While the Centro/5 de diciembre neighborhood is only minutes from the center of town and its tourist-friendly attractions, it offers a more laid-back experience with cobblestone streets, small family-run stores and a mix of foreign and Mexican residents. A few blocks away from Villa la Vista, shops, cafes, restaurants and the beach provide plenty to experience. And from the terrace or the pool, the Bay view offers parasailers drifting across the sky, birds swooping and dipping above the waves and boats plying the waters. On a clear day, you can see forever -- and nearly every day is clear and offers a view to the horizon, unbroken view of 27 kilometers (16 miles) of sea and sky, clouds and crashing waves -- and, in the winter months, a distant view of cavorting whales.
In terms of amenities, the Penthouse is designed to be like a hotel suite-- one with a private pool, mini-bar, outdoor shower, palapa and terrace. We provide a microwave, coffeemaker, kettle, a few dishes and tableware. But for your suite's "room service" , call the food delivery services (UberEats, Raffi, etc) to bring orders to the door. Or venture out to sample Puerto Vallarta's more than 1,000 restaurants -- and enjoy your time on the town!
