Embrace Izzy's Midlife Adventure.

I would recommend one of two options:

Uber - Try to combine others traveling on your flights.

or

I will post a link from Vallarta Shores two weeks prior to arrival with a pre-arranged option for $40 roundtrip.  This is not a flexible option.  Usually involves other tourists not in our group and with multiple stops.  You can book directly with them.

Each suite at Vallarta Shores comes with a private chef that will provide you with two meals of your choosing (I would recommend a brunch and dinner).  This does not include the price of the groceries, alcohol or gratuities.  This cost can be split between suitemates.  They will do the grocery shopping for you depending on your requests.

Each night, we will try to pick a bar to check out.  There is plenty to do in the Zona Romantica.
