Imagine a stress-free paradise with gorgeous panoramic views of the ocean and distant mountains beyond, where you can walk out onto a 10-mile-long beach, or luxuriate in one of the many pools on the property.... exercise in the gym or on the tennis courts, or simply relax and pamper yourself with a massage in the spa... this is Punta Esmeralda, simply the finest resort on the Bay of Banderas! Watch the sunset from the balcony overlooking the sweep of the ocean, or sip cocktails in the private ‘plunge pool’ - this will be your dream vacation.
Punta Esmeralda is an exclusive, gated resort community which has the advantages of privacy, seclusion and security, with easy access to nearby shops and villages. This private resort features beautiful landscaping, eight pools, two tennis courts, a gym, spa, a children’s playground and a private beach. The Beach Club has a restaurant and wireless Internet access.
Our unit is a spacious, 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom 2900 sq. ft condo on the beachfront, with large balconies that have magnificent views of the Bay. Vaulted ceilings, professional interior design, contemporary artwork and furnishings create an ambience of comfort and luxury. Construction is of the highest quality, with contemporary Mexican design. The fully-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances has granite countertops; the bathrooms have marble countertops and there are marble floors throughout the unit. All three bedrooms have split air conditioners and bathrooms en suite. The master suite features a king-sized bed, a walk-in closet and a two-person soaking tub. The main guest room has a king-sized bed and its own private balcony with full sea views. The third room has two queen-sized beds, suitable for two adults or four children. Concierge services are available, including food delivery and babysitting. Maid service is available by arrangement. For leisure time, there is a TV, a DVD player, an iPod dock, high-speed Internet access, and several board games and books for your enjoyment.
There are endless activities available in the Bay area to cater to all tastes. Spend the day on the beach, or enjoy the many water-related amenities - kayaking, jet-skiing, parasailing, windsurfing or sailing. Cruise the harbor to watch whales and dolphins; take the children on a pirate boat for the day; or enjoy and exhilarating canopy tour in the surrounding hills. For golfers, there are seven world-class courses in the vicinity. In the evening, the exciting nightlife of Puerto Vallarta and nearby towns beckons... or watch the lights of Puerto Vallarta and the ships in the Bay from the large balcony.
Punta Esmeralda is conveniently situated with ready access to all the towns on the Bay of Banderas. It is five minutes from Bucerias and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, ten minutes from Nuevo Vallarta, and twenty-five minutes from the nightlife of Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta is an old colonial town that has undergone a renaissance in the last decade. There is ample sightseeing; shopping opportunities ranging from quaint little stalls selling local wares to international fashion boutiques; and a full range of restaurants, from tiny vendors to exceptional establishments with world-class cuisine. Nuevo Vallarta has more shops, restaurants, beach activities and nightlife. Within walking distance of the resort are two small towns, Bucerias and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, both with great authentic Mexican character, shopping and local food. Further north is Punta de Mita, a growing resort development, and Sayulita, famous for art and a surfer’s Mecca. We recommend that you rent a car, but alternative transport is available since taxis are easy to get, and there is a bus stop just outside Punta Esmeralda on the main highway around the Bay.
Come and experience for yourself this unforgettable, magical place. You will have the vacation of a lifetime!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
I am a physician in private practice. My wife Madee and I live in Minnesota, USA and we've been married for 17 years; we have 4 children. Madee has a background in interior design, which is reflected in the condo. Both of us enjoy travel, and gardening for relaxation. We hope to be able to spend our winters at the condo in our retirement years, which are still a long way off.
Why the Owner Chose Punta Esmeralda
We have travelled quite widely among coastal resorts in Mexico, but fell in love with the Puerto Vallarta area a few years ago. The condo is in an ideal location for us - easy access to shops and nearby towns, but not right in Puerto Vallarta itself. The development appealed to us for its very high quality construction and beautiful landscaping, and for the numerous amenities on the property. Combined with the beachfront location and the magnificent views, the condo was irresistible and we have been delighted with it since.
