My partner and I stayed at this property from Christmas to New Year’s Day. The view is lovely with lush vegetation around the deck. Walking right out to the pool is a huge plus - although it’s quite cold it was extremely refreshing for a wake up swim in the morning or to cool down after a walk. As noted in the property description, this is up the hill. The walk is steep, but I actually loved that as it was great exercise and made me feel less guilty about all the delicious food and drinks we were having. This is *actual* Mexico, so there is a broad spectrum of economic demographics represented. You have very high end homes mixed with some poverty, which is to be expected. At no point did we feel unsafe. The neighbors in the building could not be nicer. They are quick to volunteer tips and tricks to make the most of your stay. All lovely people and we are so happy we met them. The building manager and maintenance man are also very friendly and helpful. One of the best taco places in PV (Pepe’s) is a few blocks down the hill, and the beach is a 7 minute walk straight down. It’s very easy to navigate the area if you walk straight down to the main drag. It’s not far to the Malecon, and if you like to walk (which we do) you can venture through to Centro and the Romantic Zone for phenomenal shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. It is very quiet and relaxing at the condo, as it’s removed from traffic and nightlife that can disturb you in some of the properties closer to the beach. We prefer the more southern neighborhoods, like 5th of Diciembre, Centro, and Romantic Zone- which are all easy to reach with Uber, or walk down to the main drag and immediately get a taxi. The Property Manager, Layce is smart and professional- as well as bilingual. Checking in was a breeze, and we knew she was always easy to reach if anything was ever needed. The condo owner is attentive as well, and went out of her way to ensure we were happy and had a positive experience. We very much enjoyed our stay here, and my butt looks great from the incline walk. Wins all around!

Firstly, I booked this condo last minute when we decided we wanted to arrive sooner to PV then originally planned and the host made it work for us. The home and the location were exactly as described in the description so no surprises which is awesome. Any questions or needs were addressed immediately and you knew the host really wants her guests to have a great experience. It is true the sun doesn’t hit the pool deck until late in the afternoon, which is the only negative, but then again I knew that before booking. If you want peace and quiet this is definitely the place and if you want to get out and about it’s only a cheap Uber ride away!

We enjoyed this condo immensely. The view of Banderas Bay thru the palms is magnificent. The apartment was quiet and nicely decorated. Neighbors helped us several times. Uber was the way to go out. Arrived within minutes and very reasonable 3 to 4 dollars. Loved Puerto Vallarta.

I just spent a week in this condo over the Christmas holidays with my wife and two children. (19 and 21) The condo is laid out very well and has everything one needs. We had some meals in the condo including a BBQ and all was good. The view is spectacular but the hill to get back and forth from the Malecon boardwalk and beach is very steep. My wife and I did it many times but we are very fit and love to walk. I would expect most people would take a taxi up and down the hill. (about 70 pesos) The owner is very helpful. Overall a nice experience.

It was a great flat, well equipped with all the necessary things, it was well located.
The apartment was really nice with a stunning view, the pool was great and the BBQ area was really nice. I really loved this place and I'm recommending it to friends and family in future holidays. Tania

Very fine condo and serviced well by owner and concierge. Very nice view from the patio and a delight to have the pool immediately beyond our patio gate! Now, it is quite a walk from the malecon to the condo, but taxi service is good, and the exercise is good if that's part of your program. It's great to get away from the relative noise of downtown to the quiet up the mountain; but there are a few sometimes noisy dogs in neighboring condos. Over-all, ours was a fine experience!

My family, including two kids, loved staying in this perfect secluded location last week, only within a few minutes drive from all the action Puerto Vallarta has to offer. We really appreciated having our own parking spot, but a taxi makes for an easy commute. The building is very secure and nicely maintained by the grounds keepers. We felt very safe the whole time. The condo is spacious, with tons of closet space. The amenities are very nice, including a hand steamer for clothes. It's the little things. There was the bonus of finding a queen size Aero bed for additional sleep options, which we very much appreciated. The beds are super comfortable, with plenty of sheets, blankets and nice towels for bathing and beach. The owner, Marlena, and property management company were extremely nice and attentive. We really had everything we needed for a home away from home.
