Playa Royale by Paradise Village Beachfront Resort in Nuevo Vallarta

Playa Royale by Paradise Village Beachfront Resort in Nuevo Vallarta

I have not made it any secret that I like Playa Royale.  I personally feel that it is one of the best options available for a beach front condominium in the North Banderas Bay area, if not in all of Puerto Vallarta.  It’s central location in Nuevo Vallarta means it is close enough to enjoy all that Old Town Puerto Vallarta has to offer but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet when you want it.  It’s location also affords it a wider selection of restaurants and shopping as it is an easy drive from just about anywhere in the bay.  And Playa Royale is extremely well built, with concrete and block construction throughout, US/Canadian spec plumbing and electrical installations, hotel grade door hardware, quality fixtures and heavy grade vinyl widows and sliding doors… this all adds up to a solid, well built condominium that is well suited to the harsh ocean front environment.  Being in real estate, I see a lot of homes and condos.  And being in Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta,  I see a lot of Beach front condominiums for sale.  I have seen what poor workmanship looks like in just a few years in a beachfront condo.  In Nuevo Vallarta and Flamingos there are several examples of how not to build a condominium, but Playa Royale has been around for a few years now and has stood the test of time… and passed with flying colors!  A lot of that has to do with the management team at Playa Royale.  Playa Royale has an excellent management and maintenance staff that are always working to keep the facility in tip-top condition.  Having quality people you can call on when you are having a problem with your condo is a huge bonus, especially if you are new to Mexico and don’t speak the language. Throw in the Paradise Village Social Membership, with discounts on g0lf at the El Tigre Club de Golf, unlimited access to the El Tigre Sport and Racquet Club, and discounts at Paradise Village shops an restaurants, and you have a combination not found anywhere else in the Banderas Bay.

So Playa Royale has a lot going for it.  What Playa Royale does not have a lot of is one bedroom condominiums.  Actually only eight each in towers 2 and 4, and none in tower 1.  So it is rare to see a one bedroom condominium for sale in Playa Royale, and it is even more rare when that 1 bedroom condo is on the ocean front corner and enjoys the privileged views of the gardens, pools and beach of Nuevo Vallarta.  Playa Royale 2201 is just such a condo and has just been listed for sale.  If you are looking for a 1 bedroom condominium in the Nuevo Vallarta and Flamingos area, this is one condominium you must see.  2201 is being sold tastefully furnished, and fully turn key.  Please click here for complete details on this Beachfront Condominium for Sale in Nuevo Vallarta.

Foolish Me – Nima Bay Condos in Marina Vallarta

March 4, 2011 · Posted in Developments, For Sale, Puerto Vallarta Real Estate · 2 Comments 

Ok, I admit it… I was a narrow minded fool.

Nima Bay Marina Flats and Shops Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta

Nima Bay Marina Flats and Shops Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta

I took a tour of the Nima Bay condominiums in Marina Vallarta a few days ago and boy was I surprised.

Nima Bay Marina Flats and Shops Vallarta  started construction right at the end of the real estate boom here in Puerto Vallarta and as with many of the new projects, I was more than a little skeptical.  At that time new projects were cropping up everywhere and quality was not always the first priority with these “Boom Condos”.  The smell of money was in the air and there were a lot of buildings going up that were just looking for quick turnover and maximizing profits… as long as the gloss lasted until the building was sold, that was good enough.

The Elevators at Nima Bay service only two condominiums per floor

I watched this project go up, slowly, from an empty hole in the ground, to it’s current state of (very) near completion.  I had fixed firmly in my mind the notion that this was just another “Boom Condo”, so Imagine my surprise when I toured the property and, in spite of my preconceptions, I found a development of consummate quality.  and not only in the obvious things like the imported Italian kitchens (guaranteed for 15 years!) with granite counter tops and Bosch stainless appliances, but also in the small details like the fit of the doors, finishes around the widows, and even how cleanly the concrete was poured in the basement.  It was  obvious everywhere I looked that Nima Bay condominiums were designed and built by professionals in an orderly and well managed environment.  A lot of thought went into the layout of the condos.  Their front to back designs takes full advantage of the views of Marina Vallarta, the mountains and the Marina Golf course.

Nima Bay is divided into a series of towers in such a way that each elevator services just 2 condominiums per floor, offering added privacy to Nima Bay condo owners.  Combine all the quality and attention to detail with the great location and the immense common areas which include gym, sauna, steam room, spinning, billiards, card tables and even a snack bar, and Nima Bay becomes a formidable option for anyone looking in Marina Vallarta.

Nima Bay condos are still technically pre-construction, which in today’s market is like trying to sell ice to Eskimos… generally received rather coolly.  But they are as close to completion as makes no difference (they should be delivering at the end of April, 2011) and they have the added kicker that there is still a pre-construction discount in place!

If you are looking for a good deal on a good condo in Marina Vallarta, Nima Bay should definitely be on your short list.  If you’d like more information about Nima Bay, or Puerto Vallarta Real Estate in general, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Condo Deals at Playa Royale in Nuevo Vallarta

Playa Royale Beachfront Condominium for Sale in Nuevo Vallarta

Playa Royale towers have a very solid concrete and block construction and U.S. / Canadian spec plumbing and electrical installations.  The windows and sliding doors are long lasting vinyl and the kitchens feature stainless whirlpool appliances, granite counter tops and cabinetry imported from Canada.  In short, they are built to gracefully withstand the relatively harsh ocean front environment in which they are located.

And the location is amazing… Centrally located in the Banderas Bay, close to everything, but secluded enough to be an oasis of solitude when you want to get away from it all. A few steps out the door lies the amazing Nuevo Vallarta beach where a stroll on the beach  can go up to 7 uninterrupted miles of wide sandy coastline covering Nuevo Vallarta, Flamingos, Bucerias… all the way to La Crux de Huanacaxtle.

Playa Royale was built by the Paradise Village Group, who have drawn on their decades of experience in the hospitality industry to put together an excellent management team which maintains the buildings and the grounds impeccably.  On staff are professional maintenance, grounds keeping, house keeping, and administration personnel who look after the condos when the owners are away, and ensure that they always arrive to find their investment in Mexico safe, clean and ready to enjoy.

There is also access to the wet areas at the European spa located at the El Tigre Club house, along with an excellent restaurant and pro shop.  and to tie all of this together is a free shuttle that runs from Playa Royale every half hour to all of these amenities, plus the Paradise Plaza Nuevo Vallarta shopping center (with all of its shops and restaurants), the yacht club at the Paradise Village Marina and the Paradise Village hotel itself.

When we originally listed this condo, we priced it at $795,000 USD… and we felt it was worth it. This is a 6th floor corner unit with expansive views of the bay and the immaculate Playa Royale gardens. Plus it is immaculately decorated… the current (original) owners invested over $60,000 USD in furniture and decor… many pieces were custom made for this condo. Have a look at the pictures and you’ll see what I mean. All this in one of the best built, best managed, best maintained and well located condominiums in Nuevo Vallarta. (Did I mention it comes with Full Paradise Village Social Membership?)

Now they are telling me, This Condo Must Sell!

So they authorized me just this morning to drop the price by nearly $100K… the new price? $697,000 USD.

$697K is a huge bargain, and it’s less than they paid for the condo… it will not last long at this price.
