Condominio Los Tules

The Resort & Its Setting

Condominio Los Tules is an independent timeshare property in central Puerto Vallarta, affiliated with RCI. Being independent rather than part of a large hotel brand, it has its own character and its own owners' association running the property day to day, while the RCI affiliation gives owners access to a wider exchange network whenever they fancy a change of scenery. Its city-centre position puts owners within easy reach of the beach, the boardwalk and everyday conveniences without needing a car.

Puerto Vallarta: The Area and Things to Do

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's best-established Pacific coast destinations, backed by the Sierra Madre mountains and fronted by Banderas Bay, one of the largest natural bays in the country. From Condominio Los Tules, the Malecón — Puerto Vallarta's famous oceanfront boardwalk lined with restaurants, galleries and bars — is just a short stroll away, as is the Old Town, with its cobblestone streets and colonial-era buildings. Banderas Bay itself is right on the doorstep, offering snorkelling, diving and boat trips, while the Marina District, with its newer restaurants and yacht-lined waterfront, is a quick trip further along the coast. Further afield, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens near Sayulita make for a pleasant half-day out among native and exotic plant collections. The city's long tourism history means restaurants, shops and entertainment are all well established, whatever time of year you visit.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Condominio Los Tules and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Condominio Los Tules is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a big-brand transfer department. Instead, transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or association what the current transfer fee is, whether any right of first refusal applies, and what the annual maintenance fee currently stands at — these figures aren't publicly available, so get them in writing before you close a deal. A resale buyer should also clarify exactly what transfers with the week: typically the usage right and RCI exchange eligibility (if the membership allows it), but not necessarily any accrued points, credits or promotional perks tied to the original purchase.

Renters, meanwhile, are mainly drawn to the location: a central Puerto Vallarta base within walking distance of the Malecón, the Old Town and the bay, which suits travellers who want to be close to restaurants and nightlife rather than tucked away on a quieter stretch of coast.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

December through April is Puerto Vallarta's peak season, with the most reliable weather and the highest demand for weeks here — if you're renting out your week, this is the window to target. The rest of the year runs warmer and wetter, with the Pacific hurricane season from June to October meaning both owners and renters travelling then should carry appropriate travel insurance. Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) serves the city directly, making arrival straightforward for both US and international visitors, and many businesses around the resort accept US dollars alongside pesos.

Exchanging Through RCI

As an RCI-affiliated resort, Condominio Los Tules allows owners to deposit their week into the RCI exchange network and trade it for stays at other RCI resorts worldwide. This is worth factoring into a resale listing, since buyers interested in exchange flexibility — rather than only using the week in Puerto Vallarta — will see this as part of the value.
