  My husband and I and our two adult sons (20's) stayed at Tony's for a week during Christmas. We had a wonderful time. The property was so comfortable and the views were amazing. It was just like being outside. I was concerned that birds or bugs would fly inside, but they never did. The fresh air was beautiful. We loved going into town and exploring the neighborhoods; eating on the street and in little local eateries. Puerto Vallarta is a gourmet destination, but you really don't have to spend a fortune to have a great meal. We have done it both ways, and I prefer the latter. We took a tour to Mariettas Isles and snorkeled and saw many whales, hiked at Yelapa, and hung out at the condo. The entire experience was wonderful, and we hated to see it end. Thanks Tony! for sharing your beautiful home with us.

  Regarding the property owner: Tony was incredibly helpful and made himself very available. He replied promptly to all correspondence leading up to the trip and left ample instructional and welcoming materials in the condo for us to use during our stay. Regarding the property: It's impossible to capture the incredible views in a photograph - it just won't do them justice!! We had a mixture of sunny days, cloudy days, heavy rain one day, and two lightning storms at night - all of these were gorgeous from our front row seats in Tony's condo! There are several restaurants/bars within walking distance from the condo, though a short cab ride is required to get to town. The taxis wait just down the hill, so anytime (even very early and very late), a driver will be at your door within five minutes of your call. Importantly: When taking a cab from the airport, be sure to tell the driver "Punta Esmeralda in Conchas Chinas". Stress the Conchas Chinas part, as our driver took us WAY past the property to "Quinta Esmeralda". The drivers in the local area never had this problem, so I'm assuming it was b/c he's typically stationed near the airport. Our favorite experiences: Hiking through the jungle (there are AMAZING hikes near Las Animas beach); dinner at Trattoria Michel; dinner at No Way Jose'; snorkeling near Los Arcos (took a boat from Mismaloya); visiting the art galleries downtown; sunsets at Blue Chairs; waking up to the astounding views. I felt extremely safe the entire time we were there. The building was very quiet (we went during off-season). I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta - the location was perfect for our needs: we were a short taxi ride from dinner/drinks/shopping/art galleries/fun in the Romantic Zone to the north and a (fairly) short taxi ride to outdoor adventuring to the south.

  I have to admit, after culling through hundreds of places to stay in PV, that the photos, detailed description, and prior reviews of Tony's place is what sold me. I am familiar with Conchas Chinas and knew I wanted to book our trip to this beautiful area. We have two kids (12 girl & 13 boy) so we needed not only room for them but also access to a beach. We were very happy with our decision. Tony's hospitality and unending patience with my many questions prior to our trip made our time in PV the best! His place is beautiful and the views are perfect! The sound of the ocean waves with all the windows open is so calming. The pool was a big hit with us after hours on the beach. We had it all to ourselves! Towels and floats are provided, too. Kids loved seeing all the iguanas nearby in the jungle. The location of Tony's place is great in that we could walk down to Lindo Mar for eating at La Playita or to El Set - great brunch on Sunday. The walk back is a bit steep at one corner, but you take it slow and enjoy the beautiful foliage and well kept condos on the way. I highly recommend a day pass at El Presidente on the way south to Mismaloya. The very reasonable price allows acces to their beautiful beach, towels, chairs, umbrellas, pool (swim up bar) and restaurants. Plus you get credit back to spend on food and drinks. If the weather is good, you can parasail from the beach, too. We would take a taxi or bus (taxis come to your door and bus stop is at bottom of hill across from El Set) into town to experience the southern end of PV, my favorite area! So much to see and do and eat! Lots of shopping at the mercado and enjoying the island on Rio Cuale (rickety bridges were a hit with the kids) walking on Los Muertos beach, eating - so many great places, strolling the Malecon, etc. We only made it to Nuevo Vallarta once for swimming with the dolphins, but unless you like cookie cutter crowded all-inclusive resorts, I think Tony's place was the quintessential get away from the hustle and bustle of our lives. I'm glad we chose to stay a week so we could just spend a day just relaxing at his place and exploring the area. Thank you Tony for allowing us to stay and providing all the comforts of home. The washer/dryer alone was a blessing! We'll definitely come back again and my parents are hoping to book soon.

  My husband & I spent 2 weeks in this lovely condo. Everything about it is just spectacular! The view reaches out towards the bay and all the way south to Mismaloya. Sunsets are fantastic every day! The condo is very luxurious and the modern kitchen is just great. We will keep going back again and again!

  Booking this condo was a fantastic experience. Tony was very committed to getting us the contract and condo information as soon as possible. He was also very quick to respond back if we had questions. I appreciated that. My husband, stepson, and I stayed at this condo over a long Memorial Weekend. It is one of the most amazing areas of PV, very charming. Tony gave great directions to the home. The property management office sent someone to give us the keys and show us around the condo. Everyone in the building was friendly. The furnishings were very nice. The view from each bedroom was fantastic. Plenty of room to spread out after a long day in the sun. If you didn’t feel like cooking there’s a binder with area restaurants listed in it. The condo is a short walk to a beach (easy street)... The bus stop and taxis are also down the hill which is convenient... The internet and USA calling was also another great amenity. We have stayed all over PV in the past but truly fell in love with Conchas Chinas.

  Four of us stayed at this condo for my son's wedding. The owner was very friendly and helpful prior to our visit- he made sure we received all of the necessary information for arriving and staying at the condo. The property managers met us upon arrival and they were also helpful & friendly. A lovely spot, with a great view!

  We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in this condo. We are two couples, one from suburban Chicago, the other from Colorado. We are all experienced travelers and in our young sixties. The views here are simply spectacular beyond belief! The owner has clearly done a full re-do within the last couple of years, e.g. granite coutertops, all new stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms, etc. Beyond that, the location is terrific; a six minute walk down to the bus and cab stand and then only a 5-10 minute ride to the best places in town. All in all, a very fine experience. We are already planning our trip back next year!!

  Owner response: There is so much to do in PV. If it's your first time, I really suggest staying in the South Side instead of Nuevo. All the best restaurants and views of the ocean and jungle are on the south side. I try to cater to my guests suggesting restaurants and tours according to their interests. As I said before, PV is the closest thing to paradise on earth as I have ever experienced. And I've been around!

  We have been to PV several times and our visit to this condo in Feb. 2011 is by far the best accommodations we have had. The view of Banderas Bay is absolutely stunning and were very impressed with modern kitchen complete with granite countertop, filtered water, icemaker and microwave among other items. We slept with the windows open and heard the ocean each night and enjoyed the fantastic view. We took advantage of the local phone line to make restaurant reservations (try the Red Cabbage!) and check out local attractions (IFC Home Tour, diving, whale watching, etc.). Also, the USA line allowed us to check in with family and the airlines without having to figure out how to make an international call on my cell phone. Both the local property manager and the owner checked in with me to make sure everything was going well. I really appreciated that! We were really surprised to have access to a laptop which allowed our group to view photos while we were there and check our email. The condo is in a very upscale neighborhood and we felt totally safe and had easy access to everything. Can't wait to return!

  Owner response: None of my reviewers have mentioned the Apple TV there. With so many things to do in PV, including doing nothing and just daydreaming on the lounge looking out upon the bay, why waste the time watching a movie! Tony

  My husband and I have been visiting our favorite paradise, Puerto Vallarta, for the past 10 years. A few years ago we discovered this spectacular condo and found it to be our new "home" whenever we visit. The views are truly amazing, and the condo is marvelously appointed - from the kitchen with granite countertop and every possible amenity to the spacious living area and lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. One of our favorite things is the glassed-in master bathroom tub with a view all the way south to the famous Los Arcos of Mismaloya. It truly is a slice of paradise within a beautiful city combining lush jungle and beautiful sandy & rocky beaches. One of our favorite things to do is to walk around the Conchas Chinas neighborhood, known locally as the Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta. A fun beach path leads all the way from Conchas Chinas beach to Los Muertos beach, perfect for picture-taking, beach-combing, and just gazing at the blue, blue ocean. We simply cannot wait to return!

  Owner response: I love it when people have a wonderful time! This was my favorite place when I was looking to buy, which was a very long process. I think I viewed almost everything in my price rage over a couple pf weeks! Thank God my Realtor is a friend, anyone else would have gave up on me!
