I am not aware of any place. An idea- there are some reputable hotels in that area. Maybe you could leave with the bell service, for a small fee.

Lots of safe parking along street. A starting place- if you do not have walking restrictions, I’d say one point is as good as another.

Me and my wife wintered in Bucerias MX. For 28 years. I was back.to visit the month of January, now a Permanent resident of Texas. We always used Decameron cabs from Bucerias, and felt safe. I will say things have really changed, and has become very busy. I would do your research, people have become more desperate after Covit. I would not travel teal late , 10pm or later, and would not use uber. Take care, and be safe.

We stayed at the Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen (adults only) last April & loved it. The only problem is all of the beaches on that coastline have a seaweed problem right now. We're heading to the Windham Altra in Nuevo Vallarta in May, can't wait!

And if you want a very expensive bottle - do that! You pretty much have to buy a bottle after they give you a bunch of freebies!

There are dozens of them, look for the stamp, 925 or higher. In Mexico also, you get what you pay for, the high end shops are the most reputable but it doesn't come cheap there. But you will also find some really beautiful pieces there. Never buy from street vendors, you will get ripped-of for sure. We lived in Mexico for 5 years, we know and if you have the time, go to, for instance, San Sebastian, an old Spanish silver mining town. It’s only a little over an hour from PV. There you can go directly to the silversmiths, from the source. And it’s a beautiful small Mexican village, they don’t come much more authentic.

Playa los arcos has an all inclusive option but I don’t think it’s 4 stars, but the location is excellent. I know there are a couple all inclusive that are a little closer to downtown, and that’s only a few blocks away from the malecón. Sheraton buganvillas is a 4 star hotel I believe, they have an all inclusive option and it’s a 5 min cab ride to the malecón

No time is long enough. I can walk the Malecon for hours. You always see something new. The Statues are amazing, the people are kind and helpful, the street vendors are fun and the food is amazing. I lived along the Malecon and never got tired of it. I spend half of my months in Puerto Vallarta walking the Malecon.

Yes it is the southern part. Yes you can take the Centro bus, but you will be 3 blocks from Malecón. At the end of the route, your bus will turn right (towards water) or left, towards the Main Street. When the bus slows down to turn, be sure to ask driver which way he is turning. If R, stay in until he stops in about 2 balks. Then get off, cross the street and go 1 block. If he turns L, no panic, as he will stop in 1 block to p/u more pax. Just get off there and walk back the way you came from. Don’t worry, hard to get lost. A good landmark is Daquri Dicks. That corner is where Uber drivers p/u. But you must have the PV Uber app on your phone. Taxis are pricey. Walk up the street where u got off your bus. Walk to the main st. There are 2 corners where many will be waiting for a bus. Ask someone if Walmart bus stops here. Take a bus that has a Walmart sign. It’s across from port. Enjoy.
