About the host
Hosted by Francisco Ramos
Francisco and Chris are based in Los Angeles, where they run a wellness company called Zen Casa. Their work is centered around creating calm, intentional spaces that help people slow down and reconnect with themselves.
Hosting is a natural extension of that passion. They believe where you stay should feel more than just comfortable—it should feel grounding, peaceful, and restorative. ZenCanto was thoughtfully designed with that philosophy in mind, offering a space where guests can truly unwind while still enjoying everything Puerto Vallarta has to offer.
Why they chose this property
El Centro is the cultural heart of Puerto Vallarta—full of color, energy, and history. Cobblestone streets lead you to hidden cafés, local art galleries, and some of the best dining in the city.
Just a short walk away is the iconic Malecón, where you can stroll along the ocean, watch street performers, or catch an unforgettable sunset.
What makes El Centro so special is its rhythm—you can spend the day immersed in the vibrancy of the city, then step away into a quieter, more peaceful space when you’re ready to recharge.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets Zen Canto apart is the balance it offers. While many properties in El Centro place you right in the middle of the noise, this home is designed to feel like a retreat.
Inside, the space is calm, open, and intentionally curated to create a sense of ease. Outside, you’re just steps from everything—yet when you return, it’s peaceful, private, and restorative.
From the terrace hammock to the rooftop views, every detail reflects Francisco and Chris’s philosophy: that a space should not only be beautiful, but should also help you feel better simply by being in it.
