We are going on a bachelorette party in the end of March. We are trying to decide between Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan. We want sun , drinks and a good nightlife. Any suggestions you have would be great!

definitely P. Vallarta it has sooo much to offer. you will not regret it.

been to both places. I 2nd Puerto Vallarta.

Can you recommend a hotel? We want something nice with a great pool and bar that is close to the beach. Thanks so much!

Since there are numerous hotels, would first need to know what kind of budget you are on and if you are interest in an AI or not. This will help narrow it down.

We are open to AL or not - it doesn't really matter. I am thinking that AL would be better. We are lookibng to spend somewhere around $700 - $800 for three nights. Thanks for all your help!

Puerto Vallarta gets my vote (I've been there a bunch and never to Mazatlan, I'll admit).

I suggest you find a PV map, because the lay of the land includes really nice resorts way north of airport/town in Nuevo Vallarta (1/2 hour away), closer in The Marina, Hotel Zone, El Centro (downtown), and then south of town, one neighborhood then along the coast. Each area offers a very different experience. If you want to have easy access to shopping, restaurants and nightlife, I'd recommend finding a resort close to town.

Try the Premier Hotel & Spa you can walk to town. you can go all inclusive or not that is your choice. I also recommend the Marriott even though it is in the marina it is a beautiful hotel, and you can take a cab into town
