The view from the top floor was indeed beautiful, and the sunsets were amazing. You can see up and down the bay from the balcony. The condo was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The additional fees for cleaning, towels, etc., added up to about 13.00 a day or us. The location is great with the Plaza directly across the street. A bus stop is there as well, and it is easy to catch a bus to Walmart and a multitude of locations. There is typically a person there who advises you on which bus to get on for your requested destination. We used Google Translate on a few occasions and at the condo for check-in and check out. Judes restuarant is on site as well as another location at the mall across the street (almost the same menu, but less expensive). Staff at both locations are great. So much to see and do from this location, we will definitely consider it again! **and we did not need to contact our hosts during our stay, everything was very nicely tagged and complete directions for everything. Victoria was very responsive to our questions before our stay.

Our's was a much needed time of rest and relaxation and that is what we got! Listening to the surf break on the beach so close by was as amazing as always. The location of this property (Marina Fiesta) is right across the street from a mall with amenities including a grocery store, restaurants, a bank, etc. The location of the condo is also very good as it's balcony really does have an amazing view of the sunset and gets lovely breezes off Banderas Bay. The beach here is much quieter than at both neighboring properties (Paradise Village and Occidental) which we appreciate very much.

Best view possible. Was on top floor (5)

This unit (top floor) has the BEST view of the BEST beach in the area. Great sunsets right from the balcony! You can walk on the beach for miles. The pools and the grounds are clean and wonderful. The resort is safe and has several pools. The beach has lots of palm leaf umbrellas with chairs and loungers—very comfortable. There is a beach bar with food & drinks. The unit has good furniture for lounging and the king size bed is firm and comfortable. There is adequate storage in the bedroom for clothes, but the dressers are falling apart as are some lampshades and some of the drawers get stuck. The window screens have holes in them, but bugs were not a problem when we were there. The bedroom bathroom smelled bad and we kept the door closed. There was a tub advertised there, but no handle to turn it on. The toilet in the other bathroom didn't flush—the internal parts were rusted and broken (someone used a ribbon to do a temporary fix). Some of the fans in the unit were very noisy and the lights in some didn't work. The kitchen had everything you'd need to prepare nice meals on the four-burner stove. The maid wouldn't replace the dirty dishrags and dishtowels (& dirty glasses) we found on arrival as it was the owner's responsibility. The outdated starfish cupboard handles (in the bedroom, also) stick out about an inch and are dangerous—my wife received a nasty slice. The tap water in the kitchen barely worked (10 seconds to fill a glass; two minutes for the coffee carafe). We didn't leave it on long enough to see if there was hot water. Maybe the repairs were made after we left. There are fading quality mirrors everywhere and some have holes in them. The washing machine was unplugged and had the cord draped over it and some stuff on top of it so it didn't appear to be working. This room had no electricity and obvious some remodeling project going on. The door to the unit is not secure. I could trip the lock with a plastic card. A dead bolt is needed. There is no safe in the unit so we had to always carry our valuables with us. Wireless Internet is advertised and implied throughout the resort, but it's only in the lobby. The Village Mall has several fast food restaurants and a grocer with higher prices and a smaller selection of goods. Go to a big grocer for your week's food. Good restaurants are NOT within walking distance. This unit is not worth the asking price without serious renovation.
