Dreams, Barcelo de Mismolayo or Crown Paradise

Planning girls trip to Puerto Vallarta. Can't decide between these 3 resorts. Anybody have any info or opinions?

Of those three IMO Dreams but have you considered something in "Old Town"? What are you looking for as far as activities? Want nightlife? Tell us more.

We are looking to relax, snorkel, beach and shop. We will probably go into town a couple times for dinner but still found AI to be worth it for a week. Mom is 75 and will do a bit of shopping/walking and just relax by the pool/beach/resort. If there was an interesting day trip other than snorkeling we would all do that.The other 5 of us are 40-50 and want a good beach and will go into town to shop, etc. a couple times and maybe a day trip for snorkeling. We all stayed at an Iberostar in Riviera Maya which was perfect with nightly entertainment.
Do you know if any of these have entertainment on premises? 2 of us have been to Nuevo and it's too far out. Thanks.

Of those 3 resorts, I'd pick Dreams.

It really depends what kind of atmosphere you are looking for. Do you want activities, tequila volleyball in the pool and stuff, or something more sedate and quiet. I'm assuming you want an all-inclusive resort from these options?
