Enjoyed he video because I live in Puerto Vallarta. For the most part, you were spot on about PV. If a person wants authentic Mexican Cuisine, it is a good idea to go inland a couple of blocks off of the beach and away from the Central District and tourist beaches. We have a couple of places that we frequent often on Brazilia across from the Sheraton Bouganvillia Resort. One is called Tosta and their tostados are out of this world! The other a half block further down is named Kosta Taco and their fresh out of the ocean shrimp are delicious. The prices at these two places are very reasonable and many locals eat at both. Enjoy!

I truly dont think there is a better value vacation than one to PV...just an awesome place to visit!

[moniqueedwards]

Great and accurate description of both cities. I have been to both and you were spot on

[corinnelaking]

Have visited Vallarta twice now. Spent most of both trips in Zona Romantica, though we did arrange some day trips outside of town. A solid overnight trip away from Vallarta is a loop out to Lake Chapala, with a stop in Tequila along the way, and overnight in Guadalajara.

Dry heat vs moist heat....PV every time for me. Give me the lush green jungle mountain views overlooking the Banderas Bay! Cabo is nice, but can't compare. Good for a visit when it is too hot in PV maybe.

Thank you so much Amy...we are visiting Peurta Vallarta next May so your video's have been invaluable....❤

[NarsilRenewed]

Thank you for this, this actually answered some questions I didn't know I had

[josealcala]

It's a no brainer, P.V. is definitely the winner.

[bobfriedel]

Was in PV a month ago. And your videos were great for a first timer to get around. Thank you.

[daprinceomar]

Pv best place in Mexico hands down. better than cabo, cancun, tulim etc. because you get resorts AND a local town

[finster]

I prefer Puerto Vallarta out of the two but just was in cabo and swam with the whale sharks in la Paz which was a very unique experience in that location and the whale activity was also better

[JuanJuanSalonLeon]

Yes Puerto Vallarta is the best destination Cabo is expensive and people like it because is close to 🇺🇸

[franciscomedina]

Puerto Vallarta it’s the best
I like cabo for 1 or 2 weeks

[NancyRemling]

Love your videos. We are going to Cabo in two weeks (middle of August. ). Will there be a lot of jellyfish? Thank you!

I like your video style. Capturing beautiful shots while you vacation. But probably not pulling you away from living in the moment by walking around looking in the camera. Found you looking for Vegas videos, I love all your different travel videos!

[belliott]

I dont find Cabo safer than PV, I actually have seen more dangerous scams in Cabo and would tend to be more cautious. Just at night downtown, not during the day.

[karlkobler]

Cabo for luxury, PV for all around and for Botique hotels. Can’t do the Cabo land cruise ships.

[maxkelter]

Not to mention PV is USA territory of America. Tnx info.

[pennyking]

Cabo is beautiful but unfortunately over building and money destroyed it. It is like Orange County, not like Mexico.
I used to go there when it was a nice fishing town. Now it is a high priced tourist trap. I stay in La Paz and San Jose Del Cabo

[francesduman]

I don't like humidity so, PV was not very enjoyable to me. Won't be back
