Nice pick. Although in Vallarta, my retired mother lives in a condo beside the Marriott Puerto Vallarta, so I do fly there a lot and work out of her balcony. To loophole the COVID PCR Test on return, I started using the TIJ/SAN trick, and just fly Y4 or VB for close to nothing to TIJ and then use WN from SAN for close to nothing thanks to the complimentary changes they have been offering, and with them back to my casa in the USA.
Now, Cancun has to have TONS of great hotels like the Renaissance Cancun, or if you want cheaper rates, the Aloft Cancun, as both hotels are NOT in the Downtown Area, and serve well to escape on the cheap with an EP plan (Non All Inclusive) without breaking the bank. Now, if you want to break the bank, then the JW Marriott, Marriott, Westin, Westin Laguna Mar, etc.
Also to take into consideration the brand new Aloft Tulum can be a great place to work from abroad for a week
Sorry, Marriott Platinum and close to getting Life Time Platinum, so sticking to them with double elite nights starting tomorrow, until we qualify for life time. Then I will start working on Hilton, as Platinum Amex gives complimentary Gold and free breaky.
