I've heard that Puerto Vallarta is a destination for a lot of retirees. How is American immigration changing PV? Are there any safety issues? What is the state of police and/or official corruption? Ken 19:15, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
I have lived in PV for 12 years, full-time, and operate a business here. I have never, once, met anyone who was robbed by police during a drug search. I find the above comment to be bizarre. mtngringo
OK, let's get this up to date Feb 2017, 16 year resident.
Is American standards good,or are they out of control? If you want American standards go to Hawaii, if you want to step out of the box and see how most of the rest of the world lives, try Mexico. What makes Puerto Vallarta so charming is they do not use American standards!! PVKID
Of course most Americans will stay in their hotels, dine at restaurants close to their hotels, and will contact Mexico only via some pastiche folkore show or kitsch bought on the Isla Cuale. Charming mexican Vallarta does exist though, if you just look for it. Head under the Libramiento along the Cuale into Remance some evening and eat at a taqueria there while wandering around (yes it's safe), or head to the big open-air birria joint near the cemetry along the libramiento, or walk around Pitillal, etc.
What's not charming in Mexico or anywhere is police corruption, government corruption, and the like. That too is a part of how the rest of the world lives. Developped countries have managed to curb that quite a bit better than lesser developped countries. That's simply because justice doesn't come cheap. You can see this situation improving gradually in PVR. It would improve even more if Americans were more consciencious about the social inequalities their tourist dollar can sustain if they are not careful where they spend it.

Why did the infamous George Jung in 1969 of all places visit just Puerto Vallarta in search for a producer of marihuana? Had the place some reputation back in 1969, was there a notable pot-industry or was it just coincidence respectively inexperience and he had to start searching somewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.4.71.247 (talk) 05:00, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Asylum Films, infamous for their CGI creature-feature B movies and mockbusters, filmed multiple films in succession in Puerto Vallarta (they even use the same 40 second long establishing shot of the resort in every one of the movies), with the resort identified by name during the establishing shot each time. These include 'Dinoshark' and 'Sharktopus.' Does this count as noteworthy? Atypicaloracle (talk) 03:23, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

I noticed this part in the description of Playa Los Muertos: "Playa Los Muertos (Beach of the Dead) - Col. Emiliano Zapata - the city's largest public beach. Legend has it the beach's name (Dead Men's Beach) stems from a battle between pirates and local miners after which bodies remained strewn on the beach, but it's a legend, since there were never any miners in Vallarta."
I present a separate and better-accepted explanation of the name, that doesn't require an immediate rebuttal as in the prior description: "The beach was a sacred cemetery of the local Indians. This was first noticed when residents started digging up bones in ceramic pots, a local Indian tribal custom when they buried their dead. The most recent evidence supported by Archaeologist Dr. Joseph Mounjoy backs this last theory." from https://www.puertovallarta.net/what_to_do/los-muertos-beach — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hvalborg (talk • contribs) 11:32, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Would List of colonias in Puerto Vallarta or List of neighborhoods in Puerto Vallarta be helpful?
Is there an official list for either? ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:33, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
