4 of us (retirees) stayed for 4 weeks in Feb. 2018. The Gran Pacifico's pool, security, staff, grounds, location to restaurants, groceries, banks, transit are exceptional. People were very friendly. The views from this condo are beautiful. The owner answered any questions we had quickly while we were there. Front desk staff are very helpful and accommodating. The kitchen was well supplied with pots, pans, dishes, glasses, blender, bullet, coffee maker, kettle, cutlery, spices - everything you need. The fridge is new and large. All the bathrooms and showers were great with large rain shower heads and plenty of hot water. The middle floor bedrooms were nicely done with new tile floors and very clean. The upper floor master bedroom mattress was like a thick foamy covered with a fabric covering - too low and too soft for us. The other beds were good. The surf sound was pounding, not lulling, and at times at night you could feel the building actually shake. You don't hear it so much in the mid flloor bedrooms. The main part of the MBr floor was a bamboo wood which had split and lifted due to humidity. Needs to be replaced, as does the laminate flooring and baseboards on the main floor. (A breeding ground for bugs). I believe the owners will be doing this as they have boxes of tiles in one of the closets. The patio door and screens in it on main floor are awkward and don't work well and we choose to leave them closed rather than fight with them, however the owner advised they will be replacing the door and screens. Overall the condo was comfortable and with a pool like this one and the sand and ocean steps away there is no way one can't have a fabulous vacation at this complex.

The condo is in a perfect location both within the complex and within town. First within the complex you are near the stairs so have easy access to the beach and the pool. The whole complex is located in the perfect place in town for eating and shopping. So many great restaurants within walking distance or a short cab ride away. The condo itself is a bit older and some updates have been done and as I could see the owner are upgrading things a little as the go along. This I knew before we went so it was not a surprise and the price of the condo reflects that you are not renting a new modern looking condo. I enjoyed its charm and it is kept up and clean. The view from the top master deck is probably the best part of the condo and makes the daily climb worthwhile also reduces the guilt of the extra calories from the vacation food and drink going up and down the stairs a few extra times a day. The staff at the front desk is friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was great. The condo was perfect for our 2 boys and daughter, hubby and I. We have a rental condo in Orlando and have realistic expectations when staying in someone else's place, especially on the ocean. Everything worked well in the condo- shades, fridge, water cooler and we loved sitting on the third floor patio to watch the sun rise every morning with our coffee. There were plenty of plates, cups, cutlery and storage containers- it seems like we can never have enough of those when traveling with a family of five! The staff was amazing- check in was easy, the keys worked great, our kids got to practice their Spanish when asking for the "la mesa de futbol"- absolutely not the Spanish word for foosball, but they got the message across. The house cleaner came twice and loved seeing the kids, asking if it was ok for her to stay and clean. I tipped her $20 pesos each time and she seemed genuinely grateful (I never know how much to tip in these cases bc it is so different in the States). The complex was wonderful. We played tennis and swam in the pool everyday. We walked the beach and the kids jumped in the water down the way bc when they went to the water at the complex, the guards waved them out. I appreciate their concern for the kids' safety, there is quite an undertow. We did go to Miramar Beach our last day (only 12 minutes away) and the waves were much more user friendly. Your binder was a great asset and Chris and I had an amazing dinner at Puerto Viejo. We had thought about going snorkeling, but decided to go the more relaxing route and stay put at the resort. There was a great mix of Americans, Canadians and Mexicans and everyone was super family friendly and well behaved (kids and adults alike). The bar was open every afternoon with a good selection of bar food: guac, fries, nachos, hamburgers, club sandwiches. Having Soriana so close was amazing and we cooked most meals in. We had a wonderful time and would love to stay in your place again. (PS- There is a night life- we met up with 20/30 somethings and hit one of the clubs and danced the night away, well I did, Chris stayed back with the kids. Maybe we'll get a sitter next time. :) -- Anne Marie, Chris, Colin, Ellie and Patrick

I have stayed in several units in this complex, this one did not Disappoint. The unit was in great condition and the views were awesome! We have stayed in other hotels and condos, including some all-inclusive resorts in Manzanillo but this is our favorite and we highly recommend it.

Stayed 3 weeks in Villa 223. The property is extremely well managed and clean. The villa is well equipped and comfortable. Beware of the stairs though. My son said it was like living in a treehouse.

The condo could use a little updating, but is a beautiful place to stay in Manzanillo. Beach views from every floor, the top floor terrace as nice as one could want. Located within walking distance to restaurants and groceries. Manzanillo isn't Puerto Vallarta, but that's part of the point of going--the beaches, restaurants, activities are not crowded at all. We went directly to a table every time, every place. Did I mention the pool? Really--Wow. The front desk is very attentive, the parking underground secure, and our almost 2 week stay was not regrettable in the least! Sara, the host, outlined all expectations, and compliance is not an issue. Northern Illinois was a distant memory the whole time. Loved it!

The unit was large, comfortable and had an amazing view from almost every window. The kitchen was well stocked and all appliances were in good repair. The owner responded very quickly to any emails and was a pleasure to deal with. The pool was amazing, very large and well maintained. There were lots of tables and chairs around the pool so it was easy to pick a place to spend the day either in the shade or the sun. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is perfect as the complex is close to a large grocery store, shopping and wonderful restaurants. The buses are easy to use and very inexpensive. We throughly enjoyed Manzanillo as there are so many day trips to go on. Would definitely go back.

We had a amazing time and loved Manzanillo. The condo was very comfortable for 3 couples and It worked out great for us. Everything was in perfect working order in the condo and we loved the location. We all agreed the pool is the best in Manzanillo and so well kept. The views from the condo were incredible. Never needed to turn on the air conditioners and it was always comfortable. All staff at the property were very friendly and helpful. The front desk staff helped us arrange a larger vehicle to get the 6 of us back to the airport. We never saw maids in the unit but could tell they had been there - did leave them a tip each time. Pool bar staff were fun to visit with and drinks were delicious - just sad to hear they are going to leave the condo to open a restaurant but they said one of the waiters was going to take over the business at the condo- so maybe much won't change. We also found other guests and owners at the condo to be very friendly and willing to offer advise on restaurants and activities. We ventured out to several beaches - Mirimar and La Boquita. It was so easy to take the bus but taxis were so inexpensive that we took a taxi to La Boquita beach. Jorge (recommended by Sara) arranged a snorkeling and fishing trip for us. The snorkeling trip was a blast - we saw so many fish and enjoyed it so much. The fishing trip was fun too - just caught a few small fish - the best touch of the fishing trip was on the ride back to shore they made us ceviche from the fish we caught - so delicious. We were surprised at the great value of everything - our dollar is so strong there. The grocery store across the street, Soriana, is large and has everything you would need. Many great restaurants within walking distance. This was our first trip to Manzanillo and I can't wait to go back and hope to stay longer next time. The information provided by the owner Sara was really helpful.

Great location with amenities and great restaurants and bars within walking distance. We stayed there late January. The condo was ideal for our group and it was great having the washer and dryer. We also enjoyed the swim up bar at the pool but was only open Thursday-Sunday. It wasn't an issue as there are markets within walking distance so we could bring our own drinks to the pool. The tide was strong when we were there and prevented swimming. We would drive the short distance to the public beach. All in all it was a great value for the amenities provided.

Well-equipped, clean, confortable. Excellent service everywhere. Our family (1girl 2 years old, 1 baby 9months old) had a great time at the pool. We felt as home!

Our family of 4 (kids 8 & 5 years) stayed for a week here and it couldn't have been better for us. We felt at home as soon as we walked into the place. The staff there were first class and helped us with any questions and were very friendly. The condo itself had everything we needed and more. Everything was in perfect working order. The pool (as advertised) is the best in the area. Amazing restaurants all within walking distance and a grocery store across the street. Our family cannot wait to come back! The owners are great to deal with. I Highly recommended this property.

The 3 bedroom, 3 floor condo was great to stay in! It was well-equipped, clean and comfortable. The location was great - right on the end and with close access to the beach and the pool. The unit has air conditioning if you need it and a big bonus - Wi-Fi in the unit!! The wi-fi worked while we were there and it was so nice to have! We had kids and grandchildren with us and it fit all 6 of us very well. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. The pool is great for kids and adults - and often you can order food and drinks by the pool. The condo development is close to shopping, restaurants and a variety of services. You can catch a bus just outside and go to town. We would definitely consider staying in the unit again.

Rented this unit for six weeks. Not a complaint. Location in the community could not be any better everything you need right out your door. Bus service if you want to explore easy as well as taxis. The unit great location to the pool which is amazing as well are all the staff. The condo unit is very well stocked with all you will require should you choose to cook or just relax. Would not hesitate to return..

Beautiful place. We would definitely go back again. The condo was clean and well taken care of with a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff were great and very friendly. The pool and patio were really nice too. It was a great location near restaurants and shopping. Locals were all friendly too. Highly recommended for a wonderful relaxing Mexico vacation.

Absolutely loved the property. 3 floors with a huge deck on the top floors. Loved that every bedroom had a large full bathroom. Easily shared between 3 couples, a family or a group of friends. Pool was clean and refreshing. We loved sitting on the beach wall's edge so that we could swim in the pool or ocean. Location was great, we walk across the street to a gigantic grocery store and area had tuns of beach bars and restaurants. The restaurant recommendations and day trips were spot on... My first trip to Mexico and I never got sick. I live in Vancouver, Canada and love the east coast of Mexico for the clear water. But after a week in Manzanillo with clear blue sky, 30'c days and 22'c nights, I am switching coasts. Was really happy we had no rain and loved sitting out on the patio at night and having a drink.
