Thoughts on Pvnta Cana
in Travel
Not sure if the P-word gets censored 
DH and I are trying to decide between P-Cana and Guanacaste, Costa Rica for our 1st anniversary. It would be the beg of Sept for ~1 week. because we have a travel certificate for a few days, it is limited to these 2 places. We are normally "rent a car and go explore, snorkel, drink, beach, hike" people. I have done an AI but DH has not.
Is P-Cana super resorty, like Cancun? Any excursions you rec?
Which spot would you choose?
Re: Thoughts on Pvnta Cana
ive been to both. depending on which part of CR you visit the snorkeling might suck as it's rough pacific side with black sand. caribbean side is white sand. i enjoyed both for different reasons.
PC was ok for snorkeling-nothing specular but it was ok. the beaches were nice.
in PC you CAN go and explore the culture if you want to-there's really not all that much around which is the issue. the people are fine and super nice.
in CR it's not the easiset to get around on your own-some crap roads etc.. but for the most part it's fine.
really-you have to do your research on each area to see what appeals to you more. as much as i LOVE to go and explore in CR sometimes i want a vacay where i dont ahve to do anything but sit by the pool, read a book and have a margarita.
I wasn't super impressed with PC and H and I have no desire to ever go back. It just had no personality to us.
We loved CR. Beautiful surroundings, lots to do, super nice people. Hands down, I give my vote to CR!
I've never been to CR but I have been to PC. I have to echo the posts above. Not much to do outside of your resort in PC unless you are going on a planned excursion. There really isn't much to see. Therefore if you just want a relaxing vacation hanging at the beach or by the pool at your resort, PC is fine for that. If you want to get out and explore/sightsee, PC might not be the place to go. I too really have no desire to return to PC.
