In its hey-day - this eclectic European style decor, more upscale, "Mexatarranean Villa" B&B was a favorite of the Hollywood & designer crowd & was used in "Revenge" with Kevin Costner & Anthony Quinn as well as many fashion shoots. Past celeb guests included Perry Ellis & many others!

G3 has been awarded the "Editor's Choice Award for Elegance & Style" from Out & About a few times!!!

New owners came in a few years ago & spruced & cleaned up & refurbished this villa though they've maintained its unique atmosphere!!

Built & created by it's VERY original owner Silver, this "whimsical antiquity by the sea" offers you 7 VERY UNIQUE suites, each cluttered with antiques, interesting "junque," curios & original art - each with their own living room or sitting area, kitchenette (unless indicated), ceiling fans (because of the openness of this property, only a 3 suites have air-conditioning) & a special private bathroom. Most suites are very romantic.

Mid-level is the Common Area where everyone comes together to make new friends to explore Vallarta with & enjoy your complimentary full breakfast cooked to order Mon.-Sat. from 9-10am in the sitting room or on the terrace or palapa-roofed dining area offering you gorgeous bay views!

G3 - Quinta Maria Cortez hugs the hillside down 7 flights of stairs (no elevator), passing a small dipping pool & sun deck onto to a rocky beach (there are sandy areas nearby) on a cove on Conchas Chinas Beach (the area just south of Old Town/SouthSide/Muertos Beach), G3 - Quinta Maria Cortez is close to tide pools - perfect for wading. A terrace fronting the beach supports Roman columns draped in ivy & has chairs for taking in the sunset.

You're just a few minutes by taxi & about a 15-20 minute hike to the Southern end (Blue/Green Chairs) of Old Town/SouthSide/Muertos & another 10-15 minute walk to the clubs, Restaurant Row & shopping - the heart of OT/SS!!

Suites #3 & #4 are the best for someone with mobility/stairs issues that still wants to enjoy the villa!!

G3 - Quinta Maria Cortez is great for couples wanting a wonderful romantic getaway or solo's needing a relaxing place to escape!!
