its looks fun over there, someday i should go! well have fun!

 

I went last year. We didn't get a rental car. We signed up for one of the timeshare presentations, and they gave us a limo from the airport to our hotel (but not for the return trip). They provided free breakfast the 2nd day we were there, a small bottle of tequila, plus gave us a bunch of free activities. I guess it was worth it for 2-3 hours of our time. We cabbed it most of the time into town, but our hotel was close (Villa del Palmar). We were a short walk down the beach from The Office.

Pretty fun, but I was surprised by how cold the water was, how strong the currents were, and how harsh/grainy the sand was. We didn't really spend much time in the ocean/sea. Most of the time we were by the hotel pool or out doing activities.

 

Montego?! Yes it is much safer than that. Bonita is nice.

 

I was there last year. Car rentals is not cheap. I rented a car for the 5 days I stayed there and probably used it twice driving to Costco. Finding a parking space is not easy at downtown.

 

Most of the resorts have rental car onsite where you can rent the car for the day. It is a little expensive - a tiny Chevrolet Chevy (yes the model name was Chevy) was $55/day including tax.

 

It's a beautiful place. My family is there quite often at the Villa. Make sure you specify the vehicle type you want. They told me i'd receive a VW, and I assumed that meant a Jetta/Bora etc. Well, that wasn't the case. I ended up with a Wrangler by the end of the week, and thought it was the perfect vehicle for that climate.

Here are some pictures...

 

head to the Cabo Wabo cantena...Ive never been but would like to go..

 

Over rated - Hemmingway's across the street (north side) is much better
