I will be traveling to Puerto Vallarta and want recommendations for good spas (massage, facials, mani/pedi).

I am sure they have a spa at the hotel or any hotels of that caliber do. I know the Fiesta Americana has someone that does massages under a palapa on the beach. I stayed there and had a massage it was wonderful. If you're interested her name was Susan.

Venus, a spa right in the downtown. Half the price of what you will spend in the hotels, and absolutely lovely. I went there three times last year while I was in PV. They even have a rooftop hut where they do massages. Do a google search. I believe they have a website. There is also another spa that you must take a cab too (unfortunately, I forgot the name). It's about an 8 minute cab ride up in the mountains. The areas where you receive massages are basically built into the side of the mountain. Very lovely, however, more expensive than Venus but worth a one time experience.

I just remembered the name of the spa in the mountains. It's called Terra Noble. They also have a website.

heard about Terre Noble had forgotten the name go to their web site I read a lot about this place always forget about it Am going to try it myself. Good Luck

Great tip on Venus spa, thanks Dori. Haven't been to PV in several years and had not heard about it.

You can also find manicure and pedicure at all the local beauty salons around town.
