Good size, not overcrowded. Friendly staff. Interior was spotless. The one drawback was due to the fact they were constantly painting and varnishing, the fumes on our deck (lower promenade) were horrendous.

There was only one electrical outlet in the room and the air conditioning barely kept it comfortable.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Took the Town, Country & Tequila tour. Got to see a lot of the country side and a Tequila distillery with free sampling of 6 different tequilas. The short shopping portion of tour was a waste of time.
