Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Grace

Come here for a more chill mood and enjoy their huge outdoor deck area. You can sit down and relax on the couches or challenge your buddies to a game of pool.

Senor Frog's

If you've been to one anywhere then you will know what to expect here. Senor Frog's may be expensive, but it is always rocking. Feel free to dance on the tables when you are done with your meal.

The Zoo

If the name doesn't sound wild enough, then all you need to do is stop by on any night to confirm your suspicions. The Zoo has cages throughout the bar and the animal theme is consistent throughout. The party doesn't stop until the sun comes up and the DJs keep the energy level at a fever pitch all night.

Carlos O'Brians

Carlos O'Brians is a favorite among students during Spring Break. A saying on their website sums it up: "If you went to Vallarta and you didn't visit Carlos O'Brian's. Why did you go to Vallarta?"

Collage

Collage is world famous for its foam parties with crowds of 2,000. The bar has been featured on E, Playboy, MTV and in tons of magazines. If you think you are a real baller and have the cash to back it up then you can call ahead to reserve a VIP table.

Christine

The best dancing club in Puerto Vallarta, Christine pumps music out all night long. It is huge and is definitely a student favorite. Warning: it is only open a few nights a week so check before you go. Checkout this 1-min YouTube video.

Hacienda Hotel & Spa

The 155 room Hacienda Hotel is gorgeous and will be a hotspot all Spring Break. The rooms are designed with local Mexican flair. The outside pool looks like something out of the jungle since it is surrounded by tiki huts and palm trees.

Adventures

Zip-line through the jungle - An awesome way to spend a day away from the beach is going to one of the jungle courses. You will get outfitted and get to spend your day flying through the trees.

Deep Sea Fishing - Check out Banderas Bay for the best charters.

Jet Skiing - You won't have to walk far to find a Jet Ski to rent. Try your best to bargain and then jet off into the Pacific.

Parasail - Like jet skiing, try your best to bargain, but know that the view from the sky is well worth the price.

Location Subsection

  • Puerto Vallarta brings the heat…literally. It is located far south on the west coast of Mexico. This destination gives an enticing blend of relaxation, adventure, and world class partying. It is one of the fastest growing Spring Break destinations.

    Located on the Western Pacific coast of Mexico in the state of Jalisco, Puerto Vallarta's charm makes the resort famous around the world. Along with its cobblestone streets, stunning beaches, plentiful marine life, lush Sierra Madre Mountains, exceptional restaurants, fine Gourmet Festival, new golf courses and vibrant culture, Puerto Vallarta is a vacationer's paradise that has maintained its unique Old Mexico charm despite the addition of these modern conveniences.

    Around the Bay, beautiful beaches, lush jungles and sparkling waterfalls offer many opportunities for the adventurous, while five star resorts, world-class shopping and gourmet restaurants satisfy even the most sophisticated traveler. Stretching from the south end of Old Town to central downtown, a newly extended and refurbished boardwalk along the ocean, called the Malecon, passes by any number of shops, restaurants, and hotels, and often plays host to mimes, breakdancers, clowns and artists. content via wikitravel
