  • Vallarta Adventures Breakfast

    When I arrived in Puerto Vallarta, I headed to the MEGA to shop for breakfast for the upcoming week. However, I did not anticipate that Vallarta Adventures would provide a wonderful breakfast before their tours. So, if you are joining a number of tours, plan accordingly or else you will end up with too much cereal and milk at the end of your stay.

    After you check-in, head to the back for the breakfast spread.

    I preferred a simple bowl of granola and yogurt to start the morning.

    You can also create your own fresh fruit plate.

    For the kids, the breakfast table offers an assortment of sugary cereals, including Fruit Loops, Cocoa Puffs and Zucaritas, with a much angrier looking Tony the Tiger.

    Here’s the full spread with your pick of milk, orange juice, tea or coffee, fruit, cereal, pastries, yogurt and granola.

  • Nuevo Vallarta Taxi

    For some reason, I was expecting Nuevo Vallarta to be like Waikiki. It wasn’t. Instead of a dense and compact tourist destination, I saw large resorts scattered along the coast, sometimes with large gaps between them. Even if you want to take an evening walk, there was no place to go. Seems incredible that large resorts can exist without tourist shops and restaurants nearby, but that was definitely my experience. You can see for yourself on Google Maps.

    I thought I would be able to walk from Villa La Estancia to something nearby, but I didn’t see anything within walking distance outside of other resorts. I went to Puerto Vallarta once, but most of the time, I travelled back-and-forth between the hotel and Vallarta Adventures.

    Where Should I Stay in Nuevo Vallarta

    If you are staying at an all-inclusive resort and do not plan to leave the premises, then location should not make a big difference. However, if you want to take advantage of several of the journeys offered by Vallarta Adventures, then the cost of transportation may be a factor.

    As you can see, a trip from Vallarta Adventures to Villa Del Palmar (which is next to Villa La Estancia) costs $110 for 1-4 passengers and $220 for 5-8 passengers. After a couple of trips, that taxi fare starts adding up quickly, so let this Nuevo Vallarta taxi rate sign be your guide. If you plan on joining some Vallarta Adventure tours, it would be smart to stay somewhere closer to them than at the northern end of Nuevo Vallarta, or even further away.
