Yummy food/drinks
There’s literally nothing to dislike! The ambience is beyond cute with an outdoor patio, the coffee and pastries are AMAZING and don’t get me started on the cakes…just run there if you’re in PV!!
Pavlova Pastelería y Café
Best Al pastor tacos in PV! Hands down! I’ve tried a lot of other places in town and nothing compares. Everything is fresh, with tons of flavor (the sauces are sooo good!) and the service is also on point. Don’t miss a stop here!!
Pepes Taco
If you’re having a nice dinner on the beach in PV..this is my go-to!
My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary & first kid-free date night in years, and the service took it to the next level. We had a delicious giant plate of surf &...
El Dorado Restaurant & Beach Club
By far the best tequila I’ve had in PV!
We stopped in on a whim one day, ended up doing a tasting, and walked away feeling amazing after like 10 shots of the smoothest and infused tequilas I’ve ever tasted. Haven’t tried the food yet, but will absol...
Oscar's Distillery
Besttt pizza in PV! If you’re looking for that classic wood fired oven flavor with incredible sauce and quality of toppings…look no further! Great wine selection!
LA NOTTE PIZZERIA
Omg it doesn’t get much better than this place on a hot day in PV! 😅
Try the maracuya (passion fruit). I still crave it!! Tried a few other flavors and they were all truly incredible!
Buonissimo Gelato on Malecon
From the homemade lemonade, delicious pastas & pizzas (lasagna made with bechamel) 😋 great wines and cocktails! The location on the malecon is great for people watching with ocean views!
La Dolce Vita Malecon
The best pub vibe with ocean views! The breading on the chicken fingers was soo good and so are the smash burgers! Enjoy live music and good times ✌🏼
Murphy's Irish Pub
My family is Venezuelan so I grew up eating these. They did NOT disappoint!! Not only are they pretty massive size, but the flavors are insane! Especially the dipping sauce they bring out to table. If you’re in La Isla shopping, don’t miss a stop her...
Papelón con Limón Arepas Venezolanas
Absolutely love the vibe here! It’s basically an outdoor food court with a bar & covered playground, so kids can play while parents eat/drink while watching them. It’s genius! There’s tv and string lights for ambience, and tons of food options es...
Food Park PV Gastro Bar
I’ve yet to taste a better burger in this town! The place is bright/colorful, and has a great menu. I love the hand cut fries with dipping sauces, and paletas for dessert!
Burger Station fulfills all your burger needs 🤤

My daughter loves this park! It has tons of little wooden play structures so kids can run from one to the next, and a hill for climbing with swings & slide on it. Love it even at night when the string lights are all lit up!
The cutest playground for little ones. TUKILANDIA
Definitely my favorite beach I’ve ever been to anywhere! There’s just something about the sense of peace and calm this places brings even on a busier day. There’s tides pools are incredible! My 4 yr old daughter is afraid of ocean waves so she prefer...
