Eight Tips to Make the Most of Summer in PV

Why do folks insist on calling summer in Puerto Vallarta the “low” season? With increasing numbers of national and international visitors taking advantage of equally increasing promotional summer incentives, the misnomer begs reconsideration. We spoke to a number of tourists, residents and local business owners to collect some of the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta during the summer. Here are eight tips:

  1. Act like a tourist. Many hotels in town offer affordable day-pass access for locals looking for a vacation experience, even if it is for just a few hours.
  2. Look for restaurant promotions. Inspired by Restaurant Week, many local restaurants offer special fixed-price menus throughout the summer, along with all-you-can-eat or 2×1 cocktail promotions.
  3. Head to the mountains. If the heat and humidity are getting to you, there are excellent getaway opportunities in nearby towns such as Talpa, Mascota and San Sebastian.
  4. Go to the movies. Summer blockbusters are a huge deal north of the border. Locally, take advantage of our multiplexes, which offer the latest releases in comfortable (air-conditioned!) theaters comparable to those in the USA and Canada, at about half the price.
  5. Enjoy the sweating. If you cannot avoid it, you might as well enjoy it. Enroll in a dance or yoga class, or a neighborhood gym.
  6. Put your camera to work. Not only is summer great for nature and landscape photography, overcast days provide perfect, diffused light for friend and family portraits.
  7. Explore cold food. Shrimp cocktails, ceviche and gazpacho are a few of many cold dishes you can enjoy at local restaurants.
  8. Succumb to summer. It is here; it is inevitable; and if you find a way to implement a paradigm shift in your lifestyle, you will love it as much as we do.

Testimonials
Leonardo Uribe
General manager
Arq-Espacio

“We started to advertise 7 or 8 years ago and certainly it has helped us position our brand. Now that we have improved a lot in quality, processes and finished products, our marketing in the magazine is precisely to strengthen the leadership we have earned through the 13 years in the area. I also think that we also have grown with the advertisement and that it has been done and it has helped us get to where we are now.”

“We, who advertise in Vallarta Lifestyles, are people that invest in our businesses, because we keep our presence in the market. It is and it has always been a beautiful and elegant magazine. Thanks to it, we have clients in a direct or indirect way.”
Ulf Henriksson
Chef and partner
Vitea Oceanfront Bistro

“Since its beginnings and until today, the quality in photography and editorial design of Vallarta Lifestyles is unrivaled, because there’s nothing similar in this region of Mexico. Besides, to the foreign community that visit us, this magazine is essential if they want to know what’s new and what’s going on in our destination.”
