It sits on a steep hill and there are quite a few stairs involved as well. But the workout was worth it! ##### Alexis L.

The other reviews are correct, it is noisy with the owners dogs, chickens, and construction but you get used to the sounds quickly. Safe area close to everything but still an authentic neighbourhood will stay again. ##### Geoff H. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas C. 12 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Stay This was a very nice place to stay. The rooftop pool and patio area was used a lot. It's not a far walk to the restaurants, shops, and beaches. A challenge we had was with how loud it was in the morning with the roosters and dogs barking. We found that closing the windows and sliding doors helped quite a bit. The noise wasn't an issue outside of that. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Nicholas C. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom 25 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing value, huge private pool, authentic Mexican neighbourhood!!! We're a 'mature' Canadian couple who enjoy walking, fresh air, exercise, our own space to cook simple meals, some nice outdoor living to enjoy the sunshine and a pool to cool off in. The condo operated by the very friendly and capable Javier definitely ticks all the boxes. Sure, you have to be ready for the stairs, but for us the trade-off is well worth it. Lazy folks or those with mobility issues may want to look elsewhere -- but for us this place was a dream, with the pool at the very top of the list. Thanks for everything Javier. We hope to be back!!!! ##### Tom Stayed 16 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jason A. 20 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Great View This property provided a great view of downtown Puerto Vallarta and a wonderful outdoor lounging space complete with sun deck and pool. The property manager, Javier, was courteous and accommodating. The only reason for not giving the property five stars was the lack of communication concerning my arrival, which left me standing outside of the unit with no one around until I convinced the second-floor tenant to contact the owner of the penthouse. I was not given contact information for Javier prior to my arrival. ##### Jason A. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Axel V. 4 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A charming condo with a beautiful pool terrace and view We spent nine days in this condo during pride week in PV. In addition to being close to all shops and clubs, we enjoyed being a bit away from old PV (15 minutes walk), which prevented us from being disturbed by music and people talking late into the night. If you want to explore the whole Mexican neighborhood and experience everything it has to offer, this is the perfect place to stay. Because the neighborhood is on a steep hill, walking to the condo requires relatively good physical condition. Your workout for the day will be this. Despite the walk, the terrace view is worth it. It was a pleasure to work with Alejandro, the property manager, and all communication went smoothly. I suggest updating the pictures from the terrace since the view has changed due to a couple of buildings that were built. A shower remodel might also be necessary in the near future. This condo is a place I'd consider staying again in the future. ##### Axel V. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany H. 9 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful pool! Very nice apartment with a gorgeous deck area and pool! Managers were very kind and prompt. The pool pump had gone out over the holiday weekend, so we didnt use the pool for our first two days, but Javier got it up and running for the rest of our week. PROS: Heated pool. (We opted to heat the pool so it was nice to enjoy in the am's and evenings. Its a huge pool so I totally understand the additional cost) Walking distance to beach, restaurants, and boardwalk. (Kitchen is set up to cook, but your so close to so many restaurants, we ate out the majority of our time there. Everthing was super clean, comfy bed, hot water, and cable TV for in the evenings to watch a movie. Theres a little store right below you for ice and mixers. (They have filtered water at the apartment if you'd like to make ice) CONS: The stairs! But you get used to them. (If you can't climb a ladder, you probably shouldn't book this spot) To view the sunset, you'll need to walk down to the beach. There's 2 large condo complexes between your deck and the sunset, so depending on time of year, you may be able to glimpse it between the 2 bldgs, but probably not. There is construction going on across the street, which when finished, will look down on the pool and sun deck, but they have plants and umbrellas to block a lot of it, just sometimes there will be noise. We enjoyed our time here and the heated pool! Thank you Andreas & Javier for a comfy stay in PV ##### Brittany H.

Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian A. 23 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was a great spot for our first visit to PV, being located in a lively Mexican neighbourhood but easily walkable to the beaches, Malecon, shops, bars and restaurants of Zona Romantica. Centro and beyond. As others have mentioned, the view from this condo has evolved somewhat since the photos on the listing were taken. It still enjoys an elevated outlook across the city towards the bay and Javier has planted lush greenery around the patio for added privacy though maybe not as private as it once was with the ongoing new construction around. The outside space of this condo is the reason to book here with various seating areas and we sprung for pool heating and really appreciated it. It was nice to meet Javier who was welcoming and on hand if we needed anything. The convenient location and terrific outside space made this a great value stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1236e0e4-071a-415c-b337-8235352b3619-1766464016263.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2fa66667-c873-4673-8495-83dd2fc6652d-1766464059498.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d5f9c291-41c0-45d8-bc39-4e688611fe0d-1766464059345.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86e89da8-d4f0-484b-aeff-e791497a936d-1766464076907.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Adrian A.

The space is wonderful. the rooftop pool is absolutely DIVINE! The hill isn't as bad as it seems, although an uber ride was 3 from the beach, so we took advantage. The location is fabulous, it was so nice. We ABSOLUTELY will be back. The host was so amenable and provided everything we needed and more. It is so private and nice. I guarantee you will not be disappointed! 5 STARS all around. ##### Eric T.

Beautiful view from the pool/balcony, just a short walk from all the restaurants, bars, and shopping. Javier took great care of us when we needed help, and otherwise gave us privacy. Perfect living size for a couple on vacation. ##### Michael D.

The sun deck and pool were awesome, which is where we spent most of our time. The steps are no joke, but it was clear in the advertising it is not for people with mobility problems. Overall one of the best vacations we ever had. ##### James Royal Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 16 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Away from tourist area but close enough if you want to join Food stand right in front of building...truely authentic Comfortable secluded haven immersed within the local populous. Because of all the amenities such as view, location there is a lot of stairs...good for cardio. Andreas and Javier are great hosts..leave you alone and/or quickly respond to issues. ##### Richard Stayed 11 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### K Shea K. 20 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay Well as everyone else has said it is at the top of the hill and there are a lot of stairs but it was really not that bad. Roosters and dogs all day long but you get used to it. Walking distance to everything (beach, malecon, restaurants, cathedral,markets, bars, stores) and cabs everywhere if you don't want to walk. The condo has everything you need including ac, laundry and housekeeping service. We used the barbeque several times. Good sun throughout the day and the pool was awesome. ##### K Shea K.

From the moment we landed and made contact with Javier, we were set for a great Holiday. Javier met us curb side and helped us with our bags. We are not going to lie, there are stairs up to the unit, many stairs, but it is so worth the climb. The condo has a gorgeous private terrace, a large pool with an extraordinary view and full sun for most of the day with comfortable patio furniture to lounge around in. The unit itself has all kinds of amenities , however you'll end up spending most of your time on the terrace. The area is within walking distance to beaches , wonderful shops, and amazing restaurants, and just about everything you will need. Uber is available. We had the pleasure of meeting quite a few of the local neighbours and found them all quite friendly. Book this and you'll have a great holiday. Many thanks to Javier and Andreas ##### jed s. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Stacey R. 10 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful pool The pool and patio are beautiful! It was too cold without heating it, that costs $25/day and was essential when we visited. The photo of the view from the pool in the ad is dated - new construction has blocked some of that view of the ocean, sadly. The indoors caught the smell of cigarette smoke from a courtyard or another unit in the building. It might not bother smokers but it did affect us. And I would join the other reviewer who cautioned that the toilet isn’t private. The toilet wall and door do not reach the ceiling so someone in bed can hear every toilet noise as well as if they were standing beside the toilet. There are two mini marts on the block of the condo that were convenient, and we were a short walk to the neighborhood shops/bar scene and a totally reasonable walk to the beach! Despite the cigarette and bathroom problems, the pool and patio’s beauty made it a great stay. ##### Stacey R.

He was extremely friendly, and helpful and kind when we lost one of his keys. The back patio and pool was really big for two people, which includes a grill, a furniture set, and lounge chairs. It was a short walk down to the beach which has many restaurants and bars. ##### Matt S.

Alta Vista was the perfect setting for a relaxing and private vacation! The outdoor area is amazing! You can follow the sun or the shade all day with comfortable seating, great views, and strategic (and beautiful) landscaping. The pool is exactly as shown, private with beautiful views. The kitchen is well stocked. The bedroom is quiet and comfortable. The condo both inside and out is very clean and well maintained. We had cleaning service twice and the pool was serviced, too, but very quietly we never knew when! The neighborhood is wonderful with a quick walk downhill to the town. The location is perfect to enjoy all that PV has to offer! We can't wait to return! ##### Gwen G.

It is a quick walk to the beach, great restaurants and pretty much anything you need. The outdoor space is beautiful, we enjoyed the pool and just soaking up the sun. The people in the neighborhood are friendly and kind. We felt safe everywhere we went. We loved the taco stand right below the property! This is a great place to stay when in Puerto Vallarta!
