There is plenty diversity of places to stay, long and short term. Lots of history and murals while walking. The beaches are white sand and the water is warm. Make sure you make your way to this area, google things to do/ visit. We really enjoyed our walks along the coast line. Don't forget about the pier and the pole swingers.

We arrived thru a neighborhood and left going down the main path-super steep street so you have to be careful and of course lots of steps to get to the view.

We booked an Excursion through our Cruise and it was Operated by VALLARTA SHORE EXCURSION…read more This will be a 2 part review: 1. The Tour itself (sites, stops, food, entertainment...etc) 2. The Tour Guide Bus Driver: Brandon Tour Guide: Antonio Once we got off the cruise ship we had an easy time finding where we had to muster for our tour...and we met our tour guide: Antonio once on the bus, the people in the back had a difficult time hearing Antonio (wish he was able to speak through a speaker if some sort)...which later we would realize it wasn't any better off the bus, it was difficult hearing him outside around the bustling of the City streets. At our first stop we were getting off the bus Antonio would just walk off while persons with disabilities or people with kids got left behind...Thank goodness the other tourists in our group helped keep our group together. It would have been nice if Antonio had waited for the last of the people and/or had a flag that was noticeable (he didn't have or do either) Great photo ops with famous landmarks like the Puerto Vallarta Sign (but you have to compete with other tourist), street performers, street artist, musicians. Afterwards, we got back on the bus to head towards our next stop to get some Margaritas...but get this...the margaritas were served inside a jewelry shop in the back while competing with already a packed jewelry store and navigating though and with pushy salespeople...that was off putting to say the least. We spent a ridiculous amount of time in the jewelry store. Afterwards, we got back on the bus...and Antonio told the bus driver we were good to go, but a number of tourists in our group was like hold up we're missing people...we literally almost left 4 people behind. Antonio (Our Guide) DID NOT do a head count! It were the people in the bus watching out for each other...it was the excursion goers who realized people from our group were missing! After finding the rest of the people (the missing 4) we headed towards a Tequila distillery (aka The Ranch) to learn more about Tequila, Tequila making, and sampling tequilas (3 of the common tequilas and 3 flavored Tequilas: Peach, Almond and Coffee) I had never had flavored Tequilas...they were so good we had to purchase a sample pack of all 3 flavors. After our tequila tasting, nobody could find out your guide...eventually, someone found him eating by himself...and he was like oh yeah, get in line and get some food! The food was imho meh, good enough to eat but nothing to rave about. We had beans, Ensalada de Napales (a bit slimy compared to other napales I've had), Pollo con Mole, Arroz, Quesadillas... While eating we got to watch friendly competition games amongst multiple tourists, the kids got to swing at a piñata, watch traditional Mexican dancers, and a cowboy on a dancing horse. Just like most tours, tips are not necessary but highly appreciated, bring cash for tipping. Overall, the things we did like the Site seeing were highlights but the tour could have been better (possibly) if we had a different tour guide... But honestly, almost leaving 4 tourists behind...was a WOW moment...inexcusable! And the Margarita inside the jewelry store...with no warning was tacky! We spent a lot of time in that jewelry store then we needed to. This Overall Tour could have gotten a higher rating review (4-4.5) if we had a different (better) tour guide.
