house is a little too far and they don't service the area. Just a minor inconvenience, but important to know if you plan to spend a lot of time in this beautiful home.

Beautiful setting for a family vacation.
Our family of five with three small children enjoyed every minute of our recent stay at Casa Zafiro. There is tonnes of space for everyone, and the huge patio and pool make it feel like you're living at your own tropical resort. Just across the street is an incredible beach that is very safe for children, and many more amazing activities are just a short bus or taxi ride away. The property host is incredibly gracious and easy to communicate with, and the staff that maintain the property are kind and unobtrusive. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything that you need, and the laundry machines are a huge asset, especially when visiting with children. If you're the adventurous type, there is a variety of amazing activities, sights, and cuisine, all withing a few minutes. If you prefer to relax in seclusion, you can stock the fridge and enjoy the laid-back vibe of this authentic Mexican casa with indoor/outdoor living. Our family felt very fortunate to enjoy Casa Zafiro for our vacation, and hope to return. again.
