Yesterday we headed over to Marina Vallarta to explore the area and try a new place to eat. If you're curious as to what the Marina area looks like, just check out our video:
So which is better?
So which one is better? That's a really tough comparison. As usual with our comparison videos, we don't believe either one is better overall, they are just different. However, they each have their own unique atmosphere that may suit you better depending on what you're looking for.
If you are coming to Mexico for the first time, or if you just want to really get a feel for what Puerto Vallarta and Mexican culture is like, we suggest Old Town.
If you aren't a big beach person and you don't necessarily care to be in a downtown area, or just don't want to be in the middle of all of the action, Marina Vallarta may be a better fit. Marina Vallarta is a little more expensive in terms of shopping and eating out, but I would imagine that to be the case in marinas across the globe.
In our opinion (we are wrong sometimes), Old Town feels a lot more lively and active and Marina Vallarta, though it has plenty of bars and restaurants, feels like it is suited to a much quieter crowd.
Now that we have spent plenty of time in Puerto Vallarta we can appreciate going to Marina Vallarta and getting a feel for what it is like. I could easily see us living in an area like when we are older and if we had a car that allowed us to more easily get around the city (I know, I know, the buses and taxis run there too).
Hopefully this gave you a little insight into which area of Puerto Vallarta may be better for you. There is no one part that is the BEST, it just #really depends on what you are looking for.
If this didn't answer any questions you had, check out the video above at the 11:41 mark. If that still doesn't do it for you, feel free to shoot us an email at KineticKennons@gmail.com
Where Did We Eat
Ah, you just wanted to know where we ate. I don't blame you!
We had dinner at La Terraza Di Roma. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional, and the views were impeccable.
Greg ordered the lasagna and Hillary ordered the four cheese pasta. We would both recommend ordering those dishes again. However, the pizza smelled SO good that we might consider ordering a pizza next time just based on those smells!
The dinner cost 330 pesos before tip.
For dessert we went to La Federal Vallarta. We highly suggest ordering the Flaming Crepes (I don't think that's the actual name, but there is only one crepe dish on the dessert menu so you can't miss it). We have had a lot of crepes, but that one may have been one of the best we have ever had.
Two desserts cost us just under 200 pesos. Well worth it.
If you are in the Marina area and you want to grab dessert, sip on a nice drink, catch a soccer game, or all three, we highly recommend visiting La Federal Vallarta!
Hopefully this information was helpful to you in some way. If it was, leave a comment below and let us know who you are! We love connecting with people:)
Keep it Kinetic,
Greg and Hillary

The Old Town has some great street food, cobbled streets, artwork, grafitti, markets and interesting architecture which is considerably different from the throng of tourists on the Malecon!
I also talk about my future in Mexico. I've spent most of 2018 in Mexico, what are my future plans in terms of living in Mexico?

PUERTO VALLARTA, MX, BEST PLACES TO EAT in ZONA ROMANTICA, MAY 2019. Today I'm sharing some new and revisiting some old favorite places to eat and have a good time in PV, Old Town, Zona Romantica.
Farmers Market Vallarta Old Town 2018 - 2019
Farmers Market Vallarta Old Town and/or Olas Altas for the season 2018- 2019. A glimpse of what to expect from the local vendors and restaurants. Open Saturday from 9:30 to 2 p.m. at Park Lazaro Cardenas in Old Town.
The DARK SIDE of PUERTO VALLARTA
We absolutely love the country of Mexico, but we were shocked by the things no one told us about Old Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
There are a lot of great things about PV but we think it's a city that's just not right for us. Since living in Mexico, we've visited quite a few cities as expats in Mexico and Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco might be our least favorite of them all.
Of course, we have different criteria than you when it comes to what exactly makes a city great, so watch this Puerto Vallarta blog and decide for yourself if you might be able to look past the things that we didn't like.
Are you wondering what life in Puerto Vallarta México is like? Everyone says great things about it but what's the ugly side of Puerto Vallarta? Here's our non-expert opinion as expats in PV.
