Travel Tips

Puerto Vallarta!

I absolutely love love LOVE it there! The bay is BEAUTIFUL, and there are great sightseeing opportunities. Also, there are plenty of spots for great nightlife. Some of the clubs are expensive to get into--it'll run you about 30 to 40 US dollars--but they seem to think that it is worth it because it is open bar. In my opnion, it isn't worth it. Instead, depending on where in town you stay (I 'm afraid I can't offer any help with good places to stay, I use timeshare, but I'm sure you can get good deals), go to the marina. They have some great local spots with really cheap drinks and food, and the atmosphere is way better.

If you want great shopping, the best place to go is anywhere downtown. Along the boardwalk, there are all these great shops. Also, I don't think that I've ever been down there without having seen a street fair of sorts!

As far as site seeing, go to your hotels specialist. Most hotels run discounts for their guests. You will find a bunch of people along the streets, but they will charge you more. There is a tour that goes out to Los Arcos, which is one of the best attractions. Los Arcos are these three coves that have been formed naturally by the sea waves, and the boat that goes out there offers snorkeling and scuba. The sea life there is gorgeous, so be sure to bring a camera!

Hope this helps! And whichever vacation you choose, have a great time!

Adios!

Both are nice but Cabo has gotten very VERY expensive! Food alone will break you in Cabo.
i like more puerto vallarta, but los cabos is more beautiful
Cabo's changed so much it's like going to so. Cali (I live here). It's become so xpensive & the fun, adventure, a boating retreat it once was is all gone. It's so touristy. Besides, u can b raped there and the police won't to a damn thing. Matter of fact, there's a good chance the police are the one's doing the raping.

GO TO THE BEACHES IN COSTA RICA!!!! At the beaches, there's no crime (compared to Mexico), no gangs, no corrupt cops, the beaches are fab, not to xpensive (yet). Wicked time!!!
go to pvr insted of cabos its more of a lot to do place unless you like fishing life style then cabos is the rite spot...pvr is more of a relaxing and variety of adventurous area... You should try Huatulco....
