TOP Things to do in Vallarta Mexico

Based on the article posted from PV Mirror, we could make our own forum version of the "Top things to do in Puerto Vallarta". I think it'd be best if people only post one (1) option at a time, that is, wait until someone else posts another option before adding one more.

I'll start it off with:

1- Go to the Marietas Islands and swim through the cave from the sea to the inner beach on the island, felt like in a miniature version of "The Beach" the movie, just cozier and without sharks .

2- get down town long the malecon on a Sunday night to stroll with the locals all dressed up with their families … a really and truly fun time

3- Go to Los Muertos, pick a beach bar, order a cold one and watch the sunset.

4- Go up to El Eden and slide down the waterfall.

5- Sit on your lanai with a big bowl of homemade guacumole, chips, pickled peppers, a bottle of cuban rum and a glass with ice

6- Watch the Beach Vendors till you see a "must have " – then bargain till you do have !

7- I think wherever I park myself in PV what I enjoy most is just looking….people watching ..looking at the Ocean..the mountains …the morning the night the daytime sky….

8- Stepping off the plane, taking a deep breath and come to to the reality that you are in PV…that is the first thing I like to do.

9- Ride the donkey at Andale.

10- Going up to Bucerias with friends to see Bubba and the Bottom Feeders playing at El Pescador.

The Magic of El Careyes

Posted on 09. Sep, 2009 by Administrator in Lifestyle

words by Ally Jones

My life has come full circle. I last reported on a Mexico adventure in the very first issue of h, where I spent a blissful week decompressing and kicking my addiction to television in Sayulita, Mexico, a charming fishing village 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta.

Now, two years later, I am invited to the El Careyes Beach Resort in Mexico’s best kept secret, Costa Careyes (not that far from Sayulita actually) mid-way between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo on the Pacific Ocean. I knew this would offer me a wonderful opportunity to take stock and see if I could again unwind and stay far away from the computer and television. Upon arriving at El Careyes on a warm day in late April, I realized this was what decompressing in Mexico was all about. There was literally magic in the air, and although I really love exploring new cities, I knew I probably wouldn’t venture out of this haven even if Heidi Klum and Seal invited me over for dinner at their nearby spread (an entirely
unlikely scenario).

To begin with, my suite is incredible – it’s bigger than my entire apartment in L.A. and my view of downtown L.A. is replaced with a view of the ocean from my deck that sends goose bumps down my spine.  Everything I need in life is right here. I have a beautiful, winding, free-form swimming pool with the ocean steps away, a lovely restaurant (La Lantana) that promises many delightful meals, a private screening room stocked with movies, a library, spa, gym, and a business center that has the calm of a spa. I promise myself I’ll only check email once a day (which quickly becomes every other day).
I was very fortunate to share El Careyes with some of its Italian royalty who where in town for a wedding, the Brignone family. This brings me to the Resort’s roots. El Careyes Beach Resort was founded in 1968 when artist and architect Gian Franco Brignone came for a visit to Mexico. While flying over the untouched Coast of Careyes, he realized his dream to create an enchanting and environmentally conscious resort that combined the sensuality of the Italian and Mexican cultures. He named it Costa Careyes (the Turtle Coast) because the beaches provide both sanctuary and nesting ground for giant sea turtles. The Resort holds up to his vision with its Mediterranean and Mexican architecture, pristine shores, private bay, and preserved natural landscape. Sensual it is. With 48 rooms and suites, there are also three casitas that feel like they belong in an exquisite romantic movie.
