Given the opportunity to visit Puerto Vallarta for just 48 hours, would you do it?? Of course! After enjoying a very relaxing and laid back visit in the summer at the Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort and Spa, it didn't take much to convince me to return for Air Canada Vacations MegaFam trip to Puerto Vallarta for 2 nights!
The Flight Experience
Flying on the new aircraft, the Boeing Max 737, we were one of the first to experience the comforts of the new plane, including a select few who had the privilege to enjoy business class! So utterly spoiled! Meals were excellent, cabin was comfortable and cozy, flight experience was eerily quiet and gentle making it one of the smoothest flights I've experienced in a long time.

Having visited Puerto Vallarta twice this year, it has quickly become a new favourite for me to recommend and book clients! The authentic Mexican feel and the laid back nature of the people making it a great vacation destination. We even had the chance to head down to the Malecon, to walk around and enjoy some drinks with a local Mexican band to experience the nightlife. We felt perfectly safe walking around town, taking a cab from our hotel and back. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Puerto Vallarta as a vacation destination for anyone and it's such a great option for families with its wide variety of activities available for all ages.
