the pool area. They had a very obnoxious DJ who started at 10am
so if your looking for a place with a little quiet time this is NOT the place.
We stayed at the Camino Real before it became Dreams and have yet to find
a property in PVR that can compare. We just hate doing the all inclusive.
Fiesta Americana has a great beach and nonAI. The reason I'm on this site is
because there are so many great deals to PVR.I can get a nonstop flight from Chicago and a room at Buenaventura for under $600pp. I might just bring the earmuffs I've been wearing the last 6 mos. : (

Walking around PV day or night I have never had any problems. I always joke and tell everyone I have 100's of eyes watching me so I never feel in danger (those eyes are all the taxi driver's who are waiting for you to signal them that you want a ride). LOL. My only cautions to you walking at night are the same cautions I am sure you would take at home. Stay off of dark, deserted streets and don't walk along the dark beach at night. Otherwise walk all you want, you will not have any problems.

The people are so friendly and helpful you will really be missing the ambiance of PV if you sit in your resort the entire time. There are a ton of neat shops, art, statues, sand sculptures to look at. Dreams is a nice resort and has a great beach, if you decide to stay there you can either take a bus or taxi to get into town so if you decide on Dreams make sure you go see the sights it is perfectly safe and comfortable for women traveling alone.
The Grand Marival is in Nuevo Vallarta, not Puerto Vallarta so you are about a 20 to 30 minute taxi ride away from PV if you decide you want to do any sightseeing. IMHO Nuevo does not have the Mexican ambiance that PV has, it is all huge hotels and more like a very quiet version of Miami Beach.
So if you open yourself up to seeing PV and not staying in a resort your entire trip, it will make it even harder for you to decide where to stay!
Alot of people stay at the Crown Paradise/Golden Crown Paradise, which is another AI option and I am sure someone will post about it. It is AI but it is in a location that makes it a little easier for you to enjoy the real PV.

I found this forum to be a huge help. I am traveling with a friend to PV in June or July for a girls getaway. We are having a very hard time deciding where to stay. We are both in our 30's and would like to stay at a fun, but not too wild AI. We are looking for nice beach relaxation in the day and a little fun entertainment at nite. We were looking at the Dreams, which seems to have not so much going on at nite and the Grand Marival.
any suggesstions??? This is becoming so stressful trying to find the right place.
BTW, we are planning on pretty much staying on the resort, unless some daytime stuff is really close, since we are goin w/out hubbies, we thought this would be safest. So we really need a fun type AI.
Thanks so much!!
