based on 6 experiences from female travelers
My experience in Puerto Vallarta was not so good I didn't feel safe only in the big squares, there were people smoking weed at a public transport stop where there were children and families, I respect that but there are also places. The food was not as good or a good size I ate sushi in Plaza Caracol and expected more. Public transport is a bad thing if you are a foreigner and you don't have change, the driver does not let you pass. I was mostly in the sea and walking shopping along the boardwalk and there is a variety of prices for different budgets but preferably it is greater than 2000 Mexican pesos.

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!

Traveling to Puerto Vallarta with my family during the summer of 2022 was one of the best experiences I could recommend. There's plenty of activities to try and mostly importantly (for any foodies like me) there's so many different cuisines to eat. After doing some research before going I realized that it's a really safe and welcoming place for the LGBTQIA+ community such as myself. In fact, it's one of the most welcoming places in the world. Outside of spending time with my family I was welcomed into groups of people that were happy to chat and show me some cool places to hang. I would definitely recommend Puerto Vallarta as a family, solo or couple vacation!
Posted: February 14, 2024Experienced: May, 2022Amazing city, I felt totally safe, clean, artistically, spiritually, colorfully and openly, with nice boulevards and beaches, friendly people, even the traffic is safe, many taxis and buses.

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.

Excited to expand my travel adventures and meet others along the way! Currently, I'm on a mission to connect back to my roots and ancestry. I'm interested in traveling to find the closest to my lineage over a DNA test. If you've done something like this, would you kindly share insight 🌞
