Had a great experience at this villa. Lots a room and great for a family. Since there are several flights of stairs to enter ,it can be challenging if you have a stroller however Marcel was helpful on getting a place to store it so you don’t have to haul it up the stairs every time. Marcel was great with communication before the stay as well checking up during the stay. Loved sitting on the patio and walking the whales. Very nice staff on the grounds that were helpful as well. I would highly recommend this place.

I rented Villa Yelapa Marina Vallarta with my family of 5 this past week and we had an amazing time! The unit is very spacious and in a great location. The space is clean and the property grounds are well kept. The pool area and beach are unbeatable too. Marcel, the host, was very communicative and helpful, which made our stay. I would highly recommend if you are looking to stay in PV.

Everything is excellent with the place, very comfortable, practical and in an area where you have many services and other amenities nearby that you can even walk to. The host was very pleasant, always communicated and was attentive to our comments as well as calls. Recommended and to return.

Marcel's place was amazing! We stayed here for a girls trip and we had just the best time ever! Marcel was extremely helpful and accomodating leading up to the trip and even during the trip to make sure we had no issues checking in and that everything was going smoothly. The condo is beautiful and the resort its located on is perfect for relaxing and grabbing a drink by the pool! We particularly enjoyed seeing all of the iguanas roaming the grounds too! I would highly recommend staying here. There are restaurants and things to see and do within walking distance and with just a short cab away you will be in the downtown area.

This place is ah-may-zing. Even better than the photos. Location is fantastic - easily walkable to everything you need, easy access to pools and beach, short cab ride to downtown PV. Marcel was the most attentive and responsive host. AC kept the place nice and cool and beds were super comfy. Hated to leave and can’t wait to come back!

Staying at Villa Yelapa in Vallarta was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we walked in, we felt completely at happy! the space is warm, beautifully put together, and had such a good energy. You can tell a lot of love and thought went into every detail. We started each morning with coffee on the patio and ended our days watching the sea —it was pure relaxation. The location was perfect for exploring, but also quiet enough to just relax and unwind. Our host Marcel was amazing!!! so kind, helpful, and responsive. It really felt like we were staying at a friend’s home rather than a rental. We already can’t wait to come back. Thank you for creating such a special place!

Great place. Host very communicative. Nice to have someone who met us to take us around the complex and show us the condo in great detail.

Great location! Good place for the value. There was a lot of construction the time we stayed, which was unfortunate. The neighboring hotel’s generator is quite loud when you’re outside. Minor notes: furniture felt a bit flimsy and the lightbulbs around the condo were blue white, like a hospital! The mattress was incredible — we all slept well and the views were spectacular! That’s what matters!
Host Response
Thank you for choosing my condo Liz. Your family was great to host and I’d welcome you back anytime. Sorry about the construction next door. I can’t control a neighbor wanting to renovate their home. I really wasn’t aware until I called them to find out what was going on. As to the value, you got a three bedroom condo with three bathrooms. The Westin two buildings down is $500.00 a night for only a hotel room so I think price wise, I have my place listed very well? Even property managers say I’m priced way too low? I had to put the nicer furniture in storage because people just don’t treat my place like their own. Once someone sat on one of the end tables and didn’t think it’s not a chair. Another guest let their daughter dance on the coffee table? Seriously!! Recently a guest put out cigarettes on the white plates and I had to replace two of them. Please understand it’s not the Four Seasons Hotel in Punta De Mita at $2000.00 a night for only a room. I hope your stay was enjoyable? Again, if should ever want to book my place again I’d be happy to host you. The construction next door will be completed!

Marcel is very attentive host. He communicated with us before the trip, explaining all the details, during the trip and at the end of our stay addressing every issue we could have. The place itself was amazing, with lots of space (2 floors) and a million dollar view of the ocean, pools and gardens. It was a remodeled unit with sparkling floors and a nice kitchen. we enjoyed the entertainment the Hotel Vamar was providing - music, shows, tennis courts ( we played pickleball). We loved Puerto Vallarta a lot and will be coming back.

We had a wonderful visit to PV. Marcel was very helpful and responsive. The condo is located in a great quiet area but a short cab ride to anywhere you want to go. We will definitely be back.

Marcel was a great host. He called me before the trip to describe the check in process, amenities, restaurants, and more. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time during our stay. I was going with my parents and siblings then there was enough room for everyone. We loved it. It was a bit confusing at first why you get to the hotel lobby across the street and they give you some bracelets that you have to wear during the stay but otherwise all incredible.

We had a very nice stay, we really enjoyed the beach and the pool, a lot of privacy, the villa has everything you need for a stay, the view is beautiful! Oscar and Marcel were very friendly and understanding with us. Maybe the registration is a little tedious but it is necessary for the order of the complex. Once passing that is very relaxed everything.

The place is great, everything was very well equipped and functional. The bathroom in the master bedroom has a couple of details when it rains but overall the stay was quite comfortable and we were able to enjoy our holidays to the fullest

Before I arrived here, I was concerned about the photos and something different from the photos because it looked like the place was off the beach on the map. However, the moment I entered this accommodation, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of me and was amazed by the high ceilings, terraces, and large spaces of the accommodation. We walked barefoot on the private beach in the morning, and in the evening we watched the sunset from the swimming hall and enjoyed swimming every day. We went into the Marina Walk, went shopping, got a massage, and made margaritas at night with the liquor provided in the house. You can also see cruise ships coming into the port around 8am. We enjoyed the space very much and also enjoyed great cooking with shrimp and lobster from the fish market.

Our family of 4 was very comfortable and loved the spaciousness of the condo. The beach and pool were great. The kitchen had everything you need for meals. We felt safe. We the condo was amazing!!

It was a little bit of a procedure to get into the actual villa, it’s gated off. You need to go to the resort across the street first to check in and get wrist bands and cards for beach towels, then you can make your way across the street back to the villa. The Penthouse is obviously on the top floor, which is the fourth floor. It is beautiful and just as pictured, a beautiful view and large balcony! The only complaint I would have is the WiFi is VERY spotty, so if you needed to work while you’re there this may be an issue for you, it did not bother us though. All in all we had a great stay!
Host Response
Hi Jenna, Thank you for leaving the light up balloon for my son. He loves it! As to the check process, I don’t think I can change that and the wrist bands are a security procedure. Every property in the city operates the same way like that. Yes, spotty WiFi is an understatement however we are working on it right now and will resolve this issue. While I am here myself, I am making some minor changes such as a new faucet in the second bathroom. I hope you consider my place if you come back and I guarantee the WiFi will be working great and you notice a few other changes.

The apartment was as described and worked well for our family. Unfortunately, there was no hot water for showers during our stay. The host was responsive at all times, but a remedy was not offered. It didn't ruin our vacation, but made it slightly less pleasant.
Host Response
Thank you for your review Scott. You were an excellent guest and I hope you will consider returning back in the future. As to the hot water situation, I am so sorry!! I didn’t find out about the problem until after you left. The problem was also beyond my control. The boiler/hot water heater for the entire complex, and the partnered property across the street burnt out and stopped working. No one had hot water!! It was finally fixed a few days after you left. The whole boiler was actually replaced. I thank you and your family for being so flexible and positive. Again I am so sorry!!

Excellent space and apartment, comfortable, clean, new, good quality that corresponds to the price of the room. Sharing facilities such as the pools with the Vamar Hotel (which is not mentioned in the condominium promotion) means that at certain times there are not enough sun loungers with umbrellas for sun protection by the pool.
