First visit

A buddy and I will be visiting pv for the first time March 15 through 23. Staying in downtown small hotel in Zona Romantica. May want to do a day at larger resort with bigger pool, swim up bar etc., but not sure if day passes are available. We would welcome any other suggestions.
Love this site...have answered a lot of my questions! We are two gay dudes from Southern USA--like to party at gay clubs but also hang with straight folks too...looking forward to a sun and fun filled relaxing week. Any advice would be appreciated.

You might like the Krystal in the north hotel zone. It has a really nice pool with a swim-up bar and I know they do have day passes, alot of the cruise ship passengers go there for the day. The beach in that are is descent, not as rocky as near the Shearton.
Vote Krystal
I agree with Kat, i think you would get a better deal with them for a day pass. they do have a decent beach area, their massages are reasonable, and they have a nice pool and sun deck area as well... enjoy we will be at the GCP down the beach from the Krystal from the 12th - 20th....

enjoy vallarta....
What is typical cost for one hour massage?

Thanks for the information on the Krystal. Perhaps we will check into the the forum when we get to PV and hook up for some drinks....

Thanks again...

Thanks Sandy for the information...we are actually staying at Los Arcos suites...part of the larger Los Arcos resort?? I think there is another property that is also nearby that is owned by the same group of hotels. This is great information as well. Thanks so much.
