Experience Vallarta

Riviera Nayarit, 10 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, is an exclusive location offering the very best in hotels, spas and restaurants. Grand Velas All Suites & Spa Resort can be found in this beautiful region.

La Terraza de La Abuela (Grandmother’s Terrace) presents the best of both worlds. Located next to the Soriana near the main road of PV, it has neither a beach-front location nor a spectacular view. But this restaurant is decorated in a very authentic, tasteful Mexican style, with gorgeous tile work, craftsman-style tables and chairs, rustic chandeliers and clay pottery dishes.

I was delighted to discover Si Señor Restaurant a few weeks ago, as I went to dinner downtown with my family. The host welcomed us very kindly and gave us a table on the terrace. In the entrance they have different sorts of interesting birds such as Toucans and Cockatoos as well koi carps and Mexican handcrafts.

Take a day trip to the south of the bay to discover a crystal clear water and white sand paradise. Punta Negra is a semi-private condo beach located only 7 km south of the center of Puerto Vallarta, right after Rio Nogalito, therefore it is very quick and convenient to get to.

This is a tour made by Vallarta Adventures. It is a boat trip that takes you to the southern beaches of the Bay of Banderas in particular the beach Las Caletas. At 9:30 am we disembark from the Marina Terminal on a 1 hour and 15 minute journey to this private beach. Along the way we saw alot of dolphins who seemed to be playing along side the craft in their successful attempt to garner our attention. the spectacle was a delight for all.

Sayulita is a small village situated only 40 minutes drive from Nuevo Vallarta, is the perfect place to experience the ultimate relaxed surfing experience. With its picturesque hotels and restaurants along the beach, it’s an ideal scenery to enjoy the beach and the beautiful view.

A little taste of “real” Mexico, minutes away from your hotel. Come to Pitillal and be pleasantly surprised by what this little Mexican village has in store for you.

Mexican horsemen/women parade through town wearing beautifully decorated jackets, pants and sombreros on finely brushed horses decked with their best equipment. Festivities continue throughout the day and evening at various charro rings, including bullfights, calf roping, food and dancing.
