Haniel

Had an amazing experience staying here! Very attentive team working here and the view and condo left me and my family speechless! I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting PV!

My family and I loved our time at Haniel's AirBNB. Chief Edwin was absolutely amazing! One of my daughter's enjoys a plant base diet and he was able to accommodate, no problem!

This place is beautiful! It's perfect for a big group. The private pool is a great bonus. The view is amazing. It looks just like the pictures. The only thing I would suggest is coming in the cooler months because the open air common areas are so nice but the heat got to us a bit. Thats on us for coming in August! The rooms have great AC. We used the chef services and that was great too. The staff at the hotel were all extremely friendly and accommodating. It was a very enjoyable stay and would recommend to anyone.

Very nice place, very comfortable My family and I were very comfortable We wish we could have stayed longer

What an amazing stay!!! The suite was perfect for my family. The staff was super helpful. Our chef was fantastic and worked with us to great a great experience. The staff at the front desk were very helpful. They ordered taxis and helped us find great excursions.

The Airbnb is very centrally located in the Romantic Zone of Puerto Vallarta, which made it super convenient to get around. The unit itself was very spacious and perfect for our group. We used the pool every day, and this particular unit has a larger pool, which we absolutely loved! The highlight of our trip was definitely the chef included with the stay. Ale was AMAZING!! She was so sweet and prepared all the menus we had requested in advance. We even asked for lobster and octopus, and I swear it was one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in a long time! I recommend giving her a daily budget, and she’ll do her best to stay as close to it as possible while planning the meals. The host was very communicative throughout our entire stay and always available when we needed anything. The Airbnb is also right on the beach, with palapas where you can relax and spend the day, which was another big plus. We had a great time and would definitely come back!!

Great location and amazing place! Highly recommend!

Fue ama! We booked it just for one night on the spur of the moment with my friends, and we would definitely like to come back for longer!

Beautiful place. Spacious and decorated beyond expectations

Beautiful and relaxing stay! Location felt private, yet still walkable distance to all restaurants, bars, and events. The staff were great and friendly. Pool and beach very accessible. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great stay!

It’s a beautiful condo great location the view was breathtaking I will stay there the next time.

Really impressive, the spectacular view, the pool, absolutely the whole place is worth it. It's very spacious and the staff is always friendly. I would stay again without thinking.

We had an absolutely incredible stay! We rented this home for our annual girls' trip, and it exceeded almost every expectation. The house was beautiful, spacious, spotless, and had plenty of room for our large group to spread out while still feeling together. The pools were amazing and quickly became our favorite place to relax, laugh, and make memories. The staff was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. It honestly felt like staying at a private luxury resort. The location was perfect, making it easy to enjoy Puerto Vallarta while also giving us a peaceful place to come back to each day. From our welcome dinner to pool days and evenings together, everything about this home made our trip even more special. My only suggestion for future guests is that the staffing schedule and days off should be communicated before booking.

Our stay with our family was beyond our expectations. Everything was completely seamless, the house was beautiful and clean and house manager, Misael, and chef Martin made our trip unforgettable. The meals were delicious and the service was outstanding. We are so grateful for the wonderful experience they provided to our family. We will definitely be back!

Very beautiful place! Staff is great and friendly. Everything was great!

Our stay was spectacular!! We had no issues and we all loved the private pool, oceanviews, and the meals that Martin prepared!

Great place

We had a great time! Haniel's place was nicer than the pictures. so very beautiful! We could not believe the view.. WOW! Haniel's place had so much room to mingle with family still cant get over having a pool right in the house it was awesome! Very walkable. The maid was great every morning always keeping the place clean also very friendly. Our chef Johnathon was AMAZING!! He went above and beyond would make us whatever we wanted or surprised us with his own amazing recipes. What a nice guy. Thank you, we will be back we love Puerta Vallarta.

Absolutely great home on the water. Open air layout . Felt like vintage puerto Vallarta. House keeping daily was great so were the cook and house helper. One thing that would have been helpful is to know that you need to pay daily for food and groceries in cash daily . We did not know this in advance so created some issues as far as having cash on hand.

Haniel is an awesome host! I’ve rented from him many times and will do so again in the future. We enjoyed our stay at Vallarta Shores. Suite 6E is beautiful with amazing views.

We had a wonderful time at Vallarta Shores. The place was beautiful and looked just like the pictures. When we arrived we were in love with the place from the get go. The chef service was amazing, and flexible. We really enjoyed the conversation with Rodrigo and his skill in the kitchen was amazing. As a note of caution for those who might be concerned I will tell you, as others have, that you’re in a lgbtq area. The bar next to the resort has a lot of activity and the music thumps (not too loudly) til round 10/11 or so. If you have kids you may want to consider a different place due to the view(s). But all in all this is a wonderful place. Right on the beach. Friendly staff and folks who just let you be you! I recommend it, and if you stay here I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did!

It is a very nice place. You feel better cared for than in a Hilton and with personalized attention. The staff are excellent, very helpful, and friendly. The best thing is that they cook for you in the comfort of your penthouse.

Excellent place. Excellent staff. Excellent host. Cannot wait to book again.

Very good choice⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh. My. Word. The villa is open to the air (aside from the bedrooms, which have a/c, and the bathrooms). It's devine! We didn't utilize the Chef or Maid services, but it didn't affect the enjoyment of this property. We chose to have the pool heated. The private parking was necessary, and so good to have! Please stay here. Misael was the house manager, there to greet us and help us get settled in, stopped in to make sure things were going well on our own (by my request he did not come every day, but he would have if we'd wanted him to!), and came to help us check out. He's fantastic! So kind, enjoyable conversationalist, very responsive, and always smiling. He made us feel very comfortable :) Excellent shelling at the small beach entry in front of the house, and fantastic swimming at the main beach next to the house! My main goal was to impress my brother-in-law with the stay at the villa... but I got the added bonus of impressing my VERY particular uncle. #YayForUnexpectedWins!

Perfect location and accommodations for a get away. The chef, Ramon, was superb and would be happy to eat anything he created. Look forward to another visit at some point in the future.

My favorite place I’ve stayed in Puerto Vallarta in many stays! The convenience to the beach w/ private chairs & the pool was such a perk. Our chef was great & the place was exactly as described. A perfect paradise.

Great location walking distance to a lot. Nothing can beat having a pool in the condo while being beach front. Chef was very nice and communicative, the food delicious (made everything we asked for). Check in was smooth and were escorted to our condo and shown around. Needed a wheelchair for one of our family members who is disabled, the staff in the office got us a rental within an hour. They answered all our questions and came up to check on any issues we had immediately. They had great recommendations as well. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone.

Beautiful place very spacious and clean definitely worth the price and it made me want to extend my stay. Hosts are super friendly and responsive with any questions asked, the complimentary chef that was included took great care of us and I would definitely book this place again. 100% recommend.

Many ants on vanity counter and shower area. Also mosquito. Hi use cleaning lady seems not that good. Chef Edwin was excellent cooker. Chef service is number one reason we will come back

Vallarta Shores was a wonderful experience with great staff. Chef Rodrigo was amazing and we plan to make an annual guys trip here! It was that great of an experience!

We all loved our stay! The open air concert of the apartment really was something special. Listening to the waves while napping was fantastic!! The rooms were comfortable with each room having a split unit. The water was always hot when showing and there were seven of us! But Rodrigo - OMG what is there to say about him! He was a bonus that none of us expected. He kept us stocked with coffee and water and all the different creamer request! We did not have one meal at a restaurant that top his meals for us. He truly is something special! The only thing negative is we wish there had been chairs out closet to the ocean. But other than that a perfect stay!

Excellent house, clean and in a good location. Excellent food, cleanliness, and service. I recommend it!!!

I would recommend it to family and friends. It’s a wonderful place. It looks better in person. The room was amazing. I would come back.

I don't have enough superlatives to describe how wonderful our stay was. Nor do I wish to repeat what all other reviews already state. But my goodness! what a fantastic stay, what a beautiful villa, and what an incredible location with such gorgeous views, sunsets. Add the 11/10 service from the concierge, the chef, and the maid. This was a trip our family will remember forever.

This place always brings such magic to any vacation.

Fortunately, we had the pleasure of staying in such a beautiful villa; it is absolutely worth it. You can enjoy wonderful moments with your family. 100% recommended.

Beautiful space with a huge pool (nice deep end) and a grand pool table to play overlooking the views of the bay. Listening to the ocean at night with the breeze is unmatched. Would definitely stay again.

Fabulous condo with an amazing location. We had a wonderful time.

This villa is absolutely incredible. I WILL be back.

Amazing view right on beach front. Nice place

Chef Ramon was the highlight of the place. His food was amazing and he executed every dish. The location is at the end of the street with no place to turn around. It’s a little clustered. Having the private tool was nice for our group. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Stayed here with a few hosts for one night before a larger party at a different location. The rooms were nice and clean, pool was great, the view was beautiful. This place was just what we needed and they certainly delivered. Wonderful and helpful staff in a great location. It’s not a party place regardless of being right near Mantamar but it was perfect none the less.

Villa Celeste was an absolute dream and far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless, warm, and incredibly well cared for. Chef Martin was truly AMAZING! Every meal was delicious, beautifully prepared, and such a highlight of our stay. It felt like having a private restaurant experience in the comfort of a charming home with an unbeatable view. Micael, the house manager, was outstanding. He was always on top of things, incredibly accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our stay perfect. He even ran to OXXO on a whim when we needed something, that level of service is rare and so appreciated. Francis, the housekeeper, did an incredible job. Coming back each day to a spotless room and a freshly made bed felt like a luxury experience. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The pool and the view were absolutely breathtaking, and the house itself was full of charm and character. Highly recommend!

Vallarta Shores was wonderful, had amazing views (we could see whales in the morning!), and was close to everything we wanted to do. The chef was amazing and friendly. Our family of seven had plenty of room to gather, and the bedrooms were very comfortable.

Book it! Amazing stay, location perfect and the chef Rodrigo was the MOST amazing chef. Better than any restaurant we went to and less expensive! Host Daniel very responsive. Felt spoiled and relaxed all round.

Great place and great host, definitely recommend it!

Great place! Private, relaxing and the service was excellent

This place was as beautiful as it looks online, and right on the beach in Puerto Vallarta -- at the end of a road so it is a bit quieter. Some confusion re: one night vs. one week stay amenities provided, but was rectified by chef who was incredible -- food was divine, beverages were good, place was beautiful. Unit above does overlook common spaces of unit, but still felt private as people didn't sit to look over. Would recommend, would stay here again - got a discount which made it even more appealing!

Dope spot! Wish I would have utilized the free breakfast…wasn’t sure how that worked but they had coffee in the place and it was goooood! Great spot, great views, wish I would have had more time there to fully enjoy it. Hopefully next time!

Great stay. Thanks Haniel.

This place is just a gem. Really nice stuff, lots of space for our group to be together and apart if we wanted. Having our own pool was lovely. We are big fans of Amapas and this is close to all of our favorite restaurants. We had a great time and Haniel also helped us set up a fishing trip for a couple members of our group. We will definitely be back and this was our second time staying at Vallarta Shores.

Stayed in the penthouse and everything was perfect. I wrote a more thorough review after our first visit a few months ago. We couldn't wait to come back! The unit, the location and the private chef are all amazing. Chef Edwin is the best.

Great place with amazing food nearby. It’s in a quiet area with beautiful views. Great for big groups and loved the private pool.

One of the best places we’ve stayed yet! Beautiful, clean place that is spacious and accommodating. The chef, Edwin, was PHENOMENAL! If we can’t get Edwin again, we aren’t going! The direct view of the beach was spectacular and the walk to everything was very convenient. We look forward to returning in 2026!

Expectations meet, suite and amenities as described. Chef Ricardo was fantastic.

A place with a great view and location. Highly recommended.

The space is over the top with the most spectacular views of the ocean in the world. I am blown away by this view and the extravagance. The transportation from the airport was confusing though. Very good space to stay and use the beach right in front of the hotel is very nice as well. Highly recommended. The chef was amazing as well but can be a little pricey.

thanks geeat place

We had a wonderful stay! The place was very clean, spacious, and in an excellent location, everything we needed was close by. The staff was incredibly helpful and resourceful, making our trip even smoother. We truly enjoyed our time here and would love to come back soon. Highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything is excellent! We will definitely be back!

Place looks great! Very nice view of the ocean and have you private own pool. Love how every bedroom had a bathroom. When we got there it was pretty easy to check in and very clean and organized.

We had such an incredible stay at this Airbnb in Puerto Vallarta! The home itself is absolutely beautiful with stunning oceanfront views that took our breath away every morning. The private pool was such a treat — perfect for relaxing while still enjoying the scenery. The walk down to the beach was peaceful and made it feel like our own little paradise. One of the biggest highlights was the personal chef — truly chef’s kiss! The meals were not only delicious but also made our experience feel extra special and luxurious. Overall, everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, unforgettable getaway in Puerto Vallarta.

Fantastic

We loved it and will be back!

BEAUTIFUL 4BR penthouse home in wonderful location. The chef simply amazing. Jacuzzi, infinity pool a huge hit. All other bnb's will now pale in comparison im afraid.

This was wonderful place to stay. My friends and I enjoyed staying here over the last few days the Chef Ale and Housekeeper Norma were great and so nice and sweet. I would definitely stay here again.

I loved the place, very nice, pleasant, private, the suites are super nice, there are no words, only the area is not highly recommended for families with small children since there is a lot of LGBT community which is not so comfortable to explain to the kids. Anyway, it is a quiet area, there is not so much noise and the suites are private and some have all the amenities so you don't have to go out and have an excellent time with the family

Second time here…. This is a boutique resort with large units that can accommodate groups extremely well. Their 1 suite is great, but if you get larger units with 2, 3 and 4 suites, everyone can have their own privacy, space, and open your doors to the beach and ocean. The common area is a plus, no windows, going to the infinity pool to your fridge, listening to music, watching the sunset everyday is unforgettable. There is a full bathroom by the pool that is very convenient. The staff were superb, my guest requested extra towels, they were delivered immediately. Our chef Alejandra “Alley” was so professional, at times cleaning and cooking as she was preparing our meal, we didn’t even know she was there. She made us delicious and traditional creations that can top best Vallarta’s restaurants, at your kitchen, dinning inside of your unit. We cannot wait to be back! Thank you for having us Haniel, you were great.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Everything exceeded our expectations, from the comfort and cleanliness of the home to the welcoming atmosphere. A special highlight was Chef Rodrigo, who was truly amazing. Not only was his food delicious, but he was also incredibly personable and accommodating, making every meal feel like a special experience. His kindness and attention to detail really elevated the experience. We would 100% recommend this place and can’t wait to return.

This place was the perfect getaway for my group of friends. It was only about a 7minute drive from downtown. Our chef Fany was incredible at always having everything stocked up for us and having everything ready for when we were needing it! Awesome views and friendly staff.

Excellent views, comfortable floor plan for big families, and amazing chef Fany made our delicious meals! Would stay here again when we return to PV!

We stayed in the penthouse and...Wow! What an experience. The outdoor concept was perfect for PV. There's always a nice ocean breeze and you feel like you're never away from the action on Los Muertos Beach. Floating in the huge private infinity pool with panoramic views of the city skyline and the sunsets was amazing. The depth of the pool is also perfect for young children. Having never experienced a private chef, I didn't think that we'd really use that service other than maybe for one night just to say we did it. I was very wrong! Chef Edwin was absolutely amazing! We enjoyed his delicious cooking every morning and evening. Better than anything I would expect from even the nicest restaurants in PV. Between the spacious outdoor areas, the private infinity pool and the incredible chef, the only thing you'll really need to "worry" about is what you would like to eat and at what time. Everything else is at your fingertips. It was really the ultimate in relaxation.

We stayed at Suite B from July 25–31, 2025, and loved every minute. The ocean view is breathtaking, and the sunsets are unreal. The A/C worked perfectly, the beds were super comfortable, and the shower had great hot water. There was a bit of construction noise during the day, but mornings were peaceful, and we were informed ahead of time. The heated pool was a bonus—our only suggestion is earlier cleaning times. The true highlight was Chef Ramón: his breakfasts were delicious, beautifully presented, and he left the kitchen spotless. You just pay for ingredients and tip. He also shared amazing local recommendations. Do not skip this service. Highly recommend this stay!

Beautiful place and very friendly hosts. Recommend using the chef option if available. Wide range of healthy delicious meals prepared by very kind people!

The view of this place was absolutely amazing, pictures don’t do justice, and location is everything.. was able to walk to all the tik tok famous restaurants downtown! ❤️

Vallarta Shores is one of my favorite places to stay in PV! Daniel is an amazing host. Easy to work with and communicate with. And very friendly. The only negative I will say about Vallarta Shores and the penthouse specifically is that it is the unit where laundry is done for the entire building. I wasn’t aware of this at booking and I could have missed it somewhere in the details/description. But that’s the only negative. Otherwise, it’s absolutely amazing! Daniel is the BEST!

My family stayed with another family and the set up was perfect (pretty view and 4 king bed + baths)! I do wish we would have visited at a different time of year. I didn’t realize the main living space was all open air. We acclimated to it (we’re from Texas and used to it), but would have been perfect at a dryer time of year. I was worried that the pool would be warm being exposed to the sun, but it surprisingly was cool. There were plenty of towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner were great quality too. The location was great and easy to walk to Malecón and the beach. You literally walk downstairs and you’re right at the beach. Theres a beach club next door that we rented chairs from while kids played in the waves. The best part of our condo was the chef….Rodrigo was professional, polite and made some delicious meals for us! He was good cook and quickly felt like part of our gang. We wanted to take him home with us. All in all, great trip!

Wow wow wow! Our stay here was INCREDIBLE! We had such an amazing time, the place is so beautiful! The pictures don’t do it justice of how beautiful and and amazing views this place has! The pool was so nice and being able to watch the sunset straight from our balcony was incredible! Also our chef Fanny was AMAZING! Everything she made was delicious she truly made our stay so much better and made us feel right at home. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Definitely look forward to coming back! Thank you so much!

Great location, super nice people, private pool, near all of our favorite things!

Beautiful sunset, safe environment. Great pirate pools in every room, cool bedrooms to sleep.

Everything is very good, especially the house staff, excellent service from them!

Amazing everything!! The place, the location, the check-in. Don’t even think about it! Chef Ramon Ibarra was the best ask for him!

Excellent place with unique views. We really enjoyed,the staff is super friendly and our Chef Dulce is a total goddess!! Always available and cooking some delicious dishes! We will definitely return

This place is as amazing as it gets. The Villa is beautiful. Right across the street from the beach. Listen to the waves as you go to sleep and see the beautiful sunset while eating. The pool was really great for our kids. The staff were absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing. Martin could cook anything we asked. Poncho was outstanding. And Phyllis was so pleasant. I couldn’t recommend this place more. We’ll be back.

We really enjoyed the stay without any problems. The service in every way was always good. A great place to spend a vacation with a big family

Daniel’s place was great. It was perfect for a family with children. Beach was accessible and easy to get to but the bonus was the private pool we were able to have heated for our entire stay. Makes it extra convenient with kids. Daniel was also very responsive and staff was very kind and friendly.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Conchas Chinas! The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the beach, offering breathtaking views and the soothing sound of the waves. The house itself is stunning, with spacious rooms and a serene atmosphere that made it feel like a true getaway. What really set this place apart was the exceptional service and food. Pancho and Irvin went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and the meals were absolutely delicious. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—it truly elevated our stay. If you're looking for a relaxing escape with beautiful surroundings, outstanding service, and top-notch food, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

My family and I had the best time here. One of our best trips overall. The place is just like the photos but the feel of the place is perfect. I was a little worried about the Chef service as we have never used a service like that in the past, but it was one of the best things about the stay, the food was amazing. Fanny and Martin were so caring and accommodating. They stock you fridge of all the essentials and make sure you have all of your needs met everyday. Thank you so much to the both of them. The building staff were always sweet and helpful. The beach is right out the front door along with a wonderful community pool and jacuzzi. Thank you Daniel for this place. We felt so spoiled in the best way. There are great restaurants near by and the longer you stay the building felt more like a community. There is parasailing and jet skiing within walking distance with plenty of tour options to chose from. If you have additional time, be sure to head up to Sayulita.

House was clean, beds were comfortable. A/c and heater work great. Showers were perfect. Highly recommend. Will return .

this is by far the best place I've stayed at in Vallarta. I will always look for this place every time I visit vallarta again. The staff, the amenities, Edwin (the chef), location, literally everything was beyond expectations. Even the guests we ran into were super nice and from I heard, Vallarta Shores has built up a very loyal group of guests (no wonder why) so you most likely run into them too. Very Important note: this complex is literally in the heart of the gay area next to the most popular gay beach club which me and my newly husband enjoyed a lot, but it might take some people as a surprise, so better be prepared for that. Regardless of that and I'll repeat it again: this is the best place I've stayed in Vallarta EVER and I will always try to book it on my next trips there.

Fantastic spot for a great trip. Chef Dulce was great as well. Would definitely come back here. Front desk staff were also friendly and helpful!

Worth it. Thanks for a great stay!

This was my second stay in this community. Daniel was an amazing host both times. It’s the perfect location. Our chef Alejandra was seriously the best part of the trip. She was kind, sweet, and always went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Make sure you tip her well!! She deserves it! The cleaning staff, front desk… everyone was amazing. There is no better location. Daniel was a dream to deal with and responded instantly to every question we had about the place, the town and anything else we could think that ask him.

G

Great location! Wide open area, wish there was a bit more sun on the pool throughout the day but you also have quick easy access to the ocean/beach and the community pool, so lots of options! Thanks for helping make our trip a great and memorable one.
