Can anyone give me any inside information regarding Rancho Banderas Vacation Villas. We are considering going there next July. We have 2 teenage sons and we need to make sure they will enjoy themselves.

Here is a thread on RB from last year.

Also, if my calculation is correct board member sandib should be there right now, so hopefully when she returns, she will be able to fill you in and answer your questions.
wonderful vacation
Hi all, we are back from our WAY TOO SHORT vacation. Yes, we own at Rancho and have been going back every year for the past 4 years. Your teenage sons should have a blast. You are kind of \"secluded\" (no big stores, shopping, entertainment, etc.) but that is why we enjoy it so much, get away from the crowds. There are two \"swimming\" pools and two \"lounging\" pools (chairs in about 1 ft of water, ahhh heaven). For your boys, there are activities at the resort such as pool vollyball, boogie boards, etc. They will enjoy the pools and especially the beaches. The beach is one of the best beaches in the area, not really crowded at that time of year. We went in July of last year and in August of this year. It does get a little hot but the afternoon rain storms are awesome. The restaurant is as casual (no swimwear) or as fancy as you want to get. They have dinner specials every night (ie mexican fiesta night, bbq night, lobster night, etc.) Check out ranchobanderas.com and you can see what it looks like and what they have to offer. I also have TONS of pics if you are interested in looking at them. Just send me a pm and I will TRY to send them to you. Seems I always have problems sending pics via email but am always willing to try. By the way, vacation this year was awesome as usual. Ate and drank way too much, too much sun hahaha, isnt that what PV is all about? Will post a trip report if I can ever get unburied from the paperwork at work!!! :wink: Think we will be going in July or September next year, maybe see ya there! I can get you all the info you want on RB, just let me know! Thanks and have fun planning your trip! :lol: 8) Sandi
