Of course there’s always the option of heading to a local internet café, of which PV has plenty. Almost all will, for the same price as using one of their computers, give you a wire to plug into your laptop and allow you to work away. But the atmosphere isn’t always the greatest and I’d rather spend my money on the coffee and just relax instead of being metered. You can always also go find a public place with a stray 802.11 wireless signal leaking from a local business or home. I have sat in Parque Lazaro Cardenas with my laptop, it doesn’t feel like the safest thing to do, especially with your head down in the computer.

The best solution of all of course is to find a nice café with a comfy sofa, good coffee and free wireless. And so I present a list of known reliable hotspots.

Zona Romantica

My favorite place for that is Dee’s Coffee Company. Ask for the wifi password with your order and you’re in business. 

Que Pasa Restaurant and Bar, 625 Aquiles Serdan 

I’ve also heard that there is a place El Sofa at 333 Venustiano Carranza that offers this but haven’t had a chance to check that.

Centro

Cafe Roma serves up wireless along with the pizza and beer.

Hotel Zone

Restaurant El Andariego, Av Mexico #1358 at San Salvador.

Other

Puerto Vallarta Airport apparently has a free wireless zone.
