The BVG is a great place to stay in Ixtapa! Very close to the center of activity - many excellent restaurants close by. The palapa at the BVG has great breakfast and lunch options and the staff is top notch! The property is exceptionally maintained on the common areas, pools, etc are spotless! If I could give 10 stars I would. We have been to BVG twice and are planning the next one already!

We have stayed in a number of HomeAway or VRBO locations around the world and I have always trusted the honest reviews of those who have stayed there when we make our selection. Let me tell you that if you decide to stay at this location and in this beautiful spacious condo, you will be so very glad you did. First of all, dealing with the owners is "a breeze" - they are so prompt and accommodating with any questions, you will realize right away that these are amazing owners. I can't thank them enough for their kind and gracious manner. Secondly, the unit itself is so perfectly located and well appointed. We were there for a month and had a few guests over the month and it is so wonderful to have 3 bedrooms and separate bathrooms for each bedroom. There are ample towels for inside the unit, as well as towels for the gorgeous pool area. The kitchen has a good supply of items and we had great breakfasts on the large balcony every morning overlooking the pool and the ocean. You can't beat this unit for gorgeous sunsets as well. The beach is absolutely amazing and provides for an interesting an invigorating walk if you go from one end to the other. You can certainly swim in the ocean, but do watch out for the flags indicating the safety level of the waves. There are certainly activities available right outside the complex on the beach including parasailing, banana boats, jet skis, volleyball, and massages. Thirdly, the Bayview Grand Residential is probably one of the most beautiful buildings along the beach in Ixtapa. Security is excellent for the entire gated complex and the service at the front desk and around the pool area throughout the day is exemplary. The grounds are constantly being maintained and groomed as well. The front desk will get you a cab or they are so easily hailed just outside the main gates. As for Ixtapa itself, we have been here three times before and it is certainly a quaint and safe place to walk around during the day and evening. There are so many lovely and casual restaurants within easy walking distance from the Bay View and if you want to do some major shopping, an 80 peso cab ride will get you into Zihuatanejo. A 50 peso cab ride gets you to the Marina. (It's easy to get a cab back as well.) Overall, we can't wait to come back to this beautiful complex, spacious condo, and gorgeous location.

The Bay View Grand Residence is perfectly relocated in thw center of Ixtapa. We walked to many nearby restaurants every night. The unit itself was very well stocked and was perfect for my family of six. Thank you Jim and Molly. We had a fabulous stay in your home away from home.

The Bay View property and facilities were great. The two pools were lovely and the bar staff was amazing (great drinks). There is a nice beach areas with palapas that you can reserve. The location was great and walking distance to the centre with plenty of restaurants. The unit had a great balcony to watch the sunset on. However, the condo itself was quite run down and the photos of the property on the listing were very out of date. We had issues getting into the condo and had to sit on the sidewalk with our luggage for 30 minutes while it was sorted with the property manager - the owners were not answering the phone or emails during this time to help with the process. Arriving to the condo, the keypad entry was broken and we were only given one key (for a 3 bedroom property with several guests, you would think we would have more than one key). The property managers did end up getting additional keys cut, however this took a few days. The water was not turned on in the condo when we arrived, there was a toilet seat and shower head broken off in one of the bathrooms, the blinds fell off when we tried to open them in the master bedroom, the safe was not working and the bed sheets in one bedroom were very stained and gross. The property manager (Martin) worked with us to get these issues resolved but it took several days. The pots and pans in the kitchen were very warn and difficult to cook with. The condo did not supply any basic items (toilet paper, garbage bags, dish soap, bar soap, kleenex, etc). Again, the property is great. However this is more of a three star condo in a four star facility.
