What a beautiful town!

by Srechko - last update: Jul 13, 2004

Perfect Mix of local and touristy activities

Panorama
I was not quite sure what to expect from Puerto Vallarta. I knew I wanted to spend my vacation in authentic Mexican town, stay in a place with decent night life, and enjoy sun and the sea.

From the first moment I stood on the ground of Puerto Vallarta, I knew that this is what I was looking for.
P.V. Old Town

Lots to offer

This town and its surroundings offered me what I was looking for - adventure, relxation, taste of local culture, excellent night life, and nice beaches.

What we did...

We spent here 7 days, stayed in 2 different hotels (both in downtown romantic zone), visited surrounding villages and beaches of Mismaloya, Bucherias, and Boca de Tomatlan, met a few locals (and other tourists), explored the area, and tasted local food. I have no regrets...

Pros:"Perfect mix of local culture and touristy activities"
Cons:"Way too many time shares and beach vendors"
In A Nutshell:"Definitely would come back!"

 Helpful tourist trap tip, PV might be somewhat famous because of a movie shot there but that's not a reason to visit.....the reason is the same reason why they chose to do a movie there. It's spectacular scenary.

 Good job finding the best local bar, Viejo Vallarta sounds like a lot of fun!
