We rented a private catamaran eight of us. My brother got the boat captain so drunk that I end up driving the giant boat home. guzzling Captain Morgan from eight in the morning till 11 pm. Pitch black I just headed to the hotel with the square hole in it. One of the best islands I’ve ever been to. Lol.

Never stayed there just went there on a tour from the main land. Was pretty sweet there. Awesome beaches. Looked like a cool spot to stay.

If you stay there hit the beaches somewhat early to get a good spot before all the tourists come over from the mainland on the ferries and fill them up. For sure rent a golf cart and go tour the island especially the south end it's gorgeous. Avoid the main restaurant strip it's mostly overpriced and crappy American/Canadian food. Find a hole in the wall taco stand instead.

Find the hole in the walls the best. Mazatlan better for that kinda thing. Not as much in Cancun. Bought tequila there from a guy that grew up in bc. He moved to that island.

Last Mexico trip we did was to Sayulita. Great area, rented a house with a pool.
Big surfing area due to consistent waves.
25mins from Puerto Vallarta.

Wicked town also !!

Huatulco gets my vote... it's not commercialized like the big resort towns. It's still old Mexico
Sayulita is a good place too... We were in Puerto Vallarta, stayed at the Bocello in Feb. Beautiful place.
Have been all over Mexico, about 30 times now

Got married there back in 2009, sure has changed a lot since then. Been 3 times and always stayed at playa Escondida, wicked little resort.

San pancho / sanfransico and lo de marcos are also sweet spots

We just arrived at the rui Palace in PV
It has been closed for reno’s for 7 months.

It opened 4 days ago. Very nice and looks great. Also very quiet here right now and not many people.

Stayed there a few years ago. It was decent then. I bet it’s really nice now.

Maybe everyone is crossing the southern US border?

Totally different than it was before. Has 3 pools now. Different restaurants and rooms are all new.

Anybody here done Domincan resort instead of Mexico? Looking at it as a possible option for Feb.

We went to Punta Cana in 2020

We did Bahia Principe Grand Cayacoa on the Samana Peninsula back in Jan of 2019. We had no desire to do Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, or anything anywhere close to Santo Domingo, so went there. We did tour some of the Peninsula, Las Galeras is nice and has some Europeans and Canadians that call it home during the winter. Rincon beach is really nice to visit. Samana is still fairly undeveloped in terms of tourist amenities, which I like but not everyone does.

For a budget trip we were pretty impressed. Only thing is Samana was only available via Toronto, which adds considerably to travel time.
