Peninsula Vallarta - Best Valued Condo - No additional Guest Fees

The condo was wonderful and staff were very helpful. Our only issue was the water temperature for showers but that may be something out of the control of the owners. The hot water for showers were unpredictable. Otherwise, great kitchen supplies for eating in, location was good, towels galore, comfortable beds.

We would return.

My family and I had a good time. Relaxed and everything was clean

Well stocked, large 3 bedroom condo with stunning views of beach and mountains. Nice bathrooms, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, good bathrooms, nice linens. Super, Lovely pools (one is 150 meters long! Great for swim workout or reading book in waist deep water while overlooking waves and beach). Friendly staff. Great fitness center. Conveniently located ($4 Uber from airport). $21 massage (plus tip) was a great value.

Only downside was the brand new beach bar and club next door that had very loud dance music that greatly disturbed the tranquility of beach and pool. After complaining to the property manager (Oswaldo is fantastic!!), who talked to the club, the club turned down the music, buts it’s still too loud to have windows open (Friday to Sunday 1pm to 11pm club is open and playing loud music), and is an unwanted distraction if you’re not into club music. If the club music was nonexistent then this property would be a 5 rating.

Spouse and I did a ten-day stay at Andre's place in Peninsula Tower 3. This was ridiculously spacious for just two people, but the price was better than many smaller places we were looking at. Before I get to the pluses, which are many, full disclosure on a couple hiccups we had during our ten days. (1) Somebody on the sixth floor broke a water valve and our water was shut off for several hours while they fixed the issue. Not the condo owner's fault, and building management resolved it reasonably quickly. (2) There was construction going on directly to the south. which was sorta noisy when you have the deck doors open given that you're on the second floor. Shouldn't be an issue for future guests since the building (a restaurant, maybe?) progressed significantly WHILE WE WERE THERE. It'll probably be a nice amenity for future guests.

Now the good stuff. View is incredible. Pool is fantastic. Can get busy, but we never had a problem finding a chaise/cabana. Bonus, which I hadn't seen in any of my research -- they opened a pool bar in Tower 2 (Maggie's) and had servers roaming the pool area. Food, too, which wasn't bad. Of course, it's a condo, so you can BYOB to the pool (or the palapas/chaises out front on the beach), but Maggie's was a nice bonus. Exercise room on the first floor was great, too -- a little cramped, but good variety of machines, weights, and equipment.

Groceries are nearby -- Soriana is a half mile walk to the north, and uber/taxi back. We actually liked the Soriana to the south at Plaza Caracol -- shopping center with lots of local flavor...visit the empanada stand. Buy your water at the condo -- the concierge on the parking level will get you a 5-gallon jug for 30 pesos.

Restaurants/shopping nearby. La Isla just over the bridge to the south if you get the itch, including H&M if you forgot some clothes at home (guilty). Cross Blvd. Ascencio for more local flavor -- a couple good food trucks at Food Park PV, some good restaurants up Av. Fluvial (be prepared to hear a lot less English), and we LOVED Mariscos Ochos Tostadas, which is in the new development at the NE corner of Ascensio/Fluvial. They have a couple other locations, too...good drinks, and amazing seafood for ridiculously good prices. Shrimp tacos with queso...drool. Great service, nice atmosphere, Liga MX on TV, lots of locals.

Would definitely stay at Andre's again.
