    We loved Sabal Playa. In fact, I would go far enough to say that this was the highlight of our Mexico cruise. Our cruise buddies booked an excursion here, which quickly sold out. We were told we could grab a taxi here and buy a day pass, which is what we did with minimal issues. We did not quite know what to expect. Initially, we envisioned a hotel or something of that nature, but it is more of a beach club instead. There is a pool, ample seating, and access to the beach. In addition, they have servers walking around offering drinks and food. Do not miss out on their food!!! I had the amazing shrimp gouda tacos here that make every other shrimp taco I've ever eaten pale in comparison. The drinks were also very good and just boozy enough. One drawback that we found was that they had some merchants occasionally walking around to offer their goods, be it tote bags, jewelry, or hats. A bit annoying, but I respect the hustle. Overall, if your cruise line is offering this excursion or you are thinking of venturing out on your own--do it!

    Hidden gem in mixture of private condos and hotels. Next to delcanto. Access from the street or beach. Amazing sunset and delicious food. Live music Wednesday and Friday Shrimp Gouda tacos was basically a cross of queso fundido and shrimp tacos. Phenomenal. My husband loved the steak and we are from Texas where we get top notch steaks. The burgers itself were really good but my parents didn't like the bread. It was too thick and crunchy to bite into. Best view of the sunset. The GM was extremely friendly and personable. Must visit!

    Came here on 9/11/19 as it was offered as an excursion through Carnival Cruise. It's part of a massive complex of other hotels and resorts about 25 minutes from the port. We wanted beach access however we were looking to get away from the constant flow of vendors since there are no private beaches in Mexico. This place is phenomenal! Not a hotel or resort, just a beach club meaning a restaurant, bathrooms, pools, chairs and access to the beach. The grounds are well manicured and all areas are pristine. Service was amazing, they wait on you hand and foot and for visitors coming from the States the prices are outstanding. We each ordered a seafood dish and it was incredibly fresh and delicious. I came with someone that relies on a walker for stability and she was able to get around with no issues. To go to the beach though you have to walk down 8 steps and the water is no more than 200 feet away. The waters were pretty calm but there were some waves that broke close to the shore at times. We were able to use some boogie boards and paddleboards for free. You can come here on your own and I believe they told me the entrance fee is about $25. Only issue is that they are doing construction right next door so there was some noise although it wasn't intolerable. Absolutely recommend this place for anyone visiting that wants a relaxing and safe environment.

    If you book an excursion here through the cruise, make sure you get off the bus first so you can snag the lounge chairs near the pool.

    OMG! We had the best time at The Blue Shrimp in Nuevo Vallarta. The atmosphere and ambience was…read morespectacular. As we walk into the restaurant, I was taken back by the beautiful view of the water and the wide open spares of the restaurant it self. The restaurant very tall ceiling made of palm tree branches. The lighting is beautiful and mystical. They have large pictures of the owner and famous actors and actress, and singers. They also have a large walk-in wine cooler that is visible from the outside. Very fun! We were grated right away by a very kind young man. We then were escorted to our table that was located towards the right side of the restaurant over looking the water. Definitely the best table in the restaurant. We were given menus and a cocktail/wine list. The hostess pulled out my mom's and my chair to be seated. After glancing over the menu we decided to order a bottle of wine for the four of us. My kids pick a Diet Coke and Dr. Peper. We were also given bottle water to drink as well. Once are drinks were ordered, we ordered dinner. My dad order the red snapper, my mom ordered the Lobster pizza, my husband ordered the mochaheta, my son got the Surf and Turf, my daughter ordered the sea food pasta, and I ordered the coconut shrimp. Everything came out amazing and out of this world yummy. The presentation was OMG!! Best restaurant we ate at over our 12 day stay. Can't wait to go back. And we even celebrated my daughter's birthday. The candle was my favorite party. See you guys soon.

    Food was great. Service was fantastic. We're staying at VidantaWorld where food is meh. This was…read more1000% better.

    Second time here while in Vallarta, and it won't be my last. If you're in the area and craving…read morequality seafood, Titi's is the spot. Pro tip: It's cash only, so make sure you have pesos or dollars on hand before you roll in. My absolute favorite here is the Pulpo Zarandeado--perfectly grilled octopus, packed with smoky, savory goodness. The Callo de Hacha Tostada (scallop tostada) is another standout, fresh and full of flavor. And don't sleep on the soup--it's rich, comforting, and totally worth it, even on a hot day. Just pair it with an ice-cold beer, and you're set. Highly recommended for any seafood lover passing through! We took an uber here.

It's steet parking and CASH ONLY at this place They specialize in seafood dishes and we started with their coconut shrimp (the call cockroach shrimp, ha!). They shrimp were huge. Our seemed like maybe they were overcooked just a little. Regardless, they were still good! We also tried their Zarandeondo Mahi Mahi. This was a very tasty preparation of the fillet covered in a delicious sauce mixed with vegetables. It could have used a little more fillet though. Regardless, we definitely liked it...just wished we had more! My buddy complimented his meal with a Coke while I down a couple beers. But ordered up a couple beers. But we did both order up a shot of anejo tequila. There's a couple big screen TVs and this is an outside dining area (no AC if that's what you require). It's just street parking too. Best thing about this place are the prices...our two fish orders, two beers, a soda, and two shots...under $50 with tip!
