Puerto Vallarta may well be Mexico's best beach city: a beach-meets-Mexican-mountains town that will have a lot of what you want for 2012 -- friendly folks, awesome nightlife, beautiful beaches, great all-inclusive hotel deals -- and all the action's not just at the beach, either: parasail or mountain bike, for instance.

Spring break promoters have worked hard to make spring break in Puerto Vallarta exceed American students' expectations, and be exceedingly comfortable to boot: for instance, the police have a custom of driving around with lights flashing so that should a civilian need the police, the police are easily found. To American students, though, constantly cruising cops with lights flashing can signify serious trouble potential; the police have accordingly cut back on this custom during spring break. Interesting, huh?

Enjoy this lovely, lively, friendly place, and let others know what you thought of spring break in Puerto Vallarta if you've been there, done that:
