Definitely expect to get hit up every ten seconds to buy something. We ended up not buying anything for souvenirs because we weren’t left alone long enough to look at anything. Talk about high pressure salesmen!

Restaurant called the Langosta Loca is pretty good. They have good drinks, prices for a bucket of beer and the food is good, but sit on the second floor, and the vendors don't bother you so you can eat in peace. If you've been to Vallarta before you know what I mean.
