It wasn't a huge deal for us. I get bored in Mexico. Beach vacations are kinda meh for stimulation junkies.

When will Cancun complete its transformation into Acapulco?
Like the cocaine part? Or the cliff diving?
I miss Mexico. Resort beach vacations are just right for my family.

Like the military literally coming in and storming the police station to take over so there was some shred of a semblance of "law".
So, in a quick 25 years, that place roughly went from Acapulco > PV to... "We need martial law, Holy HeyZeus do NOT come here, we are worse than Garry, Indiana¡!!1!1!"
I'll continue to spend my dollars in San Diego, but YMMV. I must be wrong judging by all the positive reviews from those who haven't been murdered.
Speaking of kidnapping......do typical life insurance policy's cover if it happens??? My wife is going to a client site in South Africa. Didn't think of it until it was mentioned here....

Who does she work for? I was just looking into ours and for places like that we'd have essentially armed escorts taking us to and from sitesThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Actually if we go to China we get a driver and translator with us too
We were in Puerto Vallarta, at the Hilton. Went out to a handful of places; the local mall, department stores, pharmacy, restaurants, etc. Definitely didn't expect masks to be so popular, we were hoping to have a mask-free vacation, but whatever lolThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I agree , beaches sux only a couple, of places you can swim. If the ocean is not your thing, I guess not a big deal.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The food is some of the best I have had in Mexico
It is cold at night and not that warm in the day.
Fishing is great if you like that …
Bars are good if you like that …
Renting a car is good idea
Cobo is not for me overall but some people love it
Dont really want to say who shes working for. I imagine she will have a driver. Staying at some secure compound with some other contractors. I imagine it will be that same as when she was in Oman. I'll need to ask more questions. I typically dont worry but a little more so about Africa. I'll try to dig up insurance papers and see if it says anything.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

That kind of thing is not part of normal life insurance. Likely the company has a separate policy covering these areas that is specific about kidnapping, etc.

Did you guys stay at this Hilton: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/pvr...lusive-resort/
If so, how was the resort? Did you guys venture out to downtown PV? Any tips you can share.
Cheers!
Guess we are booked to go end of March. Sounds like we don't need to do anything to leave Canada and still need a negative test to get back in?
Also, haven't looked at the exchange rates yet but is USD or Peso's better?
You only need the Antigen test to get back in now (same as US) ... hotel we are staying at provides them for free. Cant friggin wait.
Have been to Cabo at least 14 times. Only once was the ocean unusable, only for a day or so, due to Jellyfish. Oh and once during a tropical storm. You must have stayed on the Pacific side.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm not aware of a Carribean side of Cabo, so yeah Pacific it was. Do you just mean you were tucked into that little cove by the marina or something? All the resorts are south and east facing, leaving the beach wide open to the Pacific.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Cabo is deff. the worst side to be on if you want to be in the ocean. From what I understand that coast has a lot of dangerous riptides in most of the beaches, among other shit like jellyfish etc. If you want to chill in the ocean then the Playa Del Carmen/Cancun side is apparently the best.
I made a handy diagram for y'all.

Cabo San Lucas (The Town) which is what I assume people mean when they say "Cabo" has a long stretch of swimmable beach on the Sea of Cortez side. There are a few resorts along that stretch.
San Jose Del Cabo (the City) or the Los Cabos corridor where a lot of the all-inclusive resorts are, not so much.

That's why I asked if you were at a little more obscure spot around the east facing side of the peninsulaThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Not trying to be a dick (it comes naturally ) but Medano Beach is neither "obscure" nor a "tiny cove near the marina". It's extremely popular.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
