Was hoping to go to Puerto Vallarta this Nov and Dec. What is it really like down there? Covid situation for tourists?

Does anybody REALLY want to risk being confined to a Mexican hospital or even quarantined to a hotel room? Yes, being vaccinated in a country where a scant few are, is some comfort, but is it worth it?
Nobody loves traveling to Mexico any more than I do, but I'm giving it a rest. Let's get more vaccines into the arms of Mexican Nationals.

I am fully vaccinated with Pfizer. Did you get Pfizer in Mazatlan. Thanks kindly for the information.
We also have plans for 3 weeks in PV this November and are still planning to go. We moved last years weeks to this year and got our miles back for 2020 and applied them to the 2021 flight. Our 3 weeks are at the Buganvilias and we have our Sky Suite one week and then 2 weeks in an oceanfront unit. We are not planning to go out and about as much as usual, but are hoping to just enjoy sitting on the deck, listening to the waves and reading. We did that at the Grand Mayan in Puerto Penasco back in May and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Mega is just a few blocks away and we generally buy food for breakfast and some meals in our unit. We will probably do more this year as we can walk to the Mega and buy enough for a week and take a taxi back with plenty of food and beverages. I can make a lot of things with rotisserie chicken. We can also eat at the resort some as they have several restaurants.
Sorry to be a debbie downer but yes Mexico was in a huge new upsurge of cases,which has started a downward trend except in Lakeside area, ie: Ajijic which is still climbing. There is yet another surge predicted for November or December. Many are still not vaccinated, slow going and mask enforcement in Jalisco is terrible. Choose your resorts wisely. I am headed to Casa Velas sunday and then Paradise Village after that, fingers crossed on Paradise Village.
I just submitted a review of my July trip to Villa Del Palmar during Jalisco's highest surge. I really like that resort but wow they fell short.

Pam, be safe, treat it seriously, you'll get through this. Are you vaxxed?Staff at Paradise village masked and following protocol, tourists well maybe 50%.
I am going to PV inMid Dec., but frankly another surge is expected, likely so after seeing last nights Day of the Dead celebration on the malecon. Wow,I thought there still was a pandemic.
If you go just be very careful, vaccine numbers are no where near the states and it is crowded.
