No all inc if he wants to stay in the old town. Different type of holiday. The hotel zone is gross
Eloisa
Go to Sayulita
Tiffany
I've heard that there have been issues with sewage in sayulita due to increased tourism and lack of sewage facilities ... you might want to check ...
Jeannett
Yes it had changed. Not the cute town it once was. And yes sewage overflows at Xmas when it's busy. Rentals have gone up 40% in the last 3 years. Vendors are relentless and there are now 3 Oxxo stores. We went for the day last year as we decided on PV and Punta for a change. Had not seen sayulita in 2 years. Could not believe how it had been built up. Seeing the Oxxo even one right on the beach was the nail in the coffin for us.
Jeannett
Super busy time but yes stay south of the river in the so called romantic zone. You may find a place in vrbo.com or airbnb. There probably aren't any deals as it's high season through march. Flights are regular and direct with WJ and others. Some one stop flights via Houston on delta can be cheap. Good luck
Brad
I would stay in mismaloya. Paradise. Affoerdable cab ride or 20 minutes of fun bus ride into town from there. Check out mismaloya zoo, buy some food at admissions, an experience. Fantastic boat excursions right from shore as well.
Jeannett
If Ron is alone he may find Mysmaloya a bit out of the way for just everyday walk out the door and grab a coffee or a beer. As a couple yes
Brad
Yep. Thats for sure.
Brad
Probably best to do a day trip there
Ron
i really appreciate all your help and advice. Yes, I am travelling alone and want to be in downtown like accommodation where I can just sit at a outside bar and enjoy the people watching, take a couple of tours,( I think I will do Mysmaloya one day, sounds like something I would enjoy) and see a bit of history. cheers and thanks again.
Marilyn
But don't go to zoos. Please.
Jeannett
And just so you know Ron places like Blue Chairs cater to the gay crowd. I'm all good with that but it may or may not be your scene. Check out something like vrbo#838612
Lots of other super expcnsxie places still avail so you will have to search and pick something quick
Ron
wow, both properties look great. Now I need to book a flight and get one of these apartments booked. Thanks so much, Hard to know where to start looking when you have never been to a place before. I really appreciate your help. Thanks again.
Jeannett
You're welcom. PV old part of town is cool. Enjoy
