Pacific Gold Coast Ocean View Condominium, Mexico

This is probably the apartment in Mexico with the most beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean... It is clean, has everything you need (even air-conditioning!) and Rachael is very helpful in all your needs! Looking forward to going here again soon!

The condo is very roomy and has all important amenities. The premises were clean and the two bathrooms are very convenient, wi-fi works very well as does the satellite TV network. TV programs are mainly in spanish although we do get a few films in english with spanish subtitles, also CNN international is in english. We had the priviledge of a long stay (5 weeks) and were totally thrilled by this wonderful complex which is Vida Del Mar. It is similar to a botanical garden with a great variety of trees and plants all around. The 3 pools are all beautiful and in great settings, although the one we preferred was the one overlooking the ocean and is closest to the condo we rented. One of our greatest experience was watching the waves crash into the rocks in front of the condo, just as the picture shows. The location of the complex is however about 25 kilometers from the large grocery stores in Manzanillo, so it is best to rent a car to really enjoy this wonderful resort. There is a restaurant nearby which serves very good food and has reasonable prices: La Boquita situated in Palma Real which is another resort close by. It is in walking distance (about 30 to 40 minutes depending on pace). Of course the site is built on hills and one must expect to climb stairs to go about the resort, although most premises are also accessible with a car and parking spaces are ample. We rented our car for the full duration of our stay including pick-up and drop-off at the airport: the company we rented from is "VASA" and is very reliable. Their pricing is very competitive and includes full insurance on all types of damages. As for cleaning sheets, towels and clothing, you just need to drop them off in the morning at the reception building (at the site entrance) and they charge about 27 pesos per kilo and is ready on the following day. We had about 10 kilos of washing which cost us the equivalent of 15 $ US twice during our 5 week stay. Big jugs of water are also available at reception for 25 pesos each, and we used 2 of them for our entire stay (there is a dispenser in the condo for these large water jugs and the delivery man can install it for you if desired). The owners`s daughter "Rachael" is very nice and speaks English, French and Spanish.

We were very happy to discover that the pictures reflected the reality . Sometimes what looks like a condo on the beach isn’t. So we were very pleased with our spot over looking the ocean. Plus the grounds, the pools and the beach which is safe for swimming we’re all beautifully kept up. However I’m sad to report that the pebble beach below our room had a lot of plastic trash ie cups bottles bags etc. We picked up over 8 bags of trash and left the beach as it should be, beautiful. It’s a steep walk down and isn’t safe for swimming so I guess the groundskeepers don’t feel a need to maintain it. But it was disappointing to see. However we loved the place and the surrounding community . We will be back !!

great view! place is great easy to get to from the airport. parking was simple. appliances all work well. grounds are beautiful and very well kept. cliff pool was beautiful!

if you're looking to beach all day this is not the place for you. but if you want to just relax and hang this is the place! super quiet and relaxing. great steakhouse and Italian food on the main drag about 20 min.

access to the beach club was fantastic 10 min drive great food and drinks!

You have to have been there to understand how wonderful this little part of Mexico is... :-) Rachael was a great and very flexible host, accomodating all our needs!
