The theater seems to have a good HVAC system as it was comfortable inside. They have a wonderful collection of performers with lots going on each night. We saw Sutton Lee Seymour who was hilarious, clever and talented. We both ordered peanut dust martinis - would recommend! Comes with popcorn, too. Paying with pesos/cash allows for an efficient exit.

I really wanted to give The Palm a full 5/5 because, in many ways, it deserves it. From the moment…read morewe walked in, the service was incredible--from the door all the way to our seats. The staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of right away. Our first night, we saw the Beyoncé show, and it was an absolute 10/10. The queen who performed was phenomenal. From the live singing to the dancers, the stage presence, and even the storytelling woven into the performance--you could tell real effort, time, and heart went into that show. It truly felt like a Beyoncé experience, and the bar was set extremely high. Saturday night, we came back for the Lady Gaga performance. It was different. I thought it was good, just not really my jam. The drinks were noticeably watered down, and after spending $84 USD to get in and about $170 on tickets and drinks, I left feeling disappointed--especially when the music cut off mid-show. To the performer's credit, she powered through and kept it going, which I respected. That said, after how incredible the Beyoncé show was, it was hard for the Gaga set to live up to it. I was also a little disappointed to find out it wasn't a queen performing but a woman. Had I known that ahead of time, I probably would have chosen a different venue that night. The first show was truly amazing and unforgettable, but the second night didn't quite meet that same standard. The Palm has so much potential, and when it's done right, it's magic--I just wish the experience had been more consistent.

We were greeted with a delicious cocktail made by the mixologist, Martin. Before the full tasting, the tour takes you through an interactive and realistic display, including 3D art, that educates you on the mythological origin story of Agave, its present day history, and finally the processes used to make it through the years, across the world. We felt as though they shared a very special piece of Mexico's culture with us and we will always remember this tour! We had many questions and David always had answers and was very accommodating. The tasting was prefaced with an experience meant to open your mind smelling many flavor notes brought out from the distillation process. The tasting room was very nice and Martin had prepared us each plates of snacks meant to compliment and enhance the tasting process. We've done wine tasting but this was much much more interesting and for someone who wasn't a huge fan of tequila, I have been converted! Gratuity was not expected but appreciated. They also had a store of Tequilas available for purchase, the kinds we tasted as well as many others that they also gave us tasters of. We weren't planning to, but we couldn't leave without buying some! It was a great experience, education, and awakening of your taste buds, we highly recommend!

I've done many wine tastings but this tequila tasting was an absolute experience. The tequila was great but David's knowledge and story telling made it unforgettable. He made a few of the girls cry because of his thoughtful words (or maybe it was the tequila). Either way, absolutely recommend this tasting. One of the highlights of our trip!

Plus it was the grand opening of the Casanova's outside terrace named for my world famous dog Casanova. Both Casanova and myself showed up early to enjoy David Duvall playing the piano in Mary Ann's Ovations lounge. We visited the Casanova Terrace and had a delicious bacon wrapped barbequed hot dog and a beverage. Back inside we enjoyed more music. Then at 7PM we went to see David Maiocco in Casa Karma's Red Room starring as Liberace. What a show. Not only does he have a striking resemblance to Liberace but he is world class pianist. I've never heard a piano sound so incredible. Both Casanova and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The evening was capped off with Marsha's delicious variety of homemade cookies and a 50/50 Raffle, both benefiting the Elevator Fund. We can't thank David Sabella and Cate Valcic enough for putting together another fantastic evening of entertainment. They are working so hard to make Act 2 PV the entertainment showplace of Puerto Vallarta. Applause and Congratulations to them both!

Buying tickets at the box office is a simple and smooth transaction. Then head over to the bar for a cocktail before the theater doors open. My group had premium tickets so we were seated first in the best section. Once inside we were served more drinks before the show and during intermission. The actors were fantastic and quite talented. The seats comfortable and production excellent for a small local theater. The show was hilarious and interactive. Such a fun time!! There are so many wonderful shows playing here and I hope I get to see more!

They took good care of us and made sure to keep us safe on both. Luxury snorkeling was nice and we got to stop at the beach as well. Our tour guide, Manuel was knowledgeable and kind. Everyone else on the boat also took good care of us. We had a blast, saw lots of different fish, had snacks, drinks, and lunch. Loved that we stopped at the beach as well where we were able to take lots of pictures and ride the banana boat! Extreme adventures was also a very nice experience. Some were scarier than others but I still did them and had a great time. I'm glad I got to face some of my fears. The staff was friendly (Enrique, pauline, Erick, joya, Jorge, Katy, Alex, and hector) and they all took such good care of us. I never felt unsafe and knew I was in good hands. Please bring bug spray, there are lots of mosquitoes over there. And be aware if you want to ride the ATVs it's $50 extra non refundable insurance. We opted not to do that and still had fun and didn't feel like we missed much. If you want pictures, buy the picture packet when you book online because it's triple the price if you decide to get it on the spot.

With the boat tours they tell you exactly when to show up. The computers have all your details and if there's a problem or if you have questions, they help you and are very professional about it. Your ticket is clear- which boat number and trip you're on. They make announcements ahead of time and it's in an orderly fashion. Once on the boat, it's party time. They have different styles of boats depending on your trip but they all are clean and operated by professionals. I'm saying this a lot because when safety matters, you want to know that people are trained for their jobs. We had a highly skilled captain, very entertaining and informative tour guide and many helpful deckhands. We snorkeled (clean equipment), bird watched, saw many whales, sea turtles and went to a secluded beach. All food and drinks provided were tasty and abundant. We arrived back at port safely and highly enjoyed our excursion. If we had more time, we would have done more.

There's multiple rooms and a large courtyard, all packed with art. Different styles, mediums, formats, with quite a bit of sculpture and an emphasis on local subjects. It's refreshingly very different if you're used to US art galleries. When I was there (Sep 2019), part of the building was closed for renovation and it was still well worth the visit. I was originally looking for a museum experience on a rainy day, but was happy to find Dante instead. Unlike in a museum, you're also allowed/encouraged to take photos. Helpful staff also, who don't hover like you'd experience in US galleries. If I lived in MX or had the means to buy/ship the art, there's quite a bit here I'd love to own. Worth the visit.

The guys at the front were dressed in their navy uniforms and spoke both Spanish and English. Explained that there were two floors, the price of admission (45 pesos or US$2.60) and hey discount it further if you're in the service, a teacher, or student. How crazy is that? For such a small museum and for such cheap tickets, it has a lot to offer. Your classic relics from battleships, armor, weapons, 3D models, and religious artifacts. As well as computer cartoon videos on screens for kids to get explainations on historical events. There's also Spanish and English info under all of the exhibits. There's a couple pretty cute rooms for example, the night sky room where you get some facts about how the navel men used to navigate using he stars, lights and projections light up this room (pictures below) Then right beyond this room is a little theatre where projections of fish and sailors are fighting the ocean (you can walk around the back to pop your head in and interact with the stage) Then upstairs there's a huge VR game where you drive a boat in several different weather conditions. Pretty fun and totally free. There's no gift shop which was a bummer (and also leaves me confused on how they make money) but from the people walking around it looks like it's taken care of by actual navel officers. Really cool find!
