Such a beautiful spot to spend our 23rd Anniversary. Mason and Anne Marie were so helpful and were always very quick to respond to our questions and even checked in with us to ensure everything was ok.
The condo was exactly as described and they actually have upgraded the fridge to a full size one which was a huge bonus. The condo is very roomy and the view is spectacular. You have a beautiful view of 2 beaches on either side of Girasol Sur.
Take the bus to town or South to Mismaloya/Boca for only 10 pesos each. We only used Pesos while we were there, we had exchanged money at home before w left and then went to the HSBC ATM in Old Town PV to take some more out.
Trip ideas/Tips:
-Do the Vallarta Eats tour! We took a walking untouristed taco tour in PV and had an amazing time, got to experience/taste authentic Mexican food at taco stands/restaurants that have been in families for generations. Do not eat before you go, you will not be disappointed!
-Go to Mismaloya and look for Samuel and his Dad- rent a Pango (boat) for the day. They took us out for approx. 6.5 hrs...a beautiful way to see the coastline and access places/beaches that are only boat accessible. We went south to Yelapa, snorkeled in a private little bay, and rode around Los Arcos on the way back. We paid $50 US per person, how can you beat that?
-PV has Uber! This was so convenient and never had to wait very long for one. This was a nice option when you wanted air conditioning and was a great way to practice some of our Spanish :-). I'd say we averaged paying approx. 120 pesos from the condo to Old Town (approx. $8 US). Otherwise the bus was also a great way to get around.
-Yes, vendors will always approach you, even if you're at a restaurant outside...but just be polite and say No Gracias if you're not interested, they would respect that and move on.
We will definately be back and look forward to staying at Mason/Anne Marie's beautiful spot, thanks for sharing it with us!!
