About this property

1 BR 2 BA Penthouse Los Muertos Beach 1200 SF, 1 BR Loft Penthouse - Best View and Location in PV

Welcome to Amapas 353

Amapas 353 was my first home in Puerto Vallarta, and it's still my favorite place to stay.

What attracted me was its unique combination of location and privacy. Perched above Los Muertos Beach, the penthouse offers sweeping views of Banderas Bay while placing you just steps from the beach, the Romantic Zone, restaurants, galleries, and nightlife. Yet when you're ready to relax, you can retreat to your own private top-floor sanctuary.

Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on the ocean-view terrace, spending the afternoon at Mantamar Beach Club, or watching the sunset from the rooftop pool, Amapas 353 makes it easy to experience the very best of Puerto Vallarta.

Why Guests Love Staying Here

One of the things that makes this penthouse different is its layout.

The king bedroom is tucked away on the mountain side of the building, creating a quiet retreat that's separate from the living and entertaining spaces. The open living room, fully stocked kitchen, ocean-view terrace, and cozy loft provide comfortable gathering spaces for couples, friends, or small families.

Just one floor above the penthouse is one of Puerto Vallarta's most beautiful rooftop terraces. Enjoy panoramic views of Banderas Bay, relax by the pool, prepare dinner on the barbecue, or simply watch the sun disappear into the Pacific.

Experience the Romantic Zone

Leave your car behind.

From Amapas 353, you're only a short walk to Los Muertos Beach, Mantamar Beach Club, the Romantic Zone, galleries, restaurants, cafés, and some of Puerto Vallarta's best nightlife.

One of my favorite things about staying here is that everything feels close enough to walk, yet the penthouse remains just far enough above the activity to offer privacy when you want it.

A Note About the Neighborhood

One of the reasons many guests choose Amapas 353 is its location overlooking Los Muertos Beach and the Romantic Zone. The neighborhood is lively, walkable, and full of great restaurants, beach clubs, and entertainment.

On some evenings, the nearby Top Sky Bar at Almar Resort hosts live entertainment until approximately 10:00 PM. From the ocean-view terrace, many guests enjoy watching parts of the shows while taking in the views of Banderas Bay.

Inside the penthouse, double-pane windows and sliding glass doors help reduce outside sound, and the primary bedroom is located on the opposite side of the building from the beach and entertainment. Blackout and sheer curtains throughout the condo provide additional privacy and comfort.

If you're looking for a peaceful retreat within walking distance of Puerto Vallarta's most vibrant beach and nightlife district, Amapas 353 offers an excellent balance of convenience, views, and privacy.

Why I Bought Amapas 353

When I first started looking for a home in Puerto Vallarta, I wanted a place where I could walk almost everywhere.

Amapas 353 immediately stood out because it combined beautiful ocean views, direct beach access, and a location close enough to enjoy the Romantic Zone without needing a car. It became my first home in Puerto Vallarta and started what eventually became Poole Properties.

Even today, I still enjoy sitting on the terrace with a cup of coffee in the morning or watching the sunset from the rooftop pool.

Glad to Host

I'm John, owner of Amapas 353 and Poole Properties.

I personally own and regularly stay in every property I offer. If you'd like recommendations for my favorite restaurants, beach clubs, coffee shops, or hidden spots around Puerto Vallarta, I'm always happy to help.

My goal is simple—to create the kind of experience that brings guests back year after year.

Glad to host!

Great vacation in a relaxing property close to the beach and great restaurants! Slight hill to come back up, but overall worth it for the fantastic sunset views from both the unit and the rooftop pool. Well maintained unit! Only drawback was construction noise from next door backside, but we still enjoyed our week!

Fabulous condo in a spectacular location

We've been to PV dozens of times over 20 years, and this is easily the best location we've ever had. For a couple getting away for a few days, this place can't be beat. The pool us just a flight up, but we spend all of our time at Mantamar Beach Club anyway, and this place is about a 2-minute walk from there, just down one flight of stairs to the beach. The place is new, very clean, and the bed was the most comfortable we've ever had in Vallarta. The next time it's just the two of us heading back to Vallarta, this is where we will hope to stay.

This condo was probably the best rental I’ve ever had. The view was spectacular and it was SO clean and comfortable. Easy communication and Joel was very pleasant.

Great location, hospitality, and comforts

We really enjoyed our stay. Stunning views of the ocean and los Muertos beach, comfortable bed, nice amenities. Very nice and responsive management (thanks Joel!). One thing to be aware of is that the Almar hotel across the street opened a rooftop bar with shows most weekend nights. The bar is at about the same level as this unit. They can be loud but end by 10:30 , with the windows closed it’s manageable.

Amazing View with Everytbing you need

Great spot to relax and enjoy some much needed “you” time. A very short walk up to the roof top infinite pool. Pool area has a restroom and little grill area, along with long chairs to relax under the sun, or sit in the pool and enjoy the views. Walks to the beach are under 5 mins. There’s a little store that has groceries and alcohol less than a 5 min walk. Neighborhood bars and restaurants are like 5-10 min walks. Loved the area, loved the people. Joel Canales was our host while staying there. Made sure I had everything in order from getting to the place from the airport, until I left. He goes above and beyond to help you out there. Knowledgeable about the area and has some good recommendations for restaurants and other things to do around the PV. You’ll be in great hands with Joel. All in all I’d want to stay there anytime I’d stay in PV.

Beautiful Views, Great Location

The property manager Joel was fantastic. Our flight got in quite early and Joel arranged to get us access to the property even with our early arrival. He also arranged to have grocery shopping done, so the condo was stocked when we got there. Joel also assisted in lining up a boat and driver to take us out for a day on the water which was a lot of fun. The condo is beautiful and the views are simply amazing. The rooftop pool is incredibly nice and we spent a fair amount of time there. The location of the property is convenient to the Romantic Zone. It was unusually humid when we were there, so while it is walkable to restaurants, etc, we opted to take cabs and Ubers (super easy to line up) for most of our trips into town. PV is such a special place and this condo really allowed us to enjoy our time at the property while giving us a convenient location for doing all of the things the city has to offer. Having a property Manager like Joel helped to make this one of our best trips to PV so far!

Nothing short of Amazing! We spent 9 nights here and loved every minute of it. Johns place is immaculate with everything you could possibly need. From the fully equipped kitchen to beach and rain umbrellas to a stand-up paddle board should you want it. The view is simply breathtaking. Both from the condo and the rooftop pool. All of the restaurants and beach are blocks away with easy elevator access to Amapas which leads you right into town. I work remote and have multiple Zoom calls a day. The internet was solid and I didn't encounter any issues. To top it all off, there's Joel. Such an amazing guy. He was there to great and show me around the unit and explain where everything was. The bonus was that all we had to do was make a list of what we wanted for groceries, drinks, and he delivered it! We settled out tab with him on the last day via credit card and were on our way. This will be the first place I look for availability next time I'm planning a trip to PV!

Stunning Views and Penthouse

We really enjoyed our stay at Amapas. The terrace overlooking the sea and the rooftop pool were lovely. The unit was clean and stocked with essentials. The location is great if you want to be by Mantamar, Blue Chairs and Sapphire Beach Clubs (you can see right into the pool and hotel of Mantamar). Note that you will hear the dance beats of the beach clubs since they are so close if the slider is open. The rooftop infinity pool is great though the hot tub was not heated when we visited. The backside of the property sits on a busy street (the bedroom side) but the windows provide adequate soundproofing. Our manager was very helpful.

AMAZING VIEW/SOUND OF OCEAN WAVES ABOVE LOS MUERTOS BEACH

Overall this is amazing unit with the most incredible ocean view overlooking Los Muertos Beach. Booking: John was easy to reach and very responsive for questions. Excellent host. Location: this is very well located in the Zona Romantica at the top of just one long flight of stairs for 5 min beach access to Los Muertos Beach (Blue Chairs); just a 10 min walk to all of the restaurants and stores. Building: very new 7 story building with a nice gym and excellent rooftop infinity pool. Unit: very spacious one bedroom plus loft with an open kitchen/living room that features the most incredible unobstructed panoramic view of the ocean. Most rentals in the area claim to be ocean view but in reality look at other buildings - this is the real deal. You get to enjoy the sound of the rolling ocean waves 24/7. Having coffee or a glass of wine on the balcony is absolutely amazing. The furnishings are excellent and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need including soap, shampoo, dish soap, laundry detergent/dryer sheets and even reusable grocery bags for shopping. Plenty of towels, beach towels, and linens. It was perfect for 3 adults. Concierge: Joel is the local concierge/assistant that checks up on you daily - he is great! He helped answer questions and addressed any issues we had super quick. This is a huge plus while on vacation. Things to note: the bedroom does get some traffic noise from the highway that is behind the building but we still slept well. The cozy loft with the single bed is accessed by a steep flight of stairs that may be difficult for some people. I highly recommend this condo and look forward to staying again soon.
