We spent a quiet relaxed week in this modern studio in Nuevo Vallarta. The apartment was clean and fully equiped. Firm king size bed. Huge balcony with an ocean view. Pods of whales in the morning and glorious sunsets every evening. The grounds and pools were beautifully maintained and there was never a rush to get a palapa on the beach as they were plentiful. Choice of 3 types of chairs and bamboo mats to keep tender tootsies from the hot sand. Miles of beach were just like a promenade with walkers and runners. Grocery store and restaurants within a 5 minute walk or by local shuttle. Lots of restaurants within a $3 cab ride. Norma was lovely to deal with and very informative. I expect that we wiil return soon.

Owner response:Beautiful guests like these are our wonderful clientele! Thank you! Our condo is new and in great shape for it's the owner's special home vacation and not a rental per se. The condo has many quality upgrades and special attention to detail was given to its zen decor by award winning designer. Our ample balcony on the 8th floor - with two chaises lounge, palm trees and dining table - provides exquisite views of the gardens, pools, ocean, beach, sunsets, and more! All of the condo is fully equipped for all your needs with modern amenities - crushed ice dispenser for your Margaritas, A/C, cable TV, hair dryer, etc. The resort complex is located right on the beach, is highly secured, WIFI, clean and well maintained with a great private beach, best golf course and a fabulous spa/sports center! The complex is away from noisy, rowdy and dirty areas; truly a piece of paradise you will want to go back to! Personnel is very nice and helpful and at your service 24 hours. Lots of nearby diverse restaurants for all wallets, many water sports, and an array of land and water tours available for a most enjoyable and memorable stay. Mexico at its best for a great value!!!

This was our first time visiting this complex; our canadian friends have been going to Playa Royale for years. They were so right...it is paradise. They rented a one bedroom on the first floor; we rented this FABULOUS studio on the 8th floor. Our view was superior and this studio was so much more spacious than the one bedroom our friends rented. This condo is impeccably decorated, clean, and looks brand spanking new. Breakfast out on the spacious deck was a beautiful way to start each day looking out at the water over the treetops. We REALLY loved the option of using one of the many grills available at the complex for cooking and eating with our friends under the community palapas. The beach sand is soft on your feet and you can walk for miles and miles and miles. The complex is a 10 minute cab ride to Walmart and you can walk 5 minutes to a wonderful shopping mall with grocery store, Starbuck's, etc. Norma (the owner) is wonderful to work with and we will return to this lovely studio next year.

We needed a quick getaway from Chicago's winter in mid-Feb. We called Norma and a few days later were in her gorgeous condo. It is lovely and very well-equipped. Great kitchen with everything you need and more. Previous tenants even left the beginnings of margaritas to throw in the blender! The view is great and we had breakfast every morning on the lovely little terrace. Wonderful CD's to listen to (from Sinatra to Hendrix)and just a great overall experience. Definitely a place to return to. Adios!

Owner response:I'm glad you enjoyed it so much... we hope to see you again soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this tastefully appointed condo overlooking the ocean and sunsets in Playa Royale! Everything you need for a relaxing vacation in Mexico and very safe. We rented bikes and went to Buejos Rios (SP) for lunch. Great place for long walks on the beach and great massages. The pool area is quiet and relaxing and the ocean is beautiful. The complex has a grocery store within walking distance. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this condo to friends and family. The owner is quite helpful and the accommodations are spectacular! Thanks Sharon an Ed

Owner response:Thank you so much and looking forward to your return!!!

Our wonderful guests from Canada sent me an email and I quote them, "It is clear that you have put a lot of effort in planning this nice studio. We have taken permission to have a couple of friends of ours visit the apartment because, in our opinion, it is fully equipped and very confortable, with a marvelous view of the sunset." People looking for design and quality, this is the place to rent. You will enjoy our studio inmensely..... give it a try; you will be pleasantly surprised!!! THIS IS A POSITIVE COMMENT! HE IS A RETURNING GUEST!

I found this to be a very nice condo. It is superbly decorated and furnished. The kitchen has all the modern equipment and cooking utensils necessary and the water is safe for drinking. The king size bed is very comfortable. There is a sense of serenity and peace in the condo, especially watching the sunsets on the balcony. The beach is just a few steps away which is a definite plus. I would definitely recommend this condo for your next retreat to Nuevo Vallarta.

Owner response:Thank you Alex, such a gracious person! See you again soon!
