What a great stay! The property is perfectly situated in the Alta Vista area just above the Zona Romantica - a quick 10 minute downhill walk to everything and a 5 Uber ride back. Did that everyday. The private pool and deck were incredible. Javier was always available to answer any questions you might have. Perfect host. Hopefully we’ll be back next Feb-Mar.

This was a great spot for our first visit to PV, being located in a lively Mexican neighbourhood but easily walkable to the beaches, Malecon, shops, bars and restaurants of Zona Romantica. Centro and beyond. As others have mentioned, the view from this condo has evolved somewhat since the photos on the listing were taken. It still enjoys an elevated outlook across the city towards the bay and Javier has planted lush greenery around the patio for added privacy though maybe not as private as it once was with the ongoing new construction around.  The outside space of this condo is the reason to book here with various seating areas and we sprung for pool heating and really appreciated it.  It was nice to meet Javier who was welcoming and on hand if we needed anything.  The convenient location and terrific outside space made this a great value stay.

Great property. The space is wonderful. the rooftop pool is absolutely DIVINE! The hill isn't as bad as it seems, although an uber ride was 3 from the beach, so we took advantage. The location is fabulous, it was so nice. We ABSOLUTELY will be back. The host was so amenable and provided everything we needed and more. It is so private and nice. I guarantee you will not be disappointed! 5 STARS all around.

Great View

This property provided a great view of downtown Puerto Vallarta and a wonderful outdoor lounging space complete with sun deck and pool. The property manager, Javier, was courteous and accommodating. The only reason for not giving the property five stars was the lack of communication concerning my arrival, which left me standing outside of the unit with no one around until I convinced the second-floor tenant to contact the owner of the penthouse. I was not given contact information for Javier prior to my arrival.

Amazing value, huge private pool, authentic Mexican neighbourhood!!!

We're a 'mature' Canadian couple who enjoy walking, fresh air, exercise, our own space to cook simple meals, some nice outdoor living to enjoy the sunshine and a pool to cool off in. The condo operated by the very friendly and capable Javier definitely ticks all the boxes. Sure, you have to be ready for the stairs, but for us the trade-off is well worth it. Lazy folks or those with mobility issues may want to look elsewhere -- but for us this place was a dream, with the pool at the very top of the list. Thanks for everything Javier. We hope to be back!!!!

A charming condo with a beautiful pool terrace and view

We spent nine days in this condo during pride week in PV. In addition to being close to all shops and clubs, we enjoyed being a bit away from old PV (15 minutes walk), which prevented us from being disturbed by music and people talking late into the night. If you want to explore the whole Mexican neighborhood and experience everything it has to offer, this is the perfect place to stay. Because the neighborhood is on a steep hill, walking to the condo requires relatively good physical condition. Your workout for the day will be this. Despite the walk, the terrace view is worth it. It was a pleasure to work with Alejandro, the property manager, and all communication went smoothly. I suggest updating the pictures from the terrace since the view has changed due to a couple of buildings that were built. A shower remodel might also be necessary in the near future. This condo is a place I'd consider staying again in the future.

Beautiful pool!

Very nice apartment with a gorgeous deck area and pool! Managers were very kind and prompt. The pool pump had gone out over the holiday weekend, so we didnt use the pool for our first two days, but Javier got it up and running for the rest of our week. PROS: Heated pool. (We opted to heat the pool so it was nice to enjoy in the am's and evenings. Its a huge pool so I totally understand the additional cost) Walking distance to beach, restaurants, and boardwalk. (Kitchen is set up to cook, but your so close to so many restaurants, we ate out the majority of our time there. Everthing was super clean, comfy bed, hot water, and cable TV for in the evenings to watch a movie. Theres a little store right below you for ice and mixers. (They have filtered water at the apartment if you'd like to make ice) CONS: The stairs! But you get used to them. (If you can't climb a ladder, you probably shouldn't book this spot) To view the sunset, you'll need to walk down to the beach. There's 2 large condo complexes between your deck and the sunset, so depending on time of year, you may be able to glimpse it between the 2 bldgs, but probably not. There is construction going on across the street, which when finished, will look down on the pool and sun deck, but they have plants and umbrellas to block a lot of it, just sometimes there will be noise. We enjoyed our time here and the heated pool! Thank you Andreas & Javier for a comfy stay in PV

Nice Stay

This was a very nice place to stay. The rooftop pool and patio area was used a lot. It's not a far walk to the restaurants, shops, and beaches. A challenge we had was with how loud it was in the morning with the roosters and dogs barking. We found that closing the windows and sliding doors helped quite a bit. The noise wasn't an issue outside of that. We would definitely stay here again!

Alta Vista was the perfect setting for a relaxing and private vacation! The outdoor area is amazing! You can follow the sun or the shade all day with comfortable seating, great views, and strategic (and beautiful) landscaping. The pool is exactly as shown, private with beautiful views. The kitchen is well stocked. The bedroom is quiet and comfortable. The condo both inside and out is very clean and well maintained. We had cleaning service twice and the pool was serviced, too, but very quietly we never knew when! The neighborhood is wonderful with a quick walk downhill to the town. The location is perfect to enjoy all that PV has to offer! We can't wait to return!

Beautiful pool

The pool and patio are beautiful! It was too cold without heating it, that costs $25/day and was essential when we visited. The photo of the view from the pool in the ad is dated - new construction has blocked some of that view of the ocean, sadly. The indoors caught the smell of cigarette smoke from a courtyard or another unit in the building. It might not bother smokers but it did affect us. And I would join the other reviewer who cautioned that the toilet isn’t private. The toilet wall and door do not reach the ceiling so someone in bed can hear every toilet noise as well as if they were standing beside the toilet. There are two mini marts on the block of the condo that were convenient, and we were a short walk to the neighborhood shops/bar scene and a totally reasonable walk to the beach! Despite the cigarette and bathroom problems, the pool and patio’s beauty made it a great stay.

Pool, terrace, and views are stunning. The interior is on the small side

The terrace is simply fantastic. It has great views of the city and the exterior furniture offers comfortable places to lounge, sit, or eat. There is often a nice breeze but when there isn't there is a super powerful fan to help you stay cool. The interior is smaller than I thought it would be. The toilet and shower are only about 5 feet or 1.5 meters from the bed. They are separated by partial walls so you don't see into them from the bed, but you hear and smell them. If you use them while someone is asleep you will probably wake that person up. Because the rooms are small, the AC cools them down in about 5 minutes, which is great. The living room and kitchen area is comfortable for 2 people to cook, relax, and eat. The kitchen has good cookware, serving dishes, and storage containers. The location was perfect for us. It is close enough to the touristy beach area to walk there if you want fancy dinners and stores. But there are lots of less expensive, local-focused places that are closer. We enjoyed a mix of both, so living just outside the tourist area was perfect. Although its wonderful for a vacation, I would not recommend working remotely from the house. I never found a comfortable spot to use my laptop for extended periods, so I switched from the kitchen table to the couch to the outdoor table every hour. My husband rented a desk at a nearby co-working space, which he loved. If we have any work to do next time we come back, we will definitely do that.

Beautiful pool, sundeck, and neighborhood.

The pool and sundeck exceeded our expectations. Much more stunning than the pictures. We loved the neighborhood. This is the "real" Vallarta instead of the tourist areas. Such friendly people. Small store across the street for necessities, larger one 100' away with most everything, and a taco stand in front of the condo. Javier was extremely attentive to everything. No problems at all for the entire stay. If you have a problem with stairs, this might not be the place. A little hard the first day but after a few days it was much easier. The pool was crystal clear all the time and the cleaning lady was excellent. Must have been 50 potted trees and plants around the sundeck area so it looked like a garden. We loved listening to the many busy roosters all day, everyday.
