First time to PV, and I will be back. Loved the friendly people and the unique town. I have never felt so welcome!

NEW VELAS VALLARTA ALL INCLUSIVE

Hotel

Lovely resort with large rooms, comfortable and clean. Resort is undergoing renovation to update rooms. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and every request was fulfilled. The concierge was wonderful, as was the guest service manager (Francisco). These people were more like family than employees. The resort has activities each day and entertainment each night. The restaurants were very good and the buffets were varied enough to not get boring. I love this place and definitely will go back!!!

Dolphin Encounter

Activity

Arranged through Vallarta Adventures (10% off if you book online). This was awesome. A once in a lifetime experience. You spend one hour in the pool with these beatiful creatures and it is a spiritual experience.

Vallarta Adventures - Marietas

Activity

A very fun trip. Great crew, all helpful and fun. Nice trip out to the Marietas, with a narration of the island and of the birds. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was not too good that day due to a tropical storm/hurricane near Cabo and the water was churned. But the crew still made it fun. We had a good lunch and you could have quite an array of drinks. We went to a secret beach, but when they take you ashore, do not forget your sunscreen -- we fried!
