“Best land view of the mountains!”
5 of 5 stars

Sep 1, 2008

I enjoyed walking the marina because there was a cool breeze, the water is prettier than in el centro, it is less crowded than el malecón and the view of the mountains is much better than any other area of vallarta (the view of the mountains from a sailboat is even better). I also saw many fish (including a pufferfish),... more

You can't forget Victor's Restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere and the owner, Victor, is known to bring over free shots of tequila and has a shot with you, welcoming you. You can sit outside, watch the boats and enjoy the good food and make friends. more

Marina Vallarta is conveniently located to the Casa Magna Marriott where my family recently stayed for a week. It is a quick walk and nice to get off property and look at all the boats. There are many restaurants to choose from. Unfortunately, as you walk past all of them each one has a host/hostess who will yell at you... more

There is a bar at the top of the lighthouse (El Faro) with an excellent view of the Marina and the surrounding bay and mountains. This is a beautiful place to watch the sunset. Afterwards, there are a number of restaurants to catch dinner. more

The Port Hole offers great memories. Wish I'd found this site earlier. There is something about that place that is so magically happy. Especially at night. And of course great food and drinks. I want to say hi to Jill, who was a total sweety, and Antonio, who always had a smile on his face. "Hope you're still dancing." And... more

I agree that the Marina is excellent - from the restaurants to the Lighthouse. Excellent ambience, very chilled atmosphere with a musician playing in the background and being able to chat. Very different from Carlos O'Briens which is also very good but for a chilled out evening you cannot beat the lighthouse unless of course you are scared of heights... more
