A group of ten friends is going either the 8th of April, or the 15th of April for a week. I know Easter falls on the 16th and have heard that Easter is a big holiday in Mexico.
Should we expect the resorts to be packed with nationals. If so, would it be better for us to stay closer to town in a smaller resort, or farther away in a slightly bigger resort.
I have been in PV during Easter and I am avoiding the Easter period this year and will also do so in the future years. PV is busting at the seams during the Easter period. When I was there it was estimated that 60,000 people would visit PV and its surrounding areas. People come by the plane loads, bus loads, car and truck loads. The hotels are overflowing and you will see people sleeping in all types of vehicles as well as tenting. The beach is overly crowded, and all
restaurants, clubs are packed. The traffic is unreal and the noise level is high. It is difficult to enjoy many areas of shopping, as well as the Malecon,especially at night. Should none of this bother you ,go during Easter but keep in mind that it is ESSENTIAL to have SECURED hotel reservations. Also be aware that during the Easter period there are HIGHER RATES for hotels. PV is safe but be aware the pick pocketing can occur when in crowded areas and that is not safe to leave articles unattended on the beach. You need to know that drug possession, of the smallest amount, can land you in serious trouble, and the laws, and they way in which they operate, are not even close to those of the US or Canada. You can have a vacation of a life time in PV. but please remember that you are in a foreign country
and that its laws apply to you, as a visitor. Have a wonderful trip !
