Perfect Studio Apartment

This was a really perfect stay. The location cannot be beat. Right on the beach, by any restaurant, shopping, beach clubs, etc. The apartment is beautifully decorated and has everything you need. Great balcony to watch the waves and city. Front desk people are so kind and keep everything safe and secure for you. Pool was perfect to cool off. Great place for a couple.

Well appointed apartment in a great location. Right on the beach and walking distance to pretty much everything in the Zona Romatica. Great AC and a balcony that overlooks the street, but with a view of the ocean as shown in the pictures on the website. Would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable and convenient place in great location

We have stayed in Puerto Vallarta dozens of times and staying at this condo at La Palapa has been one of our favorites. The condo itself was perfect for two of us and the staff at the building from the front desk to the maids were terrific. The location is the best and we can't wait to come back and book the same place!

BEST OF THE BEST LOCATIONS

We love PV and we love this location best of all. This studio is beautifully redone and still maintains all the charms of its colorful Mexican locale. It has a wonderful view of coast, mountains and city. It is well stocked with everything you might need, albeit sometimes not where you might expect, as the toilet plunger and extra toilet paper in the kitchen. It is central to the best that Zona Romantica has to offer (beaches, restaurants, clubs, etc.) so it is lively and noisy day and night, but it is well worth it for the location. I am handicapped and have trouble walking, but even I can get to the beach, restaurants, and entertainment on foot. Everything that isn't walkable is only a $5 cab ride away. Also, we like the secrity of a 24-hr. doorman in the lobby, and the maid does a fantastic job of making everything sparkle. We only found one, maybe two, problems with this studio. Number one issue was the bed. We found it very uncomfortable, so much so that one of us slept on the sofa 5 of the 7 nights we were there. The other, far less of a problem, but still an issue for us, was the chairs on the balcony. We like to spend a lot of time taking in the scenery including people watching, (the reason we always rent a unit with a view) but the chairs here were not comfortable for any length of time. Both of these are the onlyreasons we would not book here again, but if those two items were remedied, we would rush to book for next season, when we will be coming down for nearly a month. These two issues are obviously personal to our situation and comfort level and may not affect others at all. Overall, this studio apartment is a wonderful option for a stay in lively yet relaxing Puerto Vallarta.

We had the best time staying in this VRBO. Already talking about returning. It was spotless clean, comfortable, had ever little detail thought about, and was in the perfect location! Plus it was blazing hot while we busted and the AC kept us perfectly comfortable all weekend. Pool was perfect too!

Right on the beach, very busy area. Everything needed is walking distance. It only rained at night

Great place for 2 people, roof top pool is beautiful but can get busy at times and they shut it down one day due to cleaning but nice to sit and enjoy the busy ocean scene below. Condo was great, the nicest on the block and we loved it. Nice patio with ocean view on the side. Met residents who live in the same building and they were so Friendly and gave great tips about restaurants etc.

Ideal Traditional Mexico Flavor

This is an ideal property for a couple, equipped with everything you could need to enjoy vacation. The rooftop pool was terrific, as was the La Palapa restaurant on the beach level. Also enjoyed El Dorado right next door, as well as their beach club service. Our housemaid, Norma, was especially sweet and always had a smile on her face.

As the title suggests, this is a fantastic location; right on the beach, walkable to wonderful restaurants, stores and the Malecon. No steep hills to climb unless by choice. Wonderful, helpful owners. The perfect rental for two or a solo traveler. Be sure to try Coco's Kitchen for breakfast/brunch, La Palapa, and for a romantic, gourmet dinner, Tintoque, next to the river downtown

This Condo is Amazing

I have come to PV for over 10 years. I have a family place there but wasnt available this week I decided to visit so needed a rental. I have to say this place has to be one of the best rentals Ive done in PV. Its beautifully decorated, perfect location, genuine owners, maid service and staff are awesome. If you dont rent this condo for at least one of your trips you will be missing out on a great place to stay with amazing views and comfort of a relaxing visit. I wished I owned a condo like this in this building.

Lovely Two Weeks in Paradise

Lovely way to spend 2 weeks in paradise. Location is the best for sunrises, sunsets, upscale restaurants or a seafood meal at local family operations tucked away in the many nooks and crannies of the Amapas area. Enjoyed the little extras included: the night light, light in the closet, beach bags, towels, and notepads for groceries. Bed was extremely comfortable since we prefer a firmer mattress. The bathroom was nicely appointed and the suite comfortable in its decoration and design. You always know a rental is great when you feel “at home” for the length of your stay.

Absolutely perfect!

Everything about this condo was perfect. The owner is an interior designer so the condo is modern Mexican decor and absolutely gorgeous. There has been a lot of attention to detail. There is a beach bag next to the beach towels. The shower gel and shampoo are the best. The kitchen is equipped with darling plates and has everything you could think of including margarita glasses and a blender to make them. You are about 200 feet from the beach and the Palapa restaurant. The pool is on the roof and has spectacular views of the entire area. If I could give this property more than five stars I would!
