Great Accommodation in Excellent Old Town Location
We stayed at Indah 4D in early January and having visited to Vallarta for the past 15+ years we had high expectations. Indah 4D did not disappoint. The multiple (2) pools provide ample leisure opportunity and the food and service was good. A 10 minute walk on a cobblestone street to Old a Town where many of PVs best restaurants are located. The unit was clean and well appointed. Our group of 7 had a wonderful stay and will definitely return in the future.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! We have been renting condo since Feb 2019 through airbnb so we are happy to have our first HomeAway guest have a great experience as well! Hope you will visit again!
This is an amazing property! The photos are very accurate. The owners and staff are very kind, organized, generous, and lovely to deal with. The pickleball setup is amazing, so if you're looking for pickleball this is a great spot. The river was also beautiful during our visit and lovely to go for a walk just wading up the river. It's a bit cooler than the heat of PV - perfect temperatures. This really is an amazing spot, highly recommended!The *only* very picky notes to be aware of are the fact that there are some harmless but itchy biting bugs (since you're in the jungle) and that it's a ways from town. We were looking for something remote so it was ideal for us, but it is a good ways out from PV.
This property could not have been more perfect for our visit to PV! We've stayed at Indah before and absolutely love it. The condos are beautiful, clean and well-maintained, with spectacular views. The pool areas are incredible and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The location is excellent - just a short walk or cab ride to the Romantic Zone, but away from the noise for nice, peaceful nights. The property management team was responsive and very friendly. I will always look at the Indah for future visits!
Great place. Nice amenities with gym and rooftop pool with great reasonably priced restaurant.
Great place. Nice amenities with gym and rooftop pool with great reasonably priced restaurant and good drinks. There was some drilling and construction during our stay.
The balcony has amazing views - we saw whales and dolphins from it - and very comfortable with room for everyone. It was a very spacious place, with lots of room for our extended family of 8. Everything was beautiful and well kept - we had a wonderful time!!
The condo is spacious and in like new condition. It's located near, but not in the romantic zone. It's nice to be near, but not in the action. There is ample living space and indoor seating as well as a large terrace with various seating options. Stacking glass sliding doors open the living area up completely to the outdoors. We were able to see whales passing by from the terrace. The building has 2 large pools and hot tubs. There is a great gym with new equipment. Other people in the building were friendly. Taxi's and uber's were able to find the property easily. I would highly recommend this property.
Everything was just like the pictures. Loved our time there!

About the host
Hosted by John Poole
I also have 3 luxury condominium properties in Puerto Vallarta and decided to add a luxury villa to the list. I partnered with Michael to purchase Villa Azalea and refresh this gorgeous riverfront destination in a protected natural area. We enjoy pickleball and just added 2 gorgeous (and shaded) pro pickleball courts.
Why they chose this property
The natural beauty of this area is unmatched and is protected.
Nature Lover’s Paradise: Beyond the villa’s amenities, the surrounding area offers a wealth of outdoor activities. Explore nearby hiking trails, go birdwatching, swim in waterfalls, or simply enjoy the beauty of the jungle. The nearby sanctuaries and natural landscapes provide plenty of opportunities to connect with nature.
Ocelot & Guacamaya Sanctuaries Across the Street: Located just steps from the VC, these sanctuaries offer a unique opportunity to learn about and observe the conservation efforts for these fascinating creatures. The Ocelot Sanctuary helps protect this elusive and rare wild cat species, while the Guacamaya Sanctuary is dedicated to preserving the colorful macaws that are native to the region. This rare chance to connect with local wildlife will add an unforgettable dimension to your stay.
Its close proximity to gardens adventures & beaches: Just 3 miles to Puerto Vallarta's world famous Botanical Gardens Just 6 miles from Boca de Tomatlán, where you can enjoy beach access and a water taxi service to destinations like Yelapa, Quimixto, Las Animas, Colomitos, and secluded private beaches. Only 4 miles from Las Juntas y Veranos, offering exciting zip-lining, horseback riding, and more outdoor adventures. For a truly special experience, take a guided hike to the hidden Mismaloya Falls, a private waterfall tucked away in the jungle.
What makes this property unique
Located at a higher elevation in the tropical mountains the temperatures are 5-10 degrees cooler than on the nearby beaches. Along with the natural surroundings and unmatched privacy the location provides a safe environment for group events, celebrations and weddings.
