I am already in love with Mexico and the amazing people that I have met! I live at Oasis Hostel and I feel really safe staying there. Media forget to show the real side of Mexico. They forget about the amazing food, the nice people, the culture and the nature. Before people make up their mind about what they think about a country they have to stop listening to media. Puerto Vallarta is an amazing city that everybody has to visit! This is my first time in Mexico and Puerto Vallarta. I am already in love with Mexico and the amazing people that I have met!

Ive been to Puerto Vallarta 3 times now, and Im sure Ill be back many more. I always stay at oasis hostel (oasishostel.com) and even though its a 20 minute walk from centro I never have any problems walking. No one harasses me, apart from an occassional whistle. In all honestly, I feel more safe here than I do back home in Seattle. I feel that a lot of people associate the violence up north with all of Mexico and that is just not true.

We too never felt threatened whatsoever in Puerto Vallarta. In fact, there has been MANY other "more developed" places in the world that we've felt more uncomfortable in! We can't recommend PVR enough :-) Hi Lisa

You definitely won't have much trouble on your drive to the hotel. You'll see plenty of fun things though: Families riding in the back of pick ups, sometimes on chairs, flower sellers at the traffic lights, beautiful ocean views, tourists wearing all manner of crazy/inappropriate outfits. You'll have a blast :) Andrew Hey Nadia,
