We have been vacationing in Vallarta fir fifteen winters and have stayed in many accommodations on the Bay of Banderas. This condo is indeed the most beautiful, luxurious and spacious. It is spotlessly clean and well decorated. It is equipped with all the amenities one could possibly need.
The wrap around terrace which affords a 360 degree view of the bay and the Sierra Madre is larger than many homes. It has an outdoor kitchen and BBQ area with a dining table that seats six. We ate and lived on the terrace. We only went indoors to sleep in the three extra large bedrooms, each of which has an ensuite bathroom with shower.
The unit is exactly as advertised on VRBO and more. There are flat screen HD TVs in every room plus an oversized TV in the living room, all of which have English language satellite feed. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with cooking utensils, dishes, cutlery, drinking glasses, wine glasses and modern appliances...even two toasters! One could easily feed a family of fifteen without a problem. The laundry room has a large washer and dryer.
The fifth floor condo overlooks the beach and two pools. Within steps of the property one can enjoy parasailing, kayaking, jet skiing, paddle boarding, banana boating, kite boarding and sky diving. The seven mile beach is excellent for walking. The ocean is ideal for boogie boarding, of which there are five in the condo. Nearby is Vallarta Adventures with many fun activities and day trips for the whole family. Three championship golf courses are in the area. During our three month stay, our guests ranged in age from 87 down to two years old. There were activities galore for everyone. There are many restaurants within a short walk, trolley or taxi ride. But eating on the well appointed terrace, watching the sun set and the turtles released into the ocean is a true delight.
Dorice and Ed, the owners, were very helpful and always willing to answer our questions both before and during our stay. They were always available by email.
We have recommended this apartment to our friends and family. We will definitely return to this home away from home!
