Re:CROWN PARADISE AGAIN..#10
Ya know what...that's what drew Bob & I to the Crown Paradise for the 1st time (1998). That and the fact that the FunJet package price was within our price range. Boy, little did we know what a super bargain it was. You're right when you say you get familiar with the grounds and the staff. We feel l...

Re:Another time at the Crown Paradise
Try the other new restaurant at the Playa. They have very good food, nice atmosphere & great service. We ate there twice when we stayed at the Crown in September. The Japanese place is a buffet (at least that's what I heard) & is only open at night. We kept thinking we were going to try it but the f...

Re:CROWN PARADISE AGAIN..#10
Dog-gone it Chuck! Lucky you & Kay! Glad to hear you were able to book a package to go back to the Crown for a 10th stay. Guess when you have the money to spend, you can indulge yourself in luxury. Bob & I hope to return for our 6th stay in September of October, 2004. Us "poor folk" must save, & dre...

Re:Crown Paradise Pool and Beach Area
How do you guys manage to go for 14 days at a time? One time Bob & I were able to stay for 10 days (that was in April, 1999). We really thought we'd died & gone to heaven that time! Anyway, most charter packages in September/October from Chicago O'Hare are for 7 days or 14 days & we just can't swing...

Re:Since we are talking about Crown Paradise
Okay...okay! Bob & I haven't done the wave runners, kayaks, wind surfers, etc., but if you want our opinion about the food & service, THAT we can promote non-stop. We've been at the Crown Paradise five times (once a year, 'cause we're "poor folks"). The staff will show you how to use the wind surfer...

Crown Paradise & Vendor Huts on the beach
A question was asked about the huts just up the beach from the Crown Paradise. They ARE still intact since Hurricane Kenna. We just returned from our 5th visit at the Crown on October 5. I swear most of the stuff in those huts are the same as when we were there the 1st time 6 years ago. Also, many o...

Dog-gone, there's no way Bob & I can return to the Crown again in February. We just returned from our 5th visit on October 5th. We try to go each year around the end of September to early October and we celebrate our anniversary. Boy...two weeks, as well! How do you manage that??? One year we went i...

Bob & I just returned last night. It was another fabulous stay at the Crown. Ana was on holiday, so we missed her, however we had corresponded with her via e-mail before we left home. Danny Boy, Dani, Aldo, Mariana & many of the other staffers are still there. We felt like we had returned to family....

Hi Honeybee, I've been watching the other board & all the Wisconsinites wanting to get together in Madison. Is the date still November 8th? Where did you finally decide to have this get together? Bob & I are kinda old (53 & 50) & are not big "party hearties". How old are all you guys? Sounds like a ...

We head to PV & the Crown Paradise on Sunday
Well...the days have ticked down & we can finally say we will arrive in Puerto Vallarta for our 5th stay at the Crown Paradise on Sunday, 9/28. Why does it seem to take forever for a vacation to come, but once you're there, time flies by and it's time to go home? Oh well...Bob & I are truly looking ...

Thanks for the web-site info. Sounds like Linda is weakening & turning away. That's good news. Hey, Chuck! Bob & I will say "hi" to Dani for you. We look forward to seeing him each year, as well. We'll toast a drink to you & your bride, how's that? I will be contacting Ana early next week to request...

Where's tropical storm Linda?
Bob & I are returning the end of this month to beautiful Puerto Vallarta for our 5th stay at the Crown Paradise. Last year we spent a week at the CP about 3 weeks BEFORE hurricane Kenna hit. So...now we hear on the weather reports that tropical storm Linda is lurking out in the Pacific. She doesn't ...

Re:anyone been to club viva vallarta?
We drove by the Viva Vallarta last fall to pick up a group of guests going on the same tour we were. It looks like a nice property with lots of land and well kept buildings, but it is quite a distance from the malecon. Keep in mind that the farther you are away from town, the more the taxi fare is t...

Re:crown paradise beach for snorkeling
Snorkeling in September is not very good, no matter where you are in Puerto Vallarta. The mountains spill the run-off from the rain water into the ocean, which causes a brownish color to the water. Someone who has snorkeled at the end of the rainy season might be able to direct you to an island that...

Bob & I woke up this morning to 54 degree temperatures & busses taking kids back to school. Fall is here & before we know it, snow will be flying in Wisconsin. Ah...26 days & we're back in Paradise at the Crown for our 5th visit. We are looking forward to spending our 33rd wedding anniversary with o...

This hotel is only a short drive from the airport & pretty close to the local "Sam's Club", if that's your thing. I agree with mhahn about trying to cross the 4 lane road. Boy...Bob & I thought ...

About the resort...it is not on a large parcel of land. However, they make use of every bit that there is. It is immaculately maintained, has soft & eye pleasing decor, and offers everything you need to create fabulous vacation memories (about 200 rooms). The disco across the street offers nightly t...

Re:7 weeks & counting till visit #5 at Crown P
It's a nice, sandy beach. Lots of walking room up & down it. Snorkeling is not very good much of the year. 1st...because of the rainy season causing the run-off from the mountains, and 2nd...because it is near the ship terminal where the cruise ships come & go. Watch the flag warnings, as there can ...
