Take the city bus around town and don't spend it on taxis. Don't let pushy sales people at the airport trick you into doing time share!! It's not worth it

Easy Puerto Vallarta

Basic room. Everything you need but not over decorated. Food - breakfast good, lunch good beach fare, dinner repetitive. Dinner is bad enough that you do not mind going into the city for variety. Great beach location, big pool if you prefer that. LOTS of kids. Mostly local guests but very friendly. Loud music from 10 am until 11:30 pm. Only noticed kids participating in evening activity although clearly planned for adults. No room will escape the music - heard lots of complaints about that in elevator. Alcohol generous and ever ready.

nice relaxing time

staff are excellent. food was the best i have had compared to other resorts , drinks great alcohol selection wonderful , distance to get to areas on resort were reasonable families wouldn`t have to drag their kids long distances to get to bathrooms , restaurants ,lobby out to the street. great location for going to the malls or grocery stores. spa on 2nd floor needs a serious reno. and the gym is somewhat archaic treadmills work but features as incline did not work carpets in the gym need to be replaced, no proper air circulation near treadmill area. they were renovating the convention and entertainment areawhile I was there. I give it an 8 out of 10
