Wifi hotspots, internet cafes and the like

First of all, hi folks. I am getting ready for my first trip to PV, and am vaccilating about bringing my laptop. Normally on business, I use it to maintain close contact with family rather than a phone. What is the general concensus? Are there sufficient wifi hotspots to make it worth the hassle of bringing my laptop, or should I leave it at home and use internet cafes? BTW, I get contradictory information whether the resort I will be staying at has free or paid internet, the Melia Puerto Vallarta. I, so far, have read quite a bit of the forum, and really am learning. Thanks, Bob

When I was there last year I found that there were password protected WiFi at a lot of resturants, I asked for the password when I ordered and used my I-touch to send and receive e-mails. This year I will do the same.

Thanks for the info. I believe I will leave the laptop at home, and pick up a phone card while in PV for home contact.

Many bars/restaurants offer free calls back home, just buy a beer.
Cafe Roma, Asaderos and Que?Pasa, to mention just a few.
