Photos and Description of the Acapulco vacation condo rental
Condominium - 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description) - 2 Full Baths - (Sleeps 4)

My wife once said: 'How is the condo at Velero Galeon any different from the 5-Star Hotel and Resort properties we've had the opportunity to visit over the years'?...'We've got large square-footage rooms, all-marble floors, two bathrooms, and fully furnished kitchen' 'Two balconies overlooking our four pools(2 adult, 2 kiddie), the Pacific Ocean, Wireless High Speed Internet in unit, Hi-Definition Sony TV, English-Spanish Cable, DVD, Washer/Dryer, our own maid, 24-Hour Bellman service, etc. etc.'...

My response was: 'I can think of some. The natural beauty here at Velero Galeon far exceeds many of those properties. The weather is always impeccable, we're located on the Penthouse Floor, the Staff is incomparable with friendly, fast service...and...the Big One...the value!!...about 15 to 20% of the cost'.

At least 20 good restaurants of all tastes, plus Convenience Stores and Supermarkets all within walking distance make 'Dining Out' or 'Dining In' equally convenient--and inexpen

THE LATEST: Things have have just kept getting better and better !

Thanks to our sons' ownership and their hospitlity, we're able to enjoy the Unit and the continual improvements they make to it ...constantly renewing all aspects : Decorating, Kitchen Appliances, Sony Hi-Def, 95 Channel Bilingual TV, Wi-Fi Internet, Balcony Door/Window Remodeling, state- of-the- art, SILENT remote control Air Conditioning, new King-Size Bed, to name just a few.

Our favorite new projects lately include: our Beach Tent and Furniture for guests' use on our Dedicated Beach (five steps down from our Pool Deck); Digital Cable, which, in addition to 95 Bilingual TV Channels adds 50 Channels of Beautiful Music; plus...to make a relaxing vacation even more relaxing...New Remote-Controlled Awnings for our TWO Balconies...which overlook our Building's Twin Olympic-Size Pools..and...of course, Beautiful Acapulco Bay itself.

Ahh...Coffee in the morning on the Balcony...

THE BUILDING AND LOCATION: The Building, 'Velero y Galeon' is universally acclaimed as 'The Most Beautiful, Best Maintained Building...in the Best Location of Acapulco'.

We're located right on the Costera, the main Boulevard of Acapulco, our Doorman can hail a Taxi for you, or you can choose City Bus Service right outside the door of our magnificent Lobby. Either alternative method of transport is very economical and a good value in Acapulco.

As for conveniences within our complex...we have three Restaurants, 1) 'The Mansion'...which a great many people say is the 'Best Steakhouse in Acapulco'; 2)'The Sushi'...which features 'Alfredo', a Japanese-trained, International Award-Winning Chef; 3) 'The Chinese Buffet' a quick, authentic and economical alternative. There are 20+ restaurants of all varieties and budgets within walking distance.

Also 'On Property' is a Covenience Store . Need Milk, Bread, Soda, Beer, etc.?

Golf or Tennis? Golf Course and Tennis Courts are directly across the street !

About Us, and Our 'Home Away from Home' : We vacationed in Acapulco over 20 years. Now thar we're retired, thanks to the ownership of the condo by our sons and their gracious hospitality, we use PHA3 Velero personally for many months each year during various seasons. We'd be there more, if it weren't for those great sons, daugther-in-law and three incredible grandkids...who all live near us in the Chicago area. Their Condo is truly our entire family's second home, and we treat it that way. When you walk in you won't have to search or shop for any of the basics, because they're all there...including little things like soap, spices, paper towels, coffee filters......and whatever happens to be in our little 'honor bar' at the time.

PHA3's delightful Maid 'Maura', will have the place ready for you.

We 'earn our keep' by helping our sons with reservations, and would love to hear from you!

This was a lovely condo. Beautiful, fully furnished, everything was well maintained, close to everything, wonderful location. Came with everything we needed. Jim and Nancy provided great service assuring we had everything. I had been to Acapulco many times, but never enjoyed a stay as much as here. Will definitely recommended to everyone. Next time we visit Acapulco we will definitely stay here, do not know why other people prefer hotels over this beautiful condo!

Thank you Jim and Nancy
Lovely photos and beautiful family!

I went to Acapulco towards the end of Semana Santa (Holy Week), which is arguably one of the biggest holiday weeks in Mexico. We were a group of 4 and were totally comfortable. One bedroom and the sofa bed was perfect. The price couldn't be beat since hotels were charging triple what the owners charged. The building is in a super central location and has a very upscale and exclusive look to the lobby. The apartment was absolutely spotless, comfortable, and really well equipped. It felt like an apartment that was usually lived in and happened to be lent to us for a weekend. The two balconies on a high floor in the building were a nice touch with totally unobstructed views of the pool area and beach. The high floor also made way to a great breeze that made the air conditioners irrelevant (we didn't turn them on once). Given the crowds in Acapulco during this time, it was absolutely key to have a private pool and beach where we wouldn't be fighting for chairs and sand-space. We went to the pool everyday at different hours and never had issues finding space. For beach time, we made good use of the tent showed in the pic. Totally convenient and the guys from the building put it up and down during one's stay. I'm a golfer, so I was excited to see that a public course with inexpensive green fees was across the street. All in all, the stay was beyond pleasant and I would recommend this rental to my mom and dad if they ever went to Acapulco. The owner is an absolute gentleman and goes beyond what's normal to ensure a positive experience.

My boyfriend and I have stayed in this condo twice for 14-16 days each time.. very reasonable rates for the awesome condo it is. Velero y Galeon is a very well maintained building.. the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The condo is so beautiful with everything you need, and the pool and beach area are amazing. Beautiful sunsets you won't want to miss!! La Playita restaurant/bar is right next door with amazing food.. as well as the Malibu.. Everything you need is at your fingertips. Definitely a home away from home. and we will be back!! You won't regret booking this place for your vacation in Acapulco.

A True Vacation "Find" ! !

From the beginning, the description in the listing of the location of this Condo was "right on"...Starting with the Beautiful Lobby on the 'Costera'...(the main Boulevard of Acapulco)... with great access to cabs, buses, nearby restaurants, and shopping...with the Condo's Dedicated Beach on Acapulco Bay, a few steps past the Building's Twin Olympic-size Pools.

The photos in this listing do a good job of reflecting the beauty of the place, great maintenance of the Public Areas and the Huenings' Condo itself, but seeing these areas in person made us realize that we've never experienced such impeccable cleanliness and attention to maintenance detail...both in the Public Areas, and in the Condo itiself.

Jim and Nancy...the owners...could not have been more gracious and helpful in assuring our comfort, starting with a great guide to Restaurants and Shopping, which they provided in response to our first e-mail. Then there was the follw-up after our Booking.... re-checking to see that everything was in order, and if they could help in any way. The "24/7" Reception and Bell Staff at Velero y Galeon further assured our comfort and enjoyment, helping with restaurant reservations and recommendations on Points of Interest.

Pampering continued throughout our stay, with the maid taking care of all the domestic "chores".

We particularly enjoyed our Individual Hi-Speed Internet Connection within. the Condo, and the Building's High Speed Internet Connection at the Pool and in the Lobby.

In the Condo, 95 Channel Digital Cable TV Channels on the Hi-Definition Sony TV, plus 50 Music Channels, provided some great entertainment .

The best summary we can provide is that we would highly reccommend this Condo to our relatives and friends...or anyone else.

AWESOME VALUE FOR TOP RATE STAY

5 of 5
Submitted: February 21, 2011 Stayed: November 2010
This condo was absolutely what we were looking for. The rate is VERY reasonable and the included amenities are above what I have had in 5 star resorts. My wife and I love to eat out local so a private condo appeals to us over the all inclusive option. Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the beach and beautiful scenery is dramatic. The location is in the middle of town. We walked a ton and had everything in our reach. You cannot go wrong with this condo and location.
