Puerto Vallarta has transformed itself from a sleepy seaside village into a major resort town that maintains the look of Old Mexico.

Along its cobblestone streets, white-stucco buildings — with red roofs and bright flowers spilling from balconies — overlook golden Pacific Coast beaches and blue-green waves.

And when the sun goes down, the town's nightlife heats way up.
