If you don't mind me asking, what rental agency did you go with? Susan There are a lot of good agencies, this website included, but we went with someone else. I don't think a plug for a competitor is what the moderators want to see, but you can email me at rossk41(at)yahoo(dot)com and I can fill yo...

We're in 502. Our kids have grown a bit, they'll be 15 and 18 in Oct. Expect it to be very warm in Aug, you're still in the rainy season. The good news is the place should be nearly empty, and you'll have plenty of space for you and your young ones. Yes, we've been to PV before, though not nearly as...

We have booked for 9 nights in October. Our decision was based mostly on what we've found online regarding the availability of the individual units, and the strong recommendation with a realtor we have dealt with. It's new, built in '99 I believe. I received one response from my inquiries from someo...

Previously we stayed in hotels, and always ate out, but this year we're staying in a condo, and will be preparing some of our own food. I know there's at least one product, Microdyn, that can be added to water as a rinse/soak for fruits and veggies that is supposed to work well as a disinfectant. Yo...

president
We spent 6 nights at the Presidente in October 2004, and I posted several photos of the property online for someone who was contemplating staying there: http://community.webshots.com/album/207215085MBsycP It is a newly renovated, very nice and well kept property, 4-5 stars. Most rooms are oceanfront...

Outdoor Adventures
Vallarta Adventures has opened a new canopy operation south of town, near Los Veranos. Their website doesn't offer much detail, but on another board someone described it, and it sounds a cut above the rest. It starts with a mule ride to the top of a mountain, two rappels down past waterfalls, a trip...

Night of the Iguana
A heads-up to all that this movie has finally been released on DVD. I received mine 2 days after release, last week, from Amazon for 14.95. It's an interesting watch to me primarily for the location, the story and acting being a bit offbeat. It's in black and white, though the special features are i...

Thanks to all for the input. Looks like our best bet is to inquire at some of the larger beachfront resorts. Many may not want the general (unpaying)public roaming their grounds, but its also good exposure for them, getting potential guests onto their properties to look around who otherwise wouldn't...

hotel lagunita
On our upcoming trip to PV this fall, we've decided to spend an overnight in Yelapa. We have been there before, but only for the day. My wife is a bit unsure about the *wildness* of the jungle, so I thought that the hotel could be our best bet. Has anyone stayed there before? I've seen images on the...

The snakes are in the bar, adjacent to the area where the tour ends. I understand if you don't want to be around them, but Los Veranos is almost unanimously the best zip line tour of the bunch. You can always look the other way when you end, and either go to the restaurant or take the shuttle back t...

sea turtles
When we stayed at the Presidente in October '04, we participated in a release of sea turtle hatchlings on the property, which was quite an experience. This year, we are again visiting in October, but are staying in some condos in Punta Negra. Does anyone know where releases are held that are accessi...

Los Palmares
Our planned trip to PV has had its share of fits and starts, and right now its another one. The condo in CC we had reserved is being sold, so we're now looking for another place. We are looking at Los Palmares on Punta Negra, and was wondering if anyone had stayed there. The complex is pretty new an...

No, I haven't, it seems like our usual 7 nights goes by so fast we don't get around to many of the things we'd like to, be I'm aware of them. We're staying in an ordinary 2 bedroom place, but I know of the many rather palatial properties there, and it would be interesting to see how the other half l...

. Some people call it the Beverly Hills of P.V. It's one of the considerations that led us to reserve a condo there for our next visit in October. We've always been intrigued about the area on our drives thru on the main highway. I don't believe the walk to old town is all that far, but you would w...
