Beach Apartment with Bay & Ocean View in Puerto Vallarta

My daughter and I stayed at this beautiful 2 bedroom apartment for 15 glorious days over Christmas and News Years. We rang in 2025 with an amazing view of the Bay of Banderas. The modern kitchen has everything a person needs to prepare meals. Beds are comfortable. The middle bedroom’s sheets could have been better as they were thin and showed wear. Towels were luxurious and clean. The modern shower was delightful. Francisco the property manager made sure that we had everything we needed. The back element on the 2 burner stove wasn’t working and there was an electric 2 burner back up stove stored under the sink. I highly recommend that you stay here even though the rental only is to use the apartment. You are not allowed to enter the “all inclusive resort” unless you purchase a day pass. We were happy to stay in the apartment or go out and about in the community.

This was a very lovely place. Clean and on-site management for questions. The only thing I would suggest is that the coordination with resort options be clear on a page in the room. Trying to figure out what we could and could not do took a bit of conversation with front desk and not all at the front desk were completely clear on the process. However, we did figure it out and the option to pay or not pay for the resort activities was great as we primarily went for the locale vs. resort activities.

First off, I want to say that Jeremy and his crew were great to work with! The ONLY hiccup was the check-in process and time. The condo is on an all-inclusive property and they have very strict rules about their own guests' arrival times. We were held at the gate and then went to a local mall with our luggage waiting for the allowed check-in time to get sorted. We were eventually allowed to check-in early. We also had to wear white wristbands for the entire 2 weeks to make sure we did not use any of the resort amenities. One of those amenities is the walkway directly to that great looking beach. There is no direct route to the beach! It is a 12 or so minute walk out of the property, along the road or mall, and then back down a public walk way to the sand and surf. Once you get there, you can't use the pool, the chairs or umbrella's or get a cocktail from the resort either. It is probably in the listing, but it needs to be really clearly spelled out. Neighborhood is a grab bag. Nice malls very near by, but some of the streets are definitely busy and loud. We liked that there were food trucks, a grocery store, 3 theaters, a bar or two, and several restaurants. Use Uber for everything else. Jeremy provided some fruit and local libations upon arrival, which was greatly appreciated. The condo is plenty roomy for 2 and the kitchen/living room has that great view with a patio right there. Bottled water is provided, A/C works great, and the shower is great.
