Mexico is the perfect choice for a family vacation with a number of excellent locations that make taking the kids away for a week or two a pleasure. Puerto Vallarta is by far one of Mexico’s top family destinations, catering for all tastes and necessities and voted by Conde Nast Magazine as the friendliest city.
Families looking for an amazing resort that will keep the kids entertained will have no problem in Puerto Vallarta. There are some great all inclusive and timeshare complexes that particularly suit families. All inclusive is a great choice as families are able to budget their spending easier before arriving and kids are free to eat when they are hungry, leaving parents to relax about meal times. Alternatively, renting a timeshare unit or joining a vacation club is another great option for families as these units are generally much bigger than hotel rooms and have kitchens and dining areas, which can save you money.
The location itself is packed with exciting activities for all the family. Besides a number of truly amazing beaches, you can take the kids horseback riding, enjoy surf lessons or go on the Marigalante Pirate Ship tour around Banderas Bay. You can even go to Puerto Vallarta’s zoo or spend an afternoon at the Botanical Gardens. Teenagers will probably enjoy zip lining, kayaking and snorkeling, while more adventurous parents may want to try skydiving or parasailing that land on the beach.
The celebrated boardwalk, the Malecon is also a definite place to take a colourful walk with the whole family. Here you will see street performers, artists, rock balancers and the flying dancers, the Voladores de Papantla. It is worth watching the sunset from the Malecon and trying a cocktail or evening meal in one of the bars and restaurants on the seafront. There are also free performances almost every night in the amphitheater at the end of the Malecon by the plaza, where clowns entertain the local children and put on quite a show.
Lastly, Puerto Vallarta boasts a great selection of quality restaurants with diverse menus. If you are not staying in an all inclusive resort, there will be more than enough options for you to keep everyone satisfied. There are all kinds of restaurants, Mexican, Italian, Indian, sushi, pizza, American diners and more. Children are welcome in almost all the restaurants in Puerto Vallarta.
