Theft
Our strong feelings about this incident are within the norm for people who have this kind of experience. Nobody is disputing that. As I noted upthread, I've been there. IN Vallarta. However you shouldn't let it colour your perception of the city or even the neighbourhood - heck, my theft came in a ...

Day Passes
True day passes are available at several hotels for those that want to use the pools. Plus the Tropicana and Lindo Mar will let you use their pools as long as you purchase drinks/snacks at their snack bar or restaurant facilities (the happy hour at the Lindo Mar alone is worth the price and the trip...

Chair Saving
The way I look at it is, if someone hasn't come to claim the chair inside of 3 hours - the towel is gonzo. That's what I did, what I've always done, and if someone comes back and b*tches about it I make sure to point out very loudly that the towels have been there since "X" hour, they have not occup...

Time of Year
I'm going to add that the time of year also probably has more to do with it than the restaurant. Easter is notoriously known as a higher theft/pickpocket/purse snatching time of year - most of the thieves are transient, coming into PV in the weeks leading up to the holiday from other places and taki...

Massage
Does anybody know of a place on the south side for massages? Do most of them stay open year around? I saw a salon for manicure/pedicures but can't remember if they did massage too. The aforementioned Metamorfosis. On Francisco Rodriguez, about 30 paces inward from Olas Altas and the Cafe San Angel ...

Hotel
This hotel has always accepted gay couples, but if by gay oriented you mean has it gone to a gay only hotel? No. It's still actively being sold in Canada by every major tour operator online and off, which means it's still considered "all persons welcome". That said, from my 3 past stays here my best...

Maybe in your mind. In 99% of the rest of the population they would see that as a compliment, and that's EXACTLY what it was and nothing more.
Don't start another fight, huh?

Taste
Easy answer - because gay men are known worldwide for their very good taste in home decor. Now the hard answer - Cgyguy, you're probably going to want to hit the forums that are more heavily populated with expats and locals than this one is; those types of forums and message boards generally have a ...

Transportation
The most economical way isn't always the most practical way, as the most economical is the bus and to get to Conchas Chinas would require two of them plus a good hike...so unless you plan on taking very small luggage or only a backpack, probably not the way you want to go. I recommend an airport tax...

As it happens I've dined at Vista Grill in August...they have ceiling fans and floor fans, along with being high enough up to take advantage of any breezes. We were all quite comfortable during dinner, even in the height of summer and rainy season. And yes, the view at night is nothing short of spec...

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back over one question there. LOL
BTW, hate to point it out but the sidetracker was you. A little stiff competition never hurt anyone, so don't be hatin'.

Global vs. Local
Might have something to do with the average 17 million people a week who globally access that site to plan trips and post reviews for cities worldwide.Why post on Trip Advisor when there's PuertoVallarta.net!
Just a guess of course.

Desayuno
Regular breakfast menu at La Playita, Lindo Mar Resort. The brunch on the weekends is very good but gets very busy, so I think my preference is the regular menu on a weekday. Very inexpensive for what you get too, with most items in the 30 to 50 peso range (a couple of more expensive Mexican breakfa...

I did this several years ago - you won't be able to use the 'net to book, you'll have to go to a travel agent so they can override the package (AI package deals are pre-set by 7, 10 and 14 days). This is where charter airlines screw you over and why I started using regular carriers...nobody dictates...

Taxi
Your taxi back to the airport will be less than the one you take from the airport - just fyi. Airport taxis are federally regulated and can only take passengers off premises, they are not allowed to pick up fares and return. A question...is that $40 for both of you or per person? Because the rate I ...

Is the layover one hour going down, or coming back? And does the Newark airport check your luggage all the way through to PV or not? 2 very important questions...if you have to re-check luggage AND switch terminals, an hour would be beyond risky. Even without having to deal with luggage I would high...

No it's definitely not reasonable...standard airport taxi fare for the two of you to Zone 2 (where Dreams is located) is 237 pesos (about $23 or $24US).

I don't think he was comparing them to Pipi's, or their margs. I think the point was being made that in a town where a standard margarita (ie: not a giant margarita, not a fishbowl, but just your regular standard size marg) all around the bay generally runs between 30 and 60 pesos for the most part ...
