While soaking in the warm sun (overcast morning til 10a), snoozing, eating, drinking and people watching, I didn't want the day to end. Never got to see our hotel room until later in the evening. Lots of vendors all over the beach, just need to learn to tune them off if not interested and simply say "no thank you." However, good luck, with the persistence ones. We got our foot massage by Alejandro Molina, a couple times one day. He's that guy walking through the Los Muertos beach with all his equipment: black folding seat, large umbrella, yellow towels, massage ball, head and feet cushions, and massage chair if you prefer over hotel lounge chair. We liked our food vendors: you can hear David a mile away selling his oysters, Miguel (clams) wearing "Mexican viagra" t-shirt , Sebastian with his smile and sombrero selling mangos and lastly, Zeke and son "Zeke Ceviche" selling their ceviche tostadas. If you're not staying in a hotel by playas Los Muertos, beach vendors and restaurants on the beach will charge you anywhere from 150 pesos to 450 pesos for their chairs, table and umbrella (depends on your food consumption at their restaurant). The beach can get packed up until sunset with lots of beach goers and passer-bys, locals or non local, the entire beach is lively and busy. Lastly, a must see sunset. Next to Mazatlan and La Paz, Mexico, Puerto Vallarta has one of the best sunsets. At playas Los Muertos , you can do it all here...

Depending on where you are, it's public so there's people laying out and enjoying the water. There's also lounges that's available for the day. Each section is different as they all have different color lounges, some with umbrellas and some that's part of the hotel. Also, restaurants have seating on the sand which offers full menu of food and drinks. Waiter service. As for what section you're in, you could order food and drinks if you're utilizing the chairs or beds. Vendors walk up and down selling their goods as well as fruit, and seafood trays being offered for purchase. People also lay out in-front of the lounges with their own towels and chair as it's public beach. You can also enjoy water activities from the pier. It's the staple beach for this area so you'll have both locals and visitors all doing the same thing, enjoy the water and sun.

Music added ambiance but wasn't the pounding club vibe of some other places. Water in this area is calm and not overly crowded. Maybe I just got lucky, but the people sitting near me were friendly which was nice on my solo trip. The menu looks good, and those around me got their food relatively quickly and had no complaints, but my experience was different. It took forever to get someone to take my order. Well over half an hour, I'd been given no update about my order. When my waiter finally happened to pass by, I asked about my food, and told him to cancel my cocktail and just bring me water. I was so dehydrated and hungry . The water didn't take too long (though it should've been faster considering the extended wait already), but my ceviche took at least another half hour to get to me. It looked ok and tasted fine, but within an hour, my stomach turned sour. I spent the next two days feeling sick. It left me wondering if my food had been sitting out. I'm not saying don't go there, but be careful with what you order, and if your food isn't served promptly, maybe cancel it just to be safe.

First win: patio seating right at the edge with an open view of the bay. Ocean breeze, boats drifting by, prime people-watching. Second win: margaritas served in comically large metal goblets. Ice cold, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you want when you've been power-shopping in the sun. I ordered the seafood tostada and my mom went with the shrimp. Both arrived piled high with fresh seafood and crisp vegetables on crunchy tostada shells. Bright flavors, great texture, and no skimping on ingredients. It felt indulgent but still light enough to keep the day going. Friendly service, strong drinks, fresh seafood, and a front-row seat to the bay? Add this to your Malecón rotation.

On weekend mornings, it turns into a bustling food and gift market. In the evenings, there are colorful musical and dance performances (Video). Local art is peddled all day throughout the area (Photo 7). In other words, there's constant activity. What impressed us most was the mosaic artwork covering the curving benches. It reminded us of Gaudi's handiwork in Barcelona's Parc Guell (review: https://yelp.to/J6Tb8URqmb). It was part of an art installation project started in 2017 by artist Natasha Moraga and volunteers, and the results certainly enliven an otherwise bland concrete plaza.

Our server was a super friendly, hard-working man and he took such great care of us. That is a tough job, and the service was exceptional during our visit. We got a table and chairs, with an umbrella set up and we decided to have some food while we enjoyed the afternoon sun. As we sat and relaxed, it was apparent that almost all the peeps in our space were retired expats who had moved abroad. I have read about these peeps before ur trip, but never had I actually met them! We met a couple from San Francisco CA (my hometown) and Cathy had big science fair posterboards, with squares for the Superbowl! I swear, this was a window into the future because I want to be that person!! Ugh, back to the review. I was starving and decided to order the avocado tuna app, and the Caesar salad with grilled shrimps. Yo, the avocado tuna dish was so good! Fresh, cold tuna, perfectly dressed and seasoned well, served with tortilla chips. Excellent dish with great flavors. The salad and grilled shrimp were so good! Refreshing crispy lettuce, and perfectly seasoned grilled shrimp, with just the right amount of zesty dressing. I could spend the entire vacation just sitting here, enjoying the people-watching, the food, the drinks, and the sun. Wonderful experience and I would go back today if I could.

El Solar is no-frills, but it's great if you aren't high maintenance and want a place where you can drink and dine steps away from the ocean. If you come here, stick to the drinks. They were tasty and strong, with creative combinations. The food, on the other hand, was a massive miss. We ordered the garlic shrimp pan for $180 pesos and were disappointed. The shrimp was seasoned well, but the portion size was really small. The bread it was served with was stale and gross. We enjoyed the complimentary bowl of chips and salsas more than the appetizer. Next up we got shrimp tacos in pastor and baja styles (3 small tacos per order, $230 pesos each). The tacos fared a little better, but we didn't enjoy them as much as everyday street tacos that you can get from carts around town. My tacos had an off-putting, super bright, neon orange color to them (see photos) that admittedly freaked me out. I ate them, but I still wonder what made them that color! The shrimp was grilled with chunks of pineapple, red onion, and cilantro. The baja style shrimp tacos were traditional and battered and fried, with lettuce and sauce. The food wasn't bad, but I would not eat here again. The drinks were the real deal. Creative cocktails, including the incredibly tasty watermelon margarita, were home runs. Note that the drinks are VERY small, so you will want to order at least two per person (okay, maybe three). They also aren't as cheap as you can get drinks at other, more local bars around town, however. The setting is nice, including a large outdoor patio and seats directly in the sand on the beach. This is a public beach, so don't expect resort quality amenities. We didn't notice vendors coming up to anyone though, which is rare in Mexico. If you look like a tourist, they will bug you. The beach isn't glamorous, but it's a nice place to sit out and listen to the ocean breeze. Note that this place is near an open dumpster so if it's super hot or windy, you WILL get a wiff of nasty garbage. Note that this place is strictly CASH ONLY, or at least that's what they told us on the day we visited. Is this true all the time? I'm not sure. But bring pesos or US dollars just in case.
