"Casa Kimberly isn’t so much a place to stay as it is a reason to visit Puerto Vallarta on its own. Its history, glamour, and exclusivity will leave you feeling like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the very movie stars who once called it home. The villa served as a place where they could romantically rendezvous out of the public eye. It’s the most notable destination in the trendy enclave of downtown Vallarta called “Gringo Gulch,” surrounded by beautiful houses built in Vallarta’s traditional style with whitewashed walls and red clay tile roofs. With only nine suites, it still feels like a private home today, but one equipped with a full staff ready to serve. Every suite is completely unique and lavish, though the 2,500 square-foot penthouse—Taylor’s former bedroom—takes the cake with its wraparound terrace, private pool and hot tub, and sprawling marble bathroom."
