Christmas in Mexico

Trudie Hedgecox on 07 July 2017
We decided to take our first family long-haul holiday over Christmas, I have previously travelled to Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's pacific coast so I knew we would have a fabulous time and we certainly did!

We stayed at the Canto Del Sol hotel, a smaller option against some of the much bigger vast hotels but knowing the area this hotel was a winner for us as it was very close to the fabulous malecon downtown area which is walkable from the Canto Del Sol, but we also opted for the bus on a few occasion's which cost pennies.

The hotel also had a prime beachfront location & the sunsets in Puerto Vallarta are spectacular. We were on an all inclusive basis and the food and drink options at the hotel was of a very high standard international branded drinks included and very good food.

We took a few days trips out on our own again using the local bus to visit Bucerias beach and their famous beach markets.

We also booked a full day trip to Las Caletas beach which I would highly recommend. This day started early with a great boat trip over to Las Caletas, where we realized we stepped off the boat onto a paradise island! We had the most amazing fun filled day, our children zip-wired through the rainforest we did a kayak trip and we also had a cooking and cocktail making lesson, lunch on the island was also Included and it was great with plenty to choose from.

We also went to a Sea Turtle conservation farm and got to hold baby sea turtles and we really wanted to bring them home.

We have amazing memories from Puerto Vallarta and I can highly recommend it.
