PV or Acapulco?

Started April 19, 2005 · 22,716 views · 7 posts
What is the main difference between the two? I have been to PV and absolutely love the place. I am always up for new places, so I would like to know what the difference is between the two. Thanks!

Re:PV or Acapulco?
I have researched Acapulco many times for a possible trip, and I am not interested. I did go there for one day on a cruise, and decided then that I would only stay outside the main bay (Like the Princess), but getting to-and-fro the main business district was a major problem. Just too much crime for me.

Hmmmm
Since this a PV board could the answer be PV??

Heard Acapulco was the place to be many moons ago.
Today hands down . PV is the 1st choice!
Mexican WalMart
I guess it depends on what you are buying but I find the PV WalMart prices comparable to what we pay here - electronics aside - being a lot cheaper here .
Imported products such as packaged foods and electronics are significantly more expensive and there is no Best Buy to keep the electronics competitive. We got a better deal at Office Depot than at Costco on our new computer.
PV. or ACA.
Pv is the $!@#.. The city is just right! The people you meet are great, and the weather is perfect in the winter. And the fishn is awsome!
Woo Hoo
my friend, thumbs up back at ya!!!!!
