Residences by Pinnacle - Luxury 2 bed, 2 bath Romantic Zone condo

The location was amazing - very walkable to great restaurants, shops, and the beach. The suite itself was great too, everything we needed, and the patio and its view were lovely too. Christian was an absolutely wonderful host; super helpful, friendly and communicative. Last but certainly not least - the rooftop pool was incredible.

Christian's place is exactly as pictured. POOL: The rooftop pool is even better than you can imagine. There's a swim-up bar and great servers up there--shout out to Daniel & Edgar. The pool-side food is actually pretty good and not too expensive, the chilaquiles and hashbrowns were especially great. There are not that many loungers, but we never had trouble getting a chair. If you get up there by 9/930am, you can always reserve a few chairs. VIBES: It's a slightly older set of folks at the building/pool than I expected, but they were welcoming and kind, and it's sort of the case for the entire Zona Romantica. It's very LGBTQ-friendly, but there are definitely straight folks, too. It's not a party scene, but it is very fun, and people are drinking and laughing throughout the day. We met people in the pool everyday and ended up hanging out with several of them a few of the nights we were there. LOCATION: The location is perfect. I was worried about the stairs and the funicular, but it's not that bad and super easy. Location is wonderful, less than a 10m walk to basically everything in Zona Romantica. We did not take an Uber at all except to/from the airport. Otherwise, we walked everywhere. ROOM: The room is perfect. The A/C is strong. There is filtered water and ice from the fridge. Christian left out some snacks, which were much appreciated. There's towels for the bathroom and for the beach. There are towels at the pool so you don't need to bring any. CHECK-IN: Super easy. There's a key combo for the door and card keys for the elevator. Christian sends an amazing welcome email with great info about getting cash and airport transportation. SAFETY: The building is super safe and the neighborhood is, too. We never felt unsafe at any point.

The water pressure could be better, but it's not a big deal and would not stop me from returning to Christian's place in a heartbeat!

we arrived in PV and found with great disappointment that our initial unit we had booked via booking.com "lost" our reservation. We found ourselves stranded in Puerto Vallarta at midnight with no place to rest after a full day of travel. But then we found this amazing place and booked it online and called Christian at midnight, He literally woke up and let us into this unit for which we will be forever grateful Everything was great here, clean, well designed and well taken care of. The pool at the top floor is the crown jewel, the gym is amazing and not to mention the morning coffee view from the balcony is something breathtaking that we will dearly miss

Domt be deterred by the lack of reviews or rating on Booking, I cross referenced the listing across multiple hotel sites and Casa Cristobal is highly reviewed everywhere. Beautiful property and easy to walk everywhere. Tucked away so no noise pollution reaches us at the unit. The unit itself has everything we needed for our stay and Christian is such a great host. Really wanted us to enjoy our stay and was always available for my questions. He also has a very detailed guide for visitors on things to do and how to get there, tours to try. We did a hiking tour he recommended and it was the highlight of our trip. Walking into the A/C every time we arrived back was BLISS. Comfy beds, welcoming couch, full kitchen. The balcony faces the city and beach for an amazing view. The rooftop garden/pool is also a huuuuge highlight over anywhere else I looked. We went to the pool everyday, its gorgeous and the drinks at the bar are so good. The whole building is very beautiful but Chistians place in particular was exactly what we needed to have an amazing stay. We are already planning to come back to Puerto Vallarta and I would never consider staying anywhere else but here. My friends were praising me the whole trip for finding such a great place to stay (but really, it was Christian and his hospitality that made either great).

I cant find anything wrong with this spot. Seriously. And im really picky.
