Puerto Vallarta Hotels

Awash with resort hotels and time-share condominiums, the focal point in Puerto Vallarta is of course, the beach. The city contains several major spans of sandy coastline, with more on the pristine south shore that remain accessible by boat. Far from a one-dimensional resort city however, Puerto Vallarta also offers historic landmarks, cathedrals and superb museums. The local cuisine, for those intrepid visitors who get out of the major resorts, is also exceptional. A fortuitous location within the beautiful state of Jalisco, the notable home of tequila and mariachi, also offers several recreational and sightseeing options beyond the sunswept, parasol-laden beaches.
