I will be in Puerto Vallarta for 2 nights at end of October before going on to other places. Know of an inexpensive hotel with air conditioning?

You should not need A/C at that date. Most inexpensive hotels will not have A/C but ceiling fans, which are quite adequate. A short list appears here: <BR>http://vallarta-info.com/puertovallartainsider.html <BR>the prices may be slightly higher this coming season but that will not start till about Nov.15th. <BR>BTW the cheap ones do not take reservations. <BR>JR

Also pick up a copy of the Pacific Mexico Handbook or the Puerto Vallarta Handbook by B. Whipperman.Mexico

Franceen: <BR> <BR>The best place with air that is inexpensive that I would highly recommend is the Hotel Posada Rio Cuale. I hope that you are arriving after I check out - Oct. 24-28 for business. <BR> <BR>If you are there the same time, tell the front desk that I sent you, and ask for either Room #216 or 225 (these have A/C and TV), if you arrive after I leave, ask for Room #224 (I usually stay in this room and it has A/C and TV). It will run about $30 USD per night, has 24 security, on-site restaurant and pool, and is walking distance to everything and one block from the beach. <BR> <BR>Hope this helps.

We stayed at the Playa Los Arcos. It was a package deal. $660.00 for one week. This included round-trip airfair from Seattle to PV. We loved the hotel and will go back. Everyone was so nice. It is right on the beach.
