Puerto Vallarta

The city was great

My friends and I went about 15 minutes north by Jeep and found an incredibly beautiful, deserted beach. There was a small cafe on the beach, with a tank full of different fish. One friend picked out a red snapper, and within an hour we had incredible grilled red snapper, fresh tortillas, homemade salsa, mangos, and more I don’t remember. By then I was foregoing alcohol and drinking bottled water – it was one of the last days of our 10-day trip. That was the best red snapper! I usually didn’t care for that kind of fish (give me salmon any meal every meal), but it was delicious! I walked alone south along the water and found several different types of coral washed up at the high tide line; only a few more people showed up at that beach for the whole day. The people were all nice, the food good, and I didn’t get sick at all – ate everything I wanted, but drank only bottled water.

It’s been a long time. Going here was the first time I had ever been outside the United States. I remember the water reminded me a lot of beer (given that it was on the other side of Mexico) washing up on the shore. I came home with about a pound of sand dollars, a sunburn, and wonderful memories.

We are making plans to go here from June 19 to June 26. I am super excited. :)

wow, just got back, found some nice and deserted beaches, would definetly want to go back, great weather, lovely restaurants…

Plain and simple, the people of Puerto Vallarta are amazing. It was the most humbling experience of my life and I cant wait to return. Stay at a resort, but go out and meet the people. You wont regret it.

Spoiled,spoiled, spoiled! Never have I had a man (with an accent) spray me with cool water as I sunbathed. Every need was catered to, the drinks & food were fabulous at the hotel & in town.

come out here, stay at a villa, have margaritas, and relax.
steer clear from the nightlife!
also, ull find great non-mexican food restaurants.
why is silver sooo expensive here?
its THE beach spot to visit in mexico!
gay-friendly too!

I love Puerto Vallarta. The first time i went was when i was only 3 and loved it since. Hopefully one day ill be able to walk it’s beaches again. ;.-(

Bring American Dollars and DO NOT use any ATM’s!! I used an ATM and my bank locked my account for the rest of my trip!!
