My husband and I stayed at Dulce Vida for a week in November 2012. We were staying at an all-inclusive for a wedding prior and were overjoyed to find this perfect spot afterwards. We really love luxury and exploring new places. This was that....a beautiful casa in a surprising and lovely city. (first time in PV) The all-inclusive was nice... More

As you approach this beautifull casa you'll maybe think your just not at the right place but don't let that fool you, you are about to enjoy... More

Casa Dulce Vida was the perfect place to stay.

We took the room in a heartbeat after seeing it! The 1500 sq ft... More

I would stay there again in a heart beat!! Thank you Shawnalee, Audrey and of... More
