T-Dot,
I can agree with much of what you have written with a couple of exceptions.
Sr. Chavez has built and then torn down numerous buildings and structures never used in Nuevo Vallarta alone.
After tearing down the yellow and red MP buildings by the beach ( I saw them painting trim, etc just before ripping them down), ok, he gets more bang from the GL pools built there.
But he adds extensions to the remaining MP (formerly blue),and then tears down one of the new extensions unused and two of the remaining MP buildings. In addition, builds docks and a walled waterway around the MP and then rips it up unused. Why would an engineering major do this?
In May 2012, I watched them build an elevated roadway to the second GL for the purpose of shops that were to be built in the middle floors. Next time there, roadway gone, shops now in the middle building of the last MP. Confused as to why build it and tear it down, poor planning? Wouldn't it have been better financially to do it right the first time?
The walling off the the exit from the GM to the SG is another point. An HOA would have been a big voice for stopping that as well as the new entrance pointing away from NV. Haven't been too many who have agreed with those moves, even though you have several times mentioned how easy the beach walk to SG is. Having been to NV many times since 2003, I have to disagree. The security reasons are a ruse. Just getting to transportation and a cab is a hardship for many.
Pueblo Bonito resorts in Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas offer complimentary coach bus transportation between their resorts on the hour all day, something Vidanta should do for their guests.
