If anyone has been there anything I should check out attraction wise. Im staying at the Royal Decameron. I heard there is a tequila factory in some small town somewhere around there.

Anyway any advice or tips on nice places to go would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much.

I was down in La Manzanilla in January. It's a couple of hours south of P.V. The snorkelling was great! Tonnes of fish! Not allot of coral right in town but across the bay at Tenacatita there is a nice reef with loads of fish. I spent hours in the water checking out the fish. Loved it! Beautifull small fishing village, highly recemended!

Sounds great. Thanks. I am definitely looking forward to this.

I know this may sound lame but Im pretty scared of sharks. Is there a lot near the shore. I dont want to be snorkelling and get bitten.
