Imagine a small village on gentle bay --
much like California's Monterey Bay.
But here the rush of traffic is absent
because the little village of Yelapa has no
roads and no cars.
Imagine a quiet cove set back from this
gentle bay.
A place where the unhurried pace allows
you to breathe deeply and forget your cares...

| Casa Santa Cruz is an intimate cluster of three rustic, yet comfortable palapa houses which can be rented individually or as a group. All casas are equipped with a full kitchen including four-burner stove, refrigerator and hot and cold running water. The largest casa, Casa Sol, has four full-size beds in separate sleeping areas. The bathroom includes a toilet made from river rock and a bathtub/shower. The spacious living area and kitchen downstairs looks over the water in a way that makes you feel like you are a boat at sea. Casa Luna, our honeymoon suite, has a romantic hanging bed upstairs with a spectacular view of the bay to wake up to. There is also a sitting area and a hammock built for two. Downstairs, there is a full-size bed and a twin with a kitchen and a bathroom. Newly remodelled Casa Estrella has three full-size beds in separate sleeping areas as well as a bathhouse in the upper levels, and a kitchen downstairs. |
Yelapa is located at the southern curve
of Mexico's beautiful Banderas Bay.
Water taxis, which depart several
times daily from Puerto Vallarta's
colorful Old Town, will deliver you nearly
to the door of Casas de Santa Cruz.
Ask to be let off at Playa Isabel.
