We have been going to Puerto Vallarta for over 40 years and used to stay high up the hill overlooking the bay, but this time we didn't want to deal with the long walks or cab rides to get to and from the beach. This building, Playa Bonita, is right on our favorite stretch of Playa Los Muertos and close to many restaurants and small shops. It is also next door to The Blue Chairs Beach Resort so if you're LGBT+, you can't get better located, plus the beach directly in front of the property is reserved for owners and guests of Playa Bonita, and has food/beverage service from the Blue Chairs restaurant, so you get all the benefits and don't have to be crowded in like the beach areas on either side. If you're not LGBT+, the location is still perfect for a relaxing vacation with the bay right outside your balcony.
The unit is well maintained with maid service twice a week and the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Fidel was our first contact at the property and proved to be an invaluable source of knowledge of the area and helpful if anything arises. He arranged for a physician to come to the unit a day before our departure back to the US to administer the required COVID test so we didn't have to go anywhere else to get it done.
This unit is on the third floor at the farthest end away from the stairs and elevator, so noise from other guests was almost non-existant. The internet is very good and you can change the language on many of the cable channels if you want to watch many movies in English. The kitchen is well equipped so if you like to cook it's easy to find the utensils you might need.
The owner, Michael, is very helpful and accommodating. He sends you a welcome email with a ton of information you'll need about how to get to the property, check in, and local amenities. We emailed back and forth a few times because I had additional questions that were not in the email and he always answers promptly.
The condo was a good value for the price and we would definitely stay here again.
