The location on the beach is perfect because it is on the end of the street, and it is part of a lovely area called Amapas, which includes Conchas Chinas where all the beautiful old traditional Mexican villas are. It has true Mexican charm, not modernistic or sterile, but with modern amenities. The building is the most beautiful on Los Muertos Beach, the most popular beach in Old Town Vallarta. The museum cafe and store could have had more items on offer but even with all its shortcomings, I consider this museum well worth the money.We spend January through April every winter here and have loved it for almost 20 years! The staff are fabulous and have of course become friends over the years. Still, I loved the virtual theatre, ship models and the simplistic but functional warship navigation simulator featuring getting out of the Puerto Vallarta Marina (just north of the hotel). However, I found its narrative through naval history a bit confusing and lacking context regarding the many conflicts Mexico has had with European powers (not to mention the opaque mess that was the Mexican revolution). The museum is clean, manageable in size and nothing outright wrong with it. Spread across a few rooms in two floors, it starts with Navy values, skims through Pre-Hispanic seafaring in the New World (a pity, I would have liked to know more) and them proceeds through the history and events affecting the Mexican navy as we know it today.
This little place at the north end of Malencon is an official museum of the Mexican Navy and part of its public relations outreach.
