Puerto Vallarta is on the west coast of Mexico and lies adjacent to 42 kilometres of a flip-flop friendly beach. It’s not as commercial as the resorts on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, which means on the Pacific coast you’ll get a lot for your money, especially in the All Inclusive resorts. The flight time is around 11 hours from the UK and since the introduction of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, airlines can make this a non-stop journey.
Weather
The average temperature in Puerto Vallarta is 30°C year-round so don’t forget to pack plenty of sun cream and keep well protected from those UV rays.
Resorts
The wide range of properties are scattered along the beach of Nuevo Vallarta. The town of Bucerias is to the north – you can take the bus or boat to sample its bars, restaurants and nightlife. Puerto Vallarta town is to the south and has a host of popular American eateries. Not forgetting the world famous nightclub, Coco Bongo.
