Lindo Mar Resort

I am coming to Puerto Vallarta July 29th and am wondering how the Lindo Mar Resort and Costa Vida Vallarta are? How far are they from each other and which one is better?

Right around the corner from the Lindo Mar, (to the right when facing ocean) is an awesome beach! More sand! Nice little coves, good snorkeling.

I prefer the Lindo Mar, closer to town, you can walk it...or catch the bus right there across the street.
Trading Places has some incredible deals for Lindo Mar.
