Puerto Vallarta i believe has a travel warning issue for american tourist on the department of state's website. Not sure which you should select but i just wanted to throw that out there.

We went to Puerto Vallarta and enjoyed it. We stayed at the Secrets resort. We also did a couple off-resort excursions.
Pretty much the entire country of Mexico has travel warnings, but the one for Jalisco only mentioned outlying areas away from Puerto Vallarta. The actual town was fine.
I love Cabo!!! We went there last year. we are doing playa mujres (Cancun) for ours! Anywhere in Mexico is so much fun- you just have to be a responsible tourist (which you should be any where). Either place you will have a blast!! I would look at excursions you want to do and which place fits what you want to do more.
I would do Puerto Vallarta! I've lived in Cabo before and i found it quite easy to do all there is to do in pretty much 2 days. There are more activities and things to be experienced in Puerto Vallarta!
Cabo!!! I surprisingly enjoyed it more than I did Maui! Stayed at the RIU SANTA FE (not the RIU PALACE) and requested a suite that faced the ocean. The rooms are huge like an apartment. The all inclusive food was the best I’ve ever had, 10 times better than Vegas! And the nightly entertainment was AMAZING! Enjoyed every minute of it! Did some excursions, had the best time!!!
Oh no, NOT Cabo. It's smelly, and the all inclusive resorts have horrible food. Everything is so bland and boring. The town is small and everything you can see is doable in one or two days. If you plan on staying in your room or on the beach then you might be ok with it. The beaches are also the weird crushed seashell sand that hurt your feet. I highly recommend St. Thomas or one of the BVI...
