Questions, answered

Amapas 353 is on the hillside in Amapas, one block above Los Muertos Beach in Puerto Vallarta. From the front door of Unit 21 it is 85 steps down to the sand at Mantamar Beach Club. The condo is not beachfront: it trades the shoreline for the view, the quiet and the breeze, with the beach, the pier and the Romantic Zone all reachable on foot in minutes.

It is the same condo. The Two Bedroom is the whole unit: the master suite with its ensuite bath and garden patio, plus the ocean-view bedroom with its own terrace. The One Bedroom is the same stay at a gentler rate with the master suite locked off: guests have the ocean-view bedroom, the terrace, the living room, kitchen and every shared space. Services are identical.
