Mexican Riviera Cruise

Update on the name of the restaurant in the jungle; it is Chico's Paradise, and it literally is paradise! Watch out for the coco-loco's. Tropical punch with a punch! Served in a coconut that has been decorated with fruit and chili peppers to look like a face. The sound of the running stream, mixed in with the music from the mariachis was so romantic.

We will be going again in November. I can hardly wait!

I loved your trip plan, so copied some of your activities for our family and friends cruise on Golden Princess in Nov 2007. We have been to PV before on a Holland America cruise, and arranged for our own city and jungle tour at the docks. I think we saved a little money over the ships excursions, but did have to bargain hard to do it. Booking our own allowed some freedoms probably not available with the ships tours, namely purchasing beer to drink in the van on our tour! The highlight of that trip was a restaurant out in the middle of the jungle alongside a beautiful river with giant boulders suitable for sunning and diving off of. The restaurant was an open air palapa, and had good food but the location was the best part. Wish I could remember the name, but it was south of town, about an hours drive down the main highway. Past the tequila factory (skip that; boring and not authentic!) near the area where the movie "Predator" was filmed. I can hardly wait to go back!
