I definitely felt safe. It was super cute, I strongly advise renting go-karts. ALSO, the airport is far and I never recommend driving yourself to your destination. I highly recommend hiring a car service to pick you up, help with your luggage and drive you to your air bnb.

I traveled to and from PVR alone but stayed with good friends while there. I felt very safe as I was in a private car or in a taxi with my dear friends and we stayed in their condo. It rained for 3 days but it was a great time. The view from their place was amazing. We also took a trip to San Sebastian and to the Botanical Garden. So lovely. Good was great, especially seafood and fresh fruit! And, of course, the margaritas!
