Park
The park IS there - it's just different. :wink: All of the shops on the north side facing it are still there as well. For the OP - I've seen HD tshirts from Vallarta many a time, some are cheap and some not so cheap so be particular. I don't recall there being an actual HD merchandise shop anywhere ...

Dreams
Of the 3, Dreams has by and far the best beach. It's a very good choice, IMO, if you must do all inclusive (PV is really a foodie's town, AI is not necessary if you don't want it...now watch the hate rain down on me for saying that LOL). Dreams in PV was originally the Camino Real, so there is an ol...

Taxis
Any taxi can drop off at the airport, only airport taxis can pick up on airport grounds.

Water Anywhere
Ever wonder what you can't see in relation to ANY body of water? Rivers? Lakes? Bays? Tributaries? Nevermind what's floating around in the pools you're in while avoiding the aforementioned ocean...don't ever stop to think what's in there or you'll never swim or get in water again!~ Let's have some p...

Well, I can tell you from VAST experience...as in, I spend almost every single day on Los Muertos on every vacation...that I'm skeptical as H-E-double hockey sticks about their information - where is this supposed sewage being unloaded from? I've been up and down that beach for a decade and other th...

You're aware Wikipedia is written not by experts or a single source, right? It's written and edited by regular people - you, I, lobbyists, lawyers, politicians, scientists, etc. It should be considered in 99% of all cases a dubious source at best for most information, simply because anyone registere...

Regarding spanish, you will come across the odd individual who doesn't speak english (grocery stores, small tiendas, etc.) but for the most part everyone who works in the tourism industry there is semi to fluently bilingual. I do recommend out of politeness and respect to take a small english to spa...

Vacation
how likely am I to need extra time off in order to try to extricate my boys from a Mexican prison??? Do you have a year? Maybe an empty credit card with a large credit balance? I'm only half kidding when I say that. I think your best idea is to recommend in the strongest terms to your 20-something ...

VP
Villa Premiere, all the way. For the extra $200 you get the run of the house of not just one, but both resorts...you wouldn't get that if you book the BV. VP guests can use BV facilities but not vice versa. And it's adult only. Plus it's a small intimate upscale resort that always gets consistently ...

Terminal
The new terminal area is all departures though, not arrivals. At least not yet anyways.
Change into the shorts and sandals, if you don't bus it you'll probably be pulling up to one of the new jetways in the original departure terminal and they are glass...and very warm. LOL

That's a very nice thing to do, good on you. A great example of a way to give back without having to do so by mordida.

Sun Suites
I agree with the previous postings, but just wanted to add you picked a great hotel. It's a little gem on the south side, sparkling clean and so quiet...the owners and staff are top notch, I can't say enough good things about them. I have friends I travel with every year who won't stay anywhere else...

I didn't indicate you said it was awful. I said I was sorry your experiences differed so much from the 3 I have had. If we're being honest I could have said that my 2 experiences at Cafe des Artistes left me cold and I found it a bit pretentious and overdone for what was offered, but that would solv...

Locals
In my experience, most locals don't stay in hotels in PV ... By locals I'm referencing two locals you happen to know personally and very well who work quite extensively in the tourism industry in PV...both of whom have touted the BV's renos as being very good. No reason to take their word for it of...

Buenaventura
Nobody who posts here (regularly or semi-regularly) has been there since Helen was, so I think TA is the best you're going to get. The recent reviews there have been backed up by locals saying the new and improved BV is pretty great, most of us would take that as a good sign I guess...

Most of the time I'd rather slash my tongue and dip it in lye than agree with Darryl, but in this case I do...Mogens, why would you reopen a thread to just allow a "he said/they said" p*ssing match to continue, but have locked down other such threads in the past?

Sorry to hear that, my 3 visits have all been spectacular. Can't wait to add a 4th this fall.Both of our visits to Vista Grill were disappointing...ordinary, really.
