Sabal Playa Puerto Vallarta Mexico. In December 2022 I set sail on the Carnival Panorama for a west coast Mexico cruise. This is Puerto Vallarta day of the cruise, and our first day in port. In Puerto Vallarta, I took a shore excursion (booked through the cruise line) called Play, Relax, Unwind at Sabal Playa (and the resort they took us to was Sabal Playa). It took about half an hour by bus to get to the resort, and we had four hours there. It was a lovely relaxing day, and a great way to spend time on vacation. The beach was nice, but the infinity pool was better. There were plenty of shade umbrellas to relax under both poolside and on the beach. The vendors came up to the property line, but stayed on the beach side, so if you wanted to shop you could walk over to them, but they did bother you at the pool.
The resort was not all inclusive, but it was not expensive either.
