What a beautiful condo & such a gorgeous setting for anyone who wants to just get away from it all and enjoy the beautiful weather, beaches & quaintness that is Punta de Mita. El Faro II was all we hoped it would be, overlooking the ocean and the wonderful infinity pool. The condo is open and bright with a huge patio and two great Master bedrooms. You want to stay in all week and do your own cooking? No problemo, you supply the food and drink, everything else you'll need is in the large kitchen. But the infinity pool is where you'll want to be during the day. Sipping cervezas and looking out to the ocean, nothing better! But if your thing is leaving the cooking back home there are some fantastic restaurants in the town, all with beach dining. Margarita's, Si Senors, El Anclote, Cafe des Artistes are all superb. If you want to take a little drive head to La Cruz and have dinner at the Yacht Club overlooking the marina excellent. And don't forget to visit Casa del Pintor right across the street from the condo and meet the owner, Ropi, what a character. If you like to golf and don't want to drive back to Puerto Vallarta, try Litibu, just 10 minutes away. Beautiful course, newer so they don't have a clubhouse yet but the price is right and the people are very nice. All the other courses that are close are private. Don't forget to take some long walks down the beach and enjoy the setting and atmosphere of a small town in Mexico. If you want to get away from the huge Mexican beach resorts and really enjoy some serinity, then El Faro II in Punta de Mita is what you are looking for, it was all we hoped it would be!

This is a five star property with amazing views, amenities, and all the comforts of home in a fabulous serene location right on the beach. The living room and dining room doors slide wide open, almost the entire width of the condo, to provide a bright and airy beach experience when you are in the unit. It is close to great local restaurants or you can cook in your fully equipped kitchen. If you really want to unwind to the sound of waves in a low key Mexican village, then this is the place. You have lots of options for activities. You can lay by the pool, run or play on the beautiful beach, snorkel, kayak, paddle board, fish or take a trip up the coast to explore Suyalita, San Francisco Beach, and many other locations. Our regret is that we weren't here the entire 10 days. We'll be back!

Beautifully Furnished Beach Front condo with Great Views. No photo shop on the Pictures the unit was actually more spectacular in person, Clean & well kept. Surfing, Fishing, Beach Walks all right there. Great Beachfront Restaurants 5 minutes or less walking distance. This is a Awesome place to get away and relax. Short drive to Puerto Vallarta if you need more excitement or Sayulita for a cool, relaxed surf town. Owners were great to deal with, will Most definetely recomend this Condo to Friends. We Will most definitely by back Soon!

This was our 1st visit to this area and we lucked our and picked the most fabulous condo on the beach! It is decorated beautifully, ON the beach, very private, pool right outside......just heaven. Our only mistake is that we only went for one week :( We have already booked for 2 weeks for next October. We had spent tme in Puerto Vallarta before but never again....LOVE THIS PLACE!

We just recently returned from our third trip to this beautiful condo in the last year and a half. There is probably no more beautiful beach front location on the entire Banderas Bay. The pictures on the web site are just a taste of how beautiful, luxurious and spacious the condo is in reality. You are just a couple of minutes walk to the fantastic, and ever improving, restaurants in Punta de Mita, twenty minutes from the popular northern beach towns of Sayulita & San Pancho and right in the middle of paradise. We both love this place and will be back in the fall.

Rick & Suzi, Our stay at El Faro was perfect. The condo was just as described and a close walk to everything. Having stayed at Hotel Artistes & Hacienda de Mita in the past, El Faro in my opinion is the best value among the three places. Nice, Spacious, Convenient and right on the beach. Hope to be back real soon!!! Thanks!

Our family (2 adults and 1 toddler) had an unbelievable time during our four night stay. As good as the pictures look on the website, the actual unit is even more impressive in person. The unit is very, very spacious and hauling all of our luggage into it was a breeze with the elevator that opens up into the unit. The kitchen has all of the necessary tools to cook meals (make sure to stop at the Wal-Mart, MEGA or Costco for supplies) and the living area is very comfortable. As you can tell, you're right on the ocean! Bathrooms are spacious and gorgeous and the in-unit laundry machines make vacations convenient. We are already looking forward to our next trip back.

Our stay was perfect. We were told that the property was better in person than it was in the pictures. And it was. Thank you so much. We hope to be back soon.

We are so pleased with everything here. The pool is perfect, and we find ourselves spending most of our time there, reading and relaxing... it's hard to imagine a better break from the "real world".

We enjoyed boat rides at sunset, catching Dorado, and taking the fish to Hector's restaurant for lunch, margaritas, and cards by the pool, walks on the beach, and simply relaxing.
