I can’t tell you how pleased we were with the weather we didn’t have a bad day at all and the days with cloudy periods most of the cloud had burned off by early afternoon so you usually had a full afternoon of sunshine. Most evenings it cooled off but it was still
t-shirts and shorts.

Canto del Sol Resort.
As resorts go it was fine the rooms were clean the resort it self was clean. Unfortunately for us are room was behind the kitchen so when you came back for the evening you didn’t want to sit on the balcony because of the smell. We didn’t change are room because we were seldom there. As for AI or not AI I guess it depends on the person.
We did AI just because we had friends that came down AI was the way go.
Are second week down I think we ate breakfast in the hotel twice. My only complaint about the hotel was the food we didn’t find it very good and I should clarify that was only the evening meals we didn’t make reservation for the other restaurant in the resort so I can’t comment on it. When we come down to PV we don’t due AI due to the amount of places that there are to eat and we try every time to go to different restaurants that we have never been to before. If you are going down to the Canto any time soon please note that they are renovating the south side of the hotel i.e. redoing the rooms so there is some jack hammer noise some dust but when the music starts and the pool activities start you won’t even notice that they are doing anything its just in the morning that you notice it.
If you are people that like to be active and do things i.e. go down town go out at night
be prepared to walk a lot as it is a twenty minute walk just to the beginning of downtown.
If not it’s 60 peso’s downtown and back again six bucks is not much but do it every day some days twice a day it adds up real quick. If you are resort people that don’t go downtown very much and like to hang at the resort then you will like the Canto like I said it’s comfortable and it’s clean.




Eating Out.

Having a evening meal in PV does not have to be expensive this trip down we have had a wide varity of place’s to eat we have gone from 50 peso meals with beers to 1400 peso meals depending on what you are looking for. Most places that you walk by will have there menu displayed so you can see what they have to offer. Don’t be fooled by appearance either some places may look iffy but they make up for it in food taste portions and service. If you are unsure ask people where you are staying most go out once or twice for a meal and if they liked it they will tell you. Another thing to do is find a dining guide
Ares’ was in the room so we used it a few times..

All in short it was a great two weeks. As of today we are booking the next trip down in February. And for all the people going down for the first time or repeaters enjoy we did.
