Thought you readers would appreciate a helping of what we experienced at Punta Mita...though first, let me echo uapremier's sentiments that by the time we realized we were visiting a pig-with-lipstick, it just wasn't worth looking into switching properties (beyond the Four Seasons, which we did but couldn't find availability). Isolated, some of the anecdotes may seem trivial. Compounded by frequency and constant repetition of the same mistakes, they created a sort of Theater of the Absurd:
So your telling me that there was no other lodging at ALL within 5 miles? Hell, a cardboard box seems more tempting than what you just described. I think after 2 days of that I could have found something. Anything. No way I would have stayed there for almost a week.
What a way to start your first post.
