Act2PV Theater
Theater company
😠 We heard the production ot Schartt$ Creek in ptown sold out and was worth seeing in PV. I've seen the series at least 5 times and was excited to see this show. Some lines were funny but it became boring. The acting was awful and didn't get any better. People walked out and we did too after about 45...

Rakata Puerto Vallarta
Night club
🫤 Security everywhere and somehow my phone got stolen right before they closed up shop. Hmm, I wonder if the security was who stole it? Management pretended they would help but never sent the video footage they promised, probably because their own staff was involved.
Edit: classy response from the ow...

👍👍 Ambiance was very pleasing. The mood lighting and live performance of the piano was such a perfect combination of pure luxury. They get very busy and place gets very full fast, so you better hurry up and get here before 10 PM. They have a drink on their menu similar to an espresso martini, and it wa...

Located on the roof there is a nice breeze which made it comfortableto hang out and have a drink. They...
