Hotels near Lic. Gustavo Diaz Ordaz Airport - PVR, Puerto Vallarta

Nuevo Vallarta is mainly huge hotel complexes with their own private beaches with a small ish shopping plaza with a supermarket. The area around mainly caters for middle-high end budgets. Although there us a nice fish restaurant (beach shack type) with mainly mexican food 15 mins walk from the beach on Paseo de la palmas If you are looking for Mexico, you are not going to find it here...typical American resort if that's tour thing. If not old Puerto Vallarta is by far the better place for 'a bit' of authenticity if you look carefully.

Long walks on the beach and weather is great. Lots of restaurants in the area and mexican and seafood was great Booked for next year already! Learn the bus system or get an uber or taxi if going a further distance Check out the water taxi if need to gt to paradice village from across the channel Will not take bus during busy hours Download uber app All the restaurants around Boulevard Nuevo Nayarit great Eddies place , Oasis, and 2 for 1 rib nites great,steakhouse

At first I thought it was a little isolated but we realized restaurants etc. were a short ride away. My husband enjoyed walking in the area and it was easy to walk on the beach or path to Bucerías. I would definitely stay there again!

Nuevo is nicer than Puerto Vallarta, quiet and peaceful versus the hustle and bustle of touristy Malecon in Vallarta, lots of traffic, noise associated with it etc. Nuevo is pricier , big money, and affluence in Nuevo area where I stayed. Well groomed walk ways (don't have to worry much about stepping in a hole like Vallarta)- median has walkway for joggers, dog walks, regular walk. Its upscale for sure.

January has perfect weather, very pleasant people visiting, working and living in the area. Lots of stuff to do or not do, if relaxing is your mission. Affordable Taxi or Uber rides can get you to Puerto Vallarta or Bucerias within 30 minutes. Spanish speakers will have no trouble getting around and even those who have a limited understanding will have little trouble as most residents speak english.

It has a nice beach, breakfast is good. One pool was in maintenence. Far from downtown and transportation options are expensive. I didnt like the 11am checkout, its too early and you dont really have time to do anything more than have breakfast and leave
