Mexican Paradise - Puerto Vallarta

I have been to Puerto Vallarta twice before this trip but both times were a short stop from a cruise ship. So I was very excited when I got the invitation to see and eXplore more of this Mexican Paradise.

One day we took a boat over to the beautiful and peaceful Xinalani Retreat. A great place to get away to practice Yoga or just relax in a hammock next to the ocean.
