Review for the thursday night markets here. A lot of booths here, mostly selling little trinkets and souvenirs. Some of the booths have similar or even identical stuff. The price initially offered is not cheap. I think it's pretty much expected you'll have to haggle a bit. It should be pretty easy to haggle it down to at least 50% of the original price. If you are persistent enough and have enough time and energy to haggle more, you can probably cut the price down even further. Whether that's worth it is up to you to decide. I was hoping that there would be more food stalls but I couldn't find any except for a few down at the tail end of the marina towards the south. We were pretty hungry by then but most of the restaurants were already full or booked out so we ended up taking a uber somewhere else for food. read more

It's a subtle version of the Malecon and although it doesn't have the majestic shoreline view Malecon has, it's just as good in its own right. Hubbers and I decided to find a place to eat before doing errands (mainly to find souvenirs to bring home) and I suggested strolling through the marina. It's almost like a not-so-hidden gem because it's next to many hotels. And it's not like it's a small little itsy-bitsy place for tourists to explore either: it seemed never ending! Plenty of shops, lots of eateries, and I also noticed tons of massage places. (This must be in some kind of demand....?) The only thing that kinda tarnished the overall experience are the relentless sales peeps pressuring you to check out their place. There are way too many of them on this continuous heckling that even ignoring them didn't budge them a bit. (I just walked faster... that worked pretty good, even to my surprise!) Hubbers and I found a place for breakfast grub - and it wasn't one of those places who have hecklers which made it even more attractive. But that's for another review. Otherwise, it was a good place to start the day. If you're lucky enough to have accommodations nearby and want to get some steps in, this is a good place to do it - even more especially since the whole place is shaded and will protect you from the unforgiving blares of the sun during the hot season! (It's also a good place to dream about which yacht you might someday own and plan to dock up in here!) So if you have a bit of down time, this might be a good place to spend it... read more

Looking for something close to the port off the cruise. It was advertised as upscale shopping and restaurants. I didn't see either. Ck out downtown instead. read more

A nice promenade around a marina stuffed with yachts of all sizes. Up to 3 huge cruise ships can dock nearer the entry to the marina, dominating the view to the south. My sense is that most ship-goers head to the Malecon, as the Marina has not been overly crowded. For the sun-sensitive, you can walk along a covered walkway populated by little shops of all types...just know that one of the tour operators is likely to try to strike up a conversation with you or pester you to get you to stop. You'll find a few nice boutiques, too many "farmacias" to count, a convenience store (OXXO), a few places to get coffee, lots of bars, and numerous restaurant options. Thursday nights are supposed to be special, with lots of additional vendor kiosks set up to sell their wares. read more

Great place for a stroll or if you need to burn a few hours before your flight. It's great that it is about a 3 min drive from the airport. There are restaurants and shops that line this marina, has a nice cool breeze and not hectic at all. I hear sometimes crocodiles actually come onto the walking path so always watch where you are going. Overall, it's a friendly and chill place to be. It's also right next to Neptuno Mall for even more shopping and eating if you have the stamina. There is free parking here, surprisingly, and also a lot of pharmacies for all of your needs-especially if you need bottled water and super cheap too! Highly recommend this area! read more

"A Cute, Small and Friendly Area" Conveniently located just a short 5 minute bicycle ride away from out hotel at the Marriott. This place is a nice quiet area to spend some down time at. We decided to come here every morning to stroll and habe breakfast during our stay and its always pleasant. Its a break from the loud areas of the malecon and zona Romantica so I really appreciated that. As you stroll by the marina, restaurant host greets you good morning so it felt like a small community welcoming you in their area. Aside from restaurants there are other small shops and some spas that they offer in this area. read more

The Marina was walking distance to my hotel so this was a daily visit for me. This area has lots of restaurants. I made sure to visit the Starbucks several times. We ate at Victors which was a treat. We were able to have shots with the man himself! We also had the opportunity to go to the Thursday night ate walk. Lots of energy, locals and visitors. Local folks bring everything from art to home made desserts. This is a must visit while visiting Vallarta... read more
