With more than seventeen years experience living and working in Vallarta, Discovery Vallarta has one of the largest selections of gay-owned and gay-friendly condo and villa vacation rentals in Puerto Vallarta. DV offers you some of the best values in Puerto Vallarta because I live here and deal directly with many of the owners.  Discovery Vallarta has a particularly wide selection of condominiums, from nicely decorated and moderately priced studios and one bedrooms to two and three bedroom luxury beachfront Puerto Vallarta condos and penthouses fit for a king.  Most of DV's condos are located in the gay-friendly South Side-Zona Romantica (Romantic Zone) of Puerto Vallarta, which is also where most of the gay establishments are located. So it is easy to walk to the gay beach and gay bars, the pleasant shops and cafes and the more than thirty fine restaurants and eateries in this incredible area. The majority of DV's condos are located on Vallarta's lovely principal beach, Playa de Los Muertos. Most of these condominium buildings have beachfront restaurants on the premises. Three of these restaurants are among Puerto Vallarta's most famous and popular.  Inquiries: For further infor or to make a Puerto Vallarta condominium/villa reservation, contact via the primary email at: michaelmayo72@prodigy.net.mx or via telephone from the US or Canada: 011-52-322-222-6918 Rates: Rates noted on the website or quoted to the client are in US dollars per night. Quoted rates usually include taxes and maid service. Maid service and reception desk tips are NOT included. Further Important Information Terms of Payment: Condo rentals are payable by cashier check, official bank check (bank money order), wire transfer, or credit cards (by using Paypal, which must include the additional 3% surcharge), but we cannot accept personal/business checks or Post Office money orders in Mexico. To confirm your reservation, the 50% non-refundable deposit needs to arrive within four-six (4-6) days so please plan accordingly. The final payment is generally due at 35-40 days before arrival, though some condos and villas require final payment at 60-65 days before arrival, especially for holiday rentals. A few condos (and all villas) require a refundable security deposit, which I hold for my clients in case of damages and send back within a week or so of the client's departure. If you reserve at less than 40-50 days before arrival, then full payment is due at the time of reservation. Maid service varies from 1 to 6 times per week, with no service on Sundays and Mexican holidays. If you wish to receive a written confirmation of your rental or a rental agreement, please ask, otherwise the email correspondence and confirmation are considered sufficient. Accommodations are subject to availability and prices on this website are subject to change without notice until the reservation is confirmed. Arrival Information: Please note that in the deposit instructions and confirmation letters we ask that you send us your airline name, flight numbers and the arrival and departure times. This is for our records and so that the condo staff/reception can know when to expect you. It is also helpful for me to have your permanent address as well as a home/work phone number in case I need to contact you personally regarding the reservation and/or to return a security deposit. Other important Puerta Vallarta condo rental information is noted at page bottom regarding terms of payment, arrival information and tipping, etc.

Inquiries: For further info or to make a condo reservation, contact via email at michaelmayo72@prodigy.net.mx (alternate email mjmayo72@hotmail.com) or telephone from the US or Canada: 011-52-322-222-6918

Arrival Information: Please note that in the deposit instructions and confirmation letters we ask that you send us your airline name, flight numbers and the arrival and departure times. This is for our records and so that the condo staff/manager might know when to expect you and your group and thus be on hand to greet you. It is also helpful for me to have your permanent address as well as a home/work phone number in case I need to contact you personally regarding the reservation and/or to return a security deposit.

Cancellation Policy: The initial 50% deposit is normally considered non-refundable, and is noted as such both in the deposit instructions and the initial confirmation email. Under certain conditions and with the owner's consent, if you have found it absolutely necessary to cancel your booking, you must provide a written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to your occupancy date. If this condition is met I will seek to refund 80% of your initial 50% deposit amount, while the other 20% is an administrative fee which is not refundable. In the case of any holiday booking, a refund may be requested, minus the 20% administrative fee, only if more than ninety (90) days before your arrival date and with the owner's consent. Because of these conditions it is recommended that you consider purchasing travel insurance if there is any possibility of cancellation or a change of travel plans.

Tipping: Tipping of condo employees is voluntary although customary in Mexico. Tipping is always appreciated. Maid service and reception desk tips are not included in quoted prices, so please be generous to the staff as I am sure that you will receive good to excellent service. To provide assistance in this matter, note that the standard tip for maid service in a Puerto Vallarta condominium building would be in the approximate range of $2-$5 per day per guest to maid. I suggest that you tip all staff directly. Be kind enough to take good tipping into consideration while planning your vacation in gay-friendly Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Check in - Check-In Time for most Puerto Vallarta condominiums, apartments and villas is usually after 3pm-4pm; and Check-Out Time is generally by 11am-12 Noon.

Owner/Agent Responsibility - The owner is basically responsible for the following: A) That the property is well maintained and that any repairs needed be done in a timely fashion.

Changes in inventory, items and decor may occur from time to time and such changes will not void the terms of any rental arrangement or agreement.

Note: Some of these condos and apartments require a refundable security deposit. In some cases upon check-in the client is required to sign a Damage Deposit Form and provide a copy of their credit card, in which case should any damages occur the credit card will be charged for the total amount of the damages. In any and all cases, the clients/guests will be required to pay for any damages, beyond normal wear and tear, in cash, by credit card (where applicable) or from the security deposit before checking out.

Note: No nudity and no sexual activity of any kind is allowed in any of the public common areas of these Vallarta condo buildings or on the beach concession areas of any of these condo buildings. Guests could be asked by the condominium administration to immediately leave if any such infractions occur.
