The Zona Romantica is just that...romantic. And bohemian. And gritty. Love the wrought iron on the buildings, the local restaurants and the older, reasonably priced hotels. Everything you need is within walking distance. The beach is lively and perfect. Sigh...I want to go back. More

There are some fantastic beachside restaurants in this area. The beach is great and the best place to watch a sunset in the PV area. I would rather go there in the evening than just about anywhere else in PV More

The area is clean, a wonderful place to walk around, shop. eat and explore. Everyone is friendly and once you get past the pushy sales people on the street, (you have to realize they have had a tough year and are desperate for business) they do respect when you say no thanks and leave you alone. Shop, eat and enjoy... More

My best friend and I ventured out to the Zona Romantica for a night of partying and we were not disappointed. There is a mix of locals and tourists. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy but been to worse. More

There is an amazing street party on New Year's Eve on Olas Altas that shouldn't be missed. No need to pay cover for a club. The club is in the streets! More
