In Puerto Vallarta, there is plenty to keep you busy.

Our staff can secure reservations at any of the many fine restaurants in Puerto Vallarta – a romantic torchlight dinner on the beach, or a spectacular balcony view of the city lights and fireworks. Or, stay in and dine on the delicious cuisine prepared by our on site chef.

The nearly 3-kilometre (2-mile) depths and the 40-kilometre (25-mile) circumference of the Bay of Banderas make for some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. There are dozens of fishing charters available for marlin, tuna, mahimahi, dorado and sailfish. Spend a day out on the water and explore special fishing spots with an experienced captain. Contact the Resort Manager for more information.

Get an up close with a colony of Pacific bottlenose dolphins in this amazing adventure. There are only a handful of facilities throughout the world that offer such a once-in-a-lifetime interactive experience with these enchanting and gentle creatures. Guests have the opportunity to enter the water and actually swim with the dolphins. Arrangements can be made through the Resort Manager.

From December to March, the mighty humpback whales make their annual migration, passing through Banderas Bay. Their playful behaviour is an amazing display of grace, power and beauty. Visit the whales with ecologists and biologists who are involved with the research and protection of these magnificent animals. Arrangements can be made through the Resort Manager.

The Malecon makes for a wonderful walking tour of the city. A winding path flanked by the shoreline on one side and interesting shops and galleries on the other, this is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Stop by City Hall for a look at Manuel Lepe's whimsical mural of Puerto Vallarta. Rest along the way on white wrought-iron benches, or relax in a café overlooking the sea for a cool drink. See amazing sand castle creations that change daily, and several notable sculptures including the iconic bronze seahorse.

Bring your clubs and play at either of two championship courses at Vista Vallarta. The PGA NEC Invitational is played here, and you'll see why.
