He has an outstanding reputation and would NEVER sell you anything but the highest quality silver. He's a great guy who's been in business for many years. We have bought all sorts of silver jewelry from him over the years. He has a large collection in his small space. He guarantees what he sells and will fix anything if needed. This year, I bought a man's thick bracelet that fit my small wrist perfectly. His shop is not the easiest to find. He is in a palapa just north of Daquiri Dick's or the Blue Shrimp on Olas Altas. His business is called Paraiso de Flor. Just look for the small sign outside his business.

I was in search of tasteful Puerto Vallarta-emblazoned shirts and found some! ATMOSPHERE: It's a small outdoor courtyard surrounded by souvenir shops including a small open air bar in the middle. EXPERIENCE: The shop I purchased from has no sign posted but they're on the right side, smack dab in the middle if you're entering from the Malecón. The simplistic designs on display caught my eye. They had a multiple BOGO promo which we took advantage of. Pricing was fair, about $15 USD each. Credit cards accepted. Service was attentive and friendly.

These little shops here are purchasing their goods from (lots of "made in china") big stores and reselling. Be prepared to haggle. Walking at night with families should be cautious.

This review is based on the mini workshop aimed at kids…read more I'm thinking the high average rating of this place is from the actual workshops that are not the mini one tailored to kids. The workshop advertises itself as a place to "make chocolate"; I guess I interpreted this a little too literally. The workshop consisted of literally pouring melted chocolate into molds and then adding some toppings like nuts or sprinkles to it. While this was very fun for my daughter who is a toddler, I felt ripped off for this experience. Furthermore, that you aren't even provided enough chocolate to complete your molds is a little disappointing in my opinion. Others in my group seemed to agree. The chocolate itself is very pricy, especially for the quality. It was more expensive than the pricier bars I've seen at Whole Foods. However, if you go to the botanical gardens, this chocolate is sold there but for about 25% more than what is in the shop. It also would have been nice to have had dark chocolate as an option for the experience. I think just having one type (milk chocolate) is an easy way for choco museum to improve. While our host was friendly and informative, it felt like a stretch to call this place a museum. I did learn stuff, but it seems you could only access the "museum" if you paid for a workshop.

Be prepared to relax and enjoy your meal as it is prepared fresh. I ate here the first time out of desperation - it was close to my hotel and I didn't feel like walking and was feeling lazy. I deliberately ate here on my last night since I was so impressed with my first experience. The coconut cheesecake pie was so delicious and it was huge. There was no way I wasn't finishing. The wait staff are super friendly and kind and didn't laugh when I had to substitute in a word or two in English. If I ever come back to PV, I'm definitely coming back for the catch of the day and a dessert or three. Durante mis cinco días aquí, comí en este lugar la mejor comida y el mejor postre de todo el viaje. De hecho, fue el único restaurante al que regresé por segunda vez. Recomiendo muchísimo la pesca del día y cualquiera de los postres que tengan en exhibición. Vengan preparados para relajarse y disfrutar, porque la comida se prepara fresca al momento. La primera vez que comí aquí fue casi por desesperación: estaba cerca de mi hotel, no tenía ganas de caminar y, la verdad, me dio flojera. Pero la última noche regresé a propósito porque mi primera experiencia me había impresionado muchísimo. El postre de cheesecake de coco estaba increíblemente delicioso ¡y era enorme! No había manera de que me fuera sin terminarlo. El personal es súper amable y atento, y ni siquiera se rieron de mí cuando tuve que sustituir una que otra palabra en español por inglés. Si algún día regreso a Puerto Vallarta, definitivamente volveré por la pesca del día... y por uno, dos o hasta tres postres.
