Plus the free breadfast, evening snacks and drinks, including champagne meant you could literally stay there and not spend another penny.
Just for a change, my wife wanted somewhere else next Christmas week and I booked today the Sheraton Hacienda De Mar. Now I will have the fun job of getting us there, but I did do a search and some of the posts like mmichele's above led me to select the Sheraton.
Do not dealy. Book it now. You can always cancel if you change your mind.
Incidentally, the Westin PVR screwed up our bills (we had 2 rooms) and it looks like SPG paid the hotel about $147/nt for each one.
BTW, mmichele, is there a club room with drinks/snacks at the Sheraton and did you get an ocean view room?
I just checked on the SPG website and it shows the Westin PVR as a Cat. 4. Are you sure thats it's a Cat 3? Thanks, Paul~
