BEST (safest) water taxi to Yelapa 8) Help Please..
Well, it seems my girlfriend's Mother has her freaked out about the safety of the water taxis to Yelapa. I've read up on this and there appears to be several companies offering the service. The one the my girlfriend's Mother used did't have any life jackets. Any recommendations of which company to u...

Re: Beaches
The only codicil I would add to Yelapa is that it's not the best beach to swim from. The beach tends to drop off very sharply about 5 feet into the water, and there are lots of small rocks and pebbles, so if you DO swim from here I would suggest taking water socks to use. The surf and undertow are ...

Re: yelapa places to stay
Happy New Year Mogens!! I can handle an ant or a gekko and am an avid camper. I'm not all that enthused with scorpions, bats and pythons in my room. Crabs and cockroaches can be a little annoying as well! For my first time overnight in Yelapa, I think maybe I'd rather not take a chance on sleeping ...

Best place to exchange US $$ for Pe$0s?
So... last time I was here, I used an ATM at the airport and got pesos directly from the machine.
Is there a better place to get Pesos from US dollars?
- Should we get pesos in the US?
- Go to a bank in PV
- Use the airport ATM again?

Yelapa... should I take 2 teen age boys along too?
Good morning, Still trying to plan a few last minute things while in PV next week. Yelapa sounds really interesting to me..... I traveled to Mexico in 1974 in my 1966 VW bus (long hair, Great Dane...... the whole 70s thing) lived there for 3 months, mostly in San Blas & Santa Cruz. Anyway... my girl...

OK, I just lost this whole post so I will try it once again :( This is information I received from Master Card (Master Rental): The policy is considered the primary policy IF, you are renting in a country/territory in which your normal insurance does not provide coverage.

I would head North towards Bucerias, then up around the bend to Punta Minta, then up to Sayalito and San Francisco... there are some fun spots up that direction for you to enjoy, dine, and lounge out on the beaches... have a good time.... if the new roads are done to San Sabastian, you may want to ...

Renting a Jeep for 2 days.... where to go?
Good morning.... This will be my 2nd trip to PV and I wanted to get out and see more of the surrounding areas.. beaches, cool little villages... other stuff... I'm planning to rent a convertable Jeep Wrangler for a couple of days. Anyone have suggestions of places to visit on or off the beaten path?

Re: Insurance
That's not what I said. I don't rent cars in Vallarta, but everyone I know who does gets every possible insurance coverage they can, because if you don't, guaranteed you'll get dinged for something. And don't forget to fully inspect the car before you leave the rental lot...top to bottom for any di...

Re: Insurance
CDW = Collision Damage Waiver Whether MasterCard has that coverage is something you should call your card provider about. kcowan is correct though, supplemental insurance is 100% vital and necessary. Sooo... If I have CDW (which apparently I do) I don't need any supplementat insurance renting cars ...
