Puerto Vallarta Luxury Beach Front Condo!

Gina was the best Property Manager we have ever dealt with in over 15 years of renting condos in Puerto Vallarta. She is prompt in responding to emails, met us immediately at the condo, and had a lovely fruit basket and wine for our arrival. The view is breathtaking; you can see the entire Bay! Accommodations were excellent; the most comfortable mattresses in all of the bedrooms. The condo was stocked very well; towels, bedding, blankets, and kitchen/laundry items. What made this rental stand out was that Gina supplied a number of basics; tin foil, plastic wrap, paper towel, kleenex, spices, dish soap, dishwasher tabs, cleaning products, toilet paper, laundry soap and softener, large bottles of shampoo, and other toiletries, etc. We have never had all of these items supplied in the past and we were very thankful. The location is perfect; you are minutes away from Walmart and Costco and central to visiting either the Marina, Malecon, or Old Town. The airport is 10 minutes away; so convenient! The condo complex is very well maintained and the grounds and pool area are lovely. Staff were attentive and friendly. Security is serious business there and you will feel very well taken care of. Thank you so much Gina. We absolutely loved your beautiful condo and look forward to returning next March, 2020.

View and beach are #1. Building amenities are of very high quality - pools, fitness center , activities room Manager was very kind and helpful and returned calls promptlyt when we needed assistance. For example, stove top was complex to operate but like with all mechanicals NO instructions are provided which resulted in needs to call her on Christmas Eve to prepare dinner

However, Gina’s wish to help could not undo the deficits of what should have been a luxury unit throughout

For example, all appliances are in serious need of replacement But beyond that, maintenance of them was lacking. I’ve never had to wash out the frig of a luxury rental before or attempt to ameliorate the mold and strong mildew in the dishwasher. (And I’m not even a neat freak)

Another area of difficulty is that this is really a 3 bedroom unit by U S standards the tiny 4th bedroom appearing to be a 6 ft section of a second master suite which was walled off. No window. I was surprised that only one review had mentioned that fact

Lastly, there were no cooking ingredients at all except for salt and pepper. And no measuring cups or spoons existed. That seems unacceptable to me in light of the fact that is is not a sub marginal motel room

On the positive side , the setting has a lot to offer and is delightful. There are many water activities available nearby with kayaking and whale watching being particularly enjoyable. Plus the culinary and cultural activities are inviting

The layout of the unit has good potential if it were advertised as a 3 bedroom

It is certainly a nice arrangement in the building it is in

It is unfortunate that the actual owners have neglected some very basic maintenance issues. It could be completely outstanding.

This was an amazing vacation, 8 of us shared this gorgeous condo which is very spacious, well equipped, close to shopping (Starbucks on the corner and Walmart/Sams Club and a bunch of restaurants within walking distance). The owner is very easy to work with and the views are spectacular, you will not find better views anywhere in P.V. sky divers and parasailers land on the beach, gorgeous sunsets and sun rises and whales. We also saw baby turtles hatch on the beach below near the private beach palapas. We took advantage of the on site spa services and got $20 USD 1 hour massages almost daily.

I debated back and fourth between 4 and 5 stars, why you ask? My only complaint is the crazy extreme security, which may be ok for Americans that are worried about the bad things that can happen in Mexico. I guarantee you that you will feel VERY VERY SAFE HERE, The security required taxi drivers show ID to get in the gate and they basically stalked us the entire trip, we had to wear fluorescent wrist bands that could not be removed for any reason for 2 weeks which was a real bummer but did make us feel safe. Security is 24/7 and they also function as concierge so that was nice but it became kind of a headache to be constantly watched. You will not be disappointed here but now that I left a good review it will never be available for us when we want to come back.

Thank you for having us! We enjoyed our stay at the Peninsula Tower III, 14D. The view for this place is the highlight! Everything that we need was available to us. Cooking breakfast with the incredible view was fantastic! The location was great, everything was walking distance (La Isla Shopping Center, Restaurants). The reason I gave 4 stars is that the unit has older appliances, furniture and also you could hear your next door neighbor. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Penninsula.

Thank you.

We stayed in this well equipped spacious condo for four weeks. It has million dollar views, fabulous pool and grounds with plenty of lounge chairs. It is a great location, mid-way between downtown and the Marina, and walking distance to many restaurants. Owner is wonderful to work with and was quick to respond to any questions. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
