Destination Puerto Vallarta: Three Great Restaurants

One of the huge benefits of owning a Puerto Vallarta timeshare is access to a condominium kitchen. You can save a ton of money by going to the local market and stocking up on breakfast foods and picnic fixings for frequent meals “at home.”Of course, what’s vacationing without dining out? For a filling first meal of the day, seafood on the beach, or a romantic evening, consider these options:
Breakfast: Fredy’s Tucan
Consistently named the best spot for breakfast in Puerto Vallarta by readers of the Vallarta Voice, Fredy’s Tucan serves up more than 50 items on the morning menu. A variety of hearty crepes, pancakes and omelets can fuel your day of activity. Or go with traditional Mexican favorites, such as beef tips sautéed with vegetables, chicken strips in ranchera sauce, or marinated beef strips with eggs and refried beans. The atmosphere is casual and upbeat, with seating around an indoor garden. 245 Basillo Badillo.
Lunch: La Palapa Beach Club

Playa Los Muertos is the place to be in downtown Puerto Vallarta, so get settled where the action is at La Palapa Beach Club. Here, you can kick back under a palapa and have your meal served right on the beach. The midday menu is generous, with spinach salad, lobster tacos or coconut shrimp sticks to start, and entrees ranging from pineapple fajitas and sea scallops to club sandwiches and loaded burgers. 103 Pulpito & Los Muertos Beach.

Dinner: Le Kliff

Perched on a cliff high above the Pacific Ocean, you probably can’t find a more dramatic dining location in Puerto Vallarta than Le Kliff Restaurant & Bar. Book your reservation here to coincide with sunset. Mexican favorites and American dishes, enhanced by flavors of the Caribbean and Asia, are found on the nightly menu. Entrees include several seafood options, as well as rack of lamb and roasted duck breast. Highly recommended is the Daily Lobster Special. If you visit on a Saturday evening, it’s likely you’ll witness a wedding ceremony taking place on a scenic rocky outcropping dubbed the “Terrace of Love.” On the coast, about a 20-minute drive south of downtown Puerto Vallarta: Barra de Navidad, Kilometer Marker 17.5.
Puerto Vallarta: Favorite Destination

Kayla Mahaffey is one of Holiday’s friendly salespeople (we call them Vacationeers). Here she shares about her experiences in Puerto Vallarta.

The most memorable vacation I have ever been on was to Puerto Vallarta. I think this place is the gem of all Mexico.

If you want some Old Spanish charm, go to Old Town to see the historic arts, crafts, and cultural merchandise. Burros are still used for delivery and transportation. That and the authentic colonial villages will really take you back in time.

For a faster pace, head to the Malecon (Boardwalk) in downtown PV, where you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants, and party clubs. The Malecon borders the beach, so it’s great for romantic sunset walks, or relaxing while a Mariachi sings you a song. There are also artists, entertainers, sand sculptors, and lots of other fun things to see and do. Personally, I thought the fire dancers were the best!

In my opinion, the food in Puerto Vallarta is the finest in Mexico. I have visited a lot of cities, but will have to say the best restaurants are here, from fabulous seafood and Italian delicacies, to delicious authentic Mexican. And you can’t beat the scenic feast the Panorama restaurant offers, with its fabulous view of Banderas Bay and the Sierra Madre mountains.

There are many adventures to take part in on your visit to PV. When they say, “There’s something here for everyone,” they’re not kidding! PV has just about everything you’d want, whether it’s lounging by the pool sipping a cold drink served inside a fresh, carved out pineapple, or nestled in the jungle on a canopy tour, there is something to keep everyone happy.
