The very first time we went to the GCP, we went the last week of Oct. and had a great time. We have had rain in Feb. in Puerto Vallarta so it can happen any time but don't let it ruin your vacation. Tom and I grabbed his golf umbrella and went for a walk along the beach. It was great!!! After all, y...

That is a wonderful story!! It gives me goose bumps and makes me teary eyed just reading it. Any little thing is so appreciated by the Mexican people. One thing that I know was a big hit at the GCP was the Life Saver Creme Savors. I bought like 7 bags and handed them out to the front desk, bellmen, ...

I am a firm believer in the Sun Busters and I fake bake before I go. One thing people tend to forget is that the sun in PVR is a lot more intense than it is in the US. I have seen many people fried and their vacation almost ruined because of sunburns and sun poisoning. It isn't worth risking. It is ...

Jon: Mr. Crown is all talk. :lol: If at all possible, be sure and set aside time for each one evening a week during the week. Tom and I like to call it "date night". We turn off the phones, the TV, and turn on the music, light some candles and have a bottle of wine, sit back, relax and enjoy each ot...

Hola Pauline! Just wanted to check and see if you are booked at the Crown Paradise Club or the Golden Crown Paradise. Both are very nice resorts. We have stayed at the GCP 10 times and are booked to go back Feb. 10 - 24 2007 and can't wait! The CPC is a family all-inclusive and the GCP is an adults-...

Tom and I stayed there when it was the Hotel Sierra and $10 per person sounds very reasonable because you are a good 1/2 hour from the airport. The beaches out in Nuevo Vallarta are great but if you go into town much, that gets expensive and time consuming. I did the bus once going into town and bac...

I can't remember off the top of my head but someone from GCP went to work in Activities/Entertainment at the Canto Del Sol. Not sure if they are still there yet or not. Also, I believe this is where Martin, from the Sunbusters is so LoLa and Maxi, be sure and tell him Hi from Mr. and Mrs. Crown Para...

Something Tom and I always do as soon as we get to PVR is to find the Sunbusters. We both "fake bake" before going but still the sun is very intense down there and you don't want to ruin your vacation with a sun burn or sun poisoning. They are located at the Krystal Hotel but always make their way d...

Hi Deb! I am so excited for you and glad that your doctor loves the GCP and the staff just as much as we do.... :D As a lot of us have been saying all along, a vacation is what you make of it. We love the GCP and the staff!! They are like family to us and mean the world to us. Tom and I have stayed ...

We are planning a family vacation for June 2007. My sister and her family will stay at the Crown Paradise Club and my folks and Mr. Crown and I will stay at the Golden Crown Paradise. I am a very picky person and wouldn't even think of recommending this resort, especially for my niece who is 6 and n...
