Comparing RM, PC, Jamaica, PV

Here are some logistics. I have been to Riviera Maya many times, Punta Cana, Jamaica and my daughter has been to Puerto Vallarta.

Riviera Maya has the largest footprint with 300 acres carved out of the jungle on a long varied beach. The smallest of these is Palladium Puerto Vallarta with two resorts set on a cliff overlong the Pacific.  Each resort has its own unique personality.
