Plazamar is located in Zona Romantica, the best location in Old Town Puerto Vallarta on Los Muertos Beach. The malecon starts right outside the door - downtown is a 10 minute walk.

Plazamar is a privately-owned and operated condominium within walking distance of all services; unique restaurants, sidewalk cafes, shops, internet cafes, ATM machines, grocery stores, spas, water activities, gym, etc. There is abundant nightlife within a few blocks, but you'd never know it from inside the condo. It is very quiet and peaceful. The building is on a no-through road so there is no traffic noise either. 24/7 management and security..

Cleaning service is included three times a week unless otherwise specified by the guest. Your tip for our cleaning staff is much appreciated.

Our condo is a recently renovated and tastefully decorated one-bedroom condo with living room, fully-equipped kitchen and balcony offering mountain and ocean views. The bed in the bedroom consists of two single beds pushed together to make one king-size bed, or can be separated to two singles. The balcony and roof top at Plazamar both offer breathtaking views of the ocean and the town. There is a private heated pool on the roof with a BBQ and fridge.

Overlooked the main plaza which was great. Direct access to the beach. We enjoyed Puesta del Sol and our friend Nacho. A terrific guy. Set us up with chairs and loungers every day. Enjoyed all the activity and groups on the beach. Close to the Malcom so we could walk over to el centro and enjoy that scene. Had good food at El Sonorito best Al pastor tacos around!Our pool was beautiful and area was great. Lots of chairs and clean.

Beautiful property with perfect location!

Plaza Mar faces a beautiful park right by Playa de los Muertos. The beach is so inviting and we watched the fireworks off Los Muertos pier from the rooftop pool. Everything about our stay was wonderful. The park is alive with the spirit of Puerto Vallarta.

Ideal Location for Gay Pride Events

We arrived at the unit and were pleased to find it homey, clean and comfortable. The terrace is ideal to overlook the plaza. We felt like we had box seats for the Gay Pride entertainment events and after Gay Pride we enjoyed the terrace for just enjoying the sunset and the opera singer who came out to perform every evening. The bed was comfortable and our third enjoyed sleeping on the sofa. The kitchen is nicely laid out and made meal prep easy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool with bbq

Amazing! Pros vs Cons summary

The building is in a wonderful location to be near the ocean, eventful park, beautiful artwork, and bumpin nightlife. The decor is authentic Mexican and beautiful. It’s not super modern and that’s part of the charm! It is noisy from the balcony, but we were able to sleep with all doors open as the bedroom is in the back of the unit and we don’t mind waking up early. I loved joining the 8am Zumba class right below in the park. It’s a great spot for people watching at all hours! Lots of restaurants, coffee, shopping, etc nearby. The Saturday Market in the park is busy! The front office staff were friendly and helpful. They are there 24/7 and make a point to be familiar with you. There was some discrepancies between the owner and front desk’s information (i.e. if letter can be digital or printed, cleaning schedule, deposit for key, and recommended tips, etc) but none of those things are major and were easily workable! If I was asked what is a simple matter that could help improve our stay- I’d suggest replacing the towels and linens. The towels are stained and very old, as well as the sheets are stained. They are clean, just in very used condition. The towels were not replaced after the first clean (day 3) but the housekeeping quickly fixed that. The shower does drain slow and the pipes are old and rattling but the pressure is wonderful! We noticed the bedroom safe was without directions so we emailed the owner who replied it needs replaced. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons!

10 days in the sun

Comfortable, but needs updating. A few tiles missing from kitchen counter and the cushions on the couches in living room need to be thicker, rather uncomfortable. Has a problem with ants, even though the apt was sprayed the second day we arrived. There are positives- great shower and lovely rooftop terrace. The gentlemen manning the front desk are very helpful and pleasant. Location is great, too.

Unbeatable location!

I love this location and the proximity to the beaches, clubs, Malecone, restaurants, shops etc. The desk staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Quiet neighbouring occupants during my stay; there is negligible noise from the square/street... but to me that is alluring and not unreasonable given the area (bedroom is away from the street, so really only heard noise when in living/dining area). Internet TV and AC were in great working order during my stay. Pool, overall facilities and the unit were clean and functional except for the room safe which did not get repaired during my stay despite 2 requests (could not get lock bolts to retract to allow to to close/lock). Otherwise, the equipment by the owner are adequate and functional. Bed was quite comfy!! If I’m being really critical, and as such my 4/5 star overall ranking, the soft goods (curtains, cushions, pillows, towels, bed linens) were just OK, and could all use a good upgrade sooner rather than later. Still, I’d certainly recommend and stay again.

I love PV. I’ve been going for 20 years. I’ve stayed in almost every building on Los Muertos. There was no cable or internet for my entire stay. Others in the building had it without any issues. This was my second stay in this unit without internet, and sadly my last.

Plazamar Condos

We have always stayed at an all inclusive resort when travelling but this year we decided to try staying in a condo to see if we liked it. We stayed at the Plazamar Condos for 10 days and absolutely loved it! We wont stay in an all inclusive again and would like to stay at Plazamar when we come back to Puerto Vallarta. The staff are wonderful and friendly as well as the guests we met there. I highly recommend Plazamar
