Isla Palmares is a highly secured low-rise complex of five condo buildings on the grounds of the famous PGA Championship El Tigre Golf Course and part of the Paradise Village complex. Reviewed as one of the Top 10 Best golf courses in the country by Golf Guide Magazine & Golf in Mexico Magazine. Puerto Vallarta is quickly becoming synonymous with world-class golf, and Paradise Village’s El Tigre Golf Course has just raised the standard with its new upscale championship facilities and exclusive country club. The El Tigre Golf Club gated community is only a 15 minute drive from Puerto Vallarta's international airport. From the condo it is just a short walk out of the complex to a world class marina, several recreational activities, shopping center with restaurants and retail stores, 5 star hotel, a casino, a bank, medical services and more.

As a guest at La Joya, if you buy the Social Pass, you have full use of the complete Fitness Club, which includes pickle ball, squash and tennis courts, 25 meter lap pool, full gymnasium, children’s play area, large well equipped fitness room and workout classes and a spa. Please note that there is a small fee to use the extra facilities paid to the golf course administration (now $440 pesos per week per person at the time of writing) and there are fees to play golf.

The private 5-star beach club, Playa Royale, is a pleasant 10-or-so minute walk and is also included in the Social pass. Or take the free shuttle to the beach club where you can take advantage of the towel service, swimming pool and reserved palapas and lounge chairs on the huge and stunning Vallarta beach, while ordering lunch or snacks and your favourite cold beverage. It is one of our favourite places in the world to relax in the late afternoon and watch the sun as it sets over the Pacific ocean.

Isla Palmares is a high-security complex with multiple pools with palapas and communal barbeques. Condo features: well-equipped full kitchen with gas stove with grill and oven, large fridge, toaster, microwave, blender, coffee maker, dishwasher; washer/ dryer; 3 Smart TVs (65, 55 and 43 inches); free wireless high speed internet; telephone landline with free calls in North America, two terraces with table and chairs and wicker conversation set; original art; quality mattresses; modern showers and sinks, luxurious towels (bath, hand, facecloth, beach). Please note that we do not offer television programming but that you an use your own accounts on the smart TVs and Rocket Stick.

The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, plenty of cupboard storage, terrace access and a high end en suite bathroom with walk in shower.

Bedroom 2 has a pair of single beds that can be put together as a king and has access to the 2nd terrace which is shared with the master.

The kitchen opens onto the open living area with vaulted ceiling and then onto the large very private terrace which faces south over the pools to the beautiful view of the Sierra Madre mountains. Being on the 3rd floor, you look out into the tops of palm trees and the birds that frequent them.

The living room has new custom furniture and the huge sofa converts to a king-sized bed, but it is not that comfortable and should be used only for one adult or kids in our opinion. The kitchen island has modern stools for enjoying a margarita while snacks or meals are being prepared.

We love art and we are slowly adding modern art touches to the entire condo. Some local and others sourced internationally.

Just north of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and on the same grand beach that lines most of Banderas Bay, Mexico's Nuevo Vallarta in Riviera Nayarit is the perfect sun holiday destination. Just 10 minutes north from the Puerto Vallarta airport, it sits at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountain range with spectacular mountain views and long, sandy beaches. Enjoy the many fine restaurants and activities, including whale watching, snorkeling and scuba diving, jungle treks, ATV tours, many spas offering a wide range of treatments, vibrant weekly art gallery walks in Puerto Vallarta and nearby artisan shopping, frequent local festivals, and the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

The interesting beach and surf towns of Bucerias and Sayulita and many others are a short trip away. You can take a liesurely bike ride to Bucerias or taxi there and and after a coffee, gelato or cerveza, walk all the way back along the beach

Nuevo Vallarta is a delightful slower-paced respite from the frantic life of the big cities and when you are ready for a bit more variety in your nightlife, Puerto Vallarta is a short drive, taxi or bus-ride away. The whole area is considered to be one of the safest places in Mexico. So come and relax and enjoy the gentle warmth of the Mexican people, the great food and comforts of La Joya at EL Tigre in Nuevo Vallarta.

Please use restraint when using air conditioning and shut it off when away from the apartment. Besides being the right thing to do for the environment, electricity is very expensive in Mexico. Excessive use of electricity will be charged to the damage deposit.
Please Note: During the hotter months - May 1 to Oct 31 - electricity will be charged to the guest after the first 500 pesos per week.

Beau condo mais travaux extérieurs

Très beau site, belle végétation, condo bien équipé. Possibilité pour plusieurs sports : golf, tennis, pickelball. À 12 min. et plus de marche pour la plage et commerces. Attention, toujours valider avec le propriétaire s'il n'y a pas de travaux en cours sur le site et adjacent au site qui pourraient rendre votre séjour moins agréable.

Nice Place!

We stayed eight days in this condo which was very clean and in a quiet location. We learned there is a shuttle to take us to a mall with a grocery store, a good restaurant, a few other stores and from there it is a hub for other areas. The owners were very helpful, answering everyone of my questions within a very short time. Thank you!

Nicest pool that you’ll find in all of Mexico

- huge pool (one heated, one not heated) - very quiet (not anything like an all inclusive) - beautiful home - very roomy for a four person family - many places to walk for food - almost just as easy to walk to the beach club than take the free shuttle - easy check-in and check-out - water service Wednesday & Saturdays

Great vacation

The property was super clean and the property manager was amazing during our stay. The location was perfect as it was a very quiet location and only a short walk to the beach. The sports/beach club pass is a must as it allows you access to the sports club as well as full access to the private beach area. There was a lot of great info provided which was a big help when deciding where to eat in the evenings and things to do. The property was well stocked with the basics which was great so we could go grocery shopping and eat at the condo. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and definitely stay here again,

Perfect getaway

Super clean, quiet, with everything we needed for a 2-week stay. We worked remotely and the wifi was fast and reliable, the location is awesome with the gym, pickle ball court and the beach and the bike trail within a 5-minute ride. Leigh was a great host and the property manager is a gem, responding to questions and requests immediately. The security guards are gracious and accommodating as well, and even helped me with my very broken Spanish. Highly recommend this condo if you want a mix of quiet, work, and fun!

Las Palmeras

Location is great! Pools are huge and welcoming. Condo is best suited for shorter stays as closet space is limited. For our 2 month stay, this created some challenges for 2 women (owner is working on this). Responsive management and owner, who truly care about guest comfort.

Exceeded expectations

Leigh is an excellent host responding quickly to any questions or concerns. The condo is beautifully decorated and very well appointed...it feels like a home. The owners thoughtfully provided a bottle of wine and welcoming note as well as breakfast foods which we really appreciated because we arrived late evening. The pantry and fridge were well stocked with condiments(rare in rentals) which we were happy to use and supplement. We enjoyed dinners on the balcony with views of the Sierra Madres and sunsets, cooled by the evening breezes. Isla Palmares is an impeccably maintained, secure complex within El Tigre. The golf, fitness center, complimentary shuttle to the beach and Paradise Village make this a great place to vacation. We have already booked for next year....need we say more! Krys and Ken

Great Property and Owners

The communication from the owners before, during and after our stay was great. We could tell they genuinely cared about our experience staying in their place. The check-in and check-out process was simple and the property manager also checked in on us a few times to see if we needed anything during our stay. The property is immaculate and very well taken care of. The clubhouse and beach club are great amenities and the local pool for this complex is massive. We especially enjoyed having a washer and dryer unit to use during our week stay. We would highly recommend this place to anyone and would absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Leigh Smout

Host profile image
Erin and Leigh are Canadians based in Toronto. We have 3 children ranging from 19 to 26. We plan to use this second home as a winter respite upon retirement. In the mean time, we are pleased to make it available to respectful travelers when our family isn't booked in!

It was owned by a friend and was called Casa Patricia 2. We have upgraded furniture, linens, etc. and want it to be top quality for ourselves and our guests

Why they chose this property

We have stayed here many times. It is a beautiful and mostly quiet place and we have found the people here to be lovely. The area is fantastic with unbelievably high quality and reasonably priced restaurants.

The golf course, the Sports Club and the Beach Club are absolutely fantastic!

When our friend told us she was going to sell, we said, yes please!

What makes this property unique

How about yoga in the morning, out for a fantastic breakfast, some beach wandering and a beachside lunch, on to the golf course for a reduced price afternoon game, margaritas and snacks on the terrace and either whip up a fresh meal in the ample kitchen or head out to any of the numerous fine dining establishments within that are all around Nuevo Vallarta. And at the end of the day, make plans for some pool time on the morrow, followed by a trip in to town for the market or a festival. Every day a new adventure, based on whatever feels right for that day!
