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.

The week we went in May all 4 days we were well served and dealt with amazing staff the bartenders and servers although they had shortage were on their feet. Some things to note is there is an entrance day fee charge upon entry i believe it was 300 pesos per a person. Basically you can sit anywhere thats what we did. The loungers are comfy. The very upside is if you decide to sit in the area near their onsite outdoor pool with loungers you have the saving grace of avoiding all merchants as its tucked within the club. You are not bothered by anyone only the servers who come ask for drinks and onsite guests. We saw this as a perk cause honestly we were harassed by the merchants when sitting in the beach area. The same lady that wanted to braid hair and sell necklaces and guy selling viagara kept coming to us after we said no 20x plus. Its cause the other foreign people bought something alerted their entire squadron to come down and make rounds the entire time we were there. We immediately moved inside and that blocked that out conpletely and this is the only beach day place that has this perk in PVR. Lets talk about food. Seafood ceviche on point and very filling. The nachos and guacomole was very tasty. Say NOoooo to cheese they really have a heavy hand on the cheese. The BLT, Eggplant vegan sandwich was on point and delish. Each of their menu its is very full serving so dont over order. Any left over food be sure to have it moved as the birds will come to you !!! The drinks were goood. Delish they were on point. Good price not overy expensive but not cheap either. Be sure what you buy as they may get things wrong as long as you keep a record and proof then ur solid. We were treated well here and most important TIP them. Thank you Sapphire Team qould highly reccomend.

This could've been a 5, BUT... Let's start with the good:…read moreGood location Able to walk up around 10:30 and get a lounger, a few rows back, but I could still see the ocean, and an umbrella was key for a day in the 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.

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.
