Back in Washington, DC, after spending 8 amazing days in the Andrew Christian Sky House (25 Feb - 4 Mar). 2nd time staying in the Sky House. See previous review. We once stayed in the AC Townhouse. Sky House by far has the better hot tub and stunning view out to the bay. And what about the sunsets from the balcony/hot tub! Felipa our house keeping attendant, amazing. 179 is finally complete, stunning. However, we would never stay. Due to the fact that they don’t have hot tubs on the balcony. When we last came it was being built and the construction noises were unbearable. Were they early morning starts of construction at other buildings, yes. Remember, PV is getting more progressive and trying to keep up with all the travelers flocking to PV. Pinnacle 180 is our only choice when traveling to PV. 5 times in less than 2.5 years. We only wish the staff would take note on returning guest and maybe provide a bottle of wine waiting in the condo or a personalize note welcoming your loyal returning guest. Something so simple and inexpensive goes such a long way with your reoccurring guests. Just a thought. Pinnacle see you back in about 6 months. PS: The pictures posted, exterior views and the hot tub on the balcony.

We’ve stayed at Pinnacle many times, and keep coming back for several reasons. First, the location, which is ideal for our tastes: in the heart of the Zona Romántica, walking distance from the beach and our favorite restaurants, yet slightly removed from the noisier parts of town. Then, the suites themselves, which in our experience have always been immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and supplied with everything we need except actual food: dishes and cutlery, kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, etc., and often a good view (this time we spent time in two different suites, one with partial ocean view and the other with a full view, which was just beautiful). The pool and bar service are also important for us. And that brings us to another key factor: the service. From Margarito, who helps us with our luggage and getting a taxi and always greets us warmly and takes good care of us; to Verónica, who used to bar tend at Pinnacle Chic (she makes great drinks) and now is a supervisor at Pinnacle 180’s bar and pool area and is always fun, friendly, and capable; to the professional reception staff, room cleaning team, and efficient maintenance man (we didn’t need his help this time, but he’s fixed our air conditioning in the past and is always there when you need him). My only complaint (which I also have mentioned more than once to the staff) is the cheap, rough toilet paper in some of the suites. The restrooms in the lobby use a high quality brand, but the bedrooms we stayed in this time and some other rooms we’ve used in the past have the cheapest brand available, which can even be painful to use. Still, Pinnacle is where we have stayed more than anywhere else in Puerto Vallarta, and it’s likely to remain that way.

We were 2 couples and stayed in the Andrew Christian Penthouse suite called PH 1. We will request this room for our next stay. The unit had a washer and dryer which we used. There was an auto drip coffee maker and full-size fridge with ice maker which was handy for cocktails. The design was modern with 2 good sized rooms, one with ensuite bath, the other bath was across the hall from bedroom 2. There were AC units in both bedrooms and living area. Daily housekeeping was appreciated. For us, the main amenity was the balcony which is where we spent most of our time. The large space contained a hot tub which could be adjusted to very hot or mild which was perfect. There was a long bar height table with barstools. The views are wonderful and we enjoyed from this unit you overlooked the water, town and the mountains, it was the best of all words. There is some ongoing construction in the area but this is true for much of PV and did not bother us from this unit. The lobby pool and bar are beautiful and service was good as well. Note: the sun does not hit the pool area until 1pm so that is when we would secure our loungers. Happy Hour is hopping from 5:30-8 and drinks are 2 for 1. This location is walking distance to everything, a few times we Uber-ed back in the evening. There are a few flights of stairs to get to the building but we did not mind them. When we carried back groceries we took the funicular up the hill to the property. We can't wait to return.
