What is puerto del sol like?

Travelling to Puerto Vallarta Mexico on 26/2.Need advice on where to stay and whether to take all inclusive?

• I checked on redtag.ca and read some reviews on the Hacienda and Canto del sol. Frankly, i think Canto is a little too expensive and the only thing i didnt like about Hacienda is that its not right on the beach, any insight on both would be great especially if you travelled to both or know somebody who did. I am not looking to spend more than 1000 on all inclusive. I am travelling with 2 other friends. we are 25 year old males, looking to have some fun but relax at the same time, wouldnt mind seeing some spring breakers here and there. Also, we would have gone to Cancun or Puerto Plata DR but the weather sucks for the week we are going so any suggestions on other places to go are greatly appreciated since we did not book anything yet and on websites with cool last minute deals to party places as well. thanks

• Answer:

  First of all, all inclusive is a must. Second of all, my parents stayed at the Canto del sol a few years ago. They say they liked it and would recommend it but that there were many fruit flies at the resort. Also, I have visited both Mexico (and have a trip to Puerto Vallarta booked for this April) and Jamaica. I personally prefer, LOVED, and highly recommend Jamaica! Here is a great website for reviews on tropical hotels from the people that have stayed at them: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ Have a good trip where ever you decide to go! :)
