Pretty Helpful

I got some good tips from the book. It helped me get familar with the layout of the area. In short, the top things I learned from the book were: 1) At the Puerto Vallarta airport keep your head down and don't talk to anyone. They're all trying to sell you something. 2) Use the pedestrian walk to cross over the highway and get a cheaper cab than from the airport. (We bargained and got a $13 USD ride to Nuevo Vallarta) 3) Vallarta Adventures is a reputable tour group in the area. We booked all our tours through them in advance on their website. www.vallarta-adventures.com

Frommer's Portable Puerto Vallarta

I enjoyed this guide book. It's not super comprehensive, but then it's not meant to be. The small size enabled me to slip into my pocket and carry it with me. It had enough information to guide me around Puerto Vallarta, and we tried several of the restaurants that it recommended with good results - the La Palapa restaurant was superb! I loved that place - slightly expensive, but worth it. A very romantic beach front restaurant. Buy this guide-book and the Moon guide-book and you'll have enough information to explore the Puerto Vallarta area.

Frommer's Mexico books are the best!

I've used the big Frommer's Mexico book countless times, but this small book is a must for anyone going to the Pacific Coast. The author hails from Puerto Vallarta, and her love for the town shows. Her dining reviews are great, and took me to some great "finds." My only suggestion would be more hotel reviews! Great job overall.
