    Hacienda San Angel is a favorite of ours for the special dinner as well as Sunday brunch. The staff is always very attentive, the food is delicious, the setting is like Old Mexico with the beautiful courtyard and roof top dining area. The food is reasonably priced for the quality and variety of dishes. The view from the balcony overlooking the hill top and beyond is especially beautiful at night time.

    🌊 Had an absolutely magical dinner experience tonight with my wife at Mar Y Vino in Puerto Vallarta! Imagine dining with your feet in a shallow pool while watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. The unique "pool dining" concept combined with panoramic ocean views made for an unforgettable evening. Those white carved chairs are actually IN the water - such a creative way to keep cool while enjoying fine dining! We were welcomed with a tropical drink before being seated, and we were treated to music from a fantastic soloist who created a wonderful mood all evening long. The unexpected fireworks display over the beach was the perfect cherry on top! The food was absolutely delicious (lobster for my wife and bacon-wrapped shrimp for me) and the portions were just the right size. This has to be one of Puerto Vallarta's most unique dining spots. Talk about dinner with a splash! 💦 And yes, our feet stayed prune-free throughout the entire meal - though we wondered if the same could be true for the staff. Thanks for the recommendation from our friend. And thanks to Mar Y Vino for the first class experience. Without question, tonight’s dinner venue was one of the highlights of our Puerto Vallarta vacation. We won’t forget it. 🌅 #PuertoVallarta #MarYVino #FeetInTheWater #UniqueRestaurants #BeachDining #MexicanVacation #DiningWithAView #WhenInMexico #PoolDining #Fireworks

    Not our first time here and definitely not our last. La Palapa is beautiful, elegant, relaxing, fun, and delicious! We came here for my my cousin’s rehearsal dinner a couple years ago and we had to come back while in PV for my birthday. We HAD to get the Coconut Shrimp and the cocktails were amazing! Always take the bartender’s special of the night—they are creative and perfectly crafted. When given the option, I’ll always choose dinner on the beach 😍

    This was not just a meal, but a lovely experience! We were here to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from college & it was perfect from start to finish. Impecable service , personal touches, quiet ambiance. The hotel casa Kimberly is filled with Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton memorabilia: pics, movie posters etc not kitchey but conservative and adds to the ambience. This is a perfect restaurant for celebration, or romantic atmosphere. The architecture and authentic Mexican tiles are picturesque. Will definitely recommend to friends and come again for a special occasion.
