The beach is gorgeous. They have lots of planned activities like volleyball, pool-games, etc. The grounds and buildings were immaculate. We were certified scuba already. The lessons for beginners are free at Marival - the actual excursions and rentals are not.
American money works in many places.
Also, check your credit card terms. The hotel desalinates its own water, so all tap water is sage and potable. Back to our Puerto Vallarta vacation page. Or check out my home page .
