At my age,
I´ve seen it all,
Done it all,
Heard it all...
I just can´t remember it all
not to sure bout that but it was two levels the bottom was more of a lounge and socializing.
1984 was the start of 22 straight years there. 84 and 85 were at the Posada Vallarta, now the Krystal. 86 when we bought at the Marina de Oro (Playa de Oro T/S wing) until we also bought at the Velas in 98. Were all great times. I recall the Casablanca very well. The description just given was right on the money. Can not seem to stay away from the Marina area. looking forward to the 23rd visit this Fall. While things have changed, I think they only got better.

anyone else remember that time. did anyone have a waiter named fernando at cassablancas. I also ate at a resteraunt that was on a river you had to walk down to it. as i recall there also wasnt much of a beach. we would walk to town from concha chinas the timeshare. above the condo they told us that the house there belong to charles bronsan. not sure if its true or not. never saw him.
like you i was around 17 at the time i dove there with my brother. we met my mom and aunt there they flew. it has changed but its wonderful

You guys drove there from Manitoba????!!!!! What kind of drive was THAT?! oEo
yes, yes we did lol. it was an amazing adventure for a 17 year old I got to see things that i will treasure for the rest of my life. we went to mazatland for a week first then went on to pv. i was to be there for 2 weeks but ended staying 3 weeks. to me it was an adventure of a life time I hit alot of snags but all of them were worth the memories
yes they are but nowadays you can get a flight and be there in 4.5 hrs so why drive 4 days lol
the lions den that youa re talking about was it a bar because the one im talking about was. You came in through two huge doors as they opened there was a big roar. when inside it was very dark and by the dance floor there was glass windows which had lions behind them. also the club sundance my mom figures is now paco pacos . she also figures the zoo is where cassablancas was.
