Hi Jeff,

Thank you for recommending Plaza Mar 501.  You can’t beat the location on the beach in Old Towne.  Our plane touched down in PV just after 4 pm and by 5:15 pm we were checked in, changed and sitting on the beach in front of the condo enjoying our first cold cervaeza waiting for our first sunset!  Everything we needed was within a few blocks including a good supermarket, a fresh seafood stall (prawns 120 pesos/kg), and all the bars and restaurants a person would ever need to choose from.  The condo was very comfortable and we loved the bright colours, Mexican decor and art.  Sitting on the balcony by candlelight with a glass of wine and listening to nearby music with the sound of the waves lapping against the shore was peaceful and just what we needed to start our vacation.  With both the front door and patio doors open (and having the security of locking the wrought iron gates at the front door) kept a beautiful sea breeze flowing through the condo (no cold air conditioning was necessary).  We appreciated the staff who work at the front desk 24/7 to buzz you into the complex and answer any questions you might have.  The rooftop deck/pool/BBQ was an added bonus and a wonderful place to start and end the day, waiting for your laundry and enjoying the incredible water, town and mountain views.  We had it to ourselves both days of our stay and will definitely stay at Plaza Mar 501 the next time we are in Puerto Vallarta.
