This is a BEACHFRONT property on beautiful Banderas Bay with million dollar views of the Pacific Ocean. Banderas Bay has over 100 km of coastline and beaches surrounded by the majestic Sierra Madres mountains. This is the birthing place for the HUMPBACK WHALES and the year-round home to thousands of dolphins. Have you ever wondered where the whales all go when they head south for the winter? They are right here, in Banderas Bay! Whale-watching tours are available during the months of November through March.

Start your morning with an invigorating 40-minute beach walk to the Bucerias' beachfront restaurants for breakfast, have a professional massage on the beach for about before walking back or taking a 3-minute taxi ride home. Or you could stay and spend the day shopping at the outdoor markets, stroll across the Kissing Bridge, and explore the Gold Coast restaurants on the other side. Stay and dine on the beach, or go watch a hockey or football game at YoYo Mo's and enjoy their AMAZING pizza! Go hear live classic rock music at Jax's, then get a churro from one of the outdoor vendors before heading back home to your place! On Wednesday nights, our local beach bar "Sukha's" features local live bands, and is just a short 5-10 walk from our condo. You can also take quick cab rides almost everywhere.

RECREATION – When you want a break from relaxing and soaking up the sun at Barlovento’s pools and beach, there is much to choose from. Well known Vallarta Adventures has something for everyone – check their website for unforgettable experiences. You can take a boat ride to a remote mountain spot in the bay and ride mules up into the mountains, then zip line over the jungle, repel down a 100 foot waterfall to swim in its cool waters below, then zip line and waterslide your way down the mountain to the boat. There is also first-class water park with a lazy river nearby. For fishing, Banderas Bay has Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna and Mahi Mahi and is home to International Tournaments. Fishing here is fantastic. Horseback riding on the beach or in the mountains or four-wheeling adventures are great fun-filled days.

WATER SPORTS – Surfing, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, kayaking, jet skis, sailing, parasailing are all right there for you.
GOLF courses abound in the area with courses in all ranges from Jack Nicklaus to simple public courses.
DINING- You could stay 6 months at our condo eating at great restaurants every day and never go to any of them twice, but you’ll find yourself going back to your favorites where they come to know you. Enjoy fresh fish and shrimp daily right from the bay at the restaurants, or cook your own fresh fish on our grill, from the La CRUZ Seafood Market, which is at the water’s edge and only 5 minutes from our condo. Watch the fishermen bring in their catch and choose your dinner right there, at ridiculously low prices. They will fillet it in front of you!
SHOPPING - Supermarkets - Mega, La Comer, Chedraui, and Walmart are the main stores. Chedrai is our favorite, because the cash machines are inside the building, and the store has great values on most household items, not just groceries. The cab ride to Chedraui is about 5 minutes from our condo. Once you have completed shopping and stocking up, just take your cart outside and there is always a cab driver waiting to give provide a ride home. Always ask "how much" first, before entering any cab. It's typically about 120 PESOS each way, depending on the time of year. There is also a Costco is in Puerto Vallarta. Plan to earmark about 800-1000 pesos for a cab ride to the airport, from our place.

Meet the wonderful people from Canada, USA and Mexico, who will be at our beachfront pool.
