Penthouse of the Dolphins - Simply Divine
Review Submitted: July 23, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
My family has just returned from an 8 night stay at the Penthouse of the Dolphins. We all agreed that is was one of the best vacations our family has ever had. We have visited Mexico many times before and we have done the upscale all- inclusive resort thing. Our time at the Penthouse of the Dolphins far exceed any of those experiences. Compared to the resorts, The Penthouse of the Dolphins is a bargain for the price and you have the luxury of space that you would not have at a resort.
The Penthouse of the Dolphins is a stunning unit. It is expertly and very tastefully appointed with all the luxuries of a 5 star resort. It is even more beautiful in person than the pictures. This unit is very well maintained. The bathrooms are incredible as is the wood work of the built-ins or the door ways. The art work is quite nice.
This unit is located right in the middle of all the action. The unit is minutes from Los Muertos beach. On Los Muertos you can engage in any water sport you would like, shop for trinkets or souvenirs, eat yummy food and most importantly, relax with a your favorite tropical drink. There are tons of great restaurants in walking distance from the unit. Our favorites were Vitea, on the main floor of the building the unit is in and Si, Senors, further on down the Malecon.
We traveled with our teen aged children. It was so wonderful to see them immersed in the culture. They shopped along the Malecon, ran errands to the local grocery stores, made friends with the vendors and picked up snacks nightly at the corner OXXO (Mexican 7-11). The neighborhood around the condo became their neighborhood.
The views from the wrap around terrace are simply to die for. We spent 90% of our time outside. My greatest joy was watching the dolphins each morning. The pelicans diving for fish are also very entertaining. The sunsets are simply stunning. The views from all the rooms look at the ocean, whether you are laying in bed, taking a shower, or eating breakfast. We so loved the sound of the surf. It was so peaceful.
The roof top pool is steps away from the condo's front door. From the pool you can see the city, the ocean and the beautiful crown of the cathedral.
The owner was a dream to work with. We would highly recommend to property to our closest of friends and family. You will not be disappointed.
