i got there on thursday and left on sunday. it is not all inclusive. i don't know if they got upgraded or not, but my guess is that they did because they brought about 100 people with them for the wedding and it's 2 hours south of PV on the coast with no other hotel around it so you have to stay at the resort.
crap in mexico is so cheap, all inclusive shouldn't matter to you. i sat at the bar/hut thing for 3 straight days for 15 hours a day basically and spent about $200 total. even the wet bar was like, wtf? type of cheap.
it's a very chill place- you go there to get away, not a "hey lets go explore the world and get crazy" type of place. i sat there, drank mezcal shots and Sol beer, and stared at the ocean the entire time. and it looks exactly like it does in the pics, crazy nice.
nope, that was like where Heidi Klum and Seal were. we stayed in one of the ones that was like $300 a night. the wedding couple got one of the $2k a night villas, it was super pimp. they all sit right on the ocean in the little cove, they're all pimp really.
I remember this thread from ksufans and thinking it was elite then. Did I ask how you got there? Fly into PV and drive?
you fly into Houston, connect on Contenental into PV, then hop on a 2 hour shuttle bus to the resort. such an awesome trip, i can't wait to go again.
here's a google maps link
it's also a good place to marlin fish if you're into that crap
