Paradise!
We spent 2 full weeks and wish we didn’t have to leave. This place is absolutely perfect for us. The top floor penthouse and balcony overlooking the ocean is spectacular. We used the place to the fullest. The kitchen is fully stocked and we made two big trips to the grocery store to take advantage of this. The living room is comfortable and the master bedroom is amazing - sleeping to the sound of waves and waking to the view without even getting out of bed. Many of the people in the complex are full timers or regular returnees spending months at a time here. And they were very friendly and engaging. They even invited us to participate in water aerobics! And the beach, WOW. Clean as you will ever find a beach. We saw whales, rays, fish, turtles, dolphins, etc. . . All from the balcony and from the beach. Great restaurant next door and food service from the same on the beach. Bus stop is right there and easy to get to town or the other way towards Mismayola - taxi’s right there as well. This place is quiet and wonderful! Thank you for having us!

Perfect place to escape the winter weather
A beautiful condo overlooking the Pacific. Every amenity is included, even humpback whales passing by during morning coffee and afternoon margaritas. Can’t wait for a return visit.

If it isn't whale or turtle season, it is always margarita season. Thanks for staying and come back soon.

Amazing views!
We loved the views from the penthouse condo on the beach! The beach was very clean and the water was so warm. It’s not a beach that goes on and on for walking, which I kind of missed as I’m a walker. But it was a reasonably priced condo and clean, and well equipped kitchen. The bed was sooo comfortable! Ken was a great communicator before and during our stay. The location was good too as we went to town and Mismaloya way as well for activities. Cheap taxi or Uber and we took the bus several times too. We enjoyed our stay!

Amazing views!!
Views from balcony were outstanding! Saw rays, humpbacks, sea snakes and a turtle! Condo was very clean and beds were comfortable. Pool and beach area fabulous. In a great, quiet location with easy bus access. Looking forward to visiting again.

Thank you for staying. The views are very hard to beat. I'm guessing that you saw needle fish since there are tons of them. We have never seen sea snakes but anything is possible. Come back any time.

Great Penthouse
We have stayed at Playas Gemelas several times in different condos, this was our first time in this Penthouse and we absolutely loved it! The view of course is amazing, it was very clean and comfortable. It has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The owner Ken was great with communication and the whole process was super easy. We will definitely be returning. Mirna

Great escape!
Girlfriends and I were looking for an inexpensive way to enjoy some sun, sand and sea therapy and this fit the bill perfectly! I loved being a bit out of town (just an $8 cab ride in) and getting to walk just steps to the beach! The owner was very easy to communicate with and quite helpful with all the questions I had. All the staff we encountered were also extremely friendly and helpful. If you are looking for frills and bells and whistles, this is not the place for you. But for a spacious, relaxing spot at a very affordable price, it's perfect!

Best Location
This location delivered! It is a scenic and relaxing view from the penthouse deck. We saw whales, dolphins, stingrays and sardinias anytime of the day or evening. Lots of locals on the beach on the weekend gave us a glimpse of the local culture. We would come again.

The property was as described in VRBO.
The Property Manager, KEN, was very helpful. Ken contacted us to see how everything was going, 2 blankets were waiting for us from Amazon in case we were cold, the sundries were well stocked. The Playa Gemelas staff was friendly,helpful and always smiling. As the facility is primarily occupied by the owners we often were the only ones at the pool or shared by a few others. Given the opportunity we will stay in this Condo in Playa Gemelas again. Thanks Ken for sharing your Condo with us.

Paradise !
This condo was great! Clean and well-equipped. Beds were very comfortable. Perfect location. Super easy to get downtown on the bus from the bus stop right across the street. There is also a taxi stand right out front if that is your preference. The private beach was terrific! Beach chairs/umbrellas/tables available for rent or you can just throw down your towel and relax! The complex was very well maintained and the staff was super helpful. Real easy to get to a grocery store and grab basics for the condo. Laundry room conveniently located right next to the office. We have been visiting Puerto Vallarta for 17 years and this is one of the nicer places we’ve stayed. Communication with the owner was superb. Would absolutely stay here again!! Thank you, Ken, for sharing your beautiful home with us to enjoy!!

Thank you for the great review. You are welcome back any time. Just for clarification, the beach is technically public. There have been many times that we have had to it ourselves though. It does feel like a private beach sometimes.

Penthouse escape on a quiet beach
This condo is in a quiet location with a beautiful sandy beach. The view from the balcony is stunning, of both the ocean and the pool. The condo is exactly as described and the pictures are accurate. I actually took 2 of my own that are identical as in the ad! The check in was easy, staff very helpful and accommodating. The penthouse unit is very clean and well stocked. The host provided written recommendations for activities, restaurants, etc. which were very helpful for our first visit to PV. We would highly recommend this unit and will definitely return!
