Best Times to Visit Nuevo Vallarta
The best time to visit Nuevo Vallarta is between April and June when the weather is pleasant and the room rates are affordable. During these months, rain is scarce and there are fewer tourists compared to the winter high season. If you're interested in whale watching, however, visit from December to March. The Grand Luxxe Residence Club has discounts on whale watching and other activities throughout the year.

I've traveled a lot to the Cancun area as well as Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta and love the areas. When traveling outside of a resort, I've found it's useful to know a few words of the native language. After all we are in their country and it seems like common courtesy to try to speak a few words to them. It would probably be a good idea to do for any foreign country.
