my first PV visit

Started May 21, 2002 · 2,374 views · 2 posts
Got back form P.V. on Sat 5/18, what a blast! Beautiful people and a great town to explore. I had my best dinner at the Blue Shrimp, but also enjoyed Dolce Vita, and De Santos. The only advice i have to others who go is to: explore on your own, take the bus( its an experience ) and dont ever ever ever go a Mayan Palace Time share presentation. 4HRS!!!! Then they treated you horribly if you didnt buy. Talk to the locals and try your spanish, they are very receptive and we made some great friends with the locals. For partyin, we liked the Santamaria adn Christines on thursdays. Pipis margaritas crushed me, estes son muy fuerte! Weather was great and everyone was soo friendly, buy cheap beers at the supermercado and not the hotel. Also dont drink tequila and try to scale fences. Enjoy!

Re:my first PV visit
Its simple, if you had just bought the timeshare they would have treated you much better! Its good that you managed to have a great time despite the setback.
