I stayed in a 2 bd condo (53 A) in Plaza Marina this past August - the rate was Fantastic! But even better, the Condo was as nice as the Condo I stayed in in 2008 - (at the Bay View Grand) -
Draw Backs - I had to walk 4 blocks to the Beach - but really not a big deal - the view - more of a commercial view with the main street out front - Pluses ...

I stayed at this surprising upscale condo www.puerto-vallarta-rentals.com/plazamarina53a in November 2009. I was very surprised how nice the condo was as I did not pay that much for the 2 weeks I stayed there. Traffic noise was not a problem and the the bedroom is in the back of the condo (away from the street) The real plus is the 42" flat ...

Noise all days and nights. Very acoustic rooms. Good secure place to stay. Long distance to the dirty beach.

This is the best place to shop groceries and crafts if you travel to Puerto Vallarta and your are staying in the Marina Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta Area. Is located a couple of blocks from the airport and next to the Marina Vallarta Golf course.
