We had a wonderful stay at Penthouse Albatross. The location is perfect; right on the beach with amazing sunrises and sunsets every day. Walking distance to good restaurants and to Mary Paz’s market (anything you need, you'll find at Mary Paz’s). Only 20 minutes from PVR airport, and 20 minutes to the Romantic Zone in downtown Puerto Vallarta. The home is traditional Vallarta style, which we love, and was everything we could have wanted. The longtime manager, Jorge, couldn't have been any more helpful and courteous. He gave us great advice on places to go and banmk locations to change money at the best rates. The house maid is unobtrusive but very helpful when you do seek them out. We're already looking at booking again for next year.

I have to agree with the previous comments. Make the Casas Dolce Vita your gateway to Bucerias. The pool is kept sparkling. The landscaping neatly groomed and housekeeping by Esmeralda is immaculate. You will never have to worry about your personal property. Laying by the pool during the day and reading a book is totally relaxing. The sound of the surf breaking and singing of the birds tells you, you have arrived in paradise. In the morning go for a walk and explore the street vendors just south of the town center. This is the time to take look what everyone has to offer. Many vendors have the same items and prices can vary. Take notes, who has what for how much. Most the vendors shut down around 4 PM. If it has been a slow day, prices later in the afternoon will drop for a quick sale. Are you around the Town Center during lunch - food vendors offer a great assortment. My favorite is usually parked on the east side of the square and offers fresh tacos. BBQ Marlin or prawns (camerons) are incredible for just $15 pesos each. In the afternoon - get the BBQ going. Talk with your neighbor. Share the BBQ and merge your meals. This is a wonderful way to make new friends. After sunset make sure you have bug spray to apply to exposed skin. In fact it is not a bad idea to spray before going on walks. Just another warning about bugs - inside or out - if you spill something, clean it up now. Don't leave it for the maid. Tiny sugar ants are everywhere. They send out scouts and if they find just one crumb, an army will return. Geckos also appear just about anywhere. If you find one inside, don't hurt it. They are the best defense against other undesirable critters. For the local night life check out the newly remodeled Shamrock Irish Pub with your hosts Sharon and Jesse, or for great dancing La Pachanga or the Drunkin Duck with Courtney behind or on top of the bar. For the sports enthusiast check out Yo Yo Mo's across the street.

This a great property! Unlike most things in Mexico everything worked the property is well appointed. The location is 5 star you walk out of your gate and the only decision you need to make is do we go right or left today.Susana the housekeeper is simply amazing... And Jorge the property manager was more then helpful. We would certainly return to Casa Dolce!!
