Either one is probably fine. But, there's no real seecudld beaches downtown or in the Hotel Zone south of the marina. If you want seclusion, consider Nuevo Vallarta. It's about 10 miles north of the airport and it's really an outpost. There's only mega resorts there, and you have to take a taxi or bus to get anywhere, which can get expensive (and old). But, there are long expanses of seecudld beaches there (people mostly hang out at the resort pools).One of my favorite things to do is Puerto Vallarta is the city and country bus tour. It goes through downtown and down to the jungles inland from Puerto Vallarta. They let you off the bus every now and then to check things out. You end up at a tequileria, where you learn about the tequila distilling process and get unlimited free tasting.
