Manners Matter in Puerto Vallarta

How many times have you earned a smack on the back of the head for doing something that was less than suave and sophisticated? Good manners matter, no matter where you are, and that’s an important fact to keep in mind as you take off for your Mexico vacation. The folks you meet, starting with the staff in most vacation rentals in Puerto Vallarta, will appreciate your efforts to handle every-day encounters with grace and courtesy.
As you make your way around town, you’ll be glad you managed to pick up bits and pieces of good manners from your parents, friends and acquaintances. You may be a bit challenged at first, however, when you discover that acceptable behaviors are not universal. It’s unusual for vacation rentals in Puerto Vallarta to provide a list of “best behavior practices,” so you’ll need to watch and learn.
A few tips up front may help. For instance, it’s wise to mind your posture – don’t slump or park your hands on your hips, and don’t force eye contact. Address the local people you meet as Señor, Señora, or Señorita (Sir, Ma’am and Miss). Be generous when leaving a tip – wages in this part of the world aren’t the best. And remember to say “please” (por favor) and “thank you” (gracias).
