Sorry for the delayed response - just got back from there. Best dining. Casual would be Mario Canario and Patiti del Mar near you. Fine dining I would recommend Origen, Zibu, Becco al Mar without hesitation. There are many many other midrange restaurants of all stripes. Nightlife there are plenty of bars, and the big clubs are Palladium, BLV and Baby O. As a side note, I ate at the Princess's new restaurant, Pitiona and it was not worth it. Way loud, bad service and the food was ok - besides well presented, nothing special.

Attractions are the same as ever. Beaches, watersport, the Xtsea zip line, then the cliff divers, capilla de la paz, the zocalo, etc. If you can, get out to barra vieja for pescado ala talla.

As for investment, I would concur with what others are saying. Residential property/income property is pretty straight forward. Commercial development is a whole different kettle of fish. Also keep in mind your investment needs to outperform dollar strength. This year was fine, but the peso has a long history of slides, eating up a lot of peso denominated appreciation. If you are looking towards income property, I would say Cancun/Puerto Vallarta/Los Cabos - where given the high influx of NOTB visitors, both income and selling property can be done in Dollars. I would consider those areas overvalued from a cost perspective.
