The Vicki Gunvalson Guide to Puerto Vallarta!

Jul 20, 2016 By Ashley B What do you think?

FacebookTweetEmail

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico holds a special place in Vicki Gunvalson’s heart! It’s herย retreat from (and sometimes host of) drama on Real Housewives of Orange County and the place she brings her family to get away from it all.ย She’s been coming here for so long, she’s even been dubbed the Mayor of Puerto Vallarta… so take some tips from Vickiย on where to stay,ย what to eat, and things to doย in PV!

 

1 . Stay at Garza Blanca Resort OR Villa la Estancia Riviera Nayarit

 

When she’s not whooping it up in downtown PV, Vicki finds tranquility at the remarkableย Garza Blanca Resort. Just a stones throw from the city, this best-kept-secret offersย lux digs in a romantic setting with dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean and a near-private beach. — What happened here?

 

Thisย mega-resort played host to Tamra’s wild Mexican bachelorette party!ย Yep, this is where Tamra got her a face full of chorizo from those strippers and where Vicki left her “mark” on the bed after having a hard laugh at Gretchen’s expense! — What happened here?

 

2. Breakfast at Mama Rosa’s

 

Shannon and David may have had a falling out here (despite Vicki’s efforts!) but don’t let that keep YOU fromย falling into one of the best breakfasts in Jalisco! It’s a Friday/Saturday/Sunday only thing and well worth it forย family recipes and stunning bird’s eye views of the city. — What happened here?

 

3. Saddle Up forย Horseback Riding

Take a break from the beach and get to know the unseen side of Puerto Vallarta and the village of Paso Ancho.ย Horseback riding isย the best way to find remote waterfalls, explore the jungle, and discover just how much of a city slicker you are! According to Vicki, she has known the family who operates this excursion for many years and even bought the very horses they use to give tours! — What happened here?

 

4. Lunch at Cuale Paradise Restaurant at Bar

If you do take the horseback ride, they’ll drop you off at this restaurant right on the Rio Cuale river! Vicki arranged a romantic meal for Shannon and David… see how much fun they’re having?! Ok, they’re totally miserable, but it’s a beautiful spot and so long as your relationship isn’t in a rut, you’ll love the food and scenery! — What happened here?

 

5. Hang at Vallarta Cigar Factory

According to Miss V, you gotta enjoy a cigar when you visit Puerto Vallarta. This place will hand-roll one just for you. Not into smoking? Go for the coffee, espresso, cognac or cocktails! — What happened here?

 

6. Beach Dinner at La Palapa

This place is pure magic! Check out our visitย at La Palapa here. Incredible seafood, margaritas, live music and more right on the beach. — What happened here?

 

7. Drink and dance at Andales!

Hands down, Vicki’s personal favorite watering hole in PV! A night out on the town isn’t complete without drinks at Andales. A tip for visitors: the crowd doesn’t get going until at least 11:00pm so save the best for last! — What happened here?
