Puerto Vallarta Trip Report - June 11 - 18, 2023

It's been 10 years since I've wiggled my toes in the sand in Puerto Vallarta.  I was there on a cruise a few years ago but didn't get off the ship to visit.  PV is not one of my favorite places.  This would be my third time staying here; third time a charm?  🤞  Also, my first trip to PV was in June and I swore I'd NEVER go back in that month because of the heat/humidity but here I am (I've learned to never say never)...  Below, the picture is from the RIU website.  I read enough reviews to know that food would taste average but be plentiful, the alcohol is NOT top-shelf and the hotel needed a good refurb.  Almost like most all-inclusives I've stayed at...

Puerto Vallarta Trip Report - August 30th - September 6th, 2013

I (48) last visited Puerto Vallarta in June 2004 with my son (we stayed at the Grand Marival in Nuevo Vallarta that trip).  This time I went with a good friend (37) from work.  We knew it was rainy HOT & HUMID season there but we just wanted to get away and enjoy a 5-star resort.  Quite honestly, as time inched closer, I was really uncomfortable with the hot and humid thoughts that continually occupied my mind.  I swore after last visit, I would NEVER return in summer, but never say never, right?
