OK, we've officially decided after staying in town for the first time...thanks Tony & Cheri for a great week at the Luna Blue, (yeah, you were right Tony)
...we will probably never go back to an AI... :p
Last time we tried to stay at the Royal Porto and check out town but it didn't work out and we ended up moving to the Riu Palace, which don't get me wrong we enjoyed very much, but we didn't get into town much. Sooooo, this time we did just that, we checked out PDC and we loved it! We had a blast finding places to eat even though we are not much for big fancy meals so we ended up spending very little on food. We found some great little places on the north end and one night dinner was less than $10us for both of us!! It was cool to go to Mamitas or one of the small hotels on the beach or just sit at the TB and people watch. Besides it felt so good to walk down 5th without those plastic bracelets dangling from our wrists LOL!!
We are returning in May for 11 nights and I can't wait to explore more of PDC. Then in the fall - yeah, we're thinking ahead - we may do a week in PDC and a week further south like Akumel or Tulum...
