"We enjoyed our stay at Girasol. The property is older but has that Mexican charm that we love. The views from the balcony are excellent. You can view the pool and also both beaches beside the property..."

About this apartment rental

Our condo is in an exceptional location: beach, 180° ocean and beach view, no crowds and no traffic noise. Hop on the bus at the stop right out front, in 15 min you are in Old Town Puerto Vallarta!

So book now before someone else takes the days you want, or to stay a month or two. Let us know if you have questions.

We purchased our unit having ensured all the essentials - friendly English-speaking staff 24/7, elevators, A/C, the sound of the waves... and did I mention the 180° view! The unit is perfect for two but also has a trundle bed that can accommodate two more as well. And did I mention the view!? We think this is one of the best views in all of Puerto Vallarta! It is breathtaking to gaze out across the bay while relaxing on the balcony at any time of day and to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening while watching the sun set.

From the balcony or the ocean-side restaurant near the pool, you can watch diving pelicans, crashing and gently splashing waves and enjoy romantic sunsets. You can swim in the heated pool or at one of the best beaches in Puerto Vallarta, Playa las Gemelas with gated access from Girasol Sur, and regardless of the time of day, there is never any traffic noise. The long sandy beach is ideal for a daytime or evening stroll and despite being a public beach it is never crowded.

If your ideal vacation is “doing nothing” in a gorgeous place with Mexican architecture, Girasol Sur is it. You don’t need to go anywhere. There is a small grocery store off the lobby that has most everything you may need. There are also bakeries, meat and grocery type stores in Old Town, just ask. And a laundromat is available (sign up for a time at the front desk). The kitchenette offers a stove top and convection oven, full size refrigerator, microwave, an electric coffee pot and an electric teakettle.

But if you don’t feel like cooking, the on-site Girasol Sur Restaurant with its panoramic terrace overlooks the ocean and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner (good food and good prices). People come from surrounding condo buildings to eat here also. If you check on-line, you’ll see that the restaurant has gotten good reviews. Remember to make a reservation at the front desk to ensure a table. Be advised that they only accept cash.

On the other hand, if you want to experience Puerto Vallarta’s fiestas, culture, shops and great food, catch the bus to Old Town where the bus stops on the main street for restaurants, shops and the beach. Catch the bus back at the same place you got off, tell the driver “Girasol sur” and then exit the bus in front of Girasol Sur. Or, if you prefer, take a taxi…or Uber which is also a great way to get to and from the airport (check at the information desk when you arrive.) Uber is about half the cost of a taxi…unless it’s raining, when taking a taxi is a usually a better deal. You can also take the bus south to dine in Mismaloya or Boca, but we haven’t tried that yet.

When looking for a great place to stay on your vacation or winter getaway, consider Girasol Sur...views from balcony, swimming, snorkeling or surfing without traveling anywhere, poolside bar and restaurant, elevators, an easy trip to Old Town by bus or Uber, and no need for a car (though there is ample no charge parking on-site). It is really an idea spot.

What are you waiting for? Let us know if you have questions BUT, make your reservation ASAP before someone else books your dates!

Reasons to choose to stay at Girasol Sur:
180° view of the bay and PV skyline to the north
Beautifully tended grounds
Studio and balcony ocean view to watch sunsets & seabirds
Winter “critter-watch” — whales & dolphins return to our bay
Evening and nighttime admire the magic of the illuminated bay & PV skyline
Enjoy happy hour (offered every day) at the swim-up bar or get a table for wine and hors d’oeuvres before dinner
Swim in the clean, clear water, or walk the wide sandy beach or along the clear water’s edge
Use the pool heated, relax on one of the chaise lounges on the broad terrace, or sit at one of the tables to play one of your travel games - checkers, bridge or…
Bus or cab to Vallarta Botanic Garden with its magnificent collection of orchids and tropical plants…have lunch on the veranda in a spectacular setting..
If you are not aware of “Estero de El Salado”, (El Slado estuary) located just south of the airport, it is worth a trip “up north”. Do an internet search to get details and make reservations, which are required.
Gated access to one of PV’s most beautiful beaches
Find plenty to do in Old Town Vallarta: cabaret shows, jazz clubs, local theater, cinemas, art galleries, sports bars, wonderful restaurants, a variety of food and various shops and more.
A number of golf courses in PV)… rather expensive, I understand, including one next to the estuary
Washer/dryer available one floor below us. We are a member of the laundry club. A key comes with the room keys (provide your own liquid detergent)
Library / meeting room: Free books free access
Maid service available - $20US for general cleaning plus changing bed linen.
A porter to help carry your luggage…please tip for this service
Open parking at the entrance
AND did I mention the view?! We hope to hear from you soon.

We enjoyed our stay at Girasol. The property is older but has that Mexican charm that we love. The views from the balcony are excellent. You can view the pool and also both beaches beside the property. Sunsets are perfect from the room and the balcony as well. I would recommend the host get rid of the old chairs off the balcony and have those replaced. A few hundred bucks would go a long way there to make the balcony experience more enjoyable. .The property sits next to Playa Gemelas which is the best beach in Puerto Vallarta in my opinion. Thank you for the stay!

Wonderful place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of PV, but easy to take the bus into town when desired. Take a taxi back to the condo. The place is a bit tired and could use a little TLC, but it is very clean and the view is incredible. Taking the bus down to Mismaloya is nice as well, very easy to take a taxi back to the condo.

Karen our host was very welcoming and had great communication. The condo is functional and comfortable but needs a little decluttering, care and updating. The restaurant, bar and pool are wonderful. Checkin was quick and easy and all the staff super friendly. The view, as all have mentioned, is the highlight. Best sunset we’ve ever seen and whale sightings galore. A great stay
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
The room was very cute as seen in the pictures. However in the paperwork it said that there is a water dispenser for a large water jug, there was not. Inside the cupboards there was old food and spices and with lots of little flies in our room.The patio was not set up for use. The table out there must have a broken top because it was wrapped in kitchen plastic wrap and there was a pile of paint peeling chairs in the corner.Girasol Sur was a beautiful location, beaches amazing and pool area was perfect. The restaurant had good food and we quite enjoyed everyone who worked there.We went with two other couples who rented from a different owner. Their units were renovated beautifully. They were set up nicely for guests with water dispensers and even ice makers.Karen is an excellent host. My main suggestions would be to get rid of the clutter on the patio so it can be enjoyed with nice chairs and a usable table. A water dispenser is a must and an ice maker would be amazing. One other little thing would be a toaster. We borrowed one from the other room as they had two. Thank you for the use of your condo!
