Where To Stay In Puerto Vallarta

Question from reader LSheppard:

"My friend and I will be visiting Puerto Vallarta in May and are looking for a VERY upscale resort that isn't for just couples or families.  Any recommendations?"

Lucky you. You'd probably feel VERY pampered at the Four Seasons Punta Mita, located 26 miles (45 minutes) north of Puerto Vallarta.  If you need to be closer to town, consider the Hacienda San Angel, which was on Conde Nast Traveler's Hot List in 2005, or Casa Velas, which is adults only but not couples only. Buen viaje!

Comments

If you don't care about the resort so much, I would recommend staying at this place: http://www.karaway.com/VillaKaraway/puerto_vallarta.htm

A group of us stayed there last October and it was absolutely incredible. There's a great beach, private pool as well as big pool for the whole complex, and the living area can open up to the outside on two sides. It's a $7 cab ride into town. It's on the south side between PV and Mismaloya.

great place to visit
