My wife and I and another couple just returned from this condo earlier this month. It's located on the 10th floor of Tower One of The Peninsula. The view is absolutely spectacular, with a wrap-around balcony providing facing Banderas Bay off the front and the Marina to the north. While the condo itself is extremely well-appointed with everyone you need, we lived on the balcony, a front-row seat for Puerto Vallarta's famous sunsets. The 10th floor is perfect, too. Not too high, for those who aren't crazy about heights. The temperature of the pools at The Peninsula is cooler than some may like, mostly because the main pool is enormous and doesn't get sun until early afternoon. The temperature takes no time to get used to, however. The beach is fine... not as nice as some of the ones in Nuevo or Nayarit, but very swimmable and great for long walks. The location of The Peninsula towers is a huge asset. Lots of pubs and restaurants within walking distance, as well as several major grocery stores, and if you want to take a taxi, the romantic zone is just 100-150 pesos. Overall, this condo is absolutely beautiful and we would not hesitate to rent it again.

Overall, the Peninsula is one of the best places to stay in PV, for a number of reasons: 1. Pool is amazing - one of the largest 2. View(s) are amazing (if you have a front unit) 3. Location - lots of places to eat, and walking to Walmart/Sams Club/Costco However, do your homework...for this particular unit, some things were not as described - if your just using the condo to sleep, and NOT to feed the family, its fine...but if your planning on making meals, here's some things to know: -stove not working consistently - burners didnt work, random if they worked or not -no oven in the unit - was not disclosed in unit description -dishwasher not working - and was never fixed -drain plugged in 2nd bedroom -blinds were stuck, and when tried to open, they fell down (they were fixed, but you can tell they have not been attended to in years) -bed pillows completely worn out, not even sure why they bothered with them they are that bad -overall, the unit needs quite a bit of work - somewhat dirty, walls all scuffed, no maintenance in years The security at Peninsula is tight, but around the pool its a bit ridiculous..owners are given preference to chairs, so as a renter (with a wrist band so they can tell) you are really treated like second class citizens I will say that the communication with the property manager was fast, and they did try to attempt to fix issues quickly - but you can tell, that unless a renter says something, they put NO effort into caring for the unit.
