Puerto Vallarta: A Satisfying Adventure

Puerto Vallarta is a bustling beach town along the Pacific coast nestled at the “hip” of Mexico. It will be a challenge to stick to the few relaxing things on your itinerary when planning a trip here. This destination offers what you are looking for in a sun soaked getaway with plenty left to discover.

Thinking about taking a bottle of blue agave tequila back home? Well, you’re in the region (Jalisco) that is known for creating tequila. From Hyatt Ziva, take a shuttle to an agave processing plant, where the operation shows how the agave turns into various aged tequilas. Sitting outside by the steaming, stainless steal drums while having a generous tasting of 8 different types of tequila will give you a smooth buzz in no time. If there is more than one type of tequila you enjoyed, be sure to negotiate on bottle prices and leave a happy customer.

End the trip with some indulgent TLC. Vitimar is the hotel’s rejuvenating spa that knows how to send their guests off with an experience that will want to make you stay an extra day. Plan ahead to make an appointment. The masseuses are in high demand and reservations fill up quickly. Treatments for couples, private yoga sessions, and training at the gym are also popular. Self-care for the day goes a long way!
