Absolutely gorgeous right off the beach we had fresh food and an absolutely gorgeous view. There was a lady walking on the beach that provided a service of braiding my daughters hair away from the table. I had an absolutely amazing margarita, heavy pour. Completely authentic margarita made from scratch with the exception of the tequila. The pico de gallo was fresh and amazing and then we ordered ceviche which was awesome flavorful, the perfect amount of spices and the seafood was perfect inside of it. My daughter and I ate absolutely all of it. It was nice because my son was able to play under the table with the sand once done eating. It wasn’t super hot although it was in March because of the breeze from the ocean. The service was just absolutely amazing they had a performance there, so it had perfect entertainment, my kids loved it. It probably was our favorite place to eat in Puerto Valarta just an overall great experience.

All dishes tasted amazing, some portions were smaller than expected. But others had plenty on them. Overall well balanced.

Everything is top ,, the staff is super cool and welcoming,,food is tasty drinks are easy 😄 be nice to to everybody, don't understand the negative reviews...

We got fresh snacks. Chips were crunchy. Guacamole was tasty and freshly made to order. Had a passion fruit margarita sooo delicious. Real passion fruit. Generous serving size of snack and drinks for great price. The view of the ocean was amazing and relaxing. We got luck and were able to see a traditional native performance, nothing scheduled.

This place was a complete rip off!! Do not go there!! We wanted a simple breakfast and ended up with a bill that had lobster added to our bill we never ordered!! They didn’t want to give us a copy of the bill until pushed. We also were approached by someone who seemed connected to the restaurant and tried to sell us on property, etc! Horrible experience!! DO NOT GO HERE!!

We were at Restaurant El Malecon the other night. They have a large selection of sauces at the table. And then they bring out chips with more sauces. After that we shared a guacamole. My wife then had the tortilla soup and shrimp tacos, while I had the mummy shrimp. Overall the food was good as was the service. The prices are certainly Malecon and beach side prices. There was a live duet playing music and singing and they were pretty good. But the main reason for eating here is the spectacular view as we watched the sunset over the ocean. In the end that is what you are paying for.

We had delay in some food order, but they didn’t charge us for that and we got this part for free. That’s a real client orientation. On the top of that - the seafood is fantastic and fresh, ocean view and the birds (pelicans?) are fantastic 🤩 Totally recommend this place.

This church was listed as one of the sights to see in PV. While I'm not a religious person, I don't mind seeing churches for their architectural value. Its located one street above the Tepic Puerto Vallarta, the main road that runs along the ocean, exactly where the Malecon Boardwalk starts at the north end. When you see the amphitheater and arches, turn around and you'll see a small park-like plaza across the street. Walk through it, and the church is at the other end. Its not hard to find as the building is taller than the rest. The red brick & stone church has no real front grounds, as only a sidewalk and a few steps separate it from the busy road, so its not the prettiest upon first glance. The top of the bell tower is uniquely finished with a wrought iron sculpture shaped into a crown that pays homage to an empress of Mexico. The doors were wide open, so I was able to snap a quick pic. There were a few worshipers sitting inside but no service was going on. The pews sit on marble floors, with high ceilings and columns decorated with simple ornate trim. Further in is an even taller rotunda ceiling draped by a purple curtain, with a grand centerpiece & painting. Mass in English is done on Saturdays, with Spanglish mix on Sundays.

A beautiful church dedicated to our Lady of Guadalupe. There’s mass daily 3 times. At 7.30 am 12 noon and 7 pm all in Spanish but easy to follow for those non Spanish speakers. It’s quiet so good to pray and reflect as well

This church is pretty underwhelming considering how it is made out to be. It’s touristy in the most ordinary way. Church needs a tea good refurbishment. Exterior is good. Seen much better in other places across the world.

The Tower of the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe is visible from the Malecon, but the church itself is not. It caught my attention because of the lacy looking Crown on top. Turns out the ‘crown’ is symbolic of a tiara worn by a mistress of Emperor Maximilian. There were two Emperors named Maximilian; one was the Holy Roman emperor, and the other was a former Emperor of Mexico. The church was constructed between 1930 and 1940. The Tower was more impressive than the church, but the tour group was allowed in, in case people wanted to stop and pray, as many were doing.

Nice outdoor space, lots of food choices to choose from.Friendy service,great view all around.

Mass was good, and there were confessions. There was a special event (I think they were celebrating a meeting from La Pastoral de la Salud) when we were there (the video is from the procession, that’s not what you will find daily!). We liked it, easy access, and good priests.

So peaceful and beautiful. Everytime I am in town I come to pray and light a candle for the world

Nice pier with peace in the mornings. I prefer the sunrise vibes with a few fisherman and less crowds. Calming views of the ocean and boats. Some jump from the pier into the sea for fun, so possible for those bold enough. The pier lights up at night.

This area is great for day drinking and beach relaxing! Beautiful beach and views just on the edge of Zona Romantica and south of the Malecon. The sunsets were also worth the wait!

I love the pier and beach. It really wasn't too crowded at the pier. Some boys were diving off the pier and having fun. There were small boats in the water and people swimming in the ocean. There were people lounging in the sun along the shore. When I visited, it was Día de los Muertos, so I'm unsure if the railing on the pier is always decorated, but it was when I visited. The pier is an iconic spot along the beachfront.

First off there wasn't any charges to visit the pier. Even went with a group out on a boat a week before and we were shuttled from the pier to a larger boat. Stunning view of PV. You can sit on the circular bench and look back at the beach.

Fun atmosphere here by the pier. Playa muertos makes it easy to enjoy some swimming, relax on the beach, grab a bite to eat, go fishing, or just play in the sand. Love how they light up pier. Really nice watching the sunset over her.

Such a relaxing and beautiful beach area. The sunsets are gorgeous

Cool spot at the beach in PV. Was all decorated for Dia de los Muertos this time. Also where you go to take snorkeling or fishing charters or trips to Quimixto etc. We met Yiyo there of Yiyo's tours, as recommended by my friend who grew up in Vallarta and turned out to be the best. He even runs the annual fishing tournament! If you want to take a boat from the pier, he's got a FB page.
