Luxury Living For Those Who Appreciate The Best!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Ron’s lovely condo. I miss laying in the hammock gazing at the emerald green surroundings and watching the hummingbirds at the feeder. The condo is spacious and comfortable with beautiful views all around. The pool is a tranquil oasis and there is always a cool shaded place if it gets too hot. The location is perfect, close enough to walk to the beach and the malecon yet far enough away from the traffic and crowds. Carlos and all of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Ron was always available to answer any questions we had. Thank-you Ron, we hope to return sometime soon.

Ron's place is very beautiful, comfortable and functional. We are three couples, each had our own bedroom and private bathrooms. The views are stunning, the rooms nicely furnished and the kitchen is a dream to work in. We loved the pool and the friendly building staff. Thank you, Ron for a great stay, we hope to be back. Hasta luego!

The location, two blocks from the Zapata marketplace, was the best feature of the condo. We loved going to pick out fresh fruit, vegetables, ripe avocados, cheese, coffee, bread and just-caught shrimp for an evening meal. The vendors are helpful and friendly, we particularly enjoyed buying cheese from the vendor inside the market and also the fishmonger in that location. Plenty of good restaurants in the neighborhood as well - El Brujo served up the best mixed ceviche I've ever had. The nearby Kiosko also has items like cereal, milk - even almond milk!, yogurt, beer and liquor. The condo pool is very inviting, my teenagers liked swimming there after a long hot hike. This location is quieter than the Malecon, which we appreciated, but characteristic Mexico noise abounds: roosters, hawkers selling wares with megaphones, music blasting from houses below the condo. These noises all die down at night, but the roosters wake up early! We spent each morning spotting parakeets, Caciques, orioles, woodpeckers and even the occasional iguana from the deck. In the condo itself the three bedrooms are all very nice, each with a bathroom which made for a comfortable stay with two teens. Very open and airy with great light, views of town, fantastic sliding doors and windows that can open wide - we never needed air conditioning during the day. The hammock was a favorite. Some of the kitchen apparatus are well used, and the furniture - while attractive - a bit worn, but we didn't spend a lot of time sitting around. The beach and Malecon were a very walkable distance for us but less mobile visitors would need to taxi. The condo was clean enough and well suited for our purposes but some out of sight spots in need of attention, though most visitors likely wouldn't even notice. There is a jacuzzi tub but the water pressure being nominal, hard to really use or enjoy. All in all, a lovely place and a very nice time. Friendly neighbors, relaxed vibe. Entrance guards - especially Carlos - always ready to chat or help with directions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the local Mexican culture and cuisine and still be close to the beach and touristy things, Ron’s condo is a great spot. The beach is a short and enjoyable stroll away, yet far enough to filter out the vast majority of the tourists (and pushy vendors).

Here, you will mingle with the very friendly locals while staying in secure and very comfortable quarters. You can shop for fresh meats, seafood, fruits and vegetables at local markets -be sure to go to the market in the morning and pick up some fresh squeezed OJ, warm tortillas, eggs and chorizo and enjoy a scenic breakfast on the terrace- or go to one of the many restaurants.

For day excursions, you can walk to Los Muertos pier and pick up a water taxi to a secluded beach or go whale watching. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive if you want to venture further away or you get tired of lugging things around.

Be aware that the neighborhood comes “alive” in the mornings with a vibrant variety of street sounds. While some may not want this, these noises added to the charm of the location for our group. A backdrop of roosters and dogs talking to each other mixed with a waking city produce a stereophonic aura of sound that is lively and entertaining. Shutting the windows reduces the sounds effectively if you want to sleep in.

Ron is very responsive and accessible in the unlikely event that you have some sort issue pertaining to the condo. and he was a pleasure to work with. To sum up, Ron’s condo provides a fantastic home base in Puerto Vallarta for those who want a mix of culture, food, comfort and fun in the sun.

We rented this apartment for the second time and enjoyed every moment of it. Such much that we bought a unit in the complex. Do I need to say more?
