If Puerto Vallarta is an excellent place for enjoying the town, then its neighboring Riviera Nayarit is an excellent place for enjoying the hotels! Less than an hour from Puerto Vallarta, this is a destination of all encompassing beauty, characterized by its brand new hotels. Therefore you can indulge in the charms of the Mexican west coast while staying at a beach resort that's of today's taste. Riviera Nayarit has several kilometers of beach where you practice a wide range of nautical sports. Kayaking, skiing, surfing, sailing – all of these activities can be performed while surrounded by enchanting natural aspects. Lagoons, forests, rocks, and every beach demonstrates a unique cachet free for you to discover. On the river, fishing is very popular, but you can also do this in the ocean. Riviera Nayarit is distinguished from Puerto Vallarta by its distances from the city. You can relax for long hours on the beach with living the effervescence of the town. It's ideal if you rely primarily on rest! However, there is certainly not a lack of activities in the area. Three golf courses are found right next to the resort: the Mayan Palace, El Tigre and Flamingos. The hotels found there are, generally, chains that offer a multitude of activities during the day and night. The hotels welcome gay couples without any problem, just like in Puerto Vallarta. And then, why not head for town and enjoy yourself! Less than an hour away is the charming city of Puerta Vallarta, host of numerous festivals, shows, boutiques, animated plazas, restaurants and bars. In old Vallarta, a site of Spanish influence awaits. Roofs of red tile, paved streets and historical buildings make this part of town irresistible for a slow stroll. It's all the occasion to make some good purchases and most of them are negotiable! For the traveler who wishes to enjoy all the charm of Puerto Vallarta and a beach resort purely made for relaxing, Riviera Nayarit is a strategic choice!
