Excellent place. Excellent winter weather. Must see
Despite its name, Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone isn't just for couples. This vibrant area is lined with cool shops, street vendors, art galleries, restaurants, and queer-friendly bars, making it a popular spot for families, LGBTQIA travelers, and everyone in between. Stroll along the district’s cobblestone streets, shop for local handicrafts and souvenirs, or sit at an outdoor restaurant for drinks and to people-watch. Uncover all the best food stops in the Romantic Zone on a food tour of Puerto Vallarta. Los Muertos Beach is also a great stop, especially at sunset. You can also visit Cuale Island in the middle of the Romantic Zone, where you’ll find a flea market and a cultural center. – Tripadvisor

Excellent place. Excellent winter weather. Must see
The area is old town with many new hotels and abnbs. The malecon runs along the beach and seawall. This is the most popular part of Puerto Vallarta to visit. Many restaraunts and bars to chose from. It is a must see. There are some things you need to know. The area is expensive. The streets are cobblestone and you must watch your step everywhere. The hotels extend up the hills and can be a hard climb if you are heavy or have bad knees or feet. We stayed up the hill in a fourth floor apartment without an elevator. Take this into consideration. Many people winter here and there are few available rooms at lower prices . Staying in another area and taking a bus or taxi is a good idea. Book your rooms early . Enjoy!

From Gringo gulch, to countless Bars and gay beach’s a terrific place.
Zona Romántica is a trendy neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta, popular with Canadian ex-pats and the LGBT community, with lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, and art galleries scattered around its cobblestone streets. Popular events and sights are the Olas Alta’s Farmers Market in Lázaro Cárdenas Park, and the Playa Los Muertos pier built-in 2013, with its large sail that changes colour at night. Elizabeth Taylor's old home in Gringo Gulch, Casa Kimberly is a very good place to enjoy romantic evenings, or if you are more adventurous check out the drag shows at the Palm Cabaret and bar. The ever-popular Los Muertos Beach (Beach of the Dead) attracts locals and visitors alike to its golden sand and sparkling ocean water. A brisk walk along the waterfront will take you past dozens of unusual and beautiful bronze sculptures TIP: Take a boat trip from the end of the pier for a fishing trip or to visit the more secluded beaches!
