Table of Contents

Puerto Vallarta is the best place for your summer vacation! There is so much to like about this tropical destination. It is very affordable and travelers benefit from the convenience of several direct flights. It’s little wonder that it is one of the most popular beach destinations both for national and international vacation seekers. If you enjoy fun in the sun, there is plenty to be found for the whole family from enjoying picnics on the beach, to horseback riding, to snorkeling with multi-colored fish or taking a daytime sailing tour. They are so many wonderful memories waiting to be made here during any time of the year, but summer is as good a time as any to visit this beautiful seaside destination.

Sunset. Puerto Vallarta

While the weather is hotter here during summertime than through the winter months (October to March), there are plenty of opportunities to cool off in the water or in the air conditioning. Summer is known to be rainy season, but the great thing is that it rarely rains during the day, so you can still work on your tan and get that perfect bronzed glow! At night, when it does rain, you can watch spectacular lightning displays light up the sky and listen to the hypnotizing sound of the raindrops. Enjoy this natural entertainment from the comfort of your hammock on your private balcony at Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa in Puerto Vallarta.
