4BR Condo in Puerto Vallarta

Excellent, 5 months ago

Amazing stay, highly recommended.

I texted the owner sbout the filth on the balcony. No response. An injured bird was unable to leave the balcony. Bird crap everywhere! Would have liked a response . I had noticed that there would be another charge for my girlfriend when she showed up. But I thought that the extra charge was a bit outrageous. Over $1,000 extra. When you go to any hotel, there is no not an extra charge for a second charge but I thought what they charged me was too much. She slept in my bed and used my toilet. $1,000+ was out of line. Seems like everyone is looking higher prices Oh well.

This is a nice complex in a nice location. There were some issues that were handled ok ( owning properties ourselves, we understand servicing problems , especially during holiday times).The vast majority of the staff in the complex were very nice, however we did have a run in with one staff member , over a misunderstanding that could have been handled better by her. That kind of treatment leaves an impression, but overall we had a decent stay.

This was an incredible condo with unbeatable views. Stocked with many amenities including grocery bags, a beach bag, pool towels, great linens, and plenty of dishwasher & laundry pods, paper towels, toilet paper, and kitchen essentials. Represented exactly like the pictures. Great security to check you at the gate each time you enter the property and lobby security as you enter the building. The snacks and drink service at the pool is great and not mentioned in the listing. Grab a chair and the guys will be by regularly. Beer is $40, margaritas $95, I can’t recall the food exactly but about $200 or less. Very reasonable prices and good quality. Pool chairs and beach palapas were in good shape and plentiful. No towel game saving seats necessary or tolerated. Next time we would figure out grocery delivery because the nearest stores didn’t carry everything we wanted but were ok for essentials. We paid $2700 for electricity for 5 nights.

Excellent apartment, the pool, wow, and the location. The The apartment exceeded expectations. We'll be back soon.

We had an awesome stay at this property. The view out of the condo is unreal, and it sits on the corner of the building - so you can overlook the ocean from two angles. We'd grab a cup of coffee from Starbucks (3 minute walk) and bring it back to the condo to eat/drink overlooking the ocean. Lots of room, and very clean. Pool is great, and the service there is exceptional. Very reasonably priced food and drinks. There is a club next door, and they play loud music a few days of the week, but they shut it off in the evening. All in all - we had a great time, and would highly recommend the condo/property/hosts. We'll be back!!!!

Maricela & Manny were wonderful hosts and Tania was amazing and was so attentive to all my questions and needs! This condo is absolutely gorgeous! We Couldn’t get over the views every single time we walked into the living area! Pictures don’t Do it justice! Beds are very comfortable! Lots of space to spread out! Beautiful building and one of the most gorgeous pools! Highly recommend this condo for your stay! You won’t be disappointed!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this condo. The living area was open and airy, with walkouts to a large balcony overlooking the ocean. The kitchen was well equipped with all we needed and everything worked well. 3 of the 4 bedrooms were bright and airy with comfortable beds. Linens were okay, although a little worn and thin, but fine. Could be replaced soon. The location was great and we got around on foot or taxis to most places. The noise from the bar at the beach is noticeable on the weekends but ends at 9pm. The building may have some water drainage issues but the hosts solved the problems quickly. Delightful couple with lots of information about the area. All in all we loved the pool, the beach, the accommodation and Puerta Vallarta. We will come back again some day.

Great location. Beautiful beach views. Great wrap around balconies to hang out. Nice and clean condo and building tower. Awesome pool. Lots of living space for our group of 6. Secure facility. Walking distance to lots of nice local buisnesses. A few minutes from boardwalk and romantic zone. Had an amazing time and felt lucky to have found and booked this spot for our vacation in Puerto Vallarta.

My daughter and I stayed at Maricela and Manny’s place during her medical treatment. It was a very comfortable and healing place with lots of access to everything you need. You wake up everyday to the sunshine and sound of the ocean. We also had our small dog with us and the building provides a dog area which we really appreciated. Marcella and Manny are the best hosts and went above and beyond when we needed them. We are very grateful for the experience and hope to go back soon.

The place is magical with unbeatable views and access to beach and swimming pools. The condo is amazing -- spacious, with expansive balconies, and designer furniture. The host is very helpful and always responsive. The location allows for access to beach with soft sand, a shopping center nearby, and a food court. Further, it is a short drive from downtown and even shorter drive from the port where one can take various day trips across the bay.

We enjoyed our stay at Maricela and Manny's condo very much! The apartment is very spacious, clean, and has everything you may need. This was definitely one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed at. The views from the balconies are amazing! Many great restaurants are within walking distance. Maricela was very responsive and helpful. The only thing that we found to be a little bit annoying during our stay was the loud music from the pool bar nearby. But it was only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 2:00 pm. Everything else was perfect! Thank you, Maricela and Manny!

We enjoyed our stay at Maricela & Manny's home. The view was amazing; the décor was tasteful, the kitchen was fully stocked. The condominium was clean and peaceful. The hosts were friendly, accommodating and always available. The Peninsula staff were friendly and service was great. We will come back and stay here again. Some people might find the music at the day club next door annoying, but we did not mind it. Thank you Maricela for making our stay great and providing us with the welcoming snacks, fruits and beer. We loved our stay.

We had an amazing stay at Maricela’s property. The condo is on a high floor with great uninterrupted views of the ocean to watch beautiful sunsets, and spectacular fireworks from all side of the bay. The home is beautifully appointed, comfortable and well located - we could get to the boardwalk and old town in 15 minutes by Uber, the airport in ~10 minutes and get out to other places easily. The mall is next door, we didn’t shop there but handy for SIM cards.The swimming pool in the building is huge, but understandably very crowded during the holidays. The gym is well equipped and very handy to have. Maricela was always available to answer questions and helped us get our PCR tests before our return to Canada. Thank you Maricela and Manny for sharing your home with us. A vacation to be remembered indeed!

We had rented Manny and Maricela's house for my mom's 14-day quarantine phase before she could enter US. The Location was just fantabulous. We had not taken a vacation since March'20 and this was just the perfect way to break our ice. The view, the location, the amenities, pool, beachfront, the breeze - the list just goes on was perfect. Manny was there to greet us and help us check in. Took us few hours to ease in. He was very helpful whenever I had any questions. The security and staff at the premises were super friendly and helpful. One of the biggest pool we have seen ever and my 4-year old loved the pool, playing in the beach or just watching Hang Gliders land in front of the condo, or watch the ships go by and not to miss all the fireworks on Saturday evenings. All in all, a great relaxing 14 day stay at Manny's. Would recommend him always to others.

It is certainly one of the best places we have stayed. From the service by Maricela to the location of the place and its unbeatable views. The images of the apartment fall short of reality, the apartment is incredible, you have a window where you have a panoramic view from the kitchen and you can see all the sunsets while cooking. The condominium pool is quite large, I think the size of almost 3 Olympic pools. You have food and drink service at the pool and on the beach, which is also super good service. Maricela took care of us very well, she was always attentive to everything we needed, she is undoubtedly the best AirBnb host... Happy to be back in this apartment!

Our stay here was excellent. The check-in process was better than any I have ever experienced. Marcela met us at the condo and gave us a full walk through, she explained anything we may have needed to know and questions we had. She also left a few notes on local places to eat and places to go. The location of the condo is exceptional. With views in every room through the floor to ceiling windows. We were even able to see the whales breaching a few of the days from the balcony. The condo was equipped with all the amenities you may need. The security at this location is very reassuring if you are a little worried. I was very impressed with how on top of the ball the security and workers were, making sure you belonged on the grounds. That being said do not plan on bringing non registered friends to the condo (they will not be allowed in the property) Marcela was quick to respond to any messages I sent. There was one unavoidable issue, where the smart lock batteries died on the front door, but Marcella was quick to respond and even came into town to fix the issue. The Malecon is a short taxi ride but nothing to bad. That being said the only downside of the stay was that there was no restaurant inside the property. Luckily there is a grocery store only a block or two away and Marcela has all the kitchen equipment you may need to cook at the condo. I would recommend this location to anyone travelling to Puerto Villarta.

Maricela and Manny are outstanding hosts. The unit is everything you’d expect and more. It is spacious, comfortable, nicely furnished and very well equipped. The location in Puerto Vallarta is ideal, close to many restaurants and shopping centers. Its beach is great for all the family as well as the pool and all amenities in the building. Communication with Maricela and Manuel was always quick and efficient. They are always very attentive to anything that we may need. It wqs a great stay!!! Thank you!!!

We had an incredible stay in Maricela's and Manny's place. The decor was modern and chic, and the views could not be beat! We loved watching the sunset every evening on the patio, and the moon and the stars at night. We have stayed in Tower II before, but Tower III is better in my opinion! Maricela and Manny's place has everything you need and more for a relaxing and enjoyable stay! I would definitely book this place again in the future.

Amazing Unreal super safe place with the most thoughtful beautiful hosts that take your happiness personally I can’t wait to come back here over and over.The sunsets are a different portrait every night have to be seen to believe mist beautiful skies I have ever seen and I travel all over the world days are sunny and nights have been stormy and cozy. Thank you Manny And Maricela for such an amazing vacation at your home. We both loved it sooo much

Maricela & Manny’s place is a very spacious and beautifully decorated condominium, it is the kind of place we would like to visit at least once a year, maybe more often. The location of the condominium complex doesn't get any better, there are lots of great restaurants, shops, and a Starbucks, all within a very short walk. There are so many amenities in this place, the list can get very long if I mention all of them, really. I consider Puerto Vallarta to be a very safe and friendly city, still, the condominium complex has layers of security of its own, just in case you feel uneasy about traveling to a foreign country. Having said all this, the best part of renting this place was interacting with Maricela and Manny, they are so caring and friendly, they made us feel at home the moment we arrived.

Host Response

Thank you so much, please come back soon. Oscar, It was a pleasure having you and your family as guest.

This space was just as advertised. This was our 4th time renting in the Peninsula but our first in this space. We had a total of 8 people at one point during our time here and it held our group nicely. The views are absolutely amazing. The pool is amazing as well. All the amenities were there as described and everything functioned the way it should. Both Maricela and Manny were very easy to communicate with and made sure our stay was as best as it could be. 24-hour security makes you feel very safe, but know that you cannot have any visitors if they are not a part of your rental group. Some new HOA rules to Tower 3, where this space is, no longer allows access to some features like the gym which is kind of a bummer if you are expecting to use that. Overall an amazing location, don’t hesitate to book this place, it is truly wonderful. Maricela and Manny are great hosts. We look forward to coming back and renting here again if our group size needs it.

Our family had the best vacation staying in Maricela & Manny’s place in Puerto Vallarta. There was plenty of space for the six adults and three small children. It was a short Uber ride from the airport. We spent our days on the beautiful beach in front of the condo and evenings enjoying the amazing pools. An unexpected bonus was the skydivers landing on the beach daily - so fun to watch them from our balcony! It was a close walk to really good restaurants and shopping. We hope to return someday.

Host Response

Thank you for staying with us. Happy new year

The condo is located on a beautiful beach approximately 4 miles south of the airport. The decor and other accommodations were top notch. The concierge and check in desk staff were helpful in setting up tours, recommending restaurants and calling cabs for our group. The pool for the complex is gigantic and well maintained. Several excellent restaurants are located just outside the gated complex but I recommend going to some of the local restaurants that are only a short cab ride away. The taxi fares are inexpensive and we met some great taxi drivers. We definitely want to return in the near future to Maricela's and Manny's place.

Maricela and Mannys place is definitely a great place to spend your week, the condo is super clean and fully stocked with everything you need, it’s centrally located to shops and restaurants, most importantly the pool and beaches were amazing. Loved it and will be back. Thank you guys. ;)

Hands down this has been the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. Even before we got there, Maricela was very attentive to our arrival and gave us tips of where to go and eat. The house is even better than the pictures itself, very big, clean and beautiful! the condos at peninsula are amazing, the amenities are very exclusive, you even have a variety of infinity pools to choose from. The condos even have a spa! You can walk to a mall where you can get your daily starbucks or anything you would like. The location is great, you are 10 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from all the good places. Maricela arranged for Belen (amazing as well! ) to cook for us in the morning, she is an excellent cook! we would have breakfast with ocean view! I am definitely coming back! Thank you for making our trip perfect.

Maricela and Manny's condo is absolutely beautiful all around, clean, great views, great location, the infinity pool is amazing and the gym is a plus. My family and I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere we felt safe throughout our stay. The Peninsula is very strict there are no visitors allowed. The condo is actually 3 bedrooms and 1 studio (has a door but no windows). The studio is perfect for one person since it’s fairly small. Thank you Maricela & Manny!

Maricela and Manny's condo was BEAUTIFUL and in a great location. They were very easy to work with. We can't wait to go again!

Maricela and Manny have a lovely home. They have also equipped it with all the comforts of home. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. I have never seen a more well appointed kitchen thru Airbnb. Same goes for the bathrooms with toiletries, robes, even soft toilet paper and kleenex! The MBr bed is fabulous! We have always struggled with wifi in Mexico, and this worked perfectly at all times. If you are debating which unit to rent in the Peninsula, this is it. This is our third stay in the property, and by far, the best value and space.

My family had an amazing stay in Puerto Vallarta at Maricela’s place! There was plenty of space for my family of 5 (including kids ages 9, 12, and 14), and my mom and stepdad. 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms meant plenty of private space for everyone when needed, and plenty of showers! We cooked a lot while we were here, and the kitchen is wonderfully stocked with everything you need. The condo is situated very convenient to shopping and groceries, and a short cab or Uber ride downtown. We also loved being so close to the airport when it was time to go home. The views from the condo were just amazing! We loved watching the amazing sunsets, feeling the refreshing ocean breezes, and listening to the ocean every night as we went to sleep. My kids loved watching the pelicans catching fish. The pool and beach area exceeded our expectations as well. The pool is so large and with so many chairs there was never a shortage, or having to go to the pool early to get one. The pool has lots of shallow areas as well which makes it very easy to enjoy with smaller children. Also plenty of chairs to use on the beach, and palapas for shade. There was a cooler in the condo as well, to use to bring drinks and food to the pool area or beach, which we appreciated. Truly everything exceeded our expectations! We would definitely stay here again.

The space is gorgeous and the view is spectacular. We got to see sky divers coming in right on the beach, whales jumping, and beautiful sunsets and mountains. The pool area and beach are steps away and they are both equally incredible. The Tower 3 is quite strict and does not allow visitors which was a bit of a downer since we had family staying in other towers. But if you don’t want visitors, the extra security is a plus. Otherwise I fully recommend this property for an amazing family vacation spot. It was exactly as advertised and we all had an amazing time.

The descriptions matched every detail of the condo. Watching the sunset from the balcony was amazing as well as great place to watch the whales. The location is great to get away from the noise of town and Uber was easily available. Communication was wonderful. I highly recommend.

Amazing views, spacious, and very clean. Day spa is worth trying. Good prices. The gym and pool were great amenities. We were within walking distance to nice restaurants and grocery stores. We also were not too far from downtown. My husband got a traffic ticket during this trip. I reached out to Maricela and Manny asking what we should do and Maricela got back to me quickly telling us where we should go to pay it. She gave us great advice. She made a stressful situation less stressful. She even offered to go with us if we needed her to. I had mentioned to Maricela & Manny that we were celebrating 2 of my sisters birthday on this trip and Maricela was so sweet to get a cake for my sisters. Overall we had an amazing experience and successful trip! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

From the very beginning of our booking Maricela and Manuel were very responsive and accommodating. They were very helpful with our pre-trip planning and transportation from the airport. The security at the apartment is very good. My family of seven felt very safe the entire time we were at the property and the surrounding areas. The property is walking distance from several very good restaurants, shopping areas, and a supermarket. I would recommend La Madelena and 8Taco. The whole city of Puerto Vallarta feels very safe and friendly. The condo is fantastic. The view from the condo is amazing. It had a beautiful pool and a beautiful beach. There is a spot on the property where you can get a very reasonably priced massage. There is a hot tub and sauna in the spa, but there is no Jacuzzi tub in the pool area. I have previously stated in Nuevo Vallarta, but staying closer to El Centro was better in many ways since we had close proximity to so many great shops and restaurants. We were also close to a SUP tour, a cooking tour, and a taco tour that we also arranged through Airbnb. Overall we were VERY pleased with our stay.

Wow! We absolutely loved this place. The view is truly spectacular. Two very large wrap around balconies. Beautiful decorations and great amenities. Very secure, very large infinity pool, high security, high end restaurants and shopping in walking distance. Short Uber to downtown, grocery stores, airport, and zona romantica. This is definitely our favorite Airbnb or similar type of rental and once of the nicest places we've ever stayed. We didn't want to leave. Also Manny and Maricela are very sweet and highly responsive!

Maricela and Manny's condo is a beautiful place to relax and share time with family in Puerto Vallarta. The view is incredible and the pictures don't do the place justice. There is a gigantic crystal clear pool that is right on the beach. The complex is very well maintained and the security is tight. We really enjoyed being so close to shopping and only a 10 minute walk to Walmart. I definitely recommend this great condo.

This condo was amazing. The VIEWS were breathtaking. The hosts surprised me with a birthday cake I can go on an on about this place. Everything was perfect. The staff was very helpful. The security was great. You felt very safe. The pools were awesome. The beaches are a few steps away. This condo was close to restaurants, shops and downtown. Taxi rides were an average of 50 pesos if you want a ride to the restaurants. There was not one thing that was not 5 stars in this beautiful condo. Will return again.

This place is everything and more as described! It has a very modern feel with wrap around decks, huge windows and doors to soak in the beautiful beach and Mountain views! Every room in the place is thoughtfully embellished The amenities are first class throughout. Plenty of space and privacy for everyone. Manny and Marciela are fantastic hosts! It’s conveniently located to many restaurants and shops and a short 10 minute taxi ride downtown.

Excellent place super recommended!

Maricela and Manny's Place is amazing! The rooms are nice and large and each has its own bathroom with large showers. Two bedrooms have access to the balcony. The beds are so soft and great quality. There was plenty of towels as well as pool/beach towels to use. The washer and dryer were very well used in our trip since we had 3 kids with us! The living room and kitchen were great and had the most amazing views. The living room has sliding glass doors on two sides facing the ocean/beach and pool giving spectacular sunsets. The pool is amazing and great for families. The wifi is great and strong! A good section of the pool is shallow and perfect for the little kids to play in. The spa was great. During our stay we had two couple massages and a facial. It was great and an amazing price. The location is great just a ten minute taxi ride to the Malecon and only a mile to large grocery stores. Its a short walk to the shopping center with great stores and restaurants, we really enjoyed Carlos and Charlies restaurant. The only down side is the lack of beach side bar close by. We went in August so its the slower season and may have more bars open during the busy season. We will for sure be back! Maricela and Manny were very accommodating to us and our guests count issue. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. We would highly recommend this location!!

This is a great property in a fabulous location. The view is incredible and Maricela and Manny are responsive. I own several rental properties around the world and I know first hand it's not always easy. Problems come up but it's how a problem is handled. Marcela allowed us to check in a little early which was great. The maid was cleaning up the property and I noticed that the freezer had a puddle of water. She said that she thought the maid defrosted it but I noticed later that night it didn't work. Neither did the fridge. A fridge/freezer was essential for us as we have young children. Manny was great and although it was later, he brought over another fridge with small freezer to use from another property. I really appreciated that as my wife just came from the store with groceries that would have spoiled if we didn't have a fridge. Also, the next day the remote to the black out blind wouldn't work. It ended up being dead batteries and they replaced them the next day. The only annoying thing was having to wake up to a really bright room early. They brought someone over to fix the fridge/freezer 2 days later so it was working fine when we left. Guests can rest assured that Maricela and Manny are responsive if any issues come up. The only thing that was different for me in renting rentals around the world was that electricity wasn't included. This was something new. So before booking, you might want to note that. They take the meter reading when you check-in and then when you check-out. For a 5 night stay it came out to about $100 US dollars more. Also, they are VERY strict about having no guests in the building. It was slightly annoying as our family members were staying in another building close by and we assumed they could come to the pool area but Manny and Maricela wouldn't allow it as they said the building doesn't allow it. Fortunately my cousin's boss owned a penthouse unit in Tower 2 and he was able to arrange them coming as his guests. I'm not sure why he could allow it and this rental unit wouldn't. It was the only annoying thing so if you're expecting to have any type of guests over, the building is strict about it. All in all, I'd recommend this unit to any potential guests with the understanding that you need to pay for electricity usage and also can't have any guests at all.

This a spacious, stylish apartment with all the amenities you'd expect from a luxury accommodation - which this Airbnb is, without a doubt. And yet it is still the view of the ocean that takes the breath away and lingers in my memory! My wife and I - together with our three teen sons - had ample room to spread out and relax...beautiful pools, short walk to the beach, cool and friendly beach shack restaurant - El Oasis Del Holi - within 50 feet, high-end restaurants and bars just outside the complex. Five Stars. Wonderful!

This large, modern, and stylish condo is absolutely AMAZING, and Maricela and Manny were more than accommodating to our every need. I stayed here with my husband & 2 little girls for a week, and we really didn’t want to leave. The ocean views from the wrap-around balcony are stunning (no better place to watch the sunset!), the pool is huge and the perfect depth for wading, swimming, or playing, the beds are comfortable, and the open kitchen is great for cooking and hanging out. My husband and I also enjoyed multiple treatments in the ridiculously affordable, gorgeous spa. The building staff were also lovely and helpful. Tip: there’s a casual little beach restaurant on the sand just across the river that is relaxed and fun with huge margaritas. We just got home, and already we can’t wait to visit again!

Maricela & Manny's place is simply jaw dropping beautiful. Spacious, clean and the view is unbeatable (we saw a whale and it's baby playing at the ocean from the balcony!). The amenities and services in the complex are top, first class, safe and really well maintained. Expect to be amazed by the place and Maricela and Manny going the extra mile to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. 5 stars out of 5! Thanks Maricela and Manny, we'll be back for sure.

Very beautiful space loved it very much! Maricela & Manny were great hosts, very accommodating, and responsive. The views are incredible, with several terraces, with views in all directions (particularly the sunsets, great!) The unit itself is expansive, beautiful living-dining area, lots of airy/breezy spaces, and 3 bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom/shower. Fast internet. The area itself is very convenient and safe, Starbucks at main entrance :) 10 min bus ride to Malecon, definitely recommend this space to anyone who needs more than 1 bedroom.
