We were looking for a private space to enjoy the sun and pool at our leisure but close enough to walk to restaurants, the beach and shopping if that's what we chose to do. This place was perfect for our needs. Close enough to the action but we could escape to the pool when we wanted to.Our hosts were always available but very discreet. If you have any mobility issues this is not the place for you, otherwise we would highly recommend.

What a great stay! The property is perfectly situated in the Alta Vista area just above the Zona Romantica - a quick 10 minute downhill walk to everything and a 5 Uber ride back. Did that everyday. The private pool and deck were incredible. Javier was always available to answer any questions you might have. Perfect host. Hopefully we’ll be back next Feb-Mar.

Amazing Patio, Pool and View

Amazing patio and pool area. We spent many hours daily lounging in the pool and patio. The view is spectacular. Javier was a great host. Strong wifi throughout the property. We found the walk to town very easy, only about 15 minutes. Highly recommended.

Rooftop Garden

Steep hill and then flight of stairs was a bit much for us. However the apartment, deck and pool made up for it. We also loved the area. We found great restaurants and bars a short walk away…including the market.

Amazing rooftop

You will spend 90% of the time on the amazing rooftop area. 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.

Hidden Gem

I loved my stay here, the private terrace and pool were worth coming back for. be limber for this property to be accessible to you. It sits on a steep hill and there are quite a few stairs involved as well. But the workout was worth it!

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!

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!!!!

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.

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.

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

Great property. 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.

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.

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.

A vacation to remember!!

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

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.
