Tips
>
Mazatlan is probably the most affordable of the large Mexican resort destinations. It has a less touristy feel than Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco or Cancun and most visitors are from western parts of Canada and the United States.
>
The main gay club, Pepe Toro, is only open Thursday to Sunday, so nightlife is limited.
>
Consider Mazatlan if you want to go somewhere other than Puerto Vallarta and find Cancun and the Mayan Riviera too pricey.
