3BR Penthouse in Puerto Vallarta

Kieran

Good, 6 months ago

The major pluses of this unit were its location. It’s got direct access to the beach, and the walk to food and entertainment is mere minutes. There was plenty of clean drinking water provided, which was a nice touch. Some of the doors and appliances were well loved, but apart from that, no issues. Really beautiful terrace.

The apartment is very spacious with three rooms with their own washroom and two beautiful balconies facing the beach. The view of the ocean was simply fabulous!! The path to the beach was very convenient as well as the access to the pool. Carl and the staff working at the condo were very responsive, kind and helpful. Having constant access to drinking water was a great plus. The condo has a lot of character, it is not new but that is part of the charm. The only downfall was construction in front of the building starting early in the morning, which could be heard in the two rooms facing the street but not in the one on the ocean side. The location is great! it is close to numerous restaurants and cafes in the beautiful neighborhood of zona romantica, it is right on one of the most famous beaches (Playa Los Muertos) and it is also walking distant from the Malecón. Overall, highly recommended!

Best place and time ever. Carls place is amazing. Spacious, clean, has everything you need....home away from home. Breathtaking views from balcony. Waking up to the sound of ocean waves was awesome! So much to see walking distance. Step out to the beach, so convenient. Great restaurants, shopping as soon as you walk out the condo. Carl and other staff very friendly and attentive. Provided water the whole time we were there. Plenty of towels, beach towels. We definitely highly recommend Carls beautiful place. Loved it! Will definitely return soon. Thank you so much Carl!

Ok this is completely wrong of you posting pictures of the pool when it was brand new. Like 15 years ago. The pool looks nothing like what is posted. The pool is run down and embarrassing, I would piss how you try to pass this off on site, the patio was run down it looks nothing like the picture . umbrellas had bird crap on all of them and on the sear cushion. So that being said the condo was very nice. But it had nothing to cook with like oil or seasoning we had a private chef cook and we literally had to buy everything like it was a new home. At least supply basics. We help out and left it there so maybe you can get a kick start. Yes there’s a maid but there was zero cleaning supplies. And put a broom in the condo so I can sweep the sand and I don’t have to wait for the next day for the maid to come. Supply the basic.

We LOVE Carl's place (it was our 2nd time to stay there!). It's exceptional in location, size, security, and comfort! We found the beds super comfortable, the space amazing, and the proximity to the beach perfect! We would DEFINITELY stay again! And you should stay too - it's great!

Thank you

El Dorado was in the perfect location for all the great things available in the Zona Romantica. It was a quick trip down to the beach, and a beautiful view from our multiple balconies. We loved walking to so many great restaurants and activities nearby. Carl was excellent with communication, and so understanding when we had an issue with our flight that delayed our check in time, coupled with no cell service upon arrival. We would absolutely stay again!

Carls condo was magical. A perfect place to spend my birthday with my two best girlfriends. Absolutely fantastic location in the best part of the Romantic Zone. Great views of the beach, bay and Los Muertos pier. The interior of the condo is so beautiful and very spacious. The murals, the amazing chandelier, the mexican tiles,the ceilings.!!!!!... Just lovely. The condo has everything you need to feel at home. Or in paradise. The front staff were very sweet and helpful. And Carl was one of the best hosts I've ever encountered. Very responsive and great to chat with. This will be my forever place to stay in Puerto Vallarta.

Great place in the El Dorado building, right on the beach, great breezes! The beach nut is huge!!! All three bedrooms are comfy and the decks (plural) are great! Loved it!! And Carl is terrific as a host.

Carl is an excellent host. Responded quickly to my many texts and emails. Very large place with an incredible view of the ocean! Make sure to lower the blind on the balcony in the early morning or you may get a quick visit from a pigeon!😂 The condo easily accommodates 6 people. A lot of kitchen appliances available to make your own meals. A Super mini mart to purchase food etc., is right across the street. Head to Blondies, also across the street, during happy hour for a great Margarita! The maid service was really nice to have on a daily basis! The pool was refreshing after a hot sandy day at the beach. Unfortunately there were no umbrellas beside the lounge chairs and no shade unless you sit at the tables. Great location, felt very safe walking about! Would definitely recommend.

Our stay at the El Dorado was great for our family. It is a beautiful, spacious apartment in an excellent location. It is not a modern apartment but more of a traditional Mexican style, that we loved. It has three bedrooms and each has its own en-suite! One room faces the ocean and two face the street. The daily cleaning service is a definite plus. Many restaurants on the beach up front. We reserved seatings at Swell and enjoyed their food, drinks and umbrellas. Thank you to the host, Carl, and to the building staff, all were most helpful and friendly.

We had an amazing time at Carl’s place. The condominium is even more gorgeous in person along with the breathtaking views! The property is surrounded by restaurants, nightlife along with the beautiful beaches but still was very quiet and peaceful in the evenings. Our host Carl was very helpful and informative and always accessible. Also the condominium has full time security and everyone is very nice and helpful. :) We are all ready planning our trip back to Puerto Vallarta and would highly recommend Carl’s place. :)

Definitely book here! This condo is touching the beach with breathtaking views. The condo has everything you can think of and you will no be disappointed!

Beautiful condo, centrally located to the beach and the restaurants. It was nice to have 3 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Great condo for entertaining and watching the sunsets. Great views. The only comment would be PV tends to be a loud and the bedrooms on the street away from the beach tend to be loud until well after midnight. Otherwise, the host was responsive to our one request during our stay. Everything else worked out magically.

This is a perfect location! The views of the beach, bay, and pier from the condo were fabulous. The condo has a lot of old Mexican charm with tiles and dome ceilings. All three bedrooms had their own bathroom and the condo is very spacious. The kitchen has everything you need, but really why cook when there are so many fabulous restaurants nearby. Wi-fi worked great for all 5 of us. One even streamed her online class for 3 hours with no problem. I do wish there was a balcony to sit on, it looks like it was enclosed to make the condo bigger. We did use the pool, so nice to have after a hot day wandering town. We would definitely stay here again.

This was an excellent find!! Great location, great views, got everything you need especially in for cooking in the kitchen and dining, ACs in each room and living room (ceiling fans are also present and can be sufficient to cool the place), TV units also present in each room, great character to the place, oldish/traditional feel but very comfortable and very quiet. Staff are also very friendly, daily housekeeping was also a bonus. Can’t ask for anything more. Will definitely consider for future trips with a group of people. So worth the price as well!!

My family and I stayed there 7/16 - 7/20 which consisted of my wife and I, two teens and a two year. The place was huge and the photos don't do it justice. Large bedros each with their own bathroom was very nice to have. Great pool, the front desk was very helpful and everything exceeded our expectations. We will definitely stay there again. Carl was very quick to respond to any questions. The location is rightin the heart of town. We would highly recommend it.

This was an AMAZING rental. Perfect location, just steps to the beach and some of the best restaurants and shops in PV. The space itself was beautiful, spacious, clean, and had plenty of sunlight and a gorgeous view of the ocean. Each room had air conditioning, a fan, and its own bathroom. Carl was the perfect host—he arranged private cars to pick us from the airport and was very responsive the entire week my friends and I stayed in PV. In addition to a front desk doorman, we also had a house cleaner come every day which made the experience feel like a hotel. Sometimes the wifi was a bit slow, but it was good enough to stream movies so I honestly have no complaints. Thank you Carl for your wonderful hospitality. I look forward to visiting again!
