It was here that Richard Burton and Liz Taylor had there love nest, with a bridge betwean the two houses, have a look when your there.
The ideal holiday here would be to travel All Inclusive, but you can get reasonable room only packages.
Puerto Vallarta was made famous by the film shot there "Night of the Iguana", (starring Richard Burton and Ava Gardner). The media attention this generated at the time opened the world's eyes to what Puerto Vallarta had to offer.
There is good reason. Puerto Vallarta - a town that served as a port to ship the silver being mined from the Sierra Madre mountains that lay just behind this city - has all the character of traditional Mexican town interwoven with modern comforts of 21st century living - and offers something for everyone.
It's cobbled streets and cathedral set the scene in the town, which has a traditional, easy-going feel to it. There are hotels to suit every taste and budget. The activity list is never ending - and this area provides great topography for all kinds of eco tours - which is why these tours are growing here at the fastest pace of any other activity around.
Eating out: You will love the diverse range of food on offer. Take in the breath-taking views from hilltop eateries or munch on a taco from a street stall. As well as authentic restaurants to give you the true taste of Mexico you will also find that there are few names you will recognise if you are feeling in the need for a burger.
Out on the town: The dozens of narrow streets host a lively nightlife. Bars, clubs and plenty of restaurants keep visitors entertained.
Shopping: The large US influence has spread wide enough to ensure a large number of shopping malls offering excellent facilities. The tiny streets also have many stalls and smaller shops tucked away for more authentic souvenirs.
Days out: There are regular excursions to Guadalajara and Mexico City. For the more adventurous take a jeep safari, go horse-riding or take a once in a life-time opportunity to swim with dolphins and you can visit the homes of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton
