I was in Puerta Vallarta in June last year.
Not the friendliest place I’ve been to.
It was a busy working city.
Not the sanctuary of paradise I was expecting.
Very disappointed.
So many arrogant people.
I was moved twice from room to room in 2 weeks.
Each time the Staff at “Secrets” said it was for building repairs.
Each time a Wedding Party with 4 adjoining rooms moved in.
The Hotel told my tour operator it was my own fault for asking to be moved.
