We stayed there October 2005- hope you have a room in the new tower, we did and it was a very very nice room with a beuatiful view, the rooms in the older section (we saw when using the \"hospitality room\") were not that great. the beach is a cove like area very nice. We enjoyed the buffet restaurant more than the reservation dinner restauants. I know that is hard to belive but the food we had at the reservation restauants was not all that good. We did enjoy our stay but would not probably go again, but everyone has a different experience. Puerto Vallarta is so great I am sure you will enjoy your vacation.
