The Mariates Island, what was the best way to get there and how expensive was it. I hope to do a lot of snorkling, if at all possible. And the jungle adventure, could it be romantic at all?

Re: Viva Vallarta Resort - Can you tell me about the food, the rooms, would you consider this to be a 5 start resort? Would children like it?
I am considering this resort, but not sure..... Also taking friends that have never been to Mexico before... Any info would be helpful...

hi susan, i was just there for 4 weeks had a great time. we went to the mariates/whale watching/snorkling. what we did was take the bus to punta de mita(18 pesos)then hired a panga for two hours(six of us 700pesos,you have to barter for the price) it was great,lots of whales,we was about 10 feet away from them,abit scary,i think the technical term for them is big suckers. then we went snorkeling, a great day.

Panga is a small boat w/ outboard motor. Usually uncovered, and used as water taxis and on excursions.
