Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Puerto Vallarta and Punta Mita?
Puerto Vallarta proper is a real Mexican town – cobblestone streets, the Malecón boardwalk, the Romantic Zone, plus the resort strip (Zona Hotelera). Punta Mita is a gated luxury peninsula 45 minutes north in neighboring Nayarit state – quieter, higher-end, mostly resort-only. Puerto Vallarta is the right pick if you want town energy and easy walkability; Punta Mita is the right pick if you want secluded luxury and don’t plan to leave the resort.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta for a honeymoon?
November through May is the prime window – warm dry days (75-85°F) and minimal rainfall. June through October is hot and humid with daily afternoon thunderstorms, and hurricane season runs June through November. December through March is also peak whale-watching season in Banderas Bay.
How far is Puerto Vallarta International from the resorts?
Puerto Vallarta International (PVR) is unusually central – 5 to 15 minutes by car from Marina Vallarta, 15-25 minutes from Zona Hotelera and Old Town, and about 45 minutes from Punta Mita. This proximity is one of the destination’s underappreciated honeymoon advantages: less travel time on arrival and departure days.
Is Puerto Vallarta safe for couples?
Puerto Vallarta’s tourist areas – the Zona Hotelera, Marina Vallarta, the Malecón, Old Town/Romantic Zone, and Punta Mita – are considered low-risk for visitors. The US State Department travel advisory rates Jalisco state (which contains Puerto Vallarta) higher than Quintana Roo overall, but within Puerto Vallarta itself the resort and tourist zones see very little crime against visitors. Standard precautions apply.
What's included in an adults-only all-inclusive resort in Mexico?
Standard all-inclusive coverage in Mexico includes the room, all meals across the resort’s restaurants, all drinks (typically including premium spirits and house wine), nightly entertainment, taxes, and gratuities. Most properties also include 24-hour room service, non-motorized water sports, and one or more specialty restaurants. Premium dining experiences, motorized water sports, spa services, and off-property excursions are usually charged à la carte.
Why are there no Sandals resorts in Mexico?
Sandals Resorts operates exclusively in the Caribbean – Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Curaçao, and Saint Vincent. There is no Sandals property in Mexico. Couples who want the Sandals experience without the Caribbean flight typically choose Secrets, Excellence, Le Blanc, or the adults-only sections of Hyatt Zilara – several of which appear in our rankings here. See our Sandals alternatives in Mexico guide for a side-by-side.
Do I need a passport to fly to Mexico?
Yes. US citizens travelling to Mexico by air must have a valid passport book – a passport card alone is not accepted at airline check-in. Mexico itself does not require six months of remaining passport validity, but most airlines and travel insurers do, so check your expiration date well in advance of the trip.
