Blue Horizon 705

The apartment was spacious, with a small kitchen where I could make nice meals, and the bed was so comfortable. I slept with the balcony doors open each night, lulled by the waves. The views are spectacular, both pools are immaculately clean, and the gym is very nice. Staff were welcoming and friendly, and the place felt homely. I even got greeted by the resident dog. There’s no direct beach in front of the property because the water is deep, rocky, and has strong currents. The nearby village of Mismaloya is only a few minutes away and has a lovely beach, with plenty of restaurants on and near it. This property is away from the main beaches and downtown Puerta Vallarta, so it’s a good idea to stop at Walmart or Li Supermarket for groceries first. There are only small shops like Oxxo and Kiosko nearby. I didn’t find that a problem, though, because restaurants serve very tasty food. I had a very positive stay and will definitely return soon.

The views are great, the condo was in good condition, and the cleaning staff were very friendly. But nearby there are no stores or restaurants, so bring water and rent a car. I had WiFi problems, and the front desk staff were not helpful at best, with the day staff being rude. Vaca Inc administration also wasn’t helpful.

I booked through VRBO/ Vacasa and had a great time. The views were spectacular, and the ocean sounds nearly drowned out the traffic on Hwy200. I had mosquitoes inside after dark, though, and sliding screen doors would have been ideal for me. I had no odors, timeshare gimmicks, or other problems.

It’s a beautiful place overlooking the ocean and a perfect spot for watching whales. The sales people didn’t do what they promised, though, and the time spent dealing with that could have gone toward enjoying the vacation.
