When you are planning a romantic escape for two, choosing the right neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta changes everything. My partner and I always tell friends that where you stay sets the rhythm for your entire trip. If you want a mix of quiet seclusion and vibrant local culture, Amapas is simply unbeatable.
Let me share why we LOVE this hillside neighborhood and why it makes the absolute best base for couples exploring PV together!
The Ultimate Romantic Setting in the Hills
Amapas sits just elevated above the bustling shoreline, offering a lush, tropical sanctuary. When you wake up here, you are greeted by rustling palm trees and sweeping views of Banderas Bay.
It feels miles away from the city noise, yet you are just a short walk from the energy below. That balance of tranquility and accessibility is what makes Amapas so special for couples looking to reconnect.
Walking Distance to Zona Romántica and Old Town
One of the best parts about staying in Amapas is how effortlessly you can dive into the local culture. When people ask us about the layout, we always remind them that Zona Romántica and Old Town are the exact same vibrant neighborhood.
You can walk down the hillside street in minutes and find yourself right in the middle of incredible restaurants, art galleries, and lively cafes. Whether you want to grab morning coffee on Basilio Badillo or stroll hand-in-hand along the beach, everything is right at your fingertips.
Why Amapas Beats the Crowds
Staying directly on the main strip can sometimes feel overwhelming with constant traffic and late-night noise. Amapas gives you the best of both worlds because you can enjoy peaceful evenings on your private balcony.
We love spending our afternoons watching the sunlight shift across the bay before heading down for dinner. But best of all, you never have to worry about long commutes when you want a quiet evening together.
