Next stop is Puerto Vallarta - Wow! I've got some time there!

Thinking about THE BEACH CLUB at LA PALAPA during the day (ship doesn't leave until late).

Dinner at Cafe des Artistes. Am I eatin' good?

    Yes, La Palapa is always great, you could pop into Daquiri Dick's too.
    I adore Cafe des Artistes but also if you want a fantastic view go to El Panorama in the Siesta Suites Hotel (take a cab as the walk is gruesome, we stayed at the hotel once and walked it every day and it nearly killed us!). But the restaurant is awesome.

      Thanks bronwen. I checked out El Panorama's menu in the Siests, think I stick with El Arrayan.

      La Palapa or next door at Amapas Sunset are great places to spend the day.
      I'm not a fan of Cafe des Artistes but lots of people rave. As alternatives in the same class with a view (no view at Cafe des Artistes) there is the La Palapa sister restaurant Vista Grill http://www.vistagrill.com/ or the beautiful Hacienda San Angel.

        Appreciate your suggestions, mexivilla, but neither menu gave me a WOW! I'm an LA resident; to many similarities.

        Maybe I should llip to El Arrayan?
