Thanks Gina!
I think I speak for everyone, (including gwen) when I say we had a blast! It was so relaxing and a joy to take in all the nature and natural beauty that surrounded us. Tina made some really delicious meals everyone was overwhelmed.
You did an AMAZING job with the house. Loved it!
Michele, said it was one of her best vacation to date. Rubi, who's traveled extensively kept saying this is beautiful, she said it so much she finally said, "you'd think i'd never left my neighborhood!"
Barry has already sent me the name of a friend who wants me to put together a vacation for them. You're at the top of my list, actually your the only option on the list.
I was telling my brother we should bring our mom down sometime in October or November.
I know we were trying this trip, my apologies for the constant calling but thanks for everything!
Much love,
Sam
I truly enjoyed my stay at the villa. Such a relaxing environment, nature all around you and to see the butterflies (constantly) and the birds made this such a relaxing vacation for me. I've been to Mexico before and would have to stay if I were to return, i definitely would stay at the villa instead of a hotel. The cooks, the prompt cleaning of the rooms made me feel like a star on vacation. The decor added to the essence of the atmosphere the entire time. I would definitely return and definitely recommend.

Casa Familia
Hi Gina,
Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. I have thought of you several times over the last few weeks. I want you to know how very much we appreciated your kindness during our stay a Casa Familia, Puerto Aventuras VDM B304. As you know we were traveling with a group of 11 family's from Minnesota. Just as you said, Puerto turned out to be the perfect spot for such a large group! There was something to do for all the ages, from swimming in the beautiful pool, walking the beach, body surfing and simply sun tanning it was perfect. The town of Puerto was safe and had fun little shops. While we were there the kids swam with the Dolphins and were most excited that 2 baby dolphins were born during our stay! The restaurants did an amazing job, on any given night they found a way to seat a group of 30 or more. The service and food at all the restaurants was good but everyone seemed to like the Italian restaurant the best. On the last night a new restaurant opened called SISISI or CICICI (Can't remember) The food was very good but to be honest the portions and all the extras were too much. I felt guilty looking at all the food going to waste.The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was nice.
What can I say about Casa Familia. It by far was the nicest unit in all that we saw in Puerto! The unit is so beautifully decorated that I wished I could take you home to decorate my home! It was so clean and the quality of the furniture and bedding is top of the line! The upper back patio is a vacation by its self. The other families were all in love with our unit and everyone couldn't believe how nice everything in our unit was! I smile thinking of all the little touches that made our unit special, candles, beautiful towels, a fridge with welcome treats, art work and most of all you Gina. From the first time I called about the unit and during our trip you made it perfect. I would recommend Casa Familia to anyone! We were truly spoiled by the owners to be able to rent this beautiful home. We are hoping to get back again next year and there is no place we would rather stay than Casa Familia! Thanks for being amazing Gina!

Gina,
We loved Casa Familia!! Our favorite spot was the back palapa. It was like having a second living space out side! This was our third year in PA and by far this was our favorite unit! We will be back. Thanks for sharing your Beautiful condo.

Gina: Happy New Year to you. I just wanted to thank you for setting up our vacation. We really enjoyed Puerto Aventuras. We hope to return sometime next year...I will let you know as soon as I do what dates work well.
Take care,

Happy New Year Gina!
We had an unbelievable relaxing time and enjoyed the condo and the beautiful surroundings and all its offerings! We would like to come back sometime real soon as we loved the privacy vs. staying at an actual resort with numerous people. We really wanted to get away from it all and it truly was perfect, just what the "doctor ordered". I am first showing some of my pictures off and may have some referrals for you for their next vacation.... Thank you again Gina for the flowers, wine, chocolates and all your assistance in making our trip so memorable!

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the best vacation EVER! I think I can speak for everyone when I say we enjoyed every aspect of our SamanthaStyles Excursion. You, your staff and the chef you referred were all spectacular.
Our one regret, we didn't pay the chef for dinner as we never had a reason to leave the villa. We thought we would want to get out and into the city when the sun went down, however, that was not the case. It is rare to find a place with so much beauty and so much comfort all in one place.
I am already planning our return trip for next year.
Gina we love ya!!!!

Hello Gina:
It has been a week since we ended our vacation at Hacienda del Mar with Samanthastyles Excursions. I just wanted to take the opportunity to tell you that we had an absolutely FABULOUS time. I have managed to make all of my friends extremely jealous over the last several days. My friends envy the fact that we enjoyed every bit of Hacienda del Mar: the endless days in the pool, the relaxing naps on the patio, group dinners at night and the overall spaciousness and relaxing naturee of the villa.
Thanks from Atlanta and I'm sure I'll see you again soon!!!

Hi Gina,
I am writing to you from work, in case you don't recognize this name. Wanted to let you know that we had a positively fabulous time. Tell Ginna and Charlie that the place is wonderful - I wouldn't change a thing! We have been recommending it to people... my mom, hairdresser and friend are very interested... so who knows!
Thanks for everything. All the information that you provided certainly helped us to make the most of our vacation. The restaurants in the marina were fantastic. Salinas was the best. The grounds were kept immaculate, and even though we were the only family staying there for the entire week, everybody still made sure that everything was kept clean on the grounds, pool cleaned, etc. We met Jack (partner of Trebol) and Roy and Gail next door, the day before we left, all lovely people also.
Vinny made a slide show of our photos and added music to it, and everytime we look at it, we can hear the sound of the ocean in the background and remember our evenings out on the terrace, listening to the music and the ocean. By the way, we had a full moon while we were there and the moonlight on the water was picture perfect!
Thanks for helping us create a memorable vacation. We hope to return.

Gina,
Sorry we didn't see more of you but I guess you have to work now and then. We loved the place and will definitely recommend it to our friends. It was an added bonus to have a Canadian Satellite feed on the TV so I could watch hockey games and our local news.
Thanks for all your help!!

Hi Gina,
Our vacation was wonderful! Casa Familia was absolutely perfect for our family. Plenty of space, very tastefully furnished, with all the amenities of home. The beds were very comfortable, too. We all slept very well. The weather was great for us and the pool and the breeze from the beach were just perfect for keeping us comfortable. We were happy to find that the pool was never crowded and there was never a noise problem. We also enjoyed Puerto Aventuras and all the restaurants and shops by the dolphins. We ate at a different restaurant every night, and to me Gringo Dave's was the best.
We did a couple of tours including zip-lining in Selvatica, and the Tulum ruins. Both experiences were very worthwhile. I know the kids' favorite was the zip-line tour, especially the part at the end when we swam in the cenotes and they zip-lined and jumped in (about a 30 ft jump). I just enjoyed the fresh, cool water and how beautiful it was. There were a lot more tours and excursions that we could have done, but the kids thought the best thing was just hanging out by the pool and beach, so that's what we did.
I was a little nervous because I had set this up over the internet, but we couldn't have been happier. It was even better than the pictures! Villas del Mar was definitely the right spot for us and I'd love to come back to this very same condo someday.
Thank you so much for everything and I'm so glad I got to meet you. I'll keep you in mind for future vacations, and recommend you to my friends who may want to vacation in Mexico.
Thanks again,
Kathy Hresko from MN
Hi Gina,
Yes we're back to reality. Our trip was fantastic! PA is gorgeous and we all would love to go back. While we were there we were saying "what negative thing can you say about this place?" and there really is nothing. The beach, the pool, the units are all outstanding. Like we discussed when you came to visit, the restaurants in PA could use a little work. The pub was our personal favorite and seemed to be quite consistent. Next time I would probably rent a car and split the cost between us. You do spend a bit of money while you're there on transportation if you want to go anywhere. If we ate out we'd likely leave PA. Fishing was fun. We caught a sail fish.
I was so grateful for the help you gave us while we were there and it was just plain nice meeting you. I'm sure we'll talk to you again if we can save enough money to go back (time to pay-off the VISA now, Yuk!). If you're ever in Vancouver look us up and we'll be your guides. Take care.

Dear Gina,
I wanted to let you know how greatly I appreciated all you did to insure we had such a wonderful time on our trip! You made it go smoothly and stress free - thank you!!
Your suggestions and things you lined up were extremely helpful. The trip couldn't have been such a success if not for you. Thank you for setting things up with Antonio and recommending his services. The drivers were great, the Coba tour, and the dolphin experience. He did a excellent job and was a pleasure to work with and visit with. The day we left, he told me you had called him on a Sunday to see if he had seen us, because "someone" said they hadn't seen us for a few days!! Thank you very much, Gina. It meant a lot to me that you did that and to just know people were "heads up". Please thank whomever called you from me. Please greet Antonio from me.
We loved our condo, the grounds, the beach, the kind gentleman who worked at night, and all your special touches. To arrive and find your note and the candy, was very impressive. Thank you.
Our place was so clean and that made me very happy, too.
Everyone we spoke to regarding you (how we found out about PA) sang your praises. They each said how wonderful you are... FYI.
The young men that work at Cafe Cafe were wonderful. They spoke so highly of you and they were trustworthy and just true good young men. Nacho was very helpful one night after our bad experience at The Pub. It was nice to see them each day; although, Nacho went home for a couple of days and we didn't get to say goodbye to him. We loved the food there and the coffee. We also loved Tirami Su - the food and the service.
Again, thank you very very much for all you did. It was a pleasure to meet you and do business with you. I hope I will be able to pass on business to you.
Sincerely,
Nancy from MN
Hi Gina,
I had a great time, and the location of the condos was absolutely perfect. Not only was the location great, but both units were wonderful...decoration and amenities were fabulous! Your guidebook before arrival was also very helpful, and working with you was a pleasure. Looking forward to coming back again!
