We have just reserved for PV. We were there in 2009, and had our favorite time on any of our three Olivia vacations so far. We also did Cancun and the Eastern Caribbean Halloween cruise, both in 2010.  We love this resort.  We are Dana (55) and Theresa (42), from Orange County, California.  This resort has a great pool and pool bar. And the beach is long and clean, and the water is warm and calm. The rooms are gorgeous, as is everyplace else in the resort. I had my best massage ever in the spa, there. :) The restaurants are good, the service is excellent, the amphitheater is a great place to enjoy the Olivia entertainment, and the nightclub rocks long into the night.  This resort is the standard by which we measure all Olivia vacations.

We're booked as well, making those payments--LOL!  Glad to see you, Margaret Jean, will be there--we're looking forward to seeing you and hangin' with ya. We may be "up your way" later this summer--to see Deb--maybe we could connect with you too? We are very much looking forward to this resort after hearing so many wonderful compliments about it--hooray! KC & Bunny

We finally booked on Tuesday and are soo very excited to go to PV and meet you all. I snooped around and checked out your photos! Thank you for sharing them. It looks so beautiful there - and so fun! We are on the 8th floor and have a view of the Ocean. In the past, we have spent each morning walking along the beach when in Mexico. I am curious if any of you know what the beach is like up and down the coast - is it clean? Are there shells? Are there any piers to walk out on? Can you see fish? I must confess I have not done the digging yet to check out PV online yet but plan to do it in the next week or so. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with us. Thanks so much!!

Hi There,

Let me just say that the first time Michelle and I did this resort (keep in mind that we had already done 6 other resorts with Olivia prior to PV) we talked 10 of our friends to join us.  I am so glad that this was the resort that we brought them to ~ believe me this is an amazing resort - besides the Olivia experience (which is amazing) this resort is the bomb!!!  Everything included at all times - water, soda, alcohol in your room at all times - 3 fabulous restaurants - I really cannot talk this resort up enough - I will be returning!!!!!  Come, come, come ~ you will not regret!!  Hopefully see you there.....

M. (Margaret) Jean

k_s_02 - Congrats. 

I'm not real sure what we are waiting on, but I hope to be joining you all as first time Olivia "guests".  My partner (Jill) and I (Vanetta) will be celebrating 15 years together (10/30/2012)...what better way to mark the occasion?

My partner and I have been on three Olivia Vacations. We will be taking our fourth vacation in October to Hawaii with Olivia. We will also be taking this trip to Vallarta Palace in 2012. This will be our second time with Olivia doing this trip we went in 2009 and we loved it. When we go in 2012 it will be our 5th Olivia vacation. We try really hard to take at least one vacation with Olivia every year now. We also have 3 children. We have twin boys that are 12 and we have a daughter that is 15. We try hard to have our time together  at least once a year with Olivia. We travel with the kids to Disney World, snow skiing in Colorado or usually on a cruise once a year.

There is no vacation like traveling with Olivia. The women of Olivia are trully a family from all over the world. We have met wonderful friends from Canada, Florida, Washington, California, New Hampshire and Louisiana. My wife loves Vallarta Palace and by far has been her favorite. We have done 1 cruise which was awesome and 2 resorts so far and we have loved them all. The Vallarta Palace is a 5-6 star Hotel. The pool area is beautiful, the staff at the resort are great and the staff with Olivia that are on every vacation are trully amazing.. All your meals, drinks including alcoholic drinks are included and are served 24 hours a day. This resort is the best and you will have an amazing time. The Olivia entertainment each night, the different theme nights and dancing every night is the best. You will never be disappointed on an Olivia Vacation. I am also nurse and my wife is a physical therapist. We live in Houston, Texas and we hope to see you both in October 2012. Please look at our pictures of the Olivia Vallarta Palace 2009 trip that we have posted.

Debra and Lynette

I was wondering if you could tell me about this resort/trip! My partner and I are seriously considering booking this trip and would just like some info from you ladies who have been here with Olivia in the past. This would be our first Olivia trip, and we don't really know what to expect. We have been to Cancun/Playa del Carmen and Cozumel but have never been to this area. We are in the process of trying to get a few couples together to take this trip as a group. It looks like a lot of fun!

A little info about us, in case anyone is interested...My partner's name is Sarah, and she is 38. She works in an art department doing project management work at a local company. She will be turning 40 (!) right around the time of this trip, and I would LOVE to take this vacation to help celebrate with her! I am Kari and am 27. I work as a nurse at a University hospital. We have a 16 month old son, a 5 year old black lab, and are expecting a baby girl at the beginning of this October. The kids are really the only thing holding us back from booking this trip NOW, as we have only left our son a handful of times and only once overnight. However, we both think this trip would be great for us if we can just get over it and BOOK IT. We met playing softball in a local "beer" league and enjoy sports and being active as time allows. We also love wine tasting, traveling, music, and spending time with our families. Sarah is a complete social butterfly, and I know she would have an absolute blast meeting all of you!

Anyway, any info or tips you ladies have would be greatly appreciated. We look forward to hearing from you and possibly meeting you in October '12!
