Picture Yourself in Puerto Vallarta
Palapas on the beach are one of those travel sights that let you know you’re far from home and deep in tropical drinks territory. At right is a picture of palapas on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — does it get your tastebuds going for those margaritas on the sand? Picture yourself lounging in a deck chair under a thatched umbrella — perhaps you’ll work up the energy to go parasailing, mountain biking, whale watching or jet skiing next. Or maybe you’ll just rest up for tonight’s tour of Puerto Vallarta nightlife.
These palapas are peeping over the rim of the pool at the NH Krystal Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, a great spring break hotel; the 32-acre resort is also home to a bikini photography contest that happens over Labor Day in Puerto Vallarta. Oh — and apply for a passport now to put yourself in this picture for spring break.
