Pacific Home

Getting to Pacific Home is part of the experience. You drive deep into the hills above Puerto Vallarta, past the point where the pavement ends and the cobblestone takes over, then past where the cobblestone gives way to dirt road. There are no signs out front, just a tall gate set into a large building. But the moment that gate opens, the road behind you disappears and you step into a lush, private property full of gardens, fluffy bunnies sunbathing, and a cool, fresh tropical climate created by the jungle pressed right up against the walls. Because the community sits at the foot of the mountain, the rooms also look out over Puerto Vallarta and the ocean. It’s a microclimate you don’t find anywhere else in the city.

Pacific Home is owned and personally run by Dr. Alejandro Rosales, who also runs his own medical clinic in Fluvial and serves as the residence’s medical director. All the sanitation and municipal permits are displayed in the dining room, fully updated for 2026, and the residence keeps a serious amount of medical equipment on site for any emergency. The community is designed to offer three levels of care under one roof: independent living, assisted living, and a dedicated memory care wing for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia, where a nurse is always present and the bathrooms are adapted for residents with mobility limitations.

The property is built around an enormous central garden. At the back, you’ll find the pool, the gym, the dining room, and a TV lounge. There are two kitchens: one private for the in-house cook, who knows every resident’s dietary needs and prepares meals accordingly, and an open communal kitchen where residents can host their families and friends. A new wing of rooms with ocean views is currently being added above the common area, and the existing rooms on the right side of the property are spacious and finished with parota wood, not cheap materials. Wide, gentle ramps make the whole property accessible, and an elevator connects the floors of the main building.
What really sets Pacific Home apart is how much it adapts to the people who live there. One long-time resident has a custom apartment with its own private elevator, designed around her needs and budget so she could have more space without sacrificing care. Another resident keeps her rescue dog with her and the staff helps walk him while she ages alongside him. Rooms are decorated to each resident’s taste, and the team works around individual requests rather than asking residents to fit into a rigid template.
