Our Rental Property
Shangri-La Building 4 Unit 8A
385 Paseo de la Marina Sur 4-08 Shangri-La, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, 48335, MEXICO
We have been visiting Mexico for close to 25 years and have spent about 20 of them in Puerto Vallarta. We have visited and stayed at different communities throughout the entire Bay of Banderos and each one of them has its own special charm and character. Despite the amazing weather from November to June, it is the Mexican people that make this country so special. They have an insatiable desire to please and a deep sense of sincerity that is becoming very rare in our world journeys.
We have been spending more and more time in Mexico and have finally decided to invest in Shangri-La (in November 2023), which we think is one of the best kept secrets around. As as we prepare to retire, but have decided to share our Mexican home with like minded people who share the same values as us. We are not weekend renters. We are looking for responsible and respectful occupants. Out of respect of our friends and neighbours of Shangri-La, we are not receptive to "partygoers" , young children, and pets (which are not permitted for the Owner's guests).
Building 4 is located just behind the main entrance to the complex, thereby enabling quick access to the Marina Restaurants and Bars (less than 5 minutes). It also has a full view of the spectacular swimming pool and the Bay of Banduras. At night, you are able to see the lights of downtown Puerto Vallarta and the sunset from some rooms within the unit. From the east side, there is a great view of the Marina Golf Club and the Marina.
There are 3 Bedrooms and 3 full Bathrooms; two of which are on-suite Bathrooms. Each Bedroom has its own split air conditioning system, an electric ceiling fan and a television. Currently, two of the Bedrooms have king size beds, and the remaining one has a queen. New linens were purchased in November 2023 and there are several improvements planned for the Property imminently.
An Elevator services each unit directly and is accessible via a code on the elevator buttons, which can be changed from time to time. The Unit also comes equipped with a stacked washer, dryer and wash tub (not a full sink). Garbage is placed in the bins outside the rear service door and is picked up regularly during the week. There are 3 hair dryers and an ironing board and iron.
The Kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge/freezer, stove top, oven, microwave, coffee maker (#4 filters), Nespresso coffee machine (pods not included), blender, toaster, BBQ, and all pots, pans, plates and cutlery. Not only has Puerto Vallarta's water been rated as perfectly safe for human consumption with a certificate of purity for 17 consecutive years, it is one of only two vacation destinations in the country to achieve this important distinction, however we provide one 5 gallon water container with a manual pump as an alternative.
There is a counter bar peninsula and separate Dining Room table with 8 chairs, for morning breakfast and dining.
The Living Room has a comfortable brand new sofa and leather lounge chair. There is a new 65 inches Samsung Smart TV, a Sonos Arc Soundbar. A Firestick with some programming is also included.
All linens for bedding, towels, beach towels is included. There is a Cleaning Fee of $85.00 USD at the end of the rental and additional maid service during the stay is available ($$$). Electricity is extra. The meters are read at the beginning and the end, and amounts owing will be deducted from the security deposit.

Paradise at Shangri-La
Shangri-La is a gated residential development consisting of 5 mid rise concrete buildings surrounding an enormous swimming pool with lush gardens and plants on 25 acres of land. The pool starts at one end of the residential development and ends at the private beach on the ocean.
There are two hot tubs, a fully equipped gym with weights, aerobic equipment, steam room and massage services, a kids playground, a pool side restaurant and swim up bar as well as beach service under your palapa, and two fully lit tennis courts on site.
The beach has many lounge chairs and Palapa's for you to relax after swimming in the ocean. The "piece de resistance" are the sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. And there are many Cruise Ships that enter the port of the Marina for a few nights; an incredible sight to see, especially at night time. And last but not least, the Mexican people are very festive as evidenced by firework shows almost every night from many of the hotels along the Bay of Banderos. Upon stepping out to the extra large balcony, guests are soothed by the lush vista before them: mountains, deep blue ocean, and downtown Puerto Vallarta.
