On Elizabeth Taylor's 34th birthday, Richard Burton purchased a home in Puerto Vallarta known as Casa Kimberley. He purchased the house across the lane for himself and connected the homes with a bridge so the two could easily be together without the paparazzi eyes.
Taylor sold the home in the early 90's leaving everything inside, including clothes in the closet. The new owners created a museum/B&B at the property with each room named after Taylor and Burton films.
Eventually the museum/B&B closed and was empty until Janice Chatterton, who owns the nearby Hacienda San Angel hotel in another of Mr. Burton's former homes, took on the him and renovation project.
In December, 2015 Casa Kimberly was reopened as a boutique hotel and restaurant, The Iguana. On Sundays, they offer an elegant brunch with an extensive buffet that includes freshly made churros.
A short walk down Calle Zaragoza afterwards leads you back to the Malecón.
