Stunning Bay View

Extremely well-equipped and very nicely furnished condo with a bay view that afforded us almost daily whale-watching opportunities. The grounds are immaculate and the Beach Club and Jungle Pools are great places to spend a day. Chris, the owner, was quick to respond to our every need. Truly a beautiful place and highly recommended.

Wonderful small-town Mexico Experience

The condo was nice and clean and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and we slept great! The club by the beach is really nice for private beach access and a large pool where you can order food and drinks or just relax without pressure to buy anything. The food there is really good and reasonably priced. The town itself is quaint and not as touristy as most, but there are lots of good restaurants to choose from and there are nice trips available out on the water for fishing or sightseeing.

Stunning property

The property is gorgeous, the condo was clean and a minor issue was addressed right away. We loved watching the whales breach from the patio. The only thing that could be a little clearer in the listing is that the beach was somewhere between 1/2 mile-3/4 mile away and the trek back to the condo includes a long steep hill so if you’re not fairly fit you’ll struggle a bit going back up, a golf cart would be really helpful for the older less fit crowd. Christine was very responsive and welcoming and it’s the perfect location if you want out of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Holiday getaway

Overall an amazing experience. From watching whales in the bay from the balcony to seeing the entire skyline light up at night. Fireworks on the 31st were abundant throughout the bay and the balcony offered a great viewing spot. Our favorite for the week was the beach club and private beach. We spent several days down there. We also loved the town of LaCruz and the Sunday market was outstanding. Christine was easy to work with and even checked in on us during our stay. Would definitely recommend to families looking for something private, peaceful and away from the hustle of Sayulita, Bucerias, or PV.

Wow! What an incredible place. It was so clean and well equipped. The view from the balcony from both bedrooms was spectacular, and we watched fireworks for New Years Eve from the balcony. What a treat. We enjoyed the pool right at the condo as well as the beautiful beach club, where there was a restaurant, nice pool with varying depths so our 1 year old could play. The food at the beach club was okay and fairly on par with other places. We walked into La Cruz for dinner (about 15 min walk). The walk up the hill to the condo was okay for us but if you have issues with hills, I’d suggest another alternative or take a taxi/uber. Getting groceries we bussed (just at the foot of the hill little vans come frequently, about 15 pesos) into Bucerias, then we uberred back. Our biggest challenge was getting the water up the hill. Kind of wished for a drinking water unit in the condo, but we managed. You can drink the water but we preferred not to. With a family and baby stuff the owner helped us by telling us to call the gatehouse and they arranged a van taxi. It was around 1200 pesos to the PVR airport. The airport was a nightmare, not enough traffic controllers, so I’d say at least 3 hours was needed for our January 2026 stay. I can’t enough about how wonderful Christine the host was. We had an issue with the garbage disposal which was fixed that day. We will definitely come again.

Beautiful View

We wanted to stay in a quiet, less touristy town for this visit to Mexico. La Cruz didn’t have much happening the week we were there and it was pretty sleepy. Just what we wanted! The other Alamar owners/guests were very friendly. Beach club was excellent although the pool temperatures were a bit too warm. I loved their ceviche and tacos. Be sure to ask about happy hour since it will save you 50% off. (It was 3:30-4:30 when we visited) We hit Mega foods on the way to the condo and were so grateful that we did that since it’s quite a walk to get food anywhere near the condo. Just ask the taxi driver at the airport to add another hour for waiting. Bring large jugs of water and a bag of ice upon arrival. Found some wonderful restaurants. Try La Peska or Ala Braza. Look for Mario’s on Delfin street for the best grocery selection. Go to the fish market for amazing fresh fish. We walked to those places and took a taxi back. Although if you stay out too late it’s impossible to find a taxi so one night we had to walk back on the highway after listening to a wonderful band at the Green Tomate. No regrets!

Excellent condo for a relaxing vacation

This is an excellent condo that is well maintained and in a extremely nice development. The facilities were as advertised and the accommodations were fantastic. La Cruz is a small fishing village away from the overrun tourist areas like Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita. A very relaxing vacation. We'll definitely be back.

The condo is beautiful perfect for our family of 3. Both bathrooms have great views of the ocean.

We have a wonderful time. Christine our host was very friendly and provided us with details information to make our stay a very nice one. The condos provided everything we need and more. We did not do any cooking but if you do, the condos have all the necessary spices, oil, and vinegar to make a meal. There are lots of restaurants in Cruz, and very close drive to punts Mitas, Sayulitas, and Pancho. These places have great beaches for surfing, snorkeling, and whale watching tours. If you don’t like crowd you can rent your own private tour. We did that in Punta Mita and have a great time. The only thing you need for this place is a car to get around.

Three Months in Paradise

Our stay from January through March of 2021 at Christine's condo (Alamar, Amura Tower, 304B) was the best vacation my husband and I have ever had. The unit was spectacular and the view is beyond what words can describe...Bahia de Banderas, whales during the day and the city lights of Puerto Vallarta at night...not to speak of the pangas and sailboats that grace the bay every day. We fell in love with the charming fishing village of La Cruz De Huanacaxtle that has not only great local cuisine at street cafes but also a 5***** restaurant right in the heart of the village (Masala's). We have already reserved time in 2022 and can't wait to go back. Truly a vacation of a lifetime.

Amazing view and lovely place to relax

Our family of five had a wonderful stay here. The condo is beautiful, large, and relaxing with an awesome view of the bay. We enjoyed eating breakfast and on the deck especially. The beach club was a nice break from our beach hopping also. We would happily stay again. Christine was a great host, very on top of things!

Great location and condo

The condo was great for our family of six. The pools are beautiful and warm. The beach is about a five minute walk. The second bedroom is a bit small with two beds but worked well for our four teens. La Cruz is a small town, good restaurants, easy to walk through and feels safe. The Sunday market was a fun morning. The fish market is fantastic. We rode the bus and local taxis which stop at the Alamar driveway. It is easy to go to Puerto Vallarta or other towns. Kids loved scuba diving and surfing at Playa la Lancha Christine answered all my questions before arriving about scheduling activities and logistics and also was prompt at responding once we arrived. She is a great hostess

Thank you for being such great guests and for submitting your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the location and were able to get into La Cruz and Puerto Vallarta central to experience the many great activities the Riviera Maya has to offer. It's great to hear that you found the transportation convenient. I enjoy getting out and having new adventures, and your family certainly did that well!
