3BR Condo in Puerto Vallarta

This is a beautiful property located steps away from a private beach area for residents. The property features an amazing, impressively large, balcony area with a stunning view of the ocean. It has amazing amenities including a private pool on the rooftop terrace. We would definitely come back here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great rental property on one of Puerto Vallarta's most beautiful beaches.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Allan’s condo. The location was perfect, and the condo exceeded our expectations. We especially loved the private beach and how conveniently located it was to so many restaurants. It was also well equipped with everything we needed. The in-unit washer and driver was an added bonus. The staff was outstanding. From the front desk manager to the maintenance team and housekeeping, everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Even though we didn’t use them, the upstairs private pool and sitting areas were great. We’re already looking forward to returning for another visit next year!

This unit is in a fantastic location. Everything to enjoy in PV is just a short walk. The property management is also incredibly friendly and helpful. The views from the unit are spectacular. Its not a huge detractor, but the unit is very dated. Furniture definitely shows wear and tear, but that being said, it was very clean. The other thing I would note is that the listing says it sleeps 8. that's probably true for a family, but we were 6 guys and it was about the max I would recommend. Again, though, the location and views make it easy to overlook these few things. I would definitely book again.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo in Puerto Vallarta. The location was excellent — right on the beach and close to everything we needed. We loved the large deck we used daily, and the rooftop pool area was a nice bonus. The condo worked very well for our family. Having 3 bedrooms with their own bathrooms was so convenient, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The washer and dryer were also very handy. A few things could use some repair or updating, which was mentioned in other reviews but nothing affected our enjoyment of the stay. Communication with Alan was very good throughout. We especially appreciated him arranging fumigation for after checkout due to our daughter’s lung sensitivities. Overall, a great family vacation spot in an excellent location.

The condo was perfect for our family vacation. The large balcony was wonderful to have coffee in the morning and wine in the evening, and the most beautiful views. We saw a mother whale and her baby jumping. Amazing! We felt very safe here and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is good , accessible to the beach and you can walk to the many restaurants and shops. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have 3 bathrooms for our family of 6. Allan was very responsive and helpful. A great location and a wonderful vacation. We hope to be back soon.

Allan's place was very nice and very close to several of the entertaining beach resorts. The private rooftop deck with a pool was amazing. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We were vacationing while the shelter in place happened and I just want to commend the staff and Allan. They were very helpful. Allan also accommodated us until we were able to verify that we would be able to board our flight home. During a scary time, they made the experience much easier and we will always appreciate that.

This condo was a perfect solution for our group of five people. Each bedroom has its own en suite, which was fantastic for privacy and getting ready to go out for dinner. Having the extra large balcony was wonderful to have coffee on in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening and listen to the waves. The building has a good security process and it felt very safe. The pool was not that busy and was a great option instead of the ocean.

The apartment was great for 6 people during our 6 night trip. Overall, we had a good stay. The apartment was clean and looked just as it did in the pictures. The beds were very comfortable and the AC worked very well in the bedrooms. The wifi worked better in the bedrooms on the side of the apartment adjacent to the entrance, but overall was ok. The bar next door can be loud at night but was always closed and the neighborhood was quiet by time we got home after a night out. The rooftop terrace and pool is amazing with beautiful views. The neighborhood is lovely and convenient to several beach clubs. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again.

Great place great views front desk staff very helpful. Would stay here again.

Playa Bonita Penthouse Apartment was nice from the four of us. Three beds and three bath. Great Balcony and a nice small private pool on the roof. The place did have the basics and the front desk staff were great. Felt very safe since the staff had to let you into the building each time. The apartment had many ceiling fans, but many didn't work or could not located the correct remote, only a few were labeled. The AC kicked. Good location on the beach and in the middle of the gay beach. The place could use some updating, proper light bulbs and updating the house instructions.

Great location. Morning quiet walks on the beach. Upstairs private pool was great for the kids and was in the sun all day. 3 en-suite bedrooms, large living room with comfortable couch and huge comfy patio porch. AC worked in all rooms so we were able to keep the windows closed in the evening to combat the Blue Chairs bar music. It normally quieted down by midnight on the weekend 9:00 pm weekdays. The kitchen is original 30 years old and typical Mexico but everything worked. Nice Ninja blender. Ample cookware silverware and dishes. The concierge was very helpful with all of our needs. We did not use the dishwasher.

Amazing location & great shared space. Loved the rooftop too! Had some issues with dirty air vents, leaking toilet, inoperable fans in 3 rooms, and none of the WiFi names or passwords worked during our stay. Allan was very kind and so was the building staff. Recommend providing additional key for groups larger than 2 ppl. I would recommend this penthouse, pending a few small adjustments. Had a nice time and loved the surrounding area. Best location & views!

We were very comfortable, the privacy, the view of the sunsets was spectacular, the convenience of walking to the beach. Everything was very nice

Great place in a great location. The condo was clean and spacious. The private rooftop with pool was amazing. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was nice. And morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the balcony was so peaceful with the beautiful view. The front desk staff were all so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The private beach area was so nice to have and being able to order food and drinks from the hotel beach club next door made it even better! So many great restaurants, shops, and things to do in walking distance. All around great stay and we hope to be back again in the future.

What a fantastic stay! This penthouse condo is right on Playa Los Muertos. The condo has 24/7 staff, so it was easy to check in, and answer any questions. The staff and housekeeping were very friendly. The condo is spacious with a 30 feet balcony on the main floor, with huge sliding glass doors if you wish to have the sea breeze. The three bedrooms and baths gave us plenty of privacy. The kitchen is fully equipped for making meals. The rooftop terrace was amazing! A spiral staircase leads to it, and above you'll find a 4 foot deep pool, lounge chairs, covered tables, an outdoor grill and stove, even a fridge to keep drinks cold! There is a bar/club next door, but they didn't make much noise after 10pm. The AC kept us nice and cool. And the rental comes with a private beach, with bar service from Blue Chairs next door! If you like to be right on the beach in PV, in walking distance to restaurants, and want some privacy with a private terrace, this is the place!

A great location for access to beach and local restaurants. We loved the private beach palapas where you can get food/beverage service from the neighboring beach club. The private rooftop pool deck was also a great place to spend the day. Had spots to lay in the sun or relax in the shade. Walkable to many yummy restaurants and very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend. Host was very responsive to messages. A great vacation!

10++++ location. Right at the beach. Easy walk to town. Perfect outdoor space. We mainly used the same floor shaded balcony where there was room for all 6 of us. Perfect for 3 couples with own bathrooms. The only negative is some things just needed some work. A handyman could spend the day here and make it perfect! Just little stuff like loud bath fan, awkward drawers and cabinets. The building staff was great and helped us as needed.

It just would have been great if the pools were heated. Other than that great!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Allen's Airbnb. It was large enough for my family of 8 vacationing in PV. The rooftop area is a great space to hang out. Just know that there is a spiral staircase to the rooftop and not accessible for persons with mobility issues. The 'dipping pool' is nice on a hot day only. Views are spectacular: whale watching, people watching and beautiful sunsets. Yes, the club is next door and is loud, but we noticed it died down before midnight and did not hinder our sleep. Taxi's are always available to go anywhere you want just outside the building. The staff at the front door for security were super friendly and helpful with what they could help with. Just know that if there are problems with the condo, they cannot help you and you're on your own for a bit. We had a couple hiccups with the condo that we had to figure out on our own without help, but we managed. Overall our stay was great, Allen was available to chat with throughout. We love PV!

What a view! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the waves and the whales. The roof top deck is well-appointed with lounge chairs and tables. The condo is in a great location. It's across the street from the beach and walking distance to the restaurants and shops. Because of the lively area, we did experience some days and evenings with very loud music from the bar next door, and the beach was packed. However, the condo has a private beach area which was spacious and sparsely used. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks, Alan!

Can't beat the views from this unit. The upstairs dipping pool and patio was a very nice addition. With six of us staying there, sometimes we couldn't find each other, which is nice. Allan is a good communicator, and the onsite staff is friendly and helpful when needed. Location is great as you can walk to the Malecon and all that PV has to offer, there is a taxi station right outside the front entrance which made it very easy for us to get quick transportation when we had booked a day adventure and had to get six of us across town quick.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The location was fantastic—close to so many attractions and restaurants, all within an easy walk. The space was perfect for our family of four adults, offering plenty of room and comfort. One of the highlights was the amazing view, which made our mornings and evenings extra special. The spiral stairs to the amazing roof top terrace are tight and would be unaccessible to anyone with any kind of mobility issue. Do note that there’s a club next door that can be a bit noisy, but the music stops around 10 or 11 p.m., so it didn’t interfere with our sleep. Overall, a great place to stay—we’d happily return!

I recently stayed at Allan's Airbnb, and it was a wonderful experience. The property features three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, ensuring privacy for all guests. The highlight was the breathtaking beach view and private pool, offering an unobstructed view of the sunset and nightly fireworks. Allan, our host, was incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any requests. The fully equipped kitchen was perfect for preparing meals, and the large dining table and spacious sectional were ideal for our group of five, though it can comfortably accommodate six plus guests. We loved spending time on the balcony and rooftop, which also had a private small pool. The air conditioning worked perfectly in each room. The location was perfect, with easy access to Mantamar and two bars just outside the property. The staff downstairs were very helpful with the keys, which was particularly convenient. Overall, I highly recommend Allan's Airbnb. We had an amazing time and can't wait to return!

Overall we had a great stay! There were a couple hiccups that were entirely out of the hosts control. Our power went out one day which wouldn't be a huge issue, but running water comes from an electric pump so we were without running water for a little bit. Fortunately, this was resolved within a few hours. There was also a sewage smell that wafted in through the drains in the bathroom, which I hear is a building wide issue and extremely common with the plumbing systems in Mexico. Lastly, some of the chairs up in the roof were ripped to the point they couldn't be used, but Allan brought new chairs near the end of our stay. Everything else was beautiful and as described! The proximity to the beach is unmatched. The location is great and very central! It is loud, but that is to be expected with the area. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the cleaning staff were as well!

Had a great stay. We loved the location, which was right next to our favorite beach bars and restaurants. Great breakfast place right around the corner. The dipping pool on the roof was why we made the reservation and it did not disappoint. Front desk staff were always friendly and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. We loved opening the huge doors to the balcony every day to catch that ocean breeze. The music from next door never bothered us. The safe in one of the rooms quit working at one point after we locked up some valuables, but Allan immediately had someone come open it for us.

The unit location and amenities are spectacular. This is our second time staying at Allan’s place and we absolutely love the private terrace pool along with the private beach access. The terrace furniture, however, needs replacement. Two of the sun chairs were torn and unusable. Things up there are aging and need replacement, but that’s an easy fix and I would definitely continue to come back here again and again.

Host Response

Hi Serina. Thanks for your review. You'll be happy to know that the 2 loungers that were ripped have been replaced and there are a bunch of new loungers up on the rooftop terrace. It's a constant battle with the wear and tear that the sun and salt do up there, but thank you so much for the feedback, it helps us stay on top of things. We look forward to seeing you again!

Allan is very nice. But, he really needs to do some maintenance - lots of minor things need to be taken care of. The list: telephone to connect to downstairs reception is riped out of wall. We got locked into the condo and had to call Allan to let us out. That is when we found the phone ripped out. The front door gate was unlockable a second time getting into the unit. Upstairs pool area has ripped furniture and rusted furniture. Lots of the upstairs lights do not work. There is a garbage disposal but we were not told that is was not connected and plugged up sink. Broken chairs left outside, which should be thrown away. All bedrooms and bathrooms are fine. This condo just needs some care.

Host Response

Hi Troy, thanks for the review. We take a lot of pride in our penthouse, and there were a few things unfortulnately we were unaware of until you left this review after you departed. In the future, it would be helpful to any host to let them know at the time if there is something you would like addressed. I'm just going to reply to your list here so there is no confusion for any future guests. The building was built over 30 years ago and the internal phone system has been placed out of service by the building since everyone has cell phones these days. Perhaps I can completely remove that old phone so there is no confusion that it is not in service. I replied to your message right away from your cell phone. I'm not sure what the confusion was with the door or locks but perhaps the locks in Mexico are a little different in terms of locking and unlocking but everything is in proper working service. When you checked in I had informed you that I had ordered replacement chairs and was awaiting their delivery. Puerto Vallarta is a very small city with a booming real estate market and many things need to be ordered with a long window for delivery. There now are beautiful new loungers up on the rooftop. Also after your review we discovered that a dimmer switch and the disposal were not working which have now been replaced. You'd be amazed what people try to put down a sink in an Airbnb. I know its our job to catch all these things proactively and we will strive to do better, but in the future a simple message during your stay, and we could have had many of these things turned around quickly for you. The chairs you are referring to were not broken but were set aside for a person to come and maintain which were subsequently done, unfortunately although the penthouse is over 2000 ft2 there is very little storage there. I appreciate your feedback as it helps us keep on top of everything there. Thanks again Troy.

Another great stay at Allan's penthouse. Wonderful, unobstructed views of the beach and bay. Wonderful location for the activities we were interested in but far enough from the nightlife to give you a restful nights sleep when you want to recharge.

Allan’s place was terrific for our family vacation! It was exactly as advertised. It was private enough that we felt we could be alone, but in a location where you could be right in the middle of everything if you wanted to be. Everything was within walking distance too which was great! The front desk staff were so nice and helpful and we loved seeing them everyday! We hope to be back in PV again someday and if we are, we will be at Allan’s.

Already planning our next stay at Allan’s penthouse! The space is beautiful and picturesque, located 20 steps from the sand. The rooftop is private and a wonderful added bonus. Allan was very responsive and regularly checked in on us. The front desk staff were kind and super helpful. This penthouse is part of a condo building that has reserved seating on the beach, so we always had a place to sit when we went down to the beach. The showers don’t immediately drain the water at first, but it’s probably a city problem rather than specific to this unit. It wasn’t disruptive to our trip, so we just started the water ahead of jumping into the shower. This spot is right next to Blue Chairs and the penthouse’s rooftop is talking distance to the Blue Chair’s rooftop. Overall, we’d definitely return to this unit.

Location, location, location. This place is literally steps from the beach and has a stunning view of the ocean and sunset. The rooftop patio and private small pool are amazing, and the AC was critical for the hot sticky days and nights. The concierge staff were extremely friendly and welcoming (shoutout to Emmanuel). Downsides: The building is quite old so there are some issues here and there. One of the bedroom doors locks sporadically on its own, and the patio furniture is rusty. The wifi is spotty at best throughout the unit and was a major issue for everyone (if you use Telcel for your phone, the data reception is also terrible throughout). But overall an amazing place to stay right on the beach.

The house is lovely with incredible views. The staff and security guards of the condominium are wonderful and friendly. However, several things didn’t work. Most fans didn’t, this was ok given the 90+ heat because we eventually figured out the AC. Some lamp lights were missing. Internet was incredibly slow, better to use cell+data. There are instructions to call the host from the cordless phone if he didn’t give an in person tour. The phone didn’t work, some issue with the service provider, and calling from mobile went to voicemail. The host never responded to any Airbnb messages the reservation was auto accepted and there was no interaction at all. The front desk was initially confused we were staying there until we showed them confirmation on Airbnb. Overall not a big deal, it’s a beautiful city, and again the condo staff were friendly and helpful. I share this so that either the communication improves or future guests are aware that reaching the host may not be possible.

Host Response

I’m disappointed to read Evans review. Evan never left one single message through the Airbnb app during his stay or left one single voice message during his stay of 4 nights. We have reception staff on site 24-7 and there was also no communication through them about anything during their stay. For security reasons it’s normal for reception staff to ask for a proof of reservation and ID to ensure we are letting the right people in to protect the people who make the reservations. All the fans work with the majority operated by wall switches rather than individual remotes. The WiFi works very well but needs to connect to both networks for full coverage. One single Airbnb message or voicemail could have easily resolved this including having my on call properly manager go over in person to show them. We take a lot of pride in our penthouse and we were never provided the opportunity to address their concerns until they left this review well after their stay ended. While we always try our best to proactively anticipate every possible question we also encourage guests to let us know if they need anything at all so we can assist them and do our best to make the best experience possible.

We recently stayed at this Airbnb property and had an amazing experience. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making the check-in process a breeze. The property itself was spotless, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated. It felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect - close to all the attractions we wanted to visit, yet in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We also appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided, from a fully stocked kitchen to extra toiletries. The highlight of our stay was the stunning view from the balcony. Watching the sunrise and sunset over Puerto Vallarta was truly breathtaking. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better Airbnb experience. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting PV. Thank you to the host for making our stay memorable!

From the initial booking to checking out, Allan was super responsive to my outreach and allowed us to have a flexible check-in time for an earlier arrival time for one of our party. We loved the place and the staff was professional and accommodating. The location is right off the beach in the Zona Romántica and the pool downstairs was well maintained and a treat on hot days. Lots of great spots nearby for all types of interests. Stunning views of the bay, including breathtaking sunsets from the 7th floor penthouse unit. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to coming back some day to Puerto Vallarta. Thanks Allan!

This place has definitely an absolutely unobstructed beautiful view of the ocean and all the buildings surrounding it and the private rooftop pool was such an amazing amenity to have for our party of 6! We had an unexpected bump in our vacation as a strong tropical storm hit the PV area a day after we arrived and it knocked out power to several buildings including ours. While we totally understand this was out of the host’s control, we unfortunately lost power and running water access as the water pumps run on electricity to supply water to the penthouse. Power was out for 24 hours so we had to book rooms at a hotel nearby to be able to rest and shower. Allan however was gracious enough to reimburse us for that expense. After the storm hit, the electrical wiring in the house got altered so one of the AC units in the room and the dishwasher stopped working completely. We had to reset them manually each time which was a bit of a hassle. All in all, the condo is in a great location!

The penthouse is absolutely brilliant: spacious, fully equiped, ideally located and with an incredible view. The rooftop is the icing on the cake, with a private pool bigger than it looks on the photos. Allan was very helpful as we arrived quite late. He helped us carry our luggage up to the 7th floor since the elevator was out of order and a bottle of welcome wine was waiting for us. The good surprise is that the main room is also air-conditioned, not just the bedrooms, which was very appreciable in this very hot season. All the staff in the building, at reception and especially our cleaning lady Rosario who came twice a week, were very friendly. I highly recommend this treasure and hope to be able to stay there again soon.

Had a great time on our trip! Balcony was beautiful, has a gorgeous view!

Our group of five spent a week in Allan's penthouse at Playa Bonita and could not have been happier. The location is great, the friendly building staff is very helpful (and have been there for the past 10+ years) and the unit is very comfortable, immaculately clean, and having a private roof deck with dipping pool was a great place to hang out in the afternoon. The views from the balcony and rooftop are amazing. Everything was in good working order and well stocked with dishwasher and washing machine soaps, garbage bags, and plenty of bath towels. Can't wait to come back and highly recommend.

What an unbelievably nice stay. This place is really special. This was our second time staying with Allan at this penthouse and there is a reason we plan to continue returning: its spacious, gorgeous, and immaculately clean. We really couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a place with a palatial view and plenty of space. This penthouse is excellent. The location is fantastic; It can be a lively part of town but for me, that is what I like about it. The rooftop terrace is your own little oasis of sun, views and paradise. And the main floor balcony has comfortable seating to relax in the shade and with panoramic views. Each room has its own en suite bathroom, which is also very nice. Alan is an excellent and accommodating host. Check-in was a breeze, and the building and unit are very secure and safe. If you want to be in this part of town, and close to the beach, it doesn’t get better then this.

Excellent trip in an amazing location. Allan’s condo was stunning and had all we needed for a large family get away. We cannot wait to stay again!

The penthouse has amazing views and a good layout. The kitchen functions nicely though the knives and cooking utensils could use some updating. The beds are quite firm but having a dedicated bathroom for each bedroom is a BIG plus. The rooftop terrace with private pool sets it apart though it is NOT newly renovated. Much of the furniture/gazebo is rusting to pieces and the woven pieces are not quite woven anymore. The lounge chairs work well and are likely the spot you’ll spend most of your time. PLEASE NOTE: The penthouse is directly next to a very popular hotel with a rooftop dance/performance bar that can be VERY loud at times. With only 1 floor difference between the condo and the bar, the sounds come right into the living space and rooftop area. Luckily, they quit by 11pm due to the local law but start back up around 11am each day. If being in the middle of the action and on the beach are important to you and you enjoy music and a show, this is the spot!

If you look in the dictionary for the word breathtaking, a picture of this condo comes up. The first thing that you notice when walking in is the unobstructed view of the ocean from windows in the living room. That alone took my breath away, and it only gets better from there. For a group of 4 of us, this was the perfect condo. 24 hour security and door person, check-in was so smooth and easy and it felt very safe. We each had a bedroom and we loved that each bedroom also had its own bathroom so that everyone could have their space. The A/C’s in each bedroom worked like a dream. The condo had a fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer as well, which was very nice. Allan was great with communication and took care of everything we needed before, during and after our stay. The location also can’t be beat, you are steps away from the ocean and several beach clubs, and just a short 10-minute walk to the center of Zona Romantica and not much further to get to the gay bar area. The roof top is the piece dé resistance. Words can’t describe how beautiful it was each night to watch the fireworks or the sunset across the bay. Do yourself a favor, and if you see this condo is available, book it. You will not be disappointed!
