Avis LA JOLLA DE MISMALOYA CONDO - Ocean Front, Stunning View

La Jolla is a small condo complex sitting up above beach level. There are stairs that lead to the small, quaint beach where you can have food, massages, rent kayaks/paddle boards, or hire out a boat excursion. We love it here. The one restaurant on property is excellent but isn't open year round. You might have to navigate a couple flights of stairs depending on condo but they were working on extending the elevator when we were there last.

Condo has a great location with a scenic view from the balcony. Well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Great on-site restaurant, or you can walk to various good restaurants in town in about 10-15 minutes. Vibe is very low key and quiet and relaxing. Pool was great. Hot tub was nice and hot! A very enjoyable stay here.

Probably the nicest condo on the property. The owners have done a beautiful job decorating. Only problem we encountered was the elevator for that building has not yet been installed.it wasn’t easy carrying my wheelchair and luggage the additional two floors. Mismaloya grill is fantastic! You don’t even need to leave the property.

We had an amazing week! Everything was lovely. Our second stay at La Joya de Mismaloya and we will be back I’m sure. Can’t beat the ocean view.

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described. Highly recommended.

I don’t normally write reviews. The Mismaloya Bay is probably only 10 miles from downtown Puerto Vallarta but the traffic at peak hours/ peak tourist times ( we were there over Christmas) created a slow trip. Perhaps 40 min or longer in our rental car. The parking is easy at the condo. Public transportation of a variety of types is readily available. Parking downtown can be more difficult depending on location. The bay itself is stunning. The facilities are excellent, private ownership for these condos with many not utilized when the owners are gone. Despite a review indicating difficult beach access that is not true, for my mobility level at least. A stairway and gate lead to the beach which is maybe 50 yards away. Several small restaurants deeper into the bay community. The condo itself is top notch. The balcony and views are awesome. Quiet for the most part with occasional music from the all inclusive resort a small distance away. Some road traffic rarely heard, mostly just hear the waves on the beach rocks below the window about 60 feet. The sandy beach is over to the left about 50 yards as stated. One restaurant on facility. Excellent pool with plenty of seating. Not many people at the pool with rare children at our stay. Great jacuzzi below the room as well as at the pool. Frankly, I would buy a place there, or at least consider it. The check in after hours was a little awkward. I speak Spanish so it was OK, but during the day would have been better. Amy, our liason for the location was great via e mail but unfortunately back in the states for our trip from Texas’s. Some broken English but most speak Spanish. Doubt much of a problem for English speakers only.

Fantastic view, relaxing.

The view is beautiful and people are wonderful! It’s a very good and safe place! The restaurant is terrific!

Visiting friends - very enjoyable stay. We had everything we needed. Thank you.

As others have noted, the view of the sparkling bay and crashing waves below are magical. Overall we enjoyed our stay, however, as committed ‘beach walkers,’ we were disappointed that the beach access is via a very slippery rock outcropping or along a busy road. Since we couldn’t walk on the beach, we ended up going to the town daily, which offers its own charms. However, we did feel a bit ‘captive’ in the unit. The remodeled unit is quite attractive, however, they seemed to sacrifice functionality for aesthetics. Not one chair is comfortable. And the listing says it ‘sleeps 4’ which is wrong. The sofas do not accommodate guests or children. (We didn’t have either, but be forwarned.) Minor issues include an erratic coffee maker and toilet that needs repair. The bedroom does have muffled street noise (and slight vibrations); we solved this by keeping the bedroom windows closed all the time and letting the sound of the crashing surf drown it out. Beautiful view. Lovely weather. Wonderful condo staff and security. All in all this was a wonderful trip.
