We had another wonderful stay at this beautiful and well appointed BVG condo (this was our 4th). A visit to Ixtapa is well worth the travel. A fine white sandy beach that stretches for several miles from end to end, it is inviting for all family members. Whether an early morning or late afternoon walk, kids building sand castles or throwing balls or frisbees, playing in the surf or in one of the two pools, or simply lounging on one of the many beach or pool side chairs, this beach can accommodate anyone. The ocean can have some larger waves but the BVG tends to be on the calmer side of the beach and the waves are no problem for decent swimmers. The waves toward the middle of the beach or the BVG Marina are much rougher and depending upon swimming ability can make an ocean swim virtually impossible.
As for the condo, it is within one of the most impressive structures in Ixtapa. All units have nice views but located at the end of one of the wings, this unit commands impressive views of the ocean, as well as sunrises and sunsets. The patio stretches the length of the unit and can accommodate all guests at the same time, whether eating an outdoor meal or simply watching the day pass quietly by, it is an ideal place to sit. Each of the three bedrooms have ample space and privacy, as well as their own connected bathrooms. The pictures on the website are accurate but do not quite do justice to the overall size of each room's space. The kitchen is a nice size, with all needed accessories and has ample counter space. The open family room/dinning room is massive and the furniture very comfortable. Located on the 5th floor, the unit is easily accessible by elevator or for those who want a little extra exercise, walking up the internal staircase. One note must be made that as the unit is located on the southside, it sits above the hotel next door and one can hear the sounds or the somewhat nightly shows performed there - but they end at 10:00 and the noise is not overly loud in any event.
The last aspect of the BVG itself is the location. Situated across the street from a local market, one can shop and haggle for local souvenirs. A slightly longer walk - but still very quick - brings one to a 7/11 type convenience store to one direction, and a large shopping area in the other direction. This shopping area contains scores of wonderful restaurants, offering a variety of different cuisines.
Lastly, Vic is a joy to work with. Can't recommend more.
