Three couples traveled to Neuvo Vallarta and enjoyed two weeks of paradise in Daniel's fabulous condo. His unit is one of the larger ones at Villa Magna and in the best building. We felt very safe at this gated community where the security guards in front were very helpful with getting us cabs. There were many restaurants within walking distance and cab rides were very inexpensive -- no need for a rental car. The description and photos of this unit are absolutely accurate -- what you see is what you get. Each couple had our own ensuite bathroom, and there was a still 1 and a half extra bathrooms -- no waiting! The fourth bedroom is used like an office which gave us a place to charge phones, tablets, etc. Beds were super comfortable. There were lots of towels and 1 or 2 beach towels for each person. Having a washer and dryer in our condo meant we could pack light and do the occasional load of laundry. The kitchen was roomy. Lots of counter space, plenty of dishes and glasses. Lots of pots, pans, casserole dishes and even plastic storage containers for leftovers. There were some extra paper products and the biggest roll of plastic wrap that I have ever seen! Not all rentals provide these sorts of things and it was much appreciated. The living area was great -- two good sized leather couches, a large coffee table, large tv (with limited cable stations) and a big table with seating for 8. Plus a big balcony with more table space and a grill. We had access to several pools, with enough loungers that we could always find one. The beach is fantastic -- Sandy, not rocky. Calm waters. Easy to go for long walks and look for shells. While it was possible for us to purchase a day pass at Dreams, we did not do this. We already had access to the pools and the beach. We had a great snack bar that is not part of the Dreams all-inclusive. And it is so inexpensive to eat at the local restaurants that we did not really consider paying for access to the Dreams restaurants. We were very happy to see that Villa Magna has bins for recycling. Favorite restaurants (either within walking distance or short cab ride): La Dolce Vita, Fajita Republic, Dinamite, Riviera Grille, Blue Shrimp, Sonora Sur, and 3X3 for breakfast. We went into Puerto Vallarta for two evenings and also enjoyed restaurants there and The Malecon, all decorated for the Dia de Muerte. Thanks to Daniel and his property manager (Pliar) for taking care of us -- we hope to return!

We really enjoyed our vacation in Nuevo Vallarta. The Condo was great!! We were two families, 4 adults and 4 children, we all had a great time. Everything in the condo was in great shape, we had a some trouble with cable TV channels, other than that, everything worked perfect and you have all you can need. We even had a barbecue on the terrace, and enjoyed the view. Beach is beautiful, clean sand, and we always found a place to cover from the sun, both in the swimming pool area and on the beach front. There is a place for massages in a resort which is a couple of buildings to the right (looking at the beach), at unbelievable prices and really good!! I don't remember the name, but if you walk 5 minutes or less on the beach you will see the sign outside the resort. Thank's Daniel for everything!!!

Fantastic clean condo, great location, couldn't have been better. We (5 ladies) found the condo completely enjoyable and so well stocked for our 11 day vacation. Everything you need is there. The pool, the beach, the grounds, lovely and clean. The location to shopping is great, 25 min. walk on the beach to Paradise Mall, a 10 min. cab ride to Bucerias. Thank you Daniel for all your helpful info and for providing such a well looked after condo. A return vacation is a must.

FANTASTIC CONDO! My two daughters and their families (three children ages 2, 5 and 7) and I rented this beautiful condo for a week during our spring break and enjoyed every second of our time there! To start with, when I first contacted Daniel about renting this unbelievable unit, he was so helpful and pleasant to talk to. When we checked into the unit, we were all so impressed by everything. The unit is beautiful and luxurious and is decorated and furnished as a designer home. It is kept in top notch and pristine condition and is immaculate! It has everything a person could possibly need or want to make you feel at home and relaxed. The unit is spacious, the beds are very comfortable, the linens are exceptional and abundant and the kitchen is very well equipped with anything you might need. The artwork is very beautiful – we loved it. The view is amazing and the patio furniture is wonderful - we loved the deck! There were boogie boards and beach toys for the children – so great that Daniel provided them. Daniel sent emails to make sure everything was going well during our stay. Our days were spent on the beautiful beach or at one of the gorgeous pools. The service at the Villa Magna condo entrance is very efficient and they are friendly and eager to assist. The staff at the hotel is second to none. We chose to purchase the all-inclusive bracelet for the entire time we were there and felt that it was very worthwhile for the excellent food and service we received. The resort is kept very tidy and clean. They definitely take very good care of their guests. However, if you would like to prepare your meals, there is everything you need and more in the condo and a barbecue on the spacious deck. There is very good shopping at Sunset Market in Paradise Village. We have stayed at Villa Magna on several occasions in the past six years, but this is by far the best condo that we have rented and we look forward to returning soon. Thank you, Daniel, for sharing your beautiful home and making this a wonderful vacation for all of us. We will definitely be back!

From meeting Daniel at the door (great explanation of everything) to leaving 7 days later is was Just SIMPLY AMAZING!! we have rented Condo's many times in Villa Magna and Daniels unit has been the best so far! From simple things like storage containers for extra food, to Boogie boards, to lots of towels, to a great BBQ, and great couch's, and best of all, VERY GOOD BEDS..

Our stay in Villa Magna, Daniel's unit was absolutely fantastic. We were a family of 4 (two adults with 5 year old twins) and enjoyed every minute of it. Before arriving, communication with Daniel was easy and very pleasant with quick response times. Upon arriving, we were blown away with the beauty of the condo. We have actual stayed in exact same floor plan in different tower 5 years ago and decor and cleanliness and view of Daniel's condo was unparalleled. Everything you could possibly need was there. Daniel even made sure to email the next day to make sure that everything was OK. Check in instructions were great, to the point of telling you what button to push in elevator and where to turn. Decorations were beautiful, beds were super comfortable, plenty of towels. Everything from dishes to furniture was high quality. We also loved keypad entry so we didn't have to worry about forgetting or losing keys. Place was more than spacious for the 4 of us so we purposely chose to lock off part of the condo as there was no reason for kids to run into it and mess up when we didn't need it. If you stay there, please treat place as if it were own -- turn off water, turn off lights, turn off AC when not in room so Daniel can continue to offer his place to others. We will definitely be back and hope to get Daniel's condo again! Resort itself is very nice as well but we spent most of our time on the beach and then enjoying evenings in the condo. We would like to venture out more but kids are still pretty young and place was too beautiful to leave.

Really nice and comfortable condo, great views... I totally recommend it!

My wife and I plus our 4 children recently spent an absolutely wonderful 2 weeks in Daniel's condo which proved to not only be MORE than spacious enough for 6 of us (considering the kids age ranges 5 to 20) but also felt like home! We arrived to a clean, well kept place that had everything needed (minus the food). The furnishings were very nice yet kid friendly so we didn't worry about having to constantly watch our 5 year old. The mornings on the balcony presented you with cool ocean breeze, sounds of waves and birds chirping while the evenings presented some of the most stunning sunsets. The pools were awesome!! They were clean, never crowded, and a pleasant break from the gorgeous HOT sunny weather. The personnel that worked for the Dreams Resort were extremely friendly and always willing to assist you (as a renter). The food/drink Cabana located by the pools (not part of the "All Inclusive") served delicious food and great drinks. We ate out quite often (pretty much every night) and loved our walks to the local restaurants in the area. The few times we did take a taxi the cost was minimal (avg. 70 Peso). The local people were very friendly and we always felt safe. The beach was clean and the local vendors were very nice. We often walked the beach in the mornings (sand was much cooler) and just enjoyed the beauty that Nuevo had to offer. This was the first time any us had been to NV, Mexico and WE DID OT WANT TO LEAVE!! I would recommend anyone that is looking for a truly relaxing vacation with AWESOME accommodations to contact Daniel.

This was our first visit to the Casa de LaVoie and we really enjoyed it! The condo was spacious and when you open the patio doors, you feel like you are right on the ocean. The sunset views were stunning! We loved that everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms and that we were able to do laundry and cook in whenever we wanted. The pools were never too crowded and the beach out front was secluded and clean. We had an amazing time and quite honestly, we didn't want to leave! Thank you LaVoie family. We loved the personal note from your child on the bedroom mirror!

My husband and I have visited many places in Mexico and we have to say that this is the very best spot we have found! The beauty in Daniel's condo is that it is spacious, well appointed and the art is lovely. The deck with the ocean view....sunsets every night....makes it hard to leave this paradise so you may find yourselves cooking in more than you thought! The Dreams resort on the premises is a nice add on because you have access to their many pools and can buy into the all inclusive for any 24 hour period. The really unusual aspect is that this location is not super busy at Spring Break so you are not competing for pool loungers. A highlight for us is the eight mile beach which is totally walkable. Even better is the boogie boarding which we loved doing with two 22-year-olds! I would keep this place a secret and am only telling you about it because my husband is waiting for hip surgery so sadly we cannot book this time next year. You will be smart and lucky if you do!

Daniel's condo blew away all of our expectations!!! Very spacious, extremely clean and the best sunset we have ever seen from the balcony. Having the condo situated on the same grounds as a resort made the trip even more intriguing since we were able to buy all inclusive passes to enjoy the resorts wonderful restaurants and bars. This has been a very unforgettable vacation and we will be staying here again for sure in the near future.

We stayed at Daniel's condo from Dec 5-12. Everything was amazing just as everyone else said it would be. We couldn't have been happier that we booked this condo. The condo was beautiful, clean and had everything you would need and more. The views, grounds, and beach were amazing. I found myself sitting outside on the deck for hours. We are hoping to go back but stay for longer next time. We bought the 24 hour pass and enjoyed the pool service and all the great food. Its a very nice option to have and was worth it. You definitely won't be disappointed with this condo!

Fantastic condo----- views, accommodations, proximity to pool, beach, area restaurants, airport! Work out well for my family with everyone having their own space!

We just returned from a 2 week vacation staying at Daniel's property. His condo was wonderful. Great location and everything you would ever need was provided. The views were outstanding and plenty of room for our guests. We would like to thank Daniel for a incredible opportunity to stay at his place. We will definitely be back. Linda L.

My husband and I stayed with our 15 year old son and his friend for 2 weeks in Daniel's condo from March 12- 26/14. We enjoyed our stayed and the online pictures did not do the condo justice. The condo was well maintained and very clean (even for my standards). We have stayed at several condos at Villa Magna and this condo by far exceeded our expectations and is our favorite. We look forward to staying again soon. You wont be disappointed!

this condo is the perfect condo.the view is extraordinary.it is very clean.the set up of villa magna is fantastic if you do not want to cook.The beach is clean and long The condo is sound proof.There are many security peoples on the property It is situated at only 20 minutes from the airport

We recently stayed at Daniel's condo and would definitely book again. The pictures are exactly what the condo looked like, very clean and well maintained. What you don't see are all the extras you get - a fully equipped kitchen with plenty of cutlery, dishes, glassware, cookware, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, food wrap, towels, etc. The wireless internet signal was strong and reliable and the TV had lots of English speaking channels to choose from. There were a couple of boogey boards in the unit and lots of towels to take to the pool/beach. We played tennis at the Dreams Hotel next door. This stretch of beach is the best in Nuevo Vallarta for long walks, boogey boarding, swimming, beach volleyball, and if you're lucky enough you would have the chance to release baby turtles at sunset. We loved sitting on the deck and people watch! It was a little noisy one night but it might be from the Wedding Reception taking place next door at Dreams. Walking distance to lots of great restaurants like Fajita Republic and Insu Skybar at Marival Residence. We love Villa Magna and were so lucky that Daniel's place was available for us and we would definitely recommend this condo to our friends! Daniel made the booking process very easy using paypal and emailing the signed documents. When we vacated and left the condo in good order, we received our deposit back within a day or so.

Thanks! we spend some really great vacations, everything was PERFECT!! the apartment, the views in the evening, the swimming pool, the beach, the service, the location, etc... you just want to stay there all day. I'm living in Mexico so I have had the opportunity to visit Vallarta a couple of times and I highly recommend Daniels condo, it is just wonderful. Daniel, thank so much for all your support.

Our family of 6 adults enjoyed Daniel's condominium so much! It is beautiful, comfortable, & relaxing. The condo & the grounds are clean & well-maintained. Daniel was very helpful answering all my questions while planning the trip. Having the Dreams Resort on premise was convenient, too. We took advantage of their all-inclusive day passes for part of our vacation & certainly enjoyed the convenience of that (the food was better than I expected), but we also took a cab ride to the nearby grocery store and stocked up on food & drink supplies for the condo. It was wonderful to wake up in the morning and sit out on the balcony with my coffee taking in the gorgeous view. Daniel: Fajitas Republic was wonderful, just as you said it would be! Thank you for all your help. We had a wonderful family vacation!

Superb panoramic view of the pacific, sunset. Directly on the beach where you can walk miles. Spacious condo with all the necessaries. I personnaly rented the condo over 20 times for the last 3 years. Can t wait to go back.

It was unanimous we felt the condo was spacious, well appointed, tastefully decorated in a very nice location. The morning and evening views are wonderful, i think we all felt the Terrace was the most used and enjoyed by all. If there are anything missing, it would only be options for cooking. As the pots and pans were limited. Access to the amenities of Villa Magna was a nice addition. It is a nice resort, great for kids and still have quick access to the beach. There was activity in the evenings that was nice to take part. It did tend to have some level of noise, but did interrupt or continue late in the evening. I would say overall this is an excellent condo, with great amenities, quality views and accommodations. Thank you for sharing this great property with us.

We stayed at this spectacular condo for a full month and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The rooms are all very large and bright, very well furnished and tastefully decorated. The unit is very clean and offers all the equipment one may need to cook your own meals in the gourmet kitchen. The view from the balcony is breathtaking, overlooking the ocean and the many pools of the complex. The huge balcony is where we spent most of our evenings, watching the ever changing sunsets. The beach in this area is extremely clean and goes on forever. All pools in the complex are very well maintained. There are several grocery stores nearby as well as a number of good restaurants. While the services offered by the adjoining Dreams resort are available, the 7th floor location of this unit makes it very quiet and private.

I loved it ! I went to Villa Magna twice (February 2011 and march 2012). The condo is perfect, exceeded our expectation. It is comfortable, spacious and well decorated. The place is fantastic! The kitchen is well equip, it contains everything a good cook would need to create delicious meals. A BBQ is available. You can buy groceries, wine and beer at the supermarket nearby. The condo is also perfect if you want to relax. Great view from the balcony. It's very easy to get around by walking, bus or taking cab. Very good restaurants nearby. Recommended !
