Nuevo Vallarta

Nuevo Vallarta is a planned resort on Mexico’s Pacific coast, just north of Puerto Vallarta. It sits on Banderas Bay, and is known for its golf courses, marina and long, sandy Nuevo Vallarta beach. A short distance off the coast, the biodiverse Marieta Islands are home to wildlife, including dolphins, turtles and humpback whales. Northwest is the laid-back village of Sayulita, which is known for surfing.

Not sure if they are still doing it with the pandemic, but we did the Rhythms of the Night sunset cruise, show and dinner. Also, check out Sayulita. I got surfing lessons there! It is a great area! We stayed at the Riu Palace Pacifico!

Nuevo Vallarta. Resorts are nice, 20 min ride to "downtown," not as busy as Puerto Vallarta. Plus, the best pastor around! I went to Acapulco in 2008 and didn't enjoy it. It wasn't so much of a popular destination back then and I had a hard time communicating as I didn't speak a lot of Spanish. We went in May and it was stupid humid and hot AF. I'd choose NV over Acapulco.
