Mexico 1/1-1/7/06 - Looking for Recs beside Cancun, Cozumel...help!
 

Hi all!

My husband and I are looking to head to Mexico first week of January! We've been to Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cozumel already...we have not been to Puerto Vallarta yet, tossing this around! Any other fantastic recommendations? We love exploring new places, not overly touristy areas, etc.

Anyone take an unforgettable trip outside of the main touristy spots? If we do head ot Puerto Vallarta, can you recommend any fantastic hotels, villas, etc? We prefer villas, cabins, etc. to typical Holiday Inn style buildings.

Thank you so much!

You can try Yelapa or Majahuitas - both near PV.

Here is Majahuitas:

Verana, outside of PV, looks really fantastic too.
Or El Careyes or El Tamarindo.
Have fun!!!

Awesome. I look forward to looking into your suggestions, thanks so much, I really appreciate it! Thanks Pepper and Frankie!

Maybe the Costalegre S of PV.

There are 4 or 5 Luxury properties listed among the many hotels/B&Bs.

Thank you! Checking into mikemo's suggestions now!! Very cool, I've enjoyed and am considering some of the suggestions here so far!! Thank y ou!

For within Puerto Vallarta, you can avoid Holiday Inn style if you avoid Nuevo Vallarta, The Marina, the Hotel Zone resort areas.

Rather stay in an apartment, condo, or hotel in El Centro (downtown) or Old Town (also called zona romantica or south of the river).

Charming and wonderful part of town!

I'm so late on my thank you's! Thank you so much for all the help you all gave me...we ended up going to Zihuatanejo and stated at La Quinta Troppo, we had a fabulous time!

thanks for following up, Tiff!
How did you like Zihuatenjo? Can you compare it to other places you've been in Mexico?

Have you considered Belize or Costa Rica?
