Be sure to understand the beach situation
We recently stayed in this unit - which is very comfortable and nice. It has lovely views of the marina and the pool; we had plenty of room. A few things to note: the DVD player doesn't work, the internet access is temperamental; you have to purchase everything, including dish and laundry soap. Maria Luisa is very helpful.
In Nuevo Vallarta, there is absolutely NO beach access without paying for it. We understood that we could use the Playa Royale Beach Club (for $15 per person per day), but we didn't understand that we *had* to use it. The Occidental Grand is also available for $55 per person per day (food/drink included until 4 pm). The security guard at the Playa Royale refused to let us in, and we spent several hours trying to sort it out.
So, if you want to even walk on the beach, realize that the Marina Residences are difficult.
