Fodor's Travel Talk Forums - Puerto Vallarta

I thank you all and at this point am still leaning toward the condo in PV with day-trips..but I do have feelers out to properties in Sayulita. Flights are coming together so it's time to make a decision! My husband and I are now considering flying into PV earlier than Christmas Eve..probably the 21st of Dec. We'd stay overnight and then take a bus to Guadalajara next morning. (No availability to fly into Guad). We'd then take bus back to PV on the 24th, for the following 7 nites before flying home. I am going to ask if the condo would be available to us for the one night on the 21st, but it may not be, and we won't need all that space for just the two of us. Any suggestions of a hotel to stay in that night? I gather hotels near the airport aren't that great. I'm not sure yet where we catch the bus to get to Guad. and whether we can catch it near the condo in Old Town.

Actually, we would arrive in PV at 2:45pm ..maybe we should just take the bus right away although we will be a little pooped from travelling....

Thank-you all, I promise to report back and THANK-YOU for words of wisdom about swimming with the Dolphins!
