We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this condo from 2/6/19-2/13/19. This was our sixth stay in the Romantic Zone in Puerto Vallarta, and this condo provided us with our best lodging experience to date!
The primary reason is the location. The condo is truly in the heart of the RZ, right on the beach and in easy walking distance to ALL that the RZ has to offer.
PROS:
-The view! We just loved sitting in the window and enjoying the spectacular views of the bay.
-Condo was clean and well-decorated.
-Bed was very comfortable and we had no issues with noise in the neighborhood at night.
-Condo complex was generally very quiet.
-Pool area was very nice with great views.
-Condo staff were very friendly and attentive.
-Shower was great! Best shower we have ever had in RZ, including some major hotels.
-Great coffee maker!
-Open air living with the living room window.
-Sound system was excellent and supported bluetooth.
-Internet was fast and reliable.
-Good dresser and night table space in bedroom.
CONS (these are all minor):
-The closet is in an awkward place behind the bathroom door.
-There is no official affiliation between the condo complex and any of the beach clubs below, so you have to fend for yourself on the beach. We went to Swell Beach Bar, which was nice, but our experience was that they treat you like second-class citizens if you are not one of their regulars.
-Bedroom could use better lighting.
-Air-conditioner in the bedroom worked great, but it made some funny noises at times during the night and leaked water on the bedroom floor.
OTHER NOTES:
-We did not use the tv at all, so we are not sure how well it works, but it looked like a nice tv.
-We didn’t use the kitchen for any real cooking (too many nice restaurants to visit), but it looked like a fully-functional, well-equipped kitchen.
Overall, it was a great experience and we hope to stay in this condo again!
