3BR Condo in Nuevo Vallarta

OK, 4 months ago

The place has good views and a pleasant setting. The property is beautiful and exquisitely decorated, but our experience was not in line with the feeling of comfort and tranquility conveyed by the listing description. The air conditioning in the main room was not working properly, affecting comfort during the stay. In addition, on a Saturday at 8 am, gardening work began with an industrial blower inside the residential area and a few meters from our rooms, completely disrupting the expected restful atmosphere. It was probably an exception, and we were unlucky.

Host Response

HI Mauricio - I am so sorry for the issues you experienced at our place. I heard from my property manager that she reached out to you to get more details about the AC not working and to find a solution, but didn't hear back from you so she assumed it had resolved. The disruption with the leaf blower is so unfortunate! The maintenance crew's schedule is out of my control, but I have requested that they are more considerate with the times they choose to do their leaf blowing. We welcome you back anytime if you'd like to give us another chance.

We had a great stay here in San Pancho. Joahna and Jose Luis were fantastic hosts, very accommodating and always quick to respond whenever we had questions. The place itself is absolutely beautiful, very modern and clean but still has that stylish Mexico charm and vibe that makes it feel special. The pool area was also amazing, really well maintained and never crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. One thing I would definitely recommend is renting a golf cart, it’s totally worth it since the walk to the pool and beach access can feel a bit long, especially in the heat. Overall, we really loved our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting San Pancho.

Jhoana and Jose Luis’s place was perfect for our family. It is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Such an amazing view of town, beach and jungle. So many gorgeous birds. I’d recommend renting the golf cart as the walk to town is a bit intense with the steep hills (but without the steep hills, the views wouldn’t be so spectacular). On the other hand, we did get a lot of exercise. And we loved the easy access to the beach. A great stay in San Pancho.

Excellent apartment. It exceeded our expectations in size and cleanliness. The apartment is beautiful and tastefully decorated. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. The large community pool faces the ocean. The community occupies many acres and takes a bit of walking to become familiar with the paths and short-cuts. There is a convenient foot-bridge that brings you to the heart of San Pancho. Amazing stay. I look forward to staying again.

Amazing stay for our family of 4! The house was perfect, one of those rare Airbnb’s where it was actually better than the pictures. Comfortable, clean & spacious. Location - while a bit of a walk into town, maybe 15min… (we rented a car) it was actually nice being away from the hustle and bustle, quiet and peaceful. Pools - loved both the infinity pool near the beach and my kids loved the heated pool near the hotel. Our first time visiting San Pancho and we loved it. Great vibe in the town, excellent restaurants and extremely family friendly. We were lucky enough to experience the baby sea turtle release. We will definitely be back next spring break!

They respond quickly to questions , they gave me very precise and easy instructions to get to, the place is clean and pleasant , very quiet surrounded by nature , the vegetation is beautiful and the road to get there has a beautiful landscape , it is away from everything but has things very close to have everything . We would definitely come back . The only thing missing is more light at the entrance of the hallway that leads to the villa .

Villa Buho was one of the most luxe, spacious and relaxing places we’ve ever stayed. The space was quiet, private and tucked away from town. The villa was part of a resort, but it was quite empty so you get all the benefits of a resort without all the people. The private pool overlooking the beach was perfect, and only a 6 min walk. From there you can get to the quieter part of the beach in another 4 min, and a calm inlet that’s good for kids. However, the uphill walk back from town is serious, especially with a toddler. Baby carriers FTW! The walk deterred us from eating out for every single meal, so stocking up on groceries is a good idea (and our preference, honestly). The kitchen is fully equipped. Johana arranged a car transfer that picked us up from the airport, had a car seat and did a stop at the big grocery store outside of town, however it was quite expensive. The key situation could be tricky since it’s required to enter or leave the resort complex. Overall, highly recco!

What an absolutely lovely place! It is hands down the best Air BnB I have ever stayed in. We are already planning our return! The pros: Your own oasis. It is quiet and serene just out of town. The balcony and view are amazing, and the space is fantastic, especially for larger groups. Everyone having their own bathroom was a great thing for a vacation space for 6 people. The cool breeze from the jungle was so refreshing. The pool overlooking the beach was just spectacular. And the area of the beach that it gives you access to is the nicest part in San Pancho in my opinion. The not so pros: It is a bit of a walk from town. I was happy to get my steps in, but if you have mobility issues or aren't able to walk much, it may not be for you. To get in and out of the gates you need a key (2 are provided), so we had to coordinate a bit for our outings. We also had an issue with the door, however Johana was super responsive and helpful to get it sorted. 100% would recommend!

Jhoana & Luis's apartment is absolutely stunning with every modern convenience you could want. They are super hosts, with their prompt responses and open communication -- incredibly accommodating re: check in/out times. And they provided a terrific little guide to SAN PANCHO re: restaurants, markets and grocery/markets. The location was perfect for our needs, and easily walkable to town via the beach route. And the apartment itself is spacious and beautifully and comfortably decorated -- the veranda affording everyone a space outdoors. We will definitely be back and staying here again in the future. Simply a fantastic place.

Very spacious, nicely furnished/decorated and well-kept, including large, shaded balconies. Nice well-equipped kitchen and filtered water at sink. Large, heated pool is just a 10-minute walk down the paved road/path. Beach access is via gate just below pool area... This is quickest route to town. No TV or music source. Noise from lively town is clearly audible at times - music, barking, roosters. Not as many bugs as expected in jungle location, but lots of gnats... Need to keep doors closed; No screens? Also, got stung by scorpion hiding under pool umbrella stand. Don’t expect lush, manicured grounds; this is raw jungle on a hillside. Roads are somewhat steep... Good exercise!

We had such a magical vacation here (my husband, my four teenagers and I). It is a good walk to the beach and to town, but it is beautiful and safe. We loved exploring San Pancho. The unit itself is elegantly styled, yet everything was comfortable and practical. I wish I could style my own home this way! It was perfect for us. I also loved that each room had its own bathroom. Thanks Jhoana and Jose for sharing your home with us.

Absolutely beautiful, immaculate apartment. very well provisioned kitchen. we appreciated the sophisticated electronic water filtration system under the sink. Hacienda San Pancho is very quiet. We only saw a couple other people the whole time we were there. it's an easy walk to town or the beach - not quite close enough to just pop out because you need more limes, but close enough to walk both directions a couple of times a day.

Jhoana and Jose Luis's apartment is beautiful and we had a lovely stay! The views of the town of San Pancho of the ocean are lovely and the apartment had everything we needed and more. Due to the community's location, we would definitely recommend bringing a rental car to get around. We would be happy to stay here again!

We would return in a heart beat. We had an incredible 2 week stay. The place was actually even bigger, usually the place is smaller than photos make a place appear. The condo felt very private. We loved the decks, the sound of the ocean and being able to see the water through the palm fronds. Hacienda San Poncho (the resort) had low occupancy while we stayed which was a real bonus. We much preferred the feeling of having the place to ourselves. My husband and I attended Yoga daily at El EStar. The walk into town was about 15/20 minutes and while it was a good hike up the hills coming back we really enjoyed it! The pool overlooking the ocean was stunning and there were lots of umbrellas to provide poolside shade. We loved the supplied back-pack chairs that we could take out onto the beach. We felt well provided for from the beach towels to the the body wash to the well stocked kitchen items. There are so many great restaurants and excellent quality local food trucks. Highly recommend.

Excellent apartment, much better than what you see in the photos! Everything is very clean, in excellent condition! Beautiful and very comfortable!! Common silver and pool areas in heavy conditions, no lounge chairs, no umbrellas on the beach, in the pool there are no umbrellas and the tile of it is peeled off, you can cut off your foot at the bottom of the pool. Excellent attention

Host Response

Thank you so much for the kind words about the condo! We know the pool needs some maintenance. The development has plans to remodel it within the next few months, but unfortunately the schedule and work is totally out of our control. Come back next year and hope it's new and beautiful!

Excellent apartment, very spacious, comfortable, clean, and very pleasant spaces. The internet signal is weak for uploading and downloading documents. The condition of the swimming pool (as it is a beach club) is a bit neglected, and we did have to go by car since the swimming pool and the ocean are more than a 5-minute walk away.

Host Response

The pool renovation project will be starting next week. Due to the high volume of guests, they had not been able to start earlier. When you return, you'll find it in excellent condition.

One of the most beautiful homes I have stayed in, and I have stayed in many! The attention to detail, comfort and amenities in this space makes you feel like you’re in your own home. I travel a lot and often look for spaces that feels super homey. Many places just do the bare minimum, this place goes above and beyond! Thank you so much for this beautiful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Buho. Jhoana was a very helpful host and the place was exactly as pictured (maybe even nicer). It was about a 15 minute walk into town via the beach or path to a foot bridge. I will definitely be recommending to friends!

We loved the apartment! Super spacious, just as shown in the photos. Very clean! Enough room for everyone who was going. Something else that you don't see in the photos is the beach that is a few minutes walk away, and that was quite empty and clean. Anyway, we really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to come back!

We loved our stay at Buho 3. It is very nice and modern. I think it is important to know that the unit is a 15 minute walk from san pancho/san francisco. It is on the hillside next to the town. Additionally, Golf cart rental companies will not rent to this location because it is only accessible via the highway or a footbridge. It would be nice to have some bikes with the unit. I would advise that you either rent a car to have at your disposal or know that you will be using taxis.
