Ive stayed at the RIU 4 times......LOVE IT. Nuevo Vallarta is about 20mins from downtown and about a $20 taxi ride. However, there is a quaint town 5 mins away called Bucerias. You can actually walk along the beach and get to it if you want. There is a market there and cool beachside bars (Meson Bay) and resturaunts (Marcos).

I live in Nuevo Vallarta and have been here for the past 3 years. I know pretty much all the resorts in this area and also work for one... the Grand Mayan is beaurtiful with massive rooms that sleep up to 8 people. It is really reasonable too and 5 star!

Lades - we are soo close to booking Las Caletas and are now looking at hotels in the area - This board has been amazing so far - just wondering how far the bus/charter ride is from Dreams to the Marina? I'm concerned between that and the boat it may be a long haul!

[LCBride2007]

it was maybe a 20-30 minute ride from Dreams I think - not bad at all.

We're also getting married at Las Caletas (on May 24, 200, and I think we've settled on staying at the Royal Decameron in Nuevo Vallarta. It's an all-inclusive with a very reasonable rate. If price is the only thing keeping you from considering an all-inclusive (we were in the same boat), you might want to look into this place. Granted, it's nowhere near 5-stars, but it's gotten decent reviews saying it's a good value. And I think an all-inclusive will be very convenient for a large group (we're expecting about 60 people).

 

Let us know what place you decide on! Oh, and if anyone has ever stayed at the Royal Decameron, I would love to hear about your experience.

Hi raisinblur - I've never stayed at the Royal Decameron, but I have clients who have and they are going back again next year (I'm a TA)...they really like it...it is a bigger hotel, and is very active, lots of things to do during the day. It is nice, definitely not a 5 star, but comfortable, clean, the staff are friendly and the food is good (from what I've heard!). It's a great value for sure!

 

I think all-inclusive is the way to go, especially with the large group you are having, that way no one has to worry about getting meals/etc., and if you want to eat out at a restaurant, you can! It's a great, worry-free way to travel!
