Cabo vs. Puerta Vallarta

[chitownbelle]

We are looking at spending up to a week at a Secrets resort the first week of November.  Price wise, Cabo and PV are pretty comparible.  We've done Riviera Maya and figure if we do go back to MX, we want west coast.

Any experiences at the Secrets resorts in either of these locations, and suggestions on which locale is better?

I've never been to PV but I've been to Cabo many, many times. There are only a few swimmable beaches in Cabo and unfortunately the beach infront of secrets is not swimmable. The main swimming beach is further south down in front of the Pueblo Bonito Rose and basically protected inside the harbor. That being said I love Cabo. I own a timeshare there and go down as much as possible. I love the downtown area and feel very safe there.  There are a ton of really good restaurants and things to do. You should check out the boards on trip advisor. I know the Mexico ones are very active and the posters there might be able to give your some better insight into Secrets in PV. Good Luck!

I've never been to Secrets but visited Cabo this summer. There are only 3 swimmable beaches over a 30 mile stretch. If you enjoy the water, go elsewhere. I felt very safe in Cabo and San Jose del Cabo. It is easy to take the local bus if you want to go exploring.
