We're back and we had an AMAZING time! PV is so much more beautiful than I remember. We got to see whales, dolphins, mountains, palm trees... and of course, The Westin, The Mayan (Marina), Terra Noble, Las Caletas, Le Kliff and meet with Priscilla (from Prisar) and Kelley (WC for Las Calletas).
I am super swamped and overwhelmed with everything that I have to do in preparation for Xmas, work and possibly getting a new puppy tomorrow but I promise to post full reviews soon. I took a ton of pics and tried to think of you guys as well and capture as much as possible! These may take awhile to go through so please be patient with me but know that the trip was amazing!
As a mini wrap up - The Westin was wonderful, we LOVED it there. The Mayan is just as it looks in the pics - beautiful, great place for a wedding. If you want to have your wedding at a hotel I would definitely rank it top notch!! Le Kliff restaurant was beautiful and quite a view but an expensive cab ride from the hotel (it cost us $60 US roundtrip from The Westin, tip included). Terra Noble is a MUST SEE hidden gem!!! It's a spa/healing center but they can rent it out for weddings or rehearsal dinners, etc. High up in the mountains it has the most magical and spectacular view I've ever seen in my life. This is where we want our rehearsal dinner. Las Caletas is unbelievable. The boat ride honestly was nothing to be worried about - very smooth and entertaining as well! My only hesitation are all the stairs/climbing but other than that it is amazing. We still have a little discussing to do but this is probably where we will have the ceremony!
(Mayan girls: Martin absolutely fell in love with Las Caletas and really wants to have it there versus a hotel but trust me - the Mayan really is beautiful as well, so you have nothing to worry about there!!!!)

Can't wait for the review! I'm glad you saw Terra Noble too. A girl from the Knot had her wedding there and it looked so intimate and beautiful. Let me know if you would like to see her pics. I can try to track them down on one of my computers. I think I saved the weblink on one at home.
I'm so thrilled you all loved LC. I haven't been there so it's so nice when people go and talk about how wonderful it is. I won't pressure you one way or another, but our guests have been so excited about the whole "adventure" the wedding is. Not many people get to take a private boat WITH open bar to a nice wedding ceremony/reception.
Good luck on the hard decision!

Welcome back! Sounds like you had a blast. There are many stairs at LC so if anyone has problems getting around it can be difficult but not impossible. I know you'll make a great choice, can't wait to see pics of everything!
