For many years and this apartment/condo is one of the best decorated and furnished we have stayed in. Additionally, Monika's written instructions and communications while we stayed were good. The building is professionally managed and it's facilities were well maintained. The view of Banderas Bay is wonderful and there's always something to watch: Pelicans, fishing and tourist boats, whales one day, swimmers and sun lovers. ##### Tim & Taryn B. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike S. Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Property with Amazing Views and Beach Access We had a wonderful stay at Monika's condo at Playas Gemelas. The photos of the view do not do it justice - you have an unobstructed view of the Banderas Bay horizon, with Los Arcos to the South and the city's coastline in the distance to the north. We were there at Christmas time and saw whales in the water a few times, just a few hundred yards off the coast! The beach below is accessible to guests, and the property has two large swimming pools and plenty of pool chairs to relax and soak in the sun. You can even rent beach chairs, umbrellas, and anything else you might need for a day on the beach.The condo is well appointed, and has everything you will need for your stay. The full kitchen allows you to cook for yourself if you're so inclined, and there is a small convenience store in the condos next door if you need any essentials. We rented a car for our visit, and there was plenty of parking and 24/7 security throughout the property. If you opt for public transportation, there is a bus stop directly in front of the property with busses passing by every 10 minutes or so (I think). We enjoyed being away from the city, but still within a 15 minute drive to Puerto Vallarta and 10 minutes from some really great restaurants in Mismaloya. We had a very relaxing stay, and hope to stay here again in the future! ##### Mike S.

We had everything we needed and felt right at home.. but it was even better. We are having a hard time sleeping since we got home without being able to hear the waves. Love the balcony and the view most, we spent most of our time there if we weren’t on the beach. Definitely one of our favorite beaches and enjoy the restaurant next door. Monica and Luis are so nice and we plan to head back next year. ##### Michelle M. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darryl D.

Much nicer than photos. We have stayed in numerous units in this complex and this is one of the nicer units. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and sheets. Kitchen well stocked. AC available but wasn’t needed with doors opened and fans. The unit was clean and inviting. The complex sits on one of the nicer beaches in PV and also has 2 pools. The owner was always available to answer questions and would answer within a couple hours. Overall it was a great vacation and definitely would stay here again. ##### Debra B.

Monika's place was simply lovely. First of all, much more spacious than it looks in the pictures and just better in general. The complex itself seems older but in good condition and all the personnel is wonderful. The view from the unit is BREATHTAKING, period. We enjoyed going to bed and waking up to the sound of the waves and it was so relaxing. We enjoyed all our meals at the appartment on the beautiful balcony. The kitchen had absolutely everything you may need. There aren't a lot of stores or restaurants nearby with the exception of a small grocery store at the next development over. They also have a restaurant there, avarage food but great location and views again. Eventhough we enjoy staying right in town and being able to walk everywhere, we thought the views and being right on a beautiful beach more than made up for it. Just make sure to stock up on groceries when you get there. There is AC in the unit but we found the ocean breeze to be enough while we visited in March. Monika was lovely and she responded very quickly whenever we had a question. We'd definitely stay at her place again! ##### Jacqueline G.

Jan 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Week at Playa Gemelas We spent a week at this wonderful property. If you’ve ever been to Playa Gemelas Condominios before, there are four buildings and this condo, in our opinion, is in the best building. The condo is well stocked in the kitchen, and you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas from the condo. Due to covid we cooked pretty much all meals at there and had groceries delivered right when we arrived but there is a small convenience store (cash and credit card) and a nice restaurant (cash only) just at the condos next door. The balcony and view was one of the best features - and while the unit came with air conditioning we never used it. You’ll hear waves crashing every night and the condo is in the perfect location never getting too hot from the sun. We even saw whales one more in the far off distance. The bus is easy (10 pesos!) to catch the bus into town and to Mismaloya to explore. In Mismaloya we rented a small boat to take us snorkeling at Los Arcos. For those that have not been to PV before - we keep coming back to this area because the water is a beautiful crystal blue green and easy to swim. You can snorkel by the rocks and see schools of fish. But this area is in a more remote, quiet relaxing area so if you’re looking for a large, loud party atmosphere this is not the place to go. Monika was extremely responsive and so very helpful. Would definitely recommend this condo and can’t wait to come back to visit! ##### Aileen J.

We enjoyed the apartment- had everything we needed. Plus it’s steps from the beach. The pictures don’t do it justice, the space was great. If we come back to PV we will try to stay here again. It’s about 15 mins from town, easy taxi ride over. The place is quiet during the night. Beach doesn’t get too crowded. The lobby will help reserve chairs and umbrellas. The little side restaurant is great for breakfast or an easy lunch. We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks Monika. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alma R. Mar 17, 2019 #### We had a wonderful time staying at Monika’s condo at playas Gemelas. We highly recommend it! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo. The unit is very modern and lovely. The view of the ocean is fantastic and we saw humpback whales three times. We had a fun adventure and hired someone to take us to the waterfall at Quimixto and lunch at Las Animas at a restaurant called Los Conos. We ordered a seafood platter and it was the best lunch ever. This was our second time at Playas Gemelas and we really like that it is very quiet and mellow. The pools aren’t crowded and the beach is one of the best in Puerto Vallarta. We also had quite a few dinners at the restaurant next door at Girosol. It’s a very nice restaurant under a palapa right on the ocean. The service is great and they have live music three times per week during the high season. They will even deliver to you right on the beach. We highly recommend booking a stay - you will love it.

We were looking for a more updated condo for this trip and we are so happy to have found this unit...it was perfect for my husband and I and had everything that we could have asked for. The views are amazing from the balcony - the beach and pools are our happy place although it is easy to bus into town for a change of scene or south to Boca or Mismaloya. The tienda at the Girasol next door has a very good selection and we love the restaurant & staff there...hopefully most will be back when management changes hands in May. It was so hard to leave on the last day - we felt so at home. We will be back - thank you, Monika! ##### Hans B.

Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcie B., Southwestern Ontario Feb 1, 2018 #### Beautiful condo, beautiful views, super friendly hosts and staff...what more could you want! Monika was great at answering my questions and getting back to me in a timely manner, even though she was off travelling! The condo is exactly as shown and has all the conveniences of home - having a washer and dryer was a great option. The staff are so helpful and friendly and will go out of their way to help you with what you need. Alex was especially kind and helped us arrange an ATV tour - Thank you! The views are spectacular and the weather was perfect..... We saw lots of whales and got to watch skim board competitions each afternoon - the balcony is the perfect spot for morning coffee, to hang out and read, dine etc..... Our vacation could not have been better - Thank you Monika and Luis for sharing your home with us - it was wonderful - you certainly have your little piece of paradise! ##### Marcie B. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason R. Jan 18, 2018 #### After spending a week in the area, I don't think there could be a better place to stay. Monika (owner) was easy to make reservations with, and very helpful with any questions I had before and after we arrived. The condo has everything that you need for an extended stay including a washer, dryer, kitchen and on-site parking. This condo was modern, clean and very nice. The view is spectacular day and night and literally a stone's throw from the water. There are also 2 heated pools, and the beach was very clean. I can't say enough good things about my experience, and I would highly recommend staying there. ##### Jason R.
