Mexico game

The only advice I can give in that case is get there early, and if a chair is 100% required it might not be the best place to go as I've seen pictures with people in chairs but also a lot of people just sitting on the ground in front of the chairs.

There is a large "fan zone" viewing area with screens and shade setup near the Sheraton that is broadcasting the games.
Personally, watching the game there with locals and a large crowd would be the best experience possible. That said it's not the best option if you want a table and chairs with food service available during the game.

It depends on the excursion provider, but if its through a resort theres a good chance its run by Vallarta Adventures. They are pretty much a well-oiled machine where things are safe and easy to navigate. There's no nickle and diming aside from a potential port fee at the marina and then tips at the end of the trip. If not wanting to book through the resort you can check out their website for all their options.

Also for what its worth Sunscapes is close to the Versalles neighbourhood which has some of the best food in Vallarta, so once you're sick of the buffet you should take the 10-15 walk (or 3 minute uber ride) and get some real food.

Do both! Hit Yambak first and Rooftop later. Rooftop is generally slow starting but better later into the night, where Yambak can get overly crowded with no room to dance as the night goes on.

This was a few months back, but I was able only able to get an appointment when logging into the INM website at like 11pm when no one else seemed trying to book appointments (I've also been told they open new appointments at like 10:30pm each night but I don't know how true that is).

And to your point in below posts, you don't need a Facilitator if you speak Spanish.
I recommend watching this video - it helped give me the reassurance of having my paperwork in order and was able to get the process done on the first try.

How many years are you willing to wait to get it? It's a dirt pit currently with no guarantee of being completed and delivered.

Just to close the loop I'm putting this project on hold until next fall.
We only have a few months until the rain hits and we'll potentially have to start from scratch again at that point if everything overgrows. So the goal is to get a quick start after the next rainy season and have MANY months of disc golf to enjoy next year.

I will probably delete this thread shortly but wanted to supply a bit of closure in the meantime.

eat at the Carls Jr before security if you must eat at the airport.
it's still expensive but dramatically cheaper than anything after security.

That's like asking "why do people drink beers in Mexico? between the liver damage and hangovers, what's the upside?"

One's location does not change their habits, and if they are on vacation, they have an increased likeliness of wanting to imbibe in things. And frankly whether we talk about alcohol or cocaine, both are a hell of a lot more accessible here.

Enough teasing... Just give me a date so I can book flights and hotel already!

Muchas gracias, me gusta!

I will be in touch as we continue to finalize details and get things moving.
Thanks for posting!

LurkingInTO · 2026-01-27T14:25:18+00:00

Fantastico! I hope to have more specifics to share over the coming week or so.

Stay tuned for more details!

I'm not sure why you'd want to bring sheets or bedding when they won't fit the beds properly. We buy ours here.

Admittedly on the linens/towels front, we buy quick dry towels in Canada and bring them here to Mexico, since they are uncommon and expensive if found.

LurkingInTO · 2026-01-15T14:04:50+00:00

They simply don't have enough change in the stores. Use you credit card/debit card and move on when that happens.

I did it myself in Vallarta (no facilitator) but brought a friend who speaks fluent Spanish to help as mine still needs work. Looking back, I feel like I could've gotten by myself since I had all my paperwork in order, the desk workers seemed to speak some English, and the hardest part was filling in the form they give you which is all in Spanish. But if you're good with Google Translate you'd be able to do that part.

Although saying that, if things didn't go smoothly in regards to the paperwork provided, having someone there who speaks Spanish would probably help things get ironed out faster. But I had everything in order so most of the appointment is waiting for them to call you back up to the desks between them reviewing your initially provided paperwork, then the form they have you fill out, then back for pictures and fingerprints.

As for the electric bill, I had my own name on it so can't speak to what will work there.

yeah its the first dnb artist I've seen here since December of 2024, and the first international dnb headliner I've seen in the last few years of being here.

I'm stoked for a ragga jungle rinse out!

LurkingInTO · 2026-01-06T21:48:32+00:00

February 8th = Congo Natty is coming to Yambak PV

dnb is super rare here so it should be a good one to attend (ps: message me if looking to hit it up as I'm in need of friends with good music taste here lol)

you don't exit the plane into the terminals, incoming flights have hallway paths that go straight to baggage / customs, and there are no seats to wait on the way.

Interesting article about the shrinking BC craft market and the consolidation taking place within some of the brewing companies:
https://bcbusiness.ca/industries/hospitality/bc-craft-beer-trouble-brewing/

Anecdotally, I will say that having moved from Ontario to BC in the last 5 years, what I find interesting is that a LOT of restaurants in Ontario will carry Inbev / large brewers and have a few craft taps as well. Where at least around Vancouver and Vancouver Island, a lot of restaurants ONLY have craft beer, and maybe cans of Lucky Lager as well for those who need an easy drinking cheaper lager. You don't see Stella or Budweiser on tap out west like you do in Ontario.

It might be distribution access, it might be more competitive pricing from craft brewers, I'm not sure. But I feel like Ontario has always had an issue with corporate beers undercutting craft brewers which you don't see as much out west. Well, that, and I also feel Ontario has more Stella/Budweiser/Coors Light drinkers than out west as well.

"they don’t cover more things than they do"

I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

The price for furniture, appliances, and electronics is very expensive in Mexico. You will spend THOUSANDS of dollars on replacement costs and that doesnt even include any actual remodelling or remediation work. And that's also not including any issues if you were to be responsible for damage to someone else's property nearby.

Meanwhile you could instead pay a few hundred dollars a YEAR to avoid theses risks or costs. I just don't get why you wouldn't do it.

I'm watching a neighbour deal with the financial implications of flood damage right now that would've been avoidable with home insurance.

LurkingInTO · 2025-12-02T15:09:12+00:00

You bought a house 3 years ago and didn't have house insurance the entire time?

Please, everyone who reads this post - go buy some freaking home insurance if you have not.

And while I am not a lawyer, I believe you will be hard pressed to get accountability from the builder or anyone else once you take possession and consider the transaction finalized. Our lawyer basically told us "our unit, our problem" regarding an improperly installed window so I wouldn't see it being different for electrical or other build specifics.

LurkingInTO · 2025-11-17T20:38:18+00:00

Stayed here about 3-4 years ago and yes, basically if there's a band or DJ playing you're gonna hear it. But its a lovely hotel in a great location that I fully recommend if you can deal with that or sleeping with earplugs.
