We love Puerto Vallarta. Find it very safe. January 2012 we ventured out of our all inclusive in Nuevo. Boarded a very old local bus and headed out to Punta de Mita. Long bus ride but felt very safe and at no time did we feel threatened. While in the port town of Punta de Mita, we wandered all around talking to locals. Watched a fish boat come in. I passed my camera to one of the mexican fishermen to take a picture for me of their catch of tunas. He did it with a smile. We stopped in at a beach restaurant for a drink, while there the owner came up to us to welcome us to her restaurant. Asked where we were from and then as we left, she said "thank you for trusting Mexico".

Last year we took our entire family to Puerto Vallarta (included 2 grandchildren). They also loved it. We went to the Malecon a couple of times and at no time did any of my family feel unsafe.
I would not go into the jungle mind you. Also you don't go out and get completely wasted and expect not to get into trouble. You would in any city.
