Question

Hi

I am planning a vacation in the week of 6 Oct 07. I can't decide which is a better place in terms of the weather, beaches and the things to do at the above places. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks.

Answer 1

I would go to Puerto Vallarta

Answer 2

Much better Puerto Vallarta.

Answer 3

Both beautiful,but different in the kind of water and beach.PV would be my choice.It really depends on what your priorities are as well as where you are located...For me Puerto Vallarta is closer and more convenient.Weather might be marginally better at Varadero that time of year.

Have a great trip wherever you decide to go.

Answer 4

Puerto Vallarta will have more american tourists, Cuba will have more Spanish, European, and Canadian.  Puerto Vallarta is really nice and developing in a beutifull way.  In Cuba you will be limited to the resort you stay at and outside you will be surrounded by poverty.  Mexico is alot nicer.  People are free. In PV, both north and south of the Bay is where the water is the nicest.  If you surf North of the Bay, Punta Mita, Sayulita, SanFrancisco are great surf spots.  Sayulita is a cool hippie type town with good food and cool beach house rentals.  The hotels in Mx are much nicer.... The weather in PV will be great in OCT, another good thing is that Mexico is at work and in school so there wont be thousands of people crowding the streets and beaches.
