Hey Mrs. Smigs - I'm still waiting for prices from Bahia de Los Suenos - we loved it - it is so amazing! Will keep you updated!
Shanny - it is totally safe for Americans on the Volaris shuttle bus. We didn't feel unsafe one bit. There are buses that leave from downtown San Diego and LA and take you right across the border to the airport (no getting off until you get there). When they pick you up after your trip you go and get off the bus - walk through customs, then get back on the bus to go back to San Diego.
I was definitely worried at first so I know why they are thinking that way - but my Mexican friends told me that they are only after the police and other drug cartels (as far as the violence) and even that has gone down a lot. If you go during the day on the shuttle bus they will be fine. My friends work in TJ so they go down their daily - they said they wouldn't go at night but in the light of day you are fine - especially if you are on the big bus with all Americans.
It was definitely worth the price savings for us! So easy.
