The staff at Bel Air Collection made us feel welcome from the start of our visit. We arrived on Christmas Eve and stayed until January 2nd. Although we did not have "all inclusive" our suite has everything I needed to prepare good meals, or we could still eat at any of the four restaurants on the premises. I scheduled a last minute "hot rocks massage" at the spa, which helped me get in the mood for the rest of the visit. My massage therapist was wonderful! She worked out my tension, then sat me down to enjoy a glass of minted water. I repeated this once more during our stay. My birthday was on the 1st ( my 50th), so it was my choice to celebrate it here. That morning, I went Para-sailing off of the beach at our hotel and experienced a rare thrill! Jet skis and other sailing craft were also available nearby. A 30 minute walk to Bucerias transported us to a charming old fishing village with great food, lots of good music, and very friendly natives. One of my best experiences was walking into a "Rug" shop owned by Javier Vicente from Oaxaca. He and his brother Vincente and their family have been hand crafting high quality wool rugs for generations. I was very impressed with the vibrant colors and unique patterns of their art work, but most importantly, Javier himself. He speaks perfect English, and he is a warm, intelligent, and outgoing person. We purchased several of his pieces and I now treasure them and look forward to purchasing more on our next visit. We also visited Downtown Puerto Vallarta. I was first attracted to the iconic Our Lady of Guatalupe Church. A beautiful architectural landmark which has been a focal point for the city for nearly 80 years. The shopping, although I am not much of a shopper, was excellent. Plenty of everything to choose from. I was surprised as how many Canadian residents and business owners were there. But everyone was helpful and friendly. Looking forward to visiting again and perhaps spending several months each year in my retirement.
