Is it a good time to Puerto Vallarta?
What to do ?
Is all inclusive Good idea?
Depends on what you want. There is a new complex called Nuevo Vallarta that is all-inclusive time shares (but you can rent them too). The Grand Mayan has a swimming pool that is 4 football fields in size! But people who go to Nuevo Vallarta or any all-inclusive are so cut-off from the people and places in "real" Mexico. It is kind of like riding the "Mexico ride" at Disneyland. They are expensive and a very plasticized view of another country. If this is how you want to vacation, why spend the travel money for someplace you will not actually experience? There are nice hotels in Vallarta that will run you $45 a day, and won't cut you off from Mexico itself. One thing, if you are going in August, you are going at the hot, hot, hot, time of the year. AC might be mandatory, and many traditional Mexican hotels don't have it. There are many things to do in Vallarta, but to advise you, I'd have to know more about what you want. People who go to all-inclusives often use shopping as their main recreation. Good for them, I say, "ick". But, to each their own. The thing I enjoyed most was taking the busses up and down the coast and visiting the smaller villages, the village markets, etc. Have fun.
One of the highest rated hotels in Puerto Vallarta is also all-inclusive -- the Barcelo Premium La Jolla De Mismaloy All Inclusive (that's a mouthful!).
