Took a stroll to the beach...
Puerto Vallarta has many different beaches, and while my favorites for swimming happen to be on the southside of the bay in Punta Negra & Mismaloya, the beach in the Marina is perfect. There is public access along side the bayview grand complex and a nice long walk down to the Westin. At high tide there are some areas where you may get your feet wet though! If you find yourself heading the opposite direction (perhaps for a sea turtle release) on the beach during the rainy reason be sure to keep your eye out for crocodiles!

The location of our room was not good, way in a corner with terrible view. The lay out of the place and location of the elevators results in a lot of backtracking if you have a room "off the beaten track". That said, it was very clean. Staff were wonderful. Food was good but not great. We had a one ...
