B3 - A TRUE 5-Star Upscale
ALL-INCLUSIVE OCEANfront Mini-Resort•Villa!!

G1

G1Upon arrival into the Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) you are met while STILL INSIDE the Customs area by a representative of B3 who helps usher you through the customs process!! After clearing customs, you are escorted to the Airport VIP room where B3's shuttle service awaits you (this is a VERY rare & EXCLUSIVE service!!) whisked away 35 minutes north - past Nuevo Vallarta & small villages - to B3's villa compound located on a secluded stretch of a beautiful silky•sugary white sand beach in Punta Careares (between the 4-Seasons Resort in Punta de Mita & Higuerra Blanca). This is where you'll find Vallarta's ONLY TRULY 5-star All-Inclusive Mini-Resort Villa where attention to YOU • PAMPERING • Privacy & Details is their utmost priority!!!

Dining is one of the MOST elegant & memorable experiences at B3!! Unlike most all-inclusives, B3 gives you the QUALITY, Taste, Service & Presentation you're accustomed to with their Los Angeles trained CHEF!!! Breakfast is cooked to order & includes FRESH squeezed orange juice & HOMEMADE tortillas, breads & pastries! Enjoy a tapas (light) lunch by the pool. Each day their chef changes the menu bringing you the freshest catches of the day & whatever he creates!!! Organically grown fruits & vegetables are grown locally & most herbs are grown on the property!! Dine under their open palapa dining area. Good quality alcohol is used & drinks are UNLIMITED (unless you're abusing it & bothering other guests & staff) & NOT watered down like many all-inclusives!!

Sprawl on one of the chaise lounges ("camastros") built IN the shallow end of their Heated Pool (when it's needed) or on a regular chaise by the pool. Cool down on a stool IN the water sipping Margaritas at their Swim-Up Bar shaded by a big palapa (palm leaf giant umbrella). Take long strolls or ride horses on the pristine, secluded, sugary whitefish sand beach (DOIN IT RIGHT GUEST ONLY receive 2 COMPLIMENTARY hours horseback riding. Subject to change). Work off all that WONDERFUL food in their very open Mini-Gym (a full multi-station workout with free weights).

Each of the seven 600 square feet Suites•Rooms (a sixth is available when renting the whole property only) has a King or Queen size Pillow-Top Mattress bed with luxurious 270 (minimum) thread count, 100% Cotton LinensRomantic Canopy Netting surrounds your bed!!!Dimmer-controlled Lighting helps set your mood Floor-to-ceiling Glass Doors fold back to revel spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean off your Private Balcony • Hand-carved Furniture • FULLY STOCKED Mini-Refrigerators in-suite • comfy embroidered Robes Remote-controlled, whisper quiet Air-Conditioning as well as Remote-controlled Ceiling Fans Electronic Safe • CD Player•Clock Radio & High Ceilings!! Some Suites•Rooms have an outdoor living area set amongst tropical gardens!!

Each Suite•Room has a Private Bathroom with soft, oversized 100% cotton towels (rare to find GOOD quality towels in the tropics!!)Spacious Walk-In Showers (with individual on-demand water heaters!) & hand-painted Talavera fixtures (each with a different theme). There are NO tv's or phone's, no time-share hustlers or beach vendors or traffic to disturb you at this tropical getaway!!! Our land operator Diana "stopped by" B3 one day unannounced claiming at first just to be a potential client (the proper way to inspect•check out the REAL condition of a property) & found the place VERY CLEAN & the staff VERY ATTENTIVE & the food they served VERY tasty!!! She felt it was definitely deserving of an upscale rating!!!

The water system throughout the complex is purified & pressurized. Maid service is 7 days a week!!

Rare as it is, you even have access to the golf & tennis facilities at the Four Seasons Punta Mita Resort (normally Greens first priority is reserved for guests of this 5-star resort starting out at $450/night for JUST a room resort! There is a fee for this extra service).

This area gives you a VERY tropically feel with 2 small villages within a mile & half (your hosts will run you if they're available). The village of Sayulita (known for great surfing) is 15 minutes north!

The owners/staff go into Vallarta many times during the week & are happy to drop you off when they do. Staff will drive you in for clubbing at night for a REALLY NICE tip (a taxi would probably cost you at least $30+ each way).

B3 is a WONDERFUL place to hold a Wedding or Commitment Ceremony!! it's been the backdrop of numerous photo-shoots & special parties•events!!

On-site Massage • Facials • Manicures & Pedicures are available (for an additional fee as this is an outside service).

With a full time staff of 10 (in Peak season), you can be assured that hospitality & attention to detail are not compromised at B3. Whether you choose to lounge by the pool with a good book, or sip your favorite tropical cocktail with your partner under one of the palapas, your hosts at B3 promise that you'll have one of the most tranquil & relaxing vacation ever. Privacy is your desire - they'll honor that!! If Pampering & Attention makes you feel good - the WONDERFUL staff is there to assist you!!!

There is no computer access at the resort as there is no land-line phone service in this neighborhood yet. They do have cellular phone service & one of the staff members goes into Vallarta almost daily to check his e-mail so you can often tag along with!!

What They're Saying

"We really enjoyed B3. Highly recommend it if you want a quiet, secluded beach vacation. Would be a good celebrity hideout. If you are looking for action, crowded beaches, bars, nightlife, etc., stay in PV.

Rooms are super nice: beautifully tiled bathrooms and extra large showers. Stocked mini-fridge; in-room safe; air conditioning; fans; balcony.

Food is excellent. So good, in fact, that they take dinner reservations from guests at the nearby Four Seasons Resort, who come to B3 for the fabulous beach front sunset, cocktails and dinner.

The beach is quiet, almost deserted. They will provide snorkeling gear and boogie boards on request. Most of the properties on this beach are single family homes, so there is almost no one around.

If you want to get away from it all, this is the place to go."
