Our condo is in an exceptional location: beach, 180° ocean and beach view, no crowds and no traffic noise. Hop on the bus at the stop right out front, in 15 min you are in Old Town Puerto Vallarta!

So book now before someone else takes the days you want, or to stay a month or two. Let us know if you have questions.

We purchased our unit having ensured all the essentials - friendly English-speaking staff 24/7, elevators, A/C, the sound of the waves... and did I mention the 180° view! The unit is perfect for two but also has a trundle bed that can accommodate two more as well. And did I mention the view! We think this is one of the best views in all of Puerto Vallarta! It is breathtaking to gaze out across the bay while relaxing on the balcony at any time of day and to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening while watching the sun set.

From the balcony or the ocean-side restaurant near the pool, you can watch diving pelicans, crashing and gently splashing waves and enjoy romantic sunsets. You can swim in the heated pool or at one of the best beaches in Puerto Vallarta, Playa las Gemelas with gated access from Girasol Sur, and regardless of the time of day, there is never any traffic noise. The long sandy beach is ideal for a daytime or evening stroll and despite being a public beach it is never crowded.

If your ideal vacation is “doing nothing” in a gorgeous place with Mexican architecture, Girasol Sur is it. You don’t need to go anywhere. There is a small grocery store off the lobby that has most everything you may need. There are also bakeries, meat and grocery type stores in Old Town, just ask. And a laundromat is available (sign up for a time at the front desk). The kitchenette offers a stove top and convection oven, full size refrigerator, microwave, an electric coffee pot and an electric teakettle.

But if you don’t feel like cooking, the on-site Girasol Sur Restaurant with its panoramic terrace overlooks the ocean and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner (good food and good prices). People come from surrounding condo buildings to eat here also. If you check on-line, you’ll see that the restaurant has gotten good reviews. Remember to make a reservation at the front desk to ensure a table. Be advised that they only accept cash.

On the other hand, if you want to experience Puerto Vallarta’s fiestas, culture, shops and great food, catch the bus to Old Town where the bus stops on the main street for restaurants, shops and the beach. Catch the bus back at the same place you got off, tell the driver “Girasol sur” and then exit the bus in front of Girasol Sur. Or, if you prefer, take a taxi…or Uber which is also a great way to get to and from the airport (check at the information desk when you arrive.) Uber is about half the cost of a taxi…unless it’s raining, when taking a taxi is a usually a better deal. You can also take the bus south to dine in Mismaloya or Boca, but we haven’t tried that yet.

When looking for a great place to stay on your vacation or winter getaway, consider Girasol Sur...views from balcony, swimming, snorkeling or surfing without traveling anywhere, poolside bar and restaurant, elevators, an easy trip to Old Town by bus or Uber, and no need for a car (though there is ample no charge parking on-site). It is really an idea spot.

What are you waiting for Let us know if you have questions BUT, make your reservation ASAP before someone else books your dates!

Reasons to choose to stay at Girasol Sur:
180° view of the bay and PV skyline to the north
Beautifully tended grounds
Studio and balcony ocean view to watch sunsets & seabirds
Winter “critter-watch” — whales & dolphins return to our bay
Evening and nighttime admire the magic of the illuminated bay & PV skyline
Enjoy happy hour (offered every day) at the swim-up bar or get a table for wine and hors d’oeuvres before dinner
Swim in the clean, clear water, or walk the wide sandy beach or along the clear water’s edge
Use the pool heated, relax on one of the chaise lounges on the broad terrace, or sit at one of the tables to play one of your travel games - checkers, bridge or…
Bus or cab to Vallarta Botanic Garden with its magnificent collection of orchids and tropical plants…have lunch on the veranda in a spectacular setting..
If you are not aware of “Estero de El Salado”, (El Slado estuary) located just south of the airport, it is worth a trip “up north”. Do an internet search to get details and make reservations, which are required.
Gated access to one of PV’s most beautiful beaches
Find plenty to do in Old Town Vallarta: cabaret shows, jazz clubs, local theater, cinemas, art galleries, sports bars, wonderful restaurants, a variety of food and various shops and more.
A number of golf courses in PV)… rather expensive, I understand, including one next to the estuary
Washer/dryer available one floor below us. We are a member of the laundry club. A key comes with the room keys (provide your own liquid detergent)
Library / meeting room: Free books free access
Maid service available - $20US for general cleaning plus changing bed linen.
A porter to help carry your luggage…please tip for this service
Open parking at the entrance
AND did I mention the view ! We hope to hear from you soon.

    Super responsive host! Quiet for sleeping - no street noise. Plenty of towels for beach,pool, and shower! Reusable filter in coffee pot! There are even pool noodles and Tommy Bahama chairs to take down to enjoy beautiful playa gemelas! Breakfast at restaurant on site was good, we didn’t go for dinner- you do need a reservation and they get busy. Happy hour 6-7 everyday and the margs were bueno! We enjoyed our stay and Girasol sur is close enough to it all and far enough away to relax.

    We truly enjoyed our stay. The location is in my opinion one of the best. Beautiful beaches, close to everything, hop on a bus and you’re there, north or south. Pool, restaurant and grocery store on site is a bonus. 2nd time staying at the resort and will try to come back next year. Hosts were easy to get in touch with, front desk was great. Friendly people and staff. What more could one ask for.

    Con: Restaurant repetitive menu prices elevated for quality of food. More restaurant options in the immediate area would be a plus. Condo furnishings coyld use sn upgrade. Kitchen lacked the basics ie: salt pepper, zero condiments.All appliances work perfect full size fridge. Condo itself has an amazing view. High ceilings give the studio a spacious feeling. King bed is comfortable. Condo is perfectly located in the buildind. 15 minute bus directly across the street into RZTotally recommend girasol sur!

    Thank you for hosting my mom for 3 weeks. It was exactly what she needed. She fell in love with the condo, the building, the amenities and the people. She hopes to be back next winter, only for longer.Any questions she had, you quickly responded to and made her feel at home.Thanks Darryl

    We stayed there for 14 days, the only problem we had was the distance to Pvr central, it took 30 to 45 minutes drive time to get to downtown Pvr.
