My husband and I stayed here with another couple. The property is well maintained. The condo was spacious and very well appointed, right down to little travel toiletries in case we forgot something! The balcony is AMAZING and where we spent most of our time when we were at the condo. The pool is refreshing and very well maintained. We had no issues at all with this condo.
This was my 11th trip to PV - I normally stay in the areas of the Romantic Zone and Amapas. This was my first time staying on the south shore. I chose this location hoping for a more relaxing vacation with some peace and quiet and that's exactly what we got. There is a public beach just south of this property that the locals enjoy. They used the walkway between this property and the one next door to access the beach and sometimes could be very loud with music and talking and singing at any given hour, but overall it was not an issue.
There really isn't anything within walking distance of this property. You can walk just a bit south to Condominios Playas Gemalas, they have a very good restaurant and a small convenience type of store. To get there, you'll have to walk along Hwy 200 which does not have any real sidewalk, so you'll just have to be alert and very cautious.
Taxis are readily available if you walk up to the highway, or ask the front desk concierge, if he is available, and he will call one for you. It was about $11 usd and 20 minutes or so from this condo to old town around Parque Lazaro Cardenas and Basilio Badillo. Coming from the airport it was about a 45 minute drive, going back to the airport was about an hour. To Marina Vallarta was about 40 minutes.
So, my only real issue with the condo is the lack of walkability in the area. I missed being able to walk to the Malecon, restaurants, and markets.
Overall, I give this condo 5 stars and I would stay here again!
