Favorite Dinner Joints ($$$ or $$$$)

Excellent restaurant serving a wide array of dishes (steaks, seafood, pasta, salads and more). Warm, intimate setting but casual. Relaxed dress code but most folks wear a nice t-shirt or collared shirt. Two minute walk from Casa Encanto! The owners also have an EXCELLENT Thai restaurant directly next door called Siam Thai. Slightly more casual but the food is awesome! ($$$)

On every "Best of PV' list for dinner. Great for special occasions. T-shirts in a pinch, but collared shirt is best. Located in "Centro" but only 7 minutes by cab or a 20 minute walk. ($$$$)

Manieren om te besparen

I have secured special rates for various excursions for you!

Manieren om te besparen

Always decline the conversion when using local ATMs

When using a local ATM, the machine will ask if you want to use a local conversion from pesos to dollars. ALWAYS answer NO. The conversion rate is terrible and the difference goes directly to the bank!
Vervoersmogelijkheden

Ubers are usually plentiful if it's not peak season

Hailing an Uber is easy. The cars/drivers are registered, there won't be confusion on where you are going and no need for cash. They are usually cheaper than a taxi too!
