December 5 2007: The Sheraton was fairly empty in late October, so we were upgraded to a club level room which offered a great view of the ocean. Good location, just a 10-15 minute walk from the center of Puerto Vallarta. Nice pools and overall well kept grounds. Tip - if you are not interested in the Sheraton time-share presentation, let them know at the bellstand and again at the front desk when you check-in. The hotel staff are not bashful to call you multiple times throughout the first couple of days pushing the guided tour of the timeshare units.

Expert Tip. Close to the hotel, on the corner of Juarez and Leona Vicario, artisans can be seen forging copper, blowing glass, shaping ceramics and weaving textiles. Visitors are welcome to watch these craftspeople as they work.
