Isla Rio Cuale is a highly mysterious place.
Despite being located in the heart of downtown Puerto Vallarta, it can NOT be found on Google Maps. You look for this place… and it’s not there.
So for the purpose of putting some decent information out into cyberspace on where Isla Rio [...]

I’m a big UFC fan, and when we arrived in Puerto Vallarta, I spend considerable time, alot of it unsuccessful, searching for a place in the town that I could be sure showed the monthly events.
It was this that lead me to, finally, come across El Torito Sports Bar. [...]

Depending on your preference, Adriano’s is either the outlandish and ostentatious, or the delightfully colorful, character filled orange building on the beach at the North edge of Bucerias’ town square.
Cutting straight to the point on this one, if you’re looking for a place for lunch or dinner in Bucerias, Adriano’s has it’s good and it’s [...]

Alot of people expressed to us before we moved to Puerto Vallarta, sentiment along the lines of “Mexico… wooow, that’s pretty dangerous isn’t it? Drug cartels, gangs, etc? Are you sure it’s ok?”
If you searched Puerto Vallarta safety in Google, I can only assume it’s because someone’s expressed the same thing to you and you’re [...]

If you’re thinking of coming to Puerto Vallarta and in particular Bucerias for an extended stay or to retire and live permanently, the estate called Terralta is one you should certainly consider. In fact most westerners who live at Bucerias, can be found residing at Terralta 1, 2 or 3.
Terralta is located at the Northern [...]

My man Andrew is a sucker for live music anywhere, anytime so when we stumbled upon a place with live music AND a view the deal was done.
Entering the unashamedly glamorous Hotel des Artistes through a fountain-bordered staircase, you know you’re in for a treat, but you have NO idea the gravity of the situation [...]

The restaurants along the beachfront at Avenida del Pacifico in Bucerias have a lot in common. They’ve all got great views, they’ve all got open air settings, they’re all pretty touristy.
That said, I can think of at least 3 reasons why El Brujo restaurant, the second last on the strip before the avenue ends is [...]

As a tourist (and Paris locals or more experience Paris travelers feel free to correct me) Montmartre seemed like the kind of place that was ever so slightly off the main tourist path. It was not a place I’d ever heard anyone talk about after visiting Paris, not a place I’d heard of in books, [...]

I am an unashamed sweet tooth.
Without going into too much detail, suffice it to say that if I’m in a new country and I see a sign that says “(that country’s) Finest Traditional Sweets”, I’m pretty much there like a bear.
That’s the sign I saw, colorfully designed in aqua green and purple, strolling down Lazaro [...]

Mezzogiorno is a restaurant that had tempted us since our first walk along the beach from the north end of Bucerias.
Now having eaten there twice, it’s a restaurant that we’ve decided we both passionately love and strangely hate… but mostly love. Before we can get into why, some preface is needed.
Mezzogiorno is the last restaurant [...]
