What do you love most about PV?

Post by RodeoFoto » Sun Mar 29, 2009 9:39 pm

I was wondering what all of you loved the most about PV?

For me, it was the people. I really enjoyed getting to know as many local people as I could. I miss their spirit :(

I really enjoyed my trips into the jungle too!

I can hardly wait to go back to PV!

The people are a biggie. also, just the relaxing and romantic atmosphere, if you can set aside the time to relax with so much to do.

It is definitely the people that is for sure... and within the people you get to meet the business people that own the resorts, manage the hotels, resturants, etc... and you start building relationships that turn into more... you become part of their family as well as they become part of yours... it is pretty kewl that is for sure...

just got to Vallarta.

good old fashioned PV

The old-timey ambience of Puerto Vallarta is the best. There are
enough modern conveniences (ez to check your email for example) to feel relaxed while enjoying vacation time with genuine smiles and warmth from the people of the town. Even tho the townspeople are 'working for you' in whatever way (waiting on your table, shop - marketstall clerks, etc.) one still feels that these humans truly care about you and about
each other. The original Mexican charm together with a beautiful place.
The best of the best Puerto Vallarta.

The way that all the tension drains from my body within hours of getting there.

I totally agree with Joyce. I just instantly relax. And I love all the great food of course. There's just not enough time for us to eat everything we want while we're there.

True, but I've been giving it that old college try!

I have to agree with everyone, it's the people I love the most. Their honesty and generosity makes our yearly visits memorable. It's the main reason, I think, that the minute I step out of the taxi at the resort, I feel all the tension of daily life slowly draining away.

nothing i like better than landing in plane and knowing in about 1/2 hour
i'll be pool or beachside with pina'colada in hand.
seriously, for me it's a toss up between the friendly people and
the majestic beauty of the bay (ocean meeting mountains)

hello all,
I think for me it is the people for sure, but the variety is good too. I liked being able to go to the older part of town to shop and then go to a fancy restaurant on the beach later on.

I enjoyed taking the bus and having someone sing to us, some good and some bad singers----but very neat all the same. Then I can take a bus to anywhere within an hour and be in a very different environment, smaller town or a beach resort.

Hi everyone 2nd time to post here.
For me it's the people ... I've become friends with so many people from vacationing there year after year.

The smell in the air early in the morning when restaurants are starting to cook breakfast. In old town the smell of pancakes fill the air.

In the summer the thunderstorm that comes around 3pm everyday cooling the air.
And last but not least the sunsets.

i love the beaches the most

and living in a place where i can basically walk just about anywhere at nearly any time of the day or night. also that i can walk to what i want or need, though it's good to have a car here too for those fun out of town trips that are so lovely to take to places locally like bucerias or sayulita or the adorable beach at guayabitos.

i like the relatively laid backed lifestyle, and the pretty happy and friendly mexican population.

the summers here are a bit difficult with the humidity, but the incredible tropical rainstorms and the lightning are something i never saw before being here.....
