Anyone know anything about this place? There are no reviews. II says it's a 5 star. Appreciate any info at all. Thanks
 
Re: rancho Banderas Vacation Villas, NUEVO Vallarta

There are several reviews, but since it is in Nuevo Vallarta :doh: , if you are looking under Puerto Vallarta, it will be hard to find. :wave:

I'm going to be there in July, so I'll post a review when I get back, as there are very few current reviews on RB. Also check the tripadvisor forums. There is some info. there.
 
What type of information are you looking for? I have been to the resort for short visits with my brother-in-law. I have some photo albums I can sent you a link to if you want to check them out. I just need an email address.

The resort was very nice and relaxing. Has several activities on site with a great beach. Pool is nice but on the cold side. Rooms are beautiful, beds comfortable. Not as hard as most in Mexico. I would recommend you get a car if your staying there since it is so far from town.

What else would you like to know?

Marsha, I'd love the link to your photo albums. mayson1299@yahoo.com . Thank you so much. I'm going to visit RB in July and am looking forward to it. Do you know if there is construction going on at the resort? Also, I wasn't planning on renting a car, since we're going to be travelling with young children and weren't planning to leave the resort much, except maybe to take the bus to Bucerias one day. Do you know the approx. cab fare from airport to RB? Thanks.:hi:
 
Here is the link to my album and I also sent one directly to the email you gave me. There a just a few of the grounds and then some of a 1 bedroom unit and another of the 3 bedroom unit we stayed in.

Last year they were adding more rooms and were almost done with the builiding they were working on. I did not go up and see my brother-in-law this year (April 06) as we just met in town for dinner for a few nights so I don't know if they have started another building or not. I could send an email but it will be a few days before I will know anything.

I have not done the cab to Rancho but once 3 years ago. I believe we paid about 25-30 US dollars. You can do the bus it is not as easy with luggage and all unless your backpack travelers. If you do the bus you still have to walk from the main road to the resort. Few blocks in the hot sun.

The resort used to have a shuttle. Only runs a few times in to town but if you send an email to the resort you might be able to get an update if they still do that and what the times & cost is.

If you do day trips, Bucerias is wonderful. If you want a great meal go to Adauto's Beach Club. On the main beach off downtown, he is the last restaurant at the far north end of the beach. Punta is a nice beach to take kids to also. Very small waves compared to other areas and the beach does not have the quick drop off.
