Questions about Playa Grande

Jan 06, 2010

Hi!

We are a family of 4 and we have a two bedroom booked for this summer. I am curious about a few things. First, where are the two bedroom suites located. Our confirmation states that our unit sleeps 8. We have two small kids and we are on a budget so we want to eat meals in our unit as much as possible. Where do you go shopping? Is there a bbq on property or on the balcony? Just curious. How do you get from the airport to the hotel? I DO NOT want to drive in Mexico. (We are not good at it!)

Any other suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks in advance!

We purchased unit 1206 for weeks 4 and 41 sight unseen. How do I find out what amenities this unit has since I have seen such a vast aray of ones listed on the rentals -- VCR, dishwasher, stove, internet access, etc. Thanks

Hi,

We have been owners for 10 yrs and NEVER trade our units. We love Playa Grande--great location, within walking distance to town, view of marina and "swim with the dolphins" from The Ridge, great staff, multiple pools and hot tubs, great beach, ( without vendors) activities, etc.

It sounds as though you have rented a penthouse or presidential. Each of them has bedrooms on the sides separated by the living/dining/kitchen/tv viewing areas. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, one bedroom has 2 double beds, and there's a 3/4 bathroom off the tv viewing area. There is a nice balcony. There are no bbq's on the property.

The kitchen doesn't have an oven or dishwasher but is nicely equipped including coffeepot, toaster, blender, micro, and 4 burner stove, plenty pots/pans, dishes, etc.

We book our transportation through Cabo Tours (1-866-348-6286), they have a website as well (think it's Cabotours.com) When you book, you will have access to activities at a discount and a "Cabo Tours Fun Card" which entitles you to discounts at restaurants and shops. Cabs are expxensive to/from airport, Cabo Tours is a little more reasonable.

You probably know there is no swimming in the ocean at the resort because of riptides but there is a public beach on the other side of the marina.

I hope you enjoy your stay. We own Christmas week and a floater between weeks 15 and 45 on the Ridge.

There is a Walmart at the edge of town coming from airport. They have some bilingual employees. And a small grocery store in town that has a decent assortment, more expensive but convenient

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us, bousquette.sy@gmail.com.

Hi Connie,

Not sure what size unit 1206 is or if it's on The Ridge or down below at the original portion of the resort. All units have 4 burner stove, coffeepot, toaster, blender, micro, pots/pans, dishes, etc., but no ovens or dishwashers. VCR's may still available to rent, internet access is available to owners at no charge. Studios have a smaller kitchen and perhaps a 2 burner stove (don't remember).

We have owned at Playa Grande for ten years, started with a 1 bd, upgraded to a penthouse on The Ridge (wk 52), added a studio (wk 1), exchanged studio for 1 bd (wk 1), bought 1 bd floater on Ebay, exchanged those units for a presidential (wk 15-45) and have not regretted the purchases. Great location-- walking distance to town, view of marina and dolphinarium from The Ridge, great staff, beautiful setting, well-kept units, can't wait to return.
