Things To Do
Zona Romántica
The best area for nightlife, boutiques, and amazing restaurants. It's also an LGBTQ hot spot - so don't miss drag at La Noche or karaoke at Kooky Karaoke. Grab a drink at Twisted Palms Rooftop Lounge, Blondie's, or Mr. Flamingo to kick off the night! Also love to grab casual food and margaritas at Margarita Grill or craft cocktails at Bar La Playa Our restaurant recommendations: Cafe des Artiste, Tintoque (a must for foodies), La Capella, La Palapa, Mar Y Vino (dine in a pool with your feet in the water), Tuna Azul, La Dolce Vita, and El Dorado.
Puerto Vallarta Malecon
A pedestrian-only boardwalk with oceanfront restaurants, shops, bars, galleries, and street performers. If you're staying through Sunday, you will see live music, street food vendors, artists, people building elaborate sandcastles, fire jugglers, you name it - truly nearly a mile long street party!
Marietas Islands & Hidden Beach Tour
This is a really fun experience - book through Vallarta Adventures or Viator!
Las Caletas
You can snorkel, kayak, take selfies with flamingos, hike around, and try out a water slide. Or do what Peter and I did and just drink daquiris in hammocks.
