  We spent a month at the Bayview Grand Marina and met so many awesome people; condo owners and renters, it was the best vacation! As Carleton and Valina indicate on the site; Caution: you may find yourself spending more time in the condo than you anticipated! ... is absolutely true! We did not typically leave the condo till close to noon since the view was so phenomenal!!! The entire staff at the complex is fantastic! The snack bar folks are super; thanks so much Joel, Patricio and staff!!! We highly recommend the complex! We were in 1501N one of the units that Carlton & Valina rent out. Very well stocked with all that you need. Every night an awesome sunset too! Thanks

  As soon as you walk into the apartment you can't help but be in awe of the view. The moment you walk in you can see the amazing bay and the the sun. The place was perfect for us, we went for a girls weekend several of us renting different apartments at the BVG Marina. By far ours was the place to be. Perfect for 2 can fit a 3rd, great little kitchen with all the necessities 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom (which was great travelling with girls.) and the living room with the amazing view was great for drinks and getting ready. The grounds are amazing the staff super helpful and the pools are like in the movies. Carlton was as friendly as could be very easy to book and process. Highly recommanded

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay of five weeks at the BVG in Carleton & Valina's unit. What a beautiful place, the unit as well as the complex. Being right on the beach sure had it's plus, and found that the prices of the food and beverages very reasonable around the pool. The unit was very clean and very well set up for a comfortable stay. The view from the balcony was just awesome. You will find yourself spending a lot of time relaxing in the two lounge chairs after a day by the pool. The Marina is a short walk away to lots of good restaurants and the bus stops right outside the BVG to take you to town or into Zihuatanejo where there is lots of great restaurants.

  We stayed in this condo for a week over Christmas and were totally impressed! The view was the best we have ever had in any rental unit in Ixtapa in the 25 years we have been going there. This condo was well furnished and very comfortable. We spent every morning sitting out on the deck drinking coffee and watching the wonderful waves, and even a few dolphins! The sunsets from the condo were awesome! Carlton and Valina were very responsive to any questions we had. We are definately planning on returning to Ixtapa again, and wouldn't stay anywhere else!

  My wife and I have traveled to Ixtapa many times over the past 10 years and nothing compares to this complex and condo. Carleton and Valina were a pleasure to deal with and more than helpful. We also brought our young son (3yrs old) and the pool was simply amazing and safe for him! The kids play room was also great and provided a nice break from the mid day from the sun. The views from the condo are breathtaking and it is outfitted with everything you need to have an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We highly recommend renting this condo to anyone considering and will return once the weather turns cold up here in Canada!

  We just came back from our trip to Ixtapa-Zihiuatanejo, and had a blast. We are a family of 5: my wife and I, who slept in the bedroom, my 4 year old daughter, who slept in the convertible bed, and my 2 year old twins, who still use their portable cribs. This is the second year in a row I rent this same condo for two weeks during the summer. Last year it was owned by a different person, and I must say the new owners, Carleton and Valina are very easy to deal with, and very nice people, who also have great taste to decorate their two condos. They have a local operator, Best Properties, who is in charge of meeting you upon arrival, showing you the condo, etc. They can also do grocery shopping for you for a fee of $200.00 pesos, about $17 USD. The condo is beautiful, with very nice and modern furniture, and in great shape. The new owners did some improvements which made our stay even more comfortable than last time. Oh, and the view is breathtaking! We like Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo a lot, and have been there many times. But we stopped going years ago because there are not many good hotels there. Those in Zihua are boutique hotels, and those in Ixtapa are old and in bad shape. But since BVG Marina opened, we are back. The building is only about two years old, very modern and has got a fantastic infinity pool, a jacuzzi, a great beach, a kids day care, a pool bar, a spa, and a gym. Besides, with young kids, a condo makes more sense to us than a hotel. Having the kitchen is convenient and it makes the trip a lot less expensive. We made most of our breakfasts and dinners there, and did go out a few times. And this condo is 2 or 3 times the size of a hotel room, plus you have free internet access, free telephone calls (within reasonable limits), a Play Station 3 / DVD player, etc. The food at the pool bar is both good and VERY inexpensive. A Virgin Mary is only $20 pesos (about $1.50 USD), a Cesar Salad is $40 (about $3.30 USD), and so on. The reason being this is not a business, but a service to the owners and renters by the condominium association. This provides for great meals at much lower cost than any hotel I have been to. And the spa treatments are also well priced. Most 50 minutes massages are below $400.00 pesos, the equivalent of $33 USD. Get the picture? You get a lot, for very little. This can’t be beaten! Regarding the destination, we have been to all Mexican beach resorts, and think Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is the best one during the summer. Summer is t

  We had a great vacation in Ixtapa in this beautiful condo. The group I came with rented 8 other condos. The condo has a great view, is clean, well-kept and very comfortable. The building and pool are beyond compare. Carleton and Valina were very accommodating and helpful. We loved Ixtapa and when we return, we will definitely consider this condo for our accommodation.

  Wow!!! Excelentes vacaciones. Mi hijo de 18 años, mi esposo y yo nos quedamos en este condo el pasado del 10 al 17 de Julio del 2011. Ixtapa está increible y el condominio es privado con unas facilidades que te permiten descansar y divertirte a la vez. El condo es mejor que lo que describen Carleton y Valina. La cocina está super bien equipada con utensilios de excelente calidad tan buenos que ya estoy cambiando mi licuadora por una igual a la de este condo. La propiedad está limpia y bien cuidada, decorada con muy buen gusto. Además del condo, el propietario te presta bicicleta, juegos de mesa, tiene una amplia colección de peliculas y series de television para todos los gustos y edades, todas las noches terminabamos nuestro dia con una pelicula.... Hay una ciclopista que te lleva hasta Playa Linda y además te pasa por una reserva natural que a mi hijo le encantó....aunque está bastante lejos, así es que tomate tu tiempo si deseas ir. La localización es cerca de la Marina, y se puede ir al centro de Ixtapa a pie, pero si lo deseas tambien puedes tomar el camión (5 pesos) que te lleva a la parte más bulliciosa de Ixtapa o bien a Zihuatanejo (8 pesos). También tiene Internet, por si necesitas checar tu correo o hacer algo de trabajo. La alberca es lo máximo está hecha para que parezca una extensión del mar, por lo que te relajas increible...por cierto aunque esté nublado ten cuidado ya que el Sol te quema igual !!!! Carleton y Pope son dos personas excelentes, serviciales y siempre contestaron el correo....y el precio suuuper accesible..... Todo me encantó!!!! Definitivamente volveria y si uds desean tener unas vacaciones estupendas no duden...es lo mejor ! Definitivamente

  The condo was perfect for my husband, my 18-year old son and me. It has a great sight, and is beautifully decorated. It contains everything you need, including towels and the kitchen is fully equipped with really good-quality fridge, blender, dishwasher, tableware frying pans and and a really silent washing/drying machine too. The owner also lends you board games, bike, and if you like to watch TV, it has a great collection of of movies and series, plus connection to the Internet. The perfect vacations can be spend at Ixtapa in this condo. The location is near the Marina, with cheap buses passing every 5 minutes maximum, that can take you to the center of Ixtapa or to Zihuatanejo. The bike road takes you to a paradise!!! But be careful it's really long.... The ocean is magnificent and the tides are great to surf for teenagers. In our stay it rained, but only at night, so early in the morning we could walk in the beach, without an excessive sun. The facilities of BVG are excellent, they have a business center, and a games room with a billiard and a big TV. The owner is a very trustable and friendly person, always answers your e-mails, and worries about if you need something else... Definitely we would stay again at this condo....

  We really enjoyed our stay in Ixtapa at the end of March, 2011 for two weeks, in this beautiful condo. Having the use of the bicycles was wonderful, as we found a great paved biking trail that took us all the way to Playa Linda (9.7 km. each way). The condo is clean, well-kept and very comfortable. The building and pool are beyond compare. The ability to call Canada free was an added bonus. Carleton and Valina were very accommodating and helpful. We loved Ixtapa and when we return, we will definitely consider this condo for our accommodation.

  My wife and I stayed at this condo at the end of January 2011 for a week. We would love to stay longer next time. the views are simply amazing as you can see from the photos. the condo was very clean and had everything we needed. the kitchen is well designed. there is no kitchen table but plenty of room at the eating bar. If you don't wish to cook there are numerous dining options available near by. By the pool is a little cafe and eating area. the food is remarkably fresh and tasty. and the margaritas they make are great. We were pleasantly surprised how good the food was there for such a reasonable price.Across the road are several restaurants. we ate at one of them the last evening there. Some of the restaurants at the marina are pricey but the food is very good. the swimming pool at the bvm is awesome. great water temperature and it was never crowded. From the pool area, we saw a large turtle walk up the beach, and a few dolphins swimming close by in the ocean. The last day we saw whales in the distance. it was amazing. Most evenings we relaxed on the balcony of the condo and watched fishermen nearby. i would recommend a good sunhat when sitting on the balcony or at the pool. There is no need for a car rental if staying here. Most of the town is within walking distance to shopping and cafes. And there are buses to most attractions and the little town, Zihuantanejo. An interesting day can be spent there sight-seeing and touring around the marina. And a stop at the fish taco place (fat mermaid) by the boardwalk is a must. We never had to wait more than a minute for a bus and it stops right outside from the condo complex. Overall, our vacation at the condo was great. we would recommend to friends. The only complaint we had were the elevators in the complex which needed some work done on them which may already be completed now. We loved the fact that there were no cruise ships stopping in town. It made for a nice quiet vacation but with plenty of action near by if you wanted it.
