"Our three nights at Bahia Bonita were wonderful! It was only a 3 minute walk from the water taxi pier to the property. We were pleased to be met at the pier by staff who helped carry our luggage. The view of the bay and beach is incredible, and you can hear the water all night, regardless of which room you’re in. Our unit had a partial ocean view off of the balcony, but we only had to go down the steps and sit on the large Deck area overlooking the water… There are tables, chairs, and lounge chairs there for guest use… It is an amazing spot to hang out, play cards, etc. our unit had a kitchenette with stove and small refrigerator, plates, utensils, etc., but no microwave or oven. There is plenty of fresh drinking water available outside the unit. Very friendly staff that greeted us at check-in…. it only took two minutes and we were on the way to our room with key. There are a lot of steps, but very well worth it as long as you are in decent shape. Oh, I forgot to mention the small infinity pool it also has the same incredible view. There are the typical beach restaurants about a 7 minute walk across the sand.. Walking to the village is an additional 10–15 minute walk, with more steps. Village has a few more places to eat, and a few small grocery stores. We definitely hope to return to Casa Bahia Bonita!"

"We loved the patio. Perfect place to do yoga, watch birds and the sunrise hits the patio directly which is amazing in the morning. The bed was comfortable and the host(s) are very responsive. The house is up on the hill, but it only takes 5-10 minutes to walk into town. Yelapa has lots going on at night and can be loud, we found the location of this house to be located perfectly as it is close to town but far enough away that you're not surrounded by it. We would definitely stay again!"

"Amazing hosts , great meals, privacy and tranquility. A perfect place to relax and recharge. The owners are thoughtful and kind. The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the beach and town. "

"Had a great time staying with Rich! Beautiful place, friendly people and a great bar on-site! If you ever go to Yelapa this is the best place to stay!"

"I had an excellent stay at Casa Camilla. 'Big up' mention to Rich, Juanita and Daniel for all their great help.. Good area for hiking."

"Awesome grounds, setting, and pool. Friendly staff Good food. An wonderful place to relax, swim, and stroll the beach. We will be back"

"We loved this property but recognize the steep walk up and 55 steps down to our room might not be for everyone. It was just fine for us because the only noise was the sound of waves against the rocks below our room. Also, communication was excellent for us due to problems with Expedia but our hostess patient and helpful. The rooftop patio was lovely with great views of the harbour. The apartment was spacious with very comfortable furniture. "

"Casa Gratitud was a beautiful reprieve and place to relax while enjoying the Mexican Bay of Banderas in the quaint fishing village of Yelapa. The house sits well above the coast affording a view that never grows old with whales spouting and playing almost every day. The landscaping surrounding the home is beautiful, blending in with the natural, lush landscape of palm trees, banana trees, and other rainforest type vegetation. The three levels of the home made for just the right amount of space for a family to spread out and not feel cramped, but the main living area was where we could hang out all together very comfortably. The patio provided outdoor seating for dining and games, but the kitchen bar was convenient for grabbing quick breakfasts and snacks. The kitchen was clean and stocked well enough for us to eat almost all of our breakfasts in the house, as well as to prepare two meals. (The food in Yelapa was wonderful too, however, so preparing meals is not completely necessary.)Although the weather was cloudy and not as warm as we had hoped for, Casa Graditud saved the trip, making our family vacation memorable, relaxing, and beautiful!
