Super safe. Everyone is welcoming and extremely helpful. For a solo traveler I had an amazing time! If you’d like recommendations please send me a message :) I was there 3 nights and four days. I went to Majahuitas island for new years! Such an amazing time. I also went zip lining through the jungle! If you’re looking for. Nice restaurant try Mar y Vino. If you’re looking for seafood try 8 tostadas.

I LOVEEEE PVR!! It is one of the safest cities I have ever traveled to. The locals are the nicest, most welcoming people. There’s a really big gay male community there so the nightlife is a lot safer as a woman.

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.
