My husband and I will be returning to PV in November for our 1st wedding anniversary. We love food, so I want to plan a special, private dinner for the two of us. We are staying at a villa on the beach (south of Old Vallarta), but the owner has been all but helpful in helping me arrange something. I've looked at LeCliff and Chez Elena, but I guess I'm hoping for something REALLY private and special (but without spending a small fortune). I've thought of hiring a chef, but don't know where we could hold the dinner (I would love it to be on the beach). Can anyone help me? Any suggestions on someone to talk to? Any help or direction would be SO GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!

You might contact Gloria Whiting at Los Cuatro Vientos/Chez Elena about setting you up a table on the El Nido for a romantic dinner alone as that roof top bar closes early so you would have it all alone with that incredible view.
I might also suggest you contact Lola Bravo with the Red Cabbage Café about possibly a dinner in her small annex room or even better hiring her chief at your villa. She's a romantic at heart & may have answer for you. Email www.redcabbagecafe.com/ Phone 3-04-11

La Palapa offers a "Romantic Dinner" on the beach, not real cheap, but really romantic.

Happy Anniversary !! I too am going in November again. I have two special places I love LaPalapa right on the beach they can arrange a private dinner for the 2 of you. Or try Vista Grille which is located on top of a high hill overlooking P.V. They have a little table just for 2 of you which is private very romantic. They are pricey but well worth it.

Ditto all of the above except for Le Kliff.
