This is a residential and commercial area surrounding a marina full of boats, many of them luxurious. A resident crocodile often basks in the sun next to the boats. Many of the smaller boat tours depart from here. Marina Vallarta was built in the 1980's, so it doesn't have the Mexican charm of the local neighbourhoods in town. However, is a nice place to stroll and grab a meal. Staying in this area could be fine too (beachside, marina side and golf course options available), as long as you aren't seeking the continuous downtown buzz and are fine to visit downtown as needed (a 20 minute drive away). In a normal year (not 2021) there is an outdoor market on Thursday nights.

Accommodations were excellent. Front desk staff all informative and helpful. Thank you all the Alida’s!
Cleaning staff kept our place spotless and replenished supplies as needed.
Great location. Several excellent restaurants within walking distance and all were affordable.
Not a huge resort. Small hotel with loads of character.

Customer service could be better. Our T.V. control was not working properly and reception man told us he’d send somebody to help us, person never came. Over all ok. Very nice view and spacious.

We had no idea that this service was available until this year, we are staying in this area and another tourist shared with us that it was nice just to take it to go for coffee. What a great idea! It gets you on the water on a mini tour of the marina for 25 pesos. The wild life is wonderful to see along the banks.

We were staying at Vidanta but took a cab here. Walked around the Marina and ended up having a wonderful dinner at the Italian restaurant there. Sorry, but forgot the name of it. Have been here before and will return again in the near future.

Not much of a dock to walk around…they are all private. We snuck onto one and saw pelicans in the trees….bit of a disappointment but at least we got some well priced vanilla at the supermarket in the shopping centre.

We went on a Sunday morning and it was VERY quiet. We did find somebody to take 8 of us a pontoon ride down the river/channel and saw many crocodiles, hundreds of iguanas and nice homes and yachts. Glad we found somebody to do this as it was well worth the hour plus boat ride. We paid $14 each for 7 of us and they didn't charge for the 3 year old. Who really enjoyed looking for the crocs and iguanas. Fun day in the marina. Dec 2017.

we stumbled upon this place while going shopping and met Captain Cruze who runs Eddies boat .
we got 2hr whale watching trips for £30.00 per couple .
you charter the boat which will take 6 people for 3000 Peso for 2 hours,
far cheaper than any other tours.
you can take as much beer as you like on board and he puts it all in the fridge for you .
it is like your own boat for a couple of hours he will also do longer trips if you negotiate the price with him .
greta days out we went 4 times .
also Captain George who runs the river safari fantastic and very cheap.
give it a go you will love it.
also some nice shops in marina good yacht bar .
and a Maccie D,s in the shopping centre

In an area that is all generic high end resorts the Nuevo Vallarta has some genuine local flavor and feel to it. Not a lot to see or do here but there’s good restaurants at great prices that are struggling to compete with the giant and average to poor restaurants at Vidanta.

Very convenient to most resorts located south of the Marina and North of the River. An evening walk of the beach adds to the experience. The Marina is home to many nice restaurants and little shops. Most restaurants were taking cash only, preferring Pesos. Additionally, the restaurants have added additional outdoor seating to accommodate COVID protocols. A unique experience.

Hi Helen, Thanks for info about water taxi and canal tour. .Could you provide some more information? Does Water Taxi across the channel between Paradise Village and Grand Mayan side have an online web address? What are hours of operation and schedule for back and forth? What is cost? You mentioned it was a bit difficult to find water taxi. Where are the boarding points? Thank you.
Written 14 March 2019
These are questions I cannot fully answer. The Neuvo water taxi is at the Yacht club just past the Mall and the condo complex that back onto the water. I believe it docks at the harbor in Puerto Vallarta where the cruise ships also dock.
Written 23 March 2019
I believe there is. But I have not taken it. I believe you can get it from the Nuevo Vallarta harbor.

My family of 3 will be visiting Nuevo Vallarta the week of Dec 17 and would love to hire Capt. Cruze (Eddie's boat) for a whale watching trip. Do you by chance know how to contact him and what his rates would be for about 3-4 hours? Would also like to learn more about what the river safari with Capt. George is and how much it costs. Thanks so much for any help!
Written 19 November 2017
No, sorry I don't know. But if you go down to the Nuevo Vallarta harbor, I am sure you can find out.
