Why stay in an ordinary hotel when you can vacation like royalty? Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, offers so many activities besides lounging on soft, sandy beaches and enjoying the bustling nightlife. The resort town sits on the shores of the Pacific Ocean and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mexico. Folks come from all over the world to enjoy the tropical climate and warm ocean waters. Snorkeling and scuba diving is a great way to explore the waters or just kick back and relax while catching some sun. The city is also known for its nightclubs and parties that go on till the wee hours of the morning.
Running along the beach is the El Malecón promenade, which features interesting stone statues among the many restaurants and bars. If you are looking to do some shopping head into Old Town, where you will find boutique-style shops and open-air markets.
