Paulette was a pleasure to deal with. We ran into a problem with power going out and she had a maintenance man on site within 30 minutes. The condo is very well situated, located right on the beach with a grocery store and several good restaurants within a few blocks, and only 4 blocks to the start of the Malacon. We would definitely recommend this condo and are looking at staying here again next year.

It was probably the easiest check in/out I've ever experienced. I visit playa camarones every year and stay next door at the time share so this location is important to me. Fortunately there was an availability and i stayed puerta al mar on my favorite beach. The staff was amazing and always willing to please. I highly recommend this location. Great times here.

Great location, walked everywhere. So nice to have the option of hanging by the pool or sitting on the beach. Lovely to sit on the terrace and watch the palm trees swaying in the breeze.

💯 - Thank you SO much for staying with us Jean, we are happy you enjoyed your time in Amazing Puerto Vallarta!! ~/ Paulette
I stayed here in may with my sister and the place was beautiful and extremely easy to get to the beach. Swam in the ocean every day and sometimes the pool when we didn't want to get Sandy. Sunset dinners on the balcony (or nearby beach restaurants) were beautiful.

Paulette’s place is BEAUTIFUL, everything is exactly as in the pictures, pool is amazing! The location is outstanding, everything you can possibly need is within walking distance and Paulette and Rosa are very quick to answer any questions or concerns. Will definitely stay here again.
Overall, stay was quite nice. We really enjoyed the area a little bit of a drive to access Golf. The food was superb especially those small places off the beaten path the beach we would’ve enjoyed more if it had less rocks and was a little noisy on the weekend.
Great location and nice unit for us. Clean and walking distance to everything on a nice stretch of beach. Beautiful sunsets without the noise of the malecon or romantic zone. Staff very nice and made amends for a last minute room change.
Minutes walk to grocery store and famous Malecon walkway and direct access to beach. Only 8 units in building and well staffed with management, maintenance and security. Beautiful unit with a big balcony off living area and smaller one off main bedroom. Each bedroom has its own bathroom.

It’s wonderful that you appreciated the small, well-staffed building and the management, maintenance, and security team who work hard to make every stay special. We’re also thrilled you loved the spacious balcony off the living area, the cozy one in the main bedroom, and the added comfort of having a private bathroom in each bedroom. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay soon!
2nd time staying in condo. We loved the breeze off the waterand Marth is awesome. One thing that good be better is the chairs on the patio, very uncomfortable but other than that a great place!

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect and super convenient. Located minutes away from supermarket, restaurants and shops. It’s right on the beach with easy private access in and out of building. The view from our living room balcony was beautiful. Don Carlos was super helpful and accommodating when we needed beach chairs and umbrellas put out and in. Check in and out was a breeze and unit has washer and dryer that came in so handy. Would definitely stay again. Great spot definitely recommend.
A great condo with decks looking over the ocean and a deck towards mountains for the morning sun. Well stocked once we discovered the pantry in the laundry room. The neighbourhoods is great. Off the Malecon but close enough to walk to it if you want. Two grocery stores a short walk away.

Paulette & Puerta al Mar Team
Excellent property and wonderful location. If youre going to stay in Puerto Vallarta, 5 de Dieciembre is definitely a top neighborhood to check out. Paulette, our host, did an amazing job at guiding us through the check in process and provided us plenty of information that was useful for our stay.The AC in our bedroom unit malfunctioned during our third night, and unfortunately the maintenance team were unable to get it repaired before we left. Additionally the remote for the TV didnt work despite trying replacement batteries. Those were just small things however, and did not deteact from how much we enjoyed the apartment and location.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the apartment, the location, and that the 5 de Diciembre neighborhood made such a great impression during your stay. It was truly our pleasure to host you, and I’m glad the check-in process and local information were helpful for your visit.
We do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the AC issue and the TV remote. While we were unfortunately unable to get the AC repaired before your departure, please know that the system has since been serviced so that future guests can enjoy it without interruption. We also replaced the remote to ensure smooth use going forward.
We really appreciate your understanding and the kind words despite these small hiccups. It means a lot that you would still highlight the positive aspects of your stay. We’d love to welcome you back to Puerto Vallarta and Puerta al Mar again soon!
Warm regards,
Paulette
Mm
We had a great stay. Late check in was simple and rental was clean, comfortable and just as described.
The view and beachfront location made our stay well worth it. The mattress could have been a little more comfortable but we slept like babies with the sound of the waves all night. AC units and appliances worked well. Washing machine mode button does need some repair and only worked with hot water but we had no problem using it.
The location was ideal for our small family. Just a few minutes walk to the malecón and anything else we could need. We will definitely be returning for future stays.

The perfect place in Puerto Vallarta
We have just returned from 2 marvelous weeks in PV staying at Puerta al Mar. The suite is on the beach overlooking a heated pool. Sunset pictures garanteed every eve. The suite is very clean with all amenities provided. A great deck and awesome BBQ. The staff are very freindly and can't do enough to make sure your stay is pleasant. The location is close to a large supermarket and several blocks to the Malecon (boardwalk). No car required here. Lots of fine resturants to choose from all within walking distance. 20 minutes on the bus to Walmart. Locals very freindly and helpfull.
We will be back.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Nice but worn and needs updates
Nice location and staff but very dirty on arrival
HVAC leaked water most of the time w were there
Doors are flimsy and hard to operate
Had to ask security multiple times to ask partying trespassers to leave the private beach area outside our window. Police on the street stopping people at 3:00 AM overall we had a good stay but would not go back to that specific location

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our location and found our staff to be accommodating. However, we are truly sorry to learn that your experience fell short of expectations due to cleanliness issues upon arrival, HVAC concerns, and difficulties with the doors.
Ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of our guests is our utmost priority, and we regret that we did not meet your expectations in this regard. As we discussed, being in the tropics with constant heat & humidity sometimes leads to access condensation and were glad we had HVAC on site to correct the situation immediately.
Regarding the external noise, we understand how disruptive this must have been for you however the beach is a public beach
and being located downtown it can be active, so for those that want a very quiet stay, downtown would probably not be a good choice for you.
We spoke housekeeping regarding unit inspection prior to check-in and are happy to say that this oversight has been corrected.
Should your travels bring you back to the area, we hope you will reconsider and give us another opportunity to provide you with the exceptional experience that you deserve.

Great location
PuertaAlMar is a fairly-new, quality building in a great location - on the beach, an easy walk to the Malecon, and convenient to Leys (for groceries) and many restaurants and take-outs. The building staff (and owner) are very friendly and eager to assist with any problems. We had a great 4 week stay.
Our only warnings:
1. There are a couple live band locations nearby whose music drifts into the condo in the evening.
2. The cable tv is Sky - mainly Spanish language. No familiar US or Canadian channels
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
We do appreciate every review we receive and (as you can read above) go ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure our guests are taken care of and have someone available for you 24/7.. The Satellite TV which is called “SKY” in Puerto Vallarta, of course has more Spanish channels than English.. It’s a Spanish speaking country :) Out of the 300 + channels we have, about 25 are English and, we provide a guide to all guests who are not familiar with how TV works in Mexico.. We have Berenice (who we call our Director of First Impressions:) available in the buildings main office for anyone who has questions; you can also call her directly from your condo.
For music and entertainment you will find that, all over Puerto Vallarta - we are located Downtown and directly on the beach which, most people want. With that also comes a little more activity which includes nightly fireworks from you balcony, over the ocean at around 9:00 PM.. We just felt “warning” was a little harsh.. And just and FYI… If you are looking for a truly private and quiet oasis, we also have an oceanfront villa also on HomeAway # 962737.. We look forward to having you.. Bienvenido a Puerto Vallarta!!..
