John's condo is the nicest vacation rental we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in LOTS!) The location is quiet since it's just outside the lively Zona Romantica, but it's a short (if steep) walk into town, or a quick Uber ride if you're not up to walking. The unit itself is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully decorated, with great ocean views, and very spacious for our family of five. We hardly wanted to leave the condo to sitesee! The AC and ceiling fans work great, the beds and bedding are top-notch, bathrooms are big and have plenty of storage. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes but honestly we never cooked. We either went out or made use of both of the two restaurants on the premises, which were very reasonable and good, and with pretty views. The infinity pool on the rooftop is fabulous-- we found it hard to leave each time we used it! The waiters, bartenders, guys at the front desk were all very nice and helpful.
As far as activities, we loved our 7-hour trip to Las Caletas with Vallarta Adventures (zip line, water slide, adult beach with a bar, great lunch, kids beach, snorkeling, paddle boards, relaxing in hammocks on the beach...) For restaurants, we loved El Dorado Restaurant and Beach Club (rent lounge chairs on the beach and they bring drinks and meals to you), Barcelona Tapas, Panchos Tacos, MargaritaGrill, and Ocean Grill at Playa Colomitos, a little south of Mismaloya and well worth the Uber ride and water taxi to get there. (We did this after hiking to waterfalls at Palo Maria.)
We are determined to go back--we had a perfect 5 days at this condo and in PV in general. We also appreciated how easy it was to communicate with John the owner and Angel, the property manager. They were very responsive when we had questions.
