You cannot get any better than this condo in this location. Waterfront. Unbelievable views! Great comfortable condo with great bed/bath rooms all with great views. Hours spent lounging on the deck looking at whales, boats, and town. Fantastic facilities and amenities. Uncrowded beach and pool. 5 minutes from airport. Walk across the street to the marina or taxi into town. Poolside cafe for food and drinks. This is the spot!

Beautiful condo with an excellent view. Convenient location is very close to everything marina-oriented. Pools and beach are beautiful and close. This property was just as described and was, for the most part, accessible to someone in a wheelchair (beds were too high). We didn't use the maid service much, but when she was there, she was very accommodating and unobtrusive. Will definitely stay again.

When we first looked at condos to rent 7 years ago, we instantly fell in love with Shangri La. Incredible luxury, wonderful views and beautifully maintained grounds. It’s right across from the marina and 20 minutes from Puerto Vallarta center, a great location. The best part is Atousa’s penthouse. We’ve rented it for 4 years now, and each time it’s like coming home. The condo is beautifully decorated and maintained. It has everything you need to feel at home. Every convenience is there! We are always welcomed by Atousa’s team Marcos and Aurora. Marcos is very attentive to any need and Aurora is a great housekeeper! Any problem is taken care of immediately. We love listening to the waves at night- it’s very relaxing. My favorite place is the balcony with its magnificent views of the grounds, pool, beach, and the bay. It can take your breath away. There’s always one more look from the balcony before we tear ourselves away. We love it! It’s magical!

For the past five years, nine siblings have been thoroughly enjoying this two floor magnificent Penthouse Condo. From the moment your private elevator door opens, you are transported to a new world, which includes a stunning panoramic ocean view. This spacious condo is tastefully decorated. Aurora & Marco are there to greet you with Margaitas, chips, and homemade guacamole. This is a secure, gated community, less than five minutes from Airport. On-site restaurant with poolside and room service. The Ocean is a mere 50 feet from private pool. You can walk two blocks to the Marina restaurants/shops, or catch the bus for a twenty minute ride to downtown Puerto Vallarta, where you will find local artists on the Malecon, restaurants and shopping. This condo has a well stocked kitchen for in home cooking; or you may have Aurora work her magic by cooking for you. She loves exchanging Spanish/English lessons. Aurora also cleans as often as you prefer. Washer/dryer in condo. Once you stay here, the question is not, will I come back? It is, how can I extend the stay next year!!

Our Family spent eight wonderful days at Atousa's penthouse and enjoyed every minute of our time there. We were greeted by Marcus upon our arrival on Thursday October 23, 2014. This was our second stay for my wife and I but the first for our children and grandchildren so we were reasonably familiar with the unit and the Shrangi-La complex. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful; they went out of their way to ensure that we were well taken care of. From the security people at the front gate to the security people in our building they recognized us and greeted us each time we arrived. The gentlemen at the pool - Pedro and Daniel - were so nice to our entire family but especially to our grandchildren, we cannot thank them enough!! The lady that maintained the unit, Aurora was excellent! She brought my wife flowers and prepared a very special seafood salad when our children arrived a few days after we did. Everything about this penthouse is beyond expectation! We will return as often as we can! To all the staff at the Shrangi-La we want to say "Mucho Gracias"!!!!!

This is a great place to vacation, very spacious and beatifully furnished. All the bedrooms are facing the ocean, wonderful way to wake up in the morning, beautiful sunsets in the evening. Lots of restaurants located in the Marina which is a very short walk, we went to Victor's several morning for breakfast. The neighbors we met were all very friendly, the pool is a very social place, meet lots of nice people. I would difinitely recommend this place.

Every aspect of our stay in this condo, and at the Shangri-La property, met or exceeded our expectations. The owner was responsive and easy to deal with throughout, the property manager welcomed us with Margaritas and home made guacamole and chips, the condo was impeccably decorated and maintained, the maid was friendly and helpful, and the views of the Puerto Vallarta bay were spectacular. Overall, there was plenty of space for our two families (twelve in total) to get comfortable and relax, and we highly recommend this condo to others.

Myself & four girlfriends stayed here in the Shangra La Penthouse and had a fabulous time! We were welcomed by Viviana and the housekeeper who had prepared margaritas & home made sala & guacamole. DELICIOUS!! The view is to die for. We spent many hours sitting on the deck watching everything from cruise ships coming in & out to thunder & lightening in the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed the spaciousness of the condo. Everyone had their own space for some quiet time if needed. Also since several of us enjoy cooking, the kitchen was perfect for preparing some great Mexican meals! Loved the decor & artwork too. We tried to think of names for the two senoras in the dining room picture since they were always there smiling at us. A big thank you to Atousa for making the condo rental process very easy & having quick answers to all my questions!

We spent a wonderful week at the Shangri-la in Marina Vallarta which is just a short 10 minute ride from the airport. Once you land and collect your bags you are literally minutes from stepping into your gorgeous penthouse. From the minute we stepped out of our private elevator into the living area with it's breathtaking view of the ocean and PV in the distance we were hooked! The accommodations are perfect for a large group, plenty of room for everyone and then some. The property is clean and well maintained and the pool is one of the largest I have ever seen and right on the beach. Everyone including the property manager, the pool boys, the security guards and cleaning people were so incredibly friendly and helpful. The owner, Atousa, is so nice, accommodating and pleasant to work with. We hadn't been to Mexico for quite some time and had a zillion questions which she always responded to in a timely manner. Anything and everything you could possibly want or need is available. There's a Costco, a Walmart and a large grocery store nearby. We enjoyed gathering on the spacious deck every morning with our coffee to plan our day. The deck, with it's incredible view was the perfect beginning and ending to each day. PV is only a short 10 minute cab ride away. There are many activities including golf, para sailing, jet skiing, zip lining (Los Veranos Canopy Tours-the best!) etc available. Everyone we encountered on our trip from Old Town PV to the small towns and resorts we ventured out to up the coast were so friendly and welcoming. If you've had any reservations about going to Mexico due to all of the bad press, don't worry! PV and the areas north going up the coast are SAFE! If you have the time, hire a driver, which is what we did, or rent a car and venture up the Nayarit coast and stop at the small towns and resorts. We had lunch at the Four Seasons which is lovely, shopped in the boho chic town of Sayulita which has lots and lots of great shops and a wonderful little beach. While we were driving through Punta Mita we encountered a man carrying a freshly caught whole red snapper, we immediately started thinking 'dinner!' Our driver had a cooler so he negotiated a price for us and had our 17 lb fish cleaned and filleted. We brought it back to the penthouse where we made fresh ceviche, guacamole & salsa and then BBQ'D several filets on the gas grill. Doesn't get much better than that! A great place to spend your vacation with family and friends!

Pictures and words just do not do this incredible property justice. It was WOW! Way more than we could've imagined. I just can't say enough about this clean, spacious, modern, luxurious accomodation, The outside pool is humongous. The beach is close. Our family of 12 had acres of room indoors.It is well worth the money. The owner is great to work with. I've never stayed in a better place. My only regrets about bragging about this place are for selfish reasons. I don't want to share this paradise with others because I want it to be available when we go back again.

We just returned from a blissful week in PV. The condo was everything that we expected, and more. The view as we stepped off the elevator for the first time was breathtaking! The condo is so spacious even our party of 12 had plenty of space to stretch out and have down time when we came in from the pool and beach. Erica and Tomas were so accommodating and made us feel so comfortable. We came to PV to spend a week with good friends and our kids before starting a new school year and the accommodations, and the city lived up to all of our expectations! Hope to visit again soon!

From the beginning this experience was fantastic and easy. Once the doors opened to the penthouse elevator, we were in heaven. WHAT A VIEW!!!!! We were a family party of 12 (6-50ish yrs of age) all wanting something different and in the end pleased with all we received. The location was GREAT/clean/safe with an excellent pool and attentive/friendly/fun property staff. Reina, the housekeeper, was just fantastic/discreet/quiet and simply awesome with the kids. She came thru with everything we asked for we just gave her a tip for going beyond of what was expected of her. She loves to cook by the way and is excellent at it. The penthouse was beautiful and very well maintained/comfortable with gorgeous views. Amenities (Walmart,Costco, groceries, restaurant, OXXO, Starbucks, etc) were a short distance and transportation (taxi/buses) rt outside the front of the property. The owner is also simply one of the the nicest and easiest persons to communicate with. What she promises is what you will get. We all truly highly recommened this property. The pics do not do it justice. It is sooooo much more. Thank you for the wonderful memories Atousa. We left some pool toys for future guests to enjoy. We already miss "our" vacation home. PS: The one thing we would recommend is an actual large party toaster

What a wonderful trip! Once in a lifetime to get our large family of 10 together at one time, the penthouse is beyond description - really magical. Our family with children ages 4-17 had a simply wonderful time, spent hours on the panoramic outside deck - the younger children simply on the lounge chair cushions in a makeshift fort, faces against the glass watching the cruise ships come in. They just adored that! We swam at the pool every day for hours and hours, had wonderful food at the poolside restaurant, played on the beautiful beach with the kids everyday (there are rock crabs on the rocks along side the beach area the kids loved to harass), went parasailing and, yes, even went on the banana boat - all activities were quickly and professionally set up for our convenience. The pictures on VRBO do not do this condo justice, truly a once in a lifetime accommodation for a perfect trip! Oh, I have to also mention, as a mother and having a bunch of kids with us, the wonderful maid and cook Reina, was a blessing for us. She had our condo squeaky clean each and every day (not easy with 6 children..) and she was so kind to us! Wonderful food she made and LOVED her margaritas...:) Reina alone in a shack would have been heaven... but best of all?? Our wonderful family, and really being able to enjoy our time together! Cannot say enough about this place, so I will stop. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home Atousa! Few things that we did that we would HIGHLY recommend for people visiting PV: We had a magical experience whale watching with Ocean Friendly Tours - small boat, permit to go close to whales, went out with PhD students studying whales. We saw many whales very close and 3 babies, one of which breeched?? (jumped) several times. Another activity that is a MUST is Puerto Vallarta Adventures Outdoor Adventures. For the 12+ adventure seekers, very professional, mule riding, repelling, 9 zips, gorgeous scenery, very adventurous!! Have fun in PV!

This condo was the nicest accommodation I've ever had while on a vacation. I highly recommend paying extra for the maid, Rena. She was FANTASTIC. We also fell in love with Raoul, the doorman. You won't be sorry if you choose this penthouse!

Our extended family of eight LOVED this beautiful penthouse. The rooms are gorgeous, the deck is amazing and we loved the location. Easy walking sitance to restaurants and activities and a short cab ride to town. We would definitely return to this spot. The pool is beautiful and not crowded and the beach is expansive. Everything was great.
