By

If you are thinking of traveling to Puerto Vallarta or you have already booked your reservation and you are worried about the weather, don’t worry, we are here to tell you that not all is lost.

It’s well known that the rainy and hurricane season begins in Puerto Vallarta in June but this doesn’t have to spoil your plans, since Puerto Vallarta is not facing the open sea, but is located inside Bahía de banderas, the city rarely receives the full impact of these tropical phenomenon, nothing more than a cloudy sky and a few drizzles; Furthermore, these phenomenon frequently goes back to the sea, leaving this little paradise intact.

What is our recommendation?

Mornings are usually the perfect time to enjoy the sun, go to the beach and do outdoor activities. As the day progresses and after having enjoyed the points of interest that the beautiful city of Puerto Vallarta offers, you can relax on the terrace of your balcony, have a cocktail and enjoy magical sunsets, as the clouds become canvases when they are touched by the last rays of sun, a true work of art.

If that’s not enough for you, here are 3 reasons to visit Puerto Vallarta this summer

  1. With the arrival of the rainy season, the vibrant colors and tropical foliage stand out, the areas that look dry and sad in winter season come to life, the hills of the Sierra Madre are painted with an intense green as well as the islands and the parks, showing off the exquisite natural wealth of the area.
  2. It is an excellent season to find promotions and discounts such as our summer rate or our breakfast included promotion where if you book directly with us, during your stay from July 1 to September 30, breakfast is on us!
  3. If you are one of those who enter the sea one step forward and two steps back because the water is cold, that will not happen to you this season because the water temperature in the bay is 29 ° Celsius (average).

Summer is one of the best times to take a trip to the beach because of the summer rates, the intense green foliage and crystal clear waters, belive us your photos will be more instagrammable than ever.

The Wonderful New Year’s Eve Traditions of Mexico

19 Dec

Mexico has some fabulous traditions that are celebrated on the eve of a new year and whether you will be ringing in 2021 with us in your vacation rental, or celebrating from afar, here are some of the fun traditions of Mexico that you can add to your celebration.

Tidy Up! Although your Pinnacle Resorts suite will be immaculately clean, in Mexico we have a tradition of sweeping the broom through the door or throwing a bucket of water over the terrace (please make sure to look down below to avoid soaking passersby!) to “clean out” all that is leftover from the year before, preparing ourselves for all joys that a new year will bring.

Pack Your Suitcases! Although you may have just arrived for your vacation in Puerto Vallarta, grab your suitcase and do a quick walk around the block. This tradition promises that 2021 will be a year full of travel and adventure for you. (Don’t worry, you don’t need to really pack again – empty suitcases work just as well!)

Grab Some Grapes! Eat 12 grapes at midnight, one for each month of the upcoming year. Every sweet grape will mean that the corresponding month will be fruitful and successful, but a sour grape warns you to take precautions for more challenging times.

Pick Your Underpants! Maybe the silliest of all the New Years Eve traditions, the color of your underwear can bring good things to you in 2021:

  • Yellow for wealth and prosperity
  • Red for love and passion
  • Green for good luck
  • Blue for good health
  • White for peace and harmony

…we suggest something multicolored to cover all your bases!

To our guests ushering in 2021 with us and to all our visitors both past and future from around the world, the Pinnacle Resorts staff wishes you 2021 full of good health, travel, and adventure.

The Christmas Traditions of Mexico

08 Dec

If you are visiting Puerto Vallarta over the Christmas season you can expect to trade in cold weather and snowed-in streets for sunshine, ocean breezes, and swaying palm trees. But you don’t need cold weather to be festive for the holidays and here are a few of the most common Christmas traditions in Mexico.

Posadas: meaning “inn” or “shelter” in Spanish, in this celebration, the Bible story of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and their search for a place to give birth is recreated. The festive celebrations take place on each of the nine nights leading up to Christmas and include signing, breaking piñatas, eating tamales, and drinking Ponche, a traditional fruit punch.

Piñatas: not just for birthday parties, piñatas are commonplace at Christmas parties and stuffed with traditional Mexican candies, small toys, and chocolate coins.

Poinsettias: called “Noche Buenas” in Spanish, these festive plants are native to southern Mexico and their use in cultural celebrations dates back to the Aztecs who called these festive plants “Cuetlaxochitl”. Try saying that three times quickly!

Tamales: a traditional Mexican meal served over the holidays, tamales consist of masa (corn dough) stuffed with chicken or pork stew, peppers, cheese, or fruits, and wrapped up in a corn husk.

Nativity Scenes: though midnight mass will be observed in homes rather than church this year, many Mexican families and businesses will have their own nativity scene recreating the Holy family, angels, and shepherds, like in many parts of the world, but in Mexico, the Three Kings are not added to the nativity until January 6th, to mark the Epiphany or Día de Reyes, as it is known in Mexico.

Painted Tin Ornaments: though Christmas trees are not as common in Puerto Vallarta as in other parts of the world, many still decorate using traditional Mexican tin ornaments. Colorful and in endless arrays of colors and designs, these pretty decorations are great keepsakes of your time in Mexico

To all of our guests visiting our luxury vacation rentals in the Puerto Vallarta Romantic Zone this month, and to all of our visitors both past and future, the Pinnacle Resorts staff wishes you the best of the holiday season. May it be as merry and bright as a sunny Puerto Vallarta day.

Thanksgiving in Puerto Vallarta

It feels like summer just ended and Thanksgiving is already just around the corner! November brings perfect temperatures to Puerto Vallarta and for an escape from the fall chill, there isn’t a better destination. If you visit this month during Thanksgiving, you can still easily celebrate the holiday with the help of several restaurants and chefs from our area. Here are some options:

Dine Out. Several restaurants within walking distance from Pinnacle Resorts will be offering traditional Thanksgiving dinners with turkey and all the trimmings. Some of our recommendations include Azafrán Restaurant and Café des Artistes.

Dine In. One of the nicest features of choosing a vacation rental at Pinnacle Resorts over a hotel room is that you have a full kitchen in your suite. If you love to cook, you can do an entire Thanksgiving meal right in your own Pinnacle Resorts kitchen, and you can even have all of the groceries delivered by an excellent grocery store, La Comer.

Delivery. Every year, several restaurants and catering companies offer “Turkey to Go” and they will deliver a full Thanksgiving spread right to your door. You can also have a private chef come to your suite and prepare everything for you. Your Concierge will have a list of catering recommendations from which to choose.

Dine in Nature: For 2020, the beautiful Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens is doing a special Thanksgiving at the Garden dinner, which will be a lovely way to break bread with others in an open-air environment surrounded by gorgeous garden views. Find more information here.

Be sure to talk to your Pinnacle Resorts Concierge when you arrive or contact us in advance for further details, as seating and catering are limited, so reservations should be placed in advance.

Dia de Muertos

Traditions in Puerto Vallarta

If you are traveling to Puerto Vallarta during the first week of November, you’ll be visiting during one of the most important annual cultural celebrations in Mexico: Día de Muertos. Also, called Día de Los Muertos, the “Day of the Dead” is actually a two-day event, on November 1st and 2nd, and though the name may sound like a time of sadness, Día de Muertos is a celebration of the happy remembrance of family and friends who have passed.

One of the things that you will see during this time in Puerto Vallarta are colorful altars that hold the memories of loved ones. Altars will have photographs, flowers, colorful cut paper flags, candies, candles, religious images, favorite foods and drinks of the departed, and the iconic sugar skulls of Mexico decorating them. The altars are not only to honor loved ones but offered as a comfort to the souls of those being remembered, with their favorite dishes and treats to enjoy in the afterlife, candles to light their way, and flowers to bring joy.

You will also likely spy La Catrina at this time of year, the representation of animated female skeletons dressed in fanciful hats and European dresses in the style of the early 1900s. A creation of Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe Posada around 1910, La Catrina has come to be a widely popular part of Día de Muertos celebrations throughout Mexico.

And another part of Día de Los Muertos in Puerto Vallarta that you will want to try is Pan de Muertos, a soft and sweet bread traditionally served for the occasion. Pan de Muertos is generally baked in a round shape to mimic the shape of a skull baked with cross pieces of dough to represent the bones of the dead and then topped with sugar. Pan de Muertos is widely available in late October and early November at bakeries, grocery stores, and cafes around Puerto Vallarta.

November is a particularly special time to visit Puerto Vallarta as the city celebrates joyful memories of friends and family and we hope to be able to host your stay at Pinnacle Resorts, centrally located in the heart of the Romantic Zone within walking distance to all the cultural attractions of downtown Puerto Vallarta.

Mexican Independence Day

15 Sep

Many people mistakenly believe May 5th to be Mexican Independence Day, but in reality, the anniversary of the country separating from Spain is celebrated on September 16th and is a national holiday that is highly anticipated every year.

Mexico is a proud country and though this year there will not be large scale public celebrations, to support the good health and wellbeing of our community and visitors, Independence Day will be celebrated in homes and restaurants in Puerto Vallarta and across the country, and visitors will be able to feel and see the spirit of the occasion all around them during the month of September. Streets will be decorated with the red, white, and green colors of Mexico, flags will fly in honor of the occasion and local eateries will be serving special meals in celebration.

One of our suggested ways to celebrate is with dinner at Kaiser Maximillian, an upscale restaurant within easy walking distance from us, to enjoy the traditional Independence Day dish of Chiles en Nogada until October 10th.  Another excellent option is Gaby’s Restaurant, a traditional Mexican restaurant in downtown Vallarta, serving delicious and authentic Mexican dishes in a casual atmosphere. Or, if you would like to stay in and watch the sunset from the terrace of your suite, have Chiles en Nogada delivered in from caterer Claudia Lovera. Your concierge can assist you in placing an order for delivery via WhatsApp message to 322 128 0120 or with restaurant reservations.

Or stay in and visit any of the Pinnacle Resorts sky bars or lounges for Tequila, Margaritas, and other Mexican wines, spirits, beers, and cocktails during our famous nightly Happy Hour when all drinks are 2×1 and raise your glass with a hearty “Viva Mexico!” in celebration.
