a slice of paradise

This place is amazing!
I've been to Puerto Vallarta a few times and this time it was a whole new experience. There's nothing like being on the patio overlooking the ocean and surrounded by tropical plants ---- in the morning with coffee and evening with a margarita. There's also a stone bbq built into the patio. The sound of the large fountain below is so refreshing. My other favorite part is that the windows open completely, letting in the ocean air. There are windows on three sides of the condo for a great cross-breeze and light.
The master bedroom has a big window overlooking the ocean and french doors opening on the patio. The 2nd bedroom has french doors opening onto a small private balcony. The entire condo has terracotta tile floors and is tastefully furnished. It's spacious with large bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas. There are huge newly tiled modern showers in both bathrooms, and a big tub in the master bedroom. The complex is very well maintained with fresh paint, new tile, and nicely furnished common areas.
The owner has excellent restaurant recommendations (Try Red Cabbage!). The front desk can arrange cab service, or you can walk a few blocks into town. Better than a hotel, the condo had the spaciousness and privacy of a private residence combined with the convenience of a 24-hour staffed front desk.
There's a great shortcut to the beach down some stairs (reasonably priced beach chair/towel/umbrella service with full food and drink service --- from morning eggs benedict brunch to 4:00 happy hour).
The housekeeper and front desk staff were friendly and helpful. And there's a HUGE swimming pool overlooking the ocean.
Can't wait to go back!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your review! Actually, the front desk staff is there from 7am to 11pm.
