Re:Golden Crown Paradise is still Paradise
No sour grapes! Different strokes for different folks! Everyone has a right to their own opinion. I appreciate those of you that have made multiple visits to the Golden Crown Paradise. Don't worry...Bob & I will still be revitalized by each of your posts and experiences. Sometimes a negative respons...

Re:Golden Crown Paradise is still Paradise
Point well-taken, Justone. You're right...Christians can be dishonest and underhanded, too. Just look at our two presidential candidates! I guess people can choose to believe what they want to. I've learned that good intentions and the willingness to offer info to other vacationers only succeeded in...

Re:Golden Crown Paradise is still Paradise
Well...since I'm the one that started this thread, I'll be the one to put the end to the insinuation that repeaters look for upgrades. That's a bunch of hogwash! Bob & I return each year because we love the resort, the people, the service, and the location. I AM guilty of watching the FunJet website...

Horses on the beach at sunset
I have read posts that riding on the beach is not encouraged or technically allowed. However, I must say that my short run up & down the beach between Krystal Vallarta & Playa De Oro last week was very fun. I opted for a 20 minute jaunt and since I had shorts on and tennies that was a good decision ...

Timeshare? They're still there!
Just a heads up that the time share sharks are still out in full force at the airport. It sure would be helpful if the airlines would warn people before they get off the plane to only talk to the representatives holding up their FunJet or Apple or whatever signs. We talked to a very nice older coupl...

Golden Crown Paradise is still Paradise
Bob & I just returned from our 6th stay in as many years, celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. We were surprised by a hand painted sign (with the Crown Paradise logo on it) placed outside our room saying "Casa, MODROW". It was a very special touch and the maid reminded us to take it home at the...

Re:6 Days Till Crown Paradise-Need to contact Paula!
I heard back from Paula this morning & she received my e-mail with no problem. Now Bob & I just have to wait the last few days. Have you ever noticed how slow time goes by when you are waiting for time to pass? Oh well...I have one more day of work and then we pack up for a Park N Stay Hotel package...

Re:6 Days Till Crown Paradise-Need to contact Paula!
Thanks, charfishie & glory! I will try via e-mail. I hate to call. Bob & I booked an oceanfront room and would like one on a "higher" floor. All oceanfront rooms face the ocean. We just hope to be above the palm trees & higher away from the bar below. No matter what, we are excited and will have a g...

6 Days Till Crown Paradise-Need to contact Paula!
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock the days are counting down to fun! Bob & I leave from Chicago O'Hare this Saturday for our 6th stay at the Crown Paradise in as many years. I need to touch base with Paula before we arrive & I'm not sure of her direct e-mail address. So...Tom & Lorrie or Chuck or any of the other...

Re:Hurricane Javier
Thanks for the info! You know how it is. As the days tick down, and the anticipation builds, ya start to worry about the weather, cause you only can be in Puerto Vallarta for that one week. Bob & I have seen some spectacular thunder & lightening storms when we've been there. Two years ago, we were a...

Hurricane Javier
Anybody out there have any info on how Hurricane Javier is expected to impact Puerto Vallarta? We are arriving on 9/25 and are just wondering if it will brush close enough to cause any wind damage or storm surge.

Golden Crown Paradise Manager, Ignacio
Well, in 2 weeks (9/25) Bob & I will be returning to "paradise" for our 6th stay in as many years at the Golden Crown Paradise. It's funny how it seems like time drags on while waiting to go and then flys by once there. Anyway, thanks to Tom & Lorrie (Mr. & Mrs. Crown Paradise) for the insight on ho...

Re:Urgent info needed Crown Paradise
Hi Tom & Lorrie, Is Roberto the new front desk person that replaced Marianna? We've been wondering who would greet us this year. The first year we stayed at the Crown, they gave us a room with a kitchen, living area & separate bedroom. At that time we were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary & ...

Hi Tom & Lorrie, How did you meet up with Ignacio the first time. This will be Bob's & my 6th stay and we have never had the pleasure of meeting him. We'd enjoy chatting with him sometime while we're down there, but don't want to impose on his busy schedule. We're looking forward to our return visit...

Hey...Hilland...congratulations on your wedding, anyway. Hope you have a happy life together. You're right...different strokes for different folks. We're celebrating 34 years of marriage when we go next month (I was 17 & Bob was 20 when we got married). You must admit, the sunsets were beautiful, we...

As a multi-repeater to the Golden Crown Paradise (and returning again for a 6th time the end of September), I was unhappy to read about your experience there. Bob & I have ALWAYS found the staff to be friendly and willing to do whatever it takes to make our stay memorable. We have seen weddings perf...

Re:Tipping Thoughts at the Golden Crown Paradise
That's a good idea, Jenny Bean. When we left the Crown last fall, we really wanted to send back some Danish Kringles from our home town of Racine, Wisconsin for the staff to enjoy. Kringles are really only main in Racine and are really yummy! The bakeries in town ship kringles all over the world. Un...
