Mexico is bounded by the Caribbean Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Gulf of Mexico which is why its tourist industry is centered around the beach resorts. More and more resorts in and around the country have been gaining popularity to tourists which makes Mexico one of the most beautiful vacation spots in the world. The boost in tourism has also resulted in the booming industry of rentals in Mexico. Nowadays, there are actually thousands of villas and vacation rentals that can be found in Mexico. With those villas and vacation rentals, you can't only have room for your much-needed vacation but the whole house. Also, through rentals, you need not limit yourself when it comes to accommodation and of course, you can have a bigger place for a very affordable price.
Here are a few of the most famous tourist spots in Mexico and where to stay.

Puerto Vallarta, once named La ciudad más amigable del mundo or The Friendliest City in the World, presents numerous sidewalk touts selling time-shares and tequila which render the city's atmosphere more akin to tourist-heavy resorts like Cancun and Acapulco.

Puerto Vallarta is a highly popular vacation spot for domestic tourists. It is a popular weekend destination for residents of Guadalajara and a popular national destination for vacations such as Semana Santa or Holy Week and Christmas.
When Puerto Vallarta has become a popular retirement destination for US and Canadian retirees, a condominium development boom in the city has spawned.
Rapid growth in tourist volume in Puerto Vallarta has given rise to rapid growth in hotel and rental apartment construction. The area is one of the fastest-growing regions in the Americas.
The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of Puerto Vallarta's famous destinations and iconic landmarks. It was called "one of the most endearing" of the city's landmarks. Its foundation was said to have started in the early 1900s and it took more or less 50 years for the church to be finished including the "crown." This beautiful cathedral featuring its trademark crown of angels, is open daily, with services in English available on Saturdays and mass in both Spanish and English on Sundays.
Another tourist spot in Puerto Vallarta is the Galleria Dante. It is an art gallery where the newest in classical and contemporary sculptures of many talented artists can be viewed.

Los Cabos
Los Cabos is a municipality located at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula. The area was remote and rural until the latter 20th century when the Mexican government began to develop Cabo San Lucas for tourism. The main draw is the climate and geography, where the desert meets the sea, along with sport fishing, resorts, and golf. This tourism is by far the main economic activity with over two million visitors per year.
The municipality of Los Cabos is smaller than the other city but because of federal and private investments in tourism, its growth is now rivaling that of the more famous resort area.
This growth has been regulated to the outside of the town center, leaving the historic town center quiet and relatively unchanged. There are still cobblestone streets, adobe houses, jacaranda trees, and a central square in front of a church that dates from the 1700s, where people still gather in the evening when it is cooler. A number of the large houses in the center date from the 19th century and most of these have been converted into restaurants, art galleries and shops selling everything from fine handcrafts, silver, local gemstones, and souvenirs. The art scene in the town is well-developed because of tourism and people with vacation homes.
The tourist area of the town is the area between the town proper and the shoreline featuring a nine-hole golf course and a line of hotels and resorts facing the ocean, which served over 900,000 hotel guests in 2011.
One of Los Cabos famous landmarks is El Faro Viejo. This Old Lighthouse was constructed more than 100 years ago. Today, little more than the actual base of the lighthouse remains, offering just a glimpse of what once stood here. Many tourists come here for the outstanding coastal views alone and also to visit the adjacent beach, where sea turtles are known to nest during their breeding season.
