Budget minded people

First off let me welcome you to the board, you will find some pretty friendly and knowlegable people here. We all have various levels of experiences and knowledge on Vallarta. I think you are on the right path on your search. Now are you and your friend looking to spending $120/pp per night or are you looking to combine your finances for a total of $120/per night.... There are some nice condos for rent in that price range, you can get into some various all inclusive resorts for that price as well... Zona Romantica is a wonderful area... our friends Fred and Sandy have rented two condos in this area, and have loved their experiences... i guess what are you looking for as in night life, restaurants, do you like to walk from point a to point b, or do you want easy access taxis and buses... we are here to help you the best we can....

We are looking to spend $120 total per night as we will be there for 3 nights. We are in our late twenties, so we want to do some night life. So, walking distance to night life and restaurants is definitely a plus.
When we originally booked, we just wanted a quiet place to get away and relax on the beach. But I think we will end up doing much more than that ;) Anyway, thanks for the prompt response.

You stated you originally booked... are you booked or did you cancel and are looking to rebook somewhere? If you are in the Zona Romantica area, you are within walking distance of many nice resturants, tiendas, and the new board walk that will lead you to even more resturants, to the malecon and all the best night spots, restuarants, etc...

If you get a chance look for our friend Sandy (aka sjl330) and check out some of her comments as they have been booking and staying in small condos down in this area that just might be what you are looking for....

again welcome to the board, and good lucking making your vacation a memorable one...

Meza del Mar is a great place for budget-minded vacationers. The location is perfect and I believe the rooms are basic but fine. I have seen it on the outside only but have friends who have happily stayed there.

I will look into all three. I have not booked a housing. Sorry I meant when we booked our flight. Where can I find info on condos?
Thanks for all the help

In the ten plus years that we have been going to PV we always come a few days early, or stay a few days beyond our two weeks at our timeshare in Conchas Chinas. We have used Posada de Roger - Middle of city streets and yes it is noisy. Rooms are adequate and the best breakfast in town is just downstairs. We found that it is a favorite place for many Canadians that travel to PV. We have also stayed, for more than a week, at Vallarta Shores (the south end of Los Muertos, on the beach, just past the Blue Chairs). Room was WONDERFUL. Owners and staff are great. Hope that helps you find a great place. 8)
