This Puerto Vallarta travel guide shares everything you need to know before visiting for your first time. I provide an overview of when the best time to visit it, how much to budget (and what things cost), where to stay, what to do and some safety tips. If you’ll be traveling to Puerto Vallarta for the first, this video is meant to get you started with the basics. If you’re interested in learning more, I go into more detail in my other videos!

My husband and I are going to PV in April - this video and a couple of your other ones have been so helpful. Incidentally, we’ll be staying at Posada de Roger so I was happy to see it get a good review! Also going to Merida for a few days. I couldn’t find a video for that but I did read your blog about it which was super helpful too. Thank you!

@alysmalls Год назад

We loved Merida! I haven't made a video yet, but hope to soon. Enjoy your April trip :)

@chuyvee505 Год назад

How was it?

@devinferrari Год назад

@@chuyvee505 amazing man! Had a great time. Checked out all the areas I wanted to see, walked the malecon. I love the romantica zone. Worth going for sure! Felt very safe ubering around by myself, no issues. Everyone is super friendly and food is amazing. Will be back, I think bucerias is next 🤙🏻

@zuzannawisniewska4464 Год назад

Puerto Vallarta is a city and spa town in the Mexican state of Jalisco.Puerto Vallarta is place where you can walk for hours.It is then worth visiting the temple of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe and the Margado Rio Coulte market. I have visited this beautiful city once in my life.Thank you for the beautiful video and messages.Greetings to the people of Chicago. Illinois. Mexico is such a beautiful neighbor of the United States.

@jamesball8519 Год назад

And you can get kidnapped and possibly murdered as well. What a great place.

@SManzone367 Год назад

Cool video with helpful insight as to where and what to do.. plus minute 7:20 was an awesome view but where was that at?? Waterfall looked cool 😉...

Great video for first timers... Checking in to Mio Vallarta next Saturday and will do a full review and also give you a shout out. Maybe see you on the malecon and buy you guys a drink.

@Dennis-kj9qx Год назад

It's hard to believe my wife and I have been to P.V. 23 times as of 2022. We have done it all and ate it all. Be sure to see Rythem of the nights. Throw on the tourist clothes and have dinner at Pippies (and two margaritas), then down the hill to the Malecon and shop till you drop. A week min. Advised. Safer than California

@alysmalls Год назад

Love it!

@nahidasultana6842 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video! ❤ Do we have to book the hotel ahead of time, or we can book when we get there ?

@my3hijos Год назад

Great video! Will you make a video on how and where to exchange money?

@alysmalls Год назад

I have some tips about money in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UdPnv4QBljU.html but in a nutshell, I withdraw pesos directly from the ATM once I'm in Puerto Vallarta - that will give you the best rate!

@Azul-ud9iv Год назад

I don't think Valle dorado etc. In the Nuevo Vallarta area are more americanized or more expensive. You have to look around & I wouldn't exchange money at the airport you get less "paysos" for your money. Good info. TY

@dovygoodguy1296 Год назад

Do you have a video geared more towards retired or older tourists and expats? Plus areas or times we without big crowds. Thanks.

@alysmalls Год назад

Hi Dovy, have you considered Bucerias? It's 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, very quiet & laid back. I think you my like the paace there better! I have several videos on my channel about Bucerias. And I'll be posting a walking tour video in the next couple days.

@reneelooper121 Год назад

We are going and will be staying at Hard Rock. How far is it from these areas?

@AleaSummers Год назад

Hello love you video! Do you know what zone south shore hotel area is in? We are looking at a hotel in this area. From the map, it is South the romantic zone

@julialiamrowen Год назад

Hi Aly! Do you have a recommendation for the best sim card? I’ll be arriving Jan 4, staying until April 20. Thank you.

@alysmalls Год назад

Yes, go to an OXXO and get a telcel card - you can prepay as many gigs as you want and then reload online when/if you run out

@dovygoodguy1296 Год назад

Do you have a guide for vegetarians in Puerto Vallarta? For those who want a winter option but in a quieter Mexico environment as an alternative to Puerto Vallarta, where would you suggest? I don't think my wife and I could handle being in PV. But your videos are terrific as anyway!

@alaynasimmons6056 Год назад

I have a trip planned there soon any recommendations or tips for a mother and son only trip?

@379insk Год назад

Hi Aly...Thanks 4 the vid! I have an all inclusive booked at the Canto del sol. What is it like? How is the location? Thanks

@alysmalls Год назад

I haven't stayed but that's a classic choice, been around for a while, reviews seem pretty good. Location wise, there's lots of restaurants around, but it's a 25 min walk to the Malecon, or probably 10 -15 mins via taxi or bus into downtown.

@379insk Год назад

@Aly Smalls . Thanks for info! Next year plan on renting some kind of apartment for a month.
