Since this is the next stop on my cruise. I thought we could take a visit and discover some of the greatest activities and places in Puerto Vallarta.  I have been to this part of Mexico, once before and I have found that the most beautiful place that is a MUST SEE is the Nikki Beach in Puerto Vallarta. You have to look at this place,

For an entire day on the beach, in a cabana with lounge chairs rapped in white linen you can find the deepest feeling of relaxation for only$60! Once you have spent a good portion of the day lying around, you will be ready for some excitement. Well, don’t worry- Puerto Vallarta is full of excitement. I would recommend banana boating; it is cheap, fun and definitely a memorable experience! From Nikki Beach hotel, you can walk right onto the beach and go in the water if you please. Or, if your more of a pool person… you can also walk to the fabulous pool at the hotel which also has a swim up bar. Here you can order drinks in coconuts, while you’re in the pool! After the sunbathing and relaxing you will probably be starving! So the last two things you MUST do in Puerto Vallarta are go grab food and walk through the town.

As you walk through the main strip of the town in Puerto Vallarta you will witness some great cultural things. My favorite is the live music out on the streets, where you are able to see another culture sing, dance and perform Photo by- crume.

La Esquina de los Caprichos, which is famous for there tapas! They are inexpensive and so delicious. They only cost about $2.50! This place is tiny but you really feel part of the Mexican culture once you’ve been there. If you don’t believe me, here is a link for some reviews: http://www.vallartaonline.com/restaurants/laesquinadeloscaprichos/reviews/ At the end of the day, talk a walk on the pier in Puerto Vallarta; it’s romantic, beautiful and peaceful. So swim, relax, and enjoy a taste of Puerto Vallarta.
