Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Beautiful Parish. Centrally located in Zona Romantica near the Malecon. Open to the public and still has regular service.

    Puerto Vallarta is an awesome destination for vacation! We had a great excursion experience with Vallarta Adventures, taking us to Yelapa and Majahuitas, feeding us, able to snorkel, kayak, ride a 4-wheeler, and visit some of the local community and vendors. The beach scene at Suyalita was a great vibe as well. A bit crowded, but the people are friendly and the food is excellent!

    The beach is one of the main attractions of Puerto Vallarta. It has many restaurants fronting it with tables, chairs, and umbrellas. An ideal place to relax, people-watching and the view of the sunset.

    The area is extremely popular with the LGBTQ community with several beach clubs catering to the LGBTQ crowd. A perfect place for daytime parties.

    Water sports activities are also available, Lots of vendors walking around selling variety of things.
