Pacific Coast Holidays in Puerto Vallarta

Getting there and getting around

Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport is the main serving hub here for flights to Puerto Vallarta and is located approximately 4 miles from the resort. The airport is relatively new as it was completely remodelled recently and now boasts many services such as car rentals, souvenir shops and charming restaurants. You can fly to Puerto Vallarta from major airports in the UK with flight times in the region of 10 hours. The cheapest option for getting to your hotel in Puerto Vallarta is via bus and you can purchase tickets just outside the terminal. However the bus can take a long time due to having to stop at different hotels along the way. A quicker option is to get your own private taxi, and although it is a slightly more expensive option, it won’t break the bank.

Things to do

Along with Puerto Vallarta being a fantastic base for lazing on the beach and catching some sun, it is also a lovely spot to do a bit of sightseeing. Cobblestone streets and colonial architecture add to Puerto Vallarta's unique charm. A lovely day trip is a visit to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This has been a centre piece of religious activity in town for many years and is situated on the main square. The cathedral features a distinctive bell tower that is topped with an intriguing crown, said to have been once worn by Empress Carlota. As you visit this beautiful landmark, ensure you take time out to marvel at the white washed buildings and colourful markets that line the streets.

No matter what your taste in food, your palate will definitely be satisfied by Puerto Vallarta's delicious offerings. Here you can discover the amazing variety of Mexican dishes from succulent seafood and fine wine, to a fusion of popular international dishes.
