Mexico

[ElGringo]

From my experience mazatlan just seems more "friendly", and I liked the beach there better. Of course the fact that I go to vallarta every time I fly out probably doesn't help. Whenever in Vallarta I had other things on my mind, and never really relaxed and just enjoyed the beaches, but it did seem more Americanized the Vallarta. I am not sure that all the activities will be available for Winter Break as when I go, but we were first in Mazatlan for 5 days, and could have stayed 5 more and still had plenty to do (and none of our activities were planned before we got there). Just my 2 cents.
