Two bottles of Fess
Parker Wine were available for sale in the room as was a bottle of Fiji water.

|
An excellent welcome
gift arrived: Pellegrini sparkling water and three 'formal' chocolate
covered strawberries. Our first touch of the fantastic place this hotel
really is.
|
Our accommodations
were so nice, we decided to stay in and have room service deliver our evening
meal. Above is my Caesar's salad with salmon.
Above, Sue's Cobb Salad, with cookies for dessert. |
You could just step
over the wall and walk straight to the beach, across Cabrillo Blvd.
|
The resort is a 24
acre property with vast lawns, palm trees, and Spanish style buildings.

The patio, and Sue,

|
Set your GPS for
Calle Puerto Vallarta and Cabrillo Blvd., the eastern border of the resort.
|
The large windows
in the circular structure seem authentic. Big enough to accommodate
a locomotive.
|
West side, and entry door into the Plaza del Sol. |
South side showing the proximity to the beach. |
Inside the 'roundhouse
replica' you realize that the outside wall includes windows, then there is
an interior corridor with circular arches leading into the open topped Plaza
del Sol.
Right, through the windows you can see across Cabrillo Blvd. to the south facing beach. |
|
|
One double arch is
an opening to a sidewalk to the beach.
|
Inside the Plaza
del Sol, you see one staircase to an upper level where you can see the whole
circular plaza.
|
The interior of the
Plaza del Sol with some meeting rooms on the upper level with balconies overlooking
the plaza.

The plaza and stairway to the upper level. |
The entry to the lobby from the second level. |
Sky light above the lobby. The bar (right) has
large windows facing the beach as well.
|
|
The Entry Doors and the lobby. |
Cafe Los Arcos, a
breakfast and lunch restaurant off the main lobby.
|
|
Down the eastward
circular hall from the lobby, past a beautiful blue waterfall sculpture,
is Rodney's Steakhouse.
|
East of the resort,
at Cabrillo Blvd. and Calle Puerto Vallarta is the 'Rainbow Arch' where you
can catch public transportation to the pier and downtown.
|
|
|
|
The gardens of the Fess Parker Resort are beautifully maintained. |
Bird of Paradise plant. |
|
The tall palms on
the left are along the beach and Cabrillo Blvd. The palms on the right
are on the resort property.
|
With no obstructions
between our suite and the Pacific Ocean except for silhouetted palms in the
sunset, I couldn't resist the urge to take more photos.
|
Even the reflection
in the doors to the Plaza del Sol was worth a photo.
