- Try Hotel Las Cabanias on the main strip (next to MR CHIPS), it is nice
- and clean, they also have a swimming pool. There is a large supermarket
- accross the street from the hotel.
- It cost us around 17,000 Pesos or about $12 per/night for 2
- adults (last winter). We had a great time in Puerto Vallarta during
- December/January. If you go there please say hello to Cris (the Inkeeper)
- very nice guy :-)
