This is a second follow-up review. This is our 7th year at CTV in the summer (late June/early July). We were a party of 8 with several new recruits and stayed mostly in Vida Mar. An important thing about repeating a vacation in the same place, time, and with similar travel mates is that however you pack you pack your bag according to your annually refined list, you always pack you expectations….can a good experience be repeated year after year? You introduce other folks you consider worthy, but people change, your are older, the stairs are more a challenge, the planning more precise, and then, after 6 hours of travel, you descend down the steep side of Calle Sagiatio and arrive. Jose, Roberto, Romero, Eduardo, Pablo, and Daniel are there, like always…as are the Margaritas, guac and salsa. You sit at the round marble table on Sol and you are back in paradise and right at home.
You can check my previous reviews for details, but the key to CTV is it that it is the best place I have ever been to just relax…….read, sun, swim, pool, eat, chat, drink, and have the best naps.
