About Andreas
We are both in our 50ties. Javier is Mexican and is architect. I’m (Andreas) born in Germany living 20 years in Mexico. I studied business law and journalism. So I open my own press and promotion agency on the side. I had my own columns in different newspapers and magazines. The promotion for hotel chains broth me also to Mexico. Playa Del Carmen was at that time a little fishermen’s village and here I dripped in to Javier. So we build our first hotel in Playa del Carmen (Hotel Aventura Mexicana) and opened 3 restaurants. My partner and I sold in 2006 and we were looking around for a change. So when we came to Puerto Vallarta, we said: Yes welcome to the real Mexico with culture and very friendly, open minded locals and a great scene. So we moved with our 2 dogs to Puerto Vallarta. We love it here and made in a short time a lot of friends.
Andreas purchased this condo in 2011
Why Andreas chose Alta Vista
Puerto Vallarta has a charming small-town feel, cosmopolitan lifestyle, privileged climate. Just over the River Cuale bridge, and only a few blocks from the Malecon, this part of town has a unique charm and character of its own. With a colorful blend of the old and the new, Puerto Vallarta offers an unrivaled combination of simple pleasures and sophisticated charms. Fine dining restaurants, art galleries, upscale shopping centers, internet cafes and nightclubs peacefully coexist alongside taco stands, street-side vendors selling Mexican handcrafts, traditional open air markets and strolling mariachi bands. The people are very friendly and open minded and here are a lot of opportunities for people with a different lifestyle. Gay bars and clubs are close by and also the famous beaches 'Playa Del Los Muertos' what is a meeting point for people all over the world. Nobody has to be in a closet, in Puerto Vallarta you are free to enjoy yourself and make new friends.
What makes this condo unique
You have your privacy, private large pool and sun deck with grill. Shopping, beaches, clubs and bars nearby and for sure we are open minded and gay friendly. Very close to all gay bars. Brushed by cool breezes, the rooftop terrace boasts amazing views of the Bay of Bandera's including the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the picturesque rooftops of the town.
Cool off in the private swimming pool, soak up the sun, relax on the double-size lounge under the shade arbor, read a book in the hammock, or view a fantastic sunset and the evening fireworks. The dining table at the sun deck can accommodate up to 6 people all these, covered patio with sitting area, a Grill and on the sun deck. THE SUN DECK AND THE POOL IS PRIVATE AND WILL BE JUST BY YOU.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Dear Andreas,
I am sorry that you took much of my review as a negative! It was not meant that way. We were fully aware of the stairs when we rented your condo and took it on as a challenge. Our health is good and we are from Colorado where we hike a lot.
We purposely choose to stay in Old Town rather than the Marina or the Hotel Zone so that we can experience a more authentic Puerto Vallarta. The big resorts have no personality and could be anywhere!
I can tell that I have offended you and that was not my intent. The price charged for your condo is more than reasonable and the patio/pool area make up for any inconveniences.
I would definitely consider renting from you and Javier again. Javier was most gracious and helpful in answering our questions.
Thank you,
Barbara

Everything we expected
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this condo. It was conveniently located and was a good central location for exploring old town and the Malecon. The outdoor space with its private pool was amazing with several seating options depending on whether you wanted sun or shade. Thank you to Javier who was easy to contact if we needed anything - even helping us with our luggage on arrival and departure.
Off the beaten path in Zona Romantica
My husband and I are in our 60s and I must say that the stairs to the front door were a challenge. By the end of the week we could walk up them without stopping! This may be the first vacation we have not gained weight!! The most outstanding feature of this property is it's lovely patio with pool. Nice shaded areas if you want out of the sun also. I enjoyed the little bed several days for an afternoon siesta. The room amenities are good, but this is not a cook's kitchen. I recommend you eat out. You do not want to carry groceries up those steps! You will awaken to roosters crowing and the sound of a community at work. My husband is a builder, so he was fascinated watching the construction on the high-rise a couple blocks away. Really enjoyed a dip in the pool every night before bed. If you want some exercise and to stay in "real" Puerto Vallarta, then I recommend this property. If you want to be on the beach and steps away from restaurants, then I recommend you look at the hotel zone.
Great private space
First a reality check. It is up a steep hill and there are stairs. And a rooster or two. You won’t be surrounded by gringos. If this turns you off read no further.
We stayed here on a whim when my wife said there was a private pool. “For that price, no way”, I said. But there was. And it was spectacular.
It was exactly as advertised. If you want a place with a great outdoor space with a local flair , this is for you. (My extremely limited Spanish was no barrier). The host(Javier) was gracious and accommodating.
Highly recommended.
Wonderful
Loved the property. The pool and deck is amazing. Had a great stay and would stay again
First Class Vacation Paradise
My stay at the Altavista penthouse condo was excellent and beyond my expectations. I enjoyed very much the unit with the lovely appointed interior and surrounding outdoor living area with the patio and beautiful flowers and plants. The early morning and late evening swims with the gentle warm breezes only added to the relaxing atmosphere of the unit. The sunrises and sunsets were fabulous. The service and assistance by Javier and his staff were second to none. This condo is certainly first class and is in a tropical paradise to be enjoyed by anyone staying there. I am recommending it to family and friends and am planning to come to stay again when visiting Puerto Vallarta.
This unit was a delight.
This lovely unit provided the get away I craved. From the time of checking in to a very early time for checking out, I had no unpleasant surprises. Unit was well equipped and well cared for by the property manager, gardener and housekeeper. Pool was fantastic, grill worked perfectly, the sun shone and life was good.
This unit is very convenient to Basillio Badillo in the Romantic Zone. From Basillio Badillo to the unit door is uphill and then there is the stairway to heaven to climb. Great for those fit and young at heart and those wanting to work off a margarita or two.
There is no real grocery store in the Romantic Zone. Judging from how full restaurants are at all times of day, most people eat out. I enjoyed a simple breakfast on the lovely balcony and used the grill one night, but it required a shopping expedition to the northern end of the Malecon.

Close by are the best restaurants in town and the famous beach 'PLAYA DE LOS MUERTOS' and bar's perfect location for gay people
