The beaches here are far nicer than those in Puerto Vallarta; however, there are no gay beaches.
Nightlife
The closest gay bars and clubs are in Puerto Vallarta, about 30 minutes away by taxi.
Best For
Those who want to stay at an excellent resort on good beaches and don't mind a long taxi drive into Puerto Vallarta to sample the gay scene there.
Tips
>
A water taxi operates during the day between the marina near the Paradise Village and the pier near the San Marino (and the gay beach) in Puerto Vallarta. This is the quickest way to get into Vallarta.
>
Most of the resorts here are pretty expensive; however, if you're looking for a deal try the Decamron Los Cocos.
Recommended Hotels & Resorts
>
Vallarta Palace: A luxury resort that is used by Atlantis for their all-gay Puerto Vallarta weeks each fall.
>
Dreams Villamagna Nuevo Vallarta: A top notch beachfront location.
>
RIU Jalisco, RIU Palace Pacifico and RIU Vallarta: A modest hotel where it's all about the location and the views. Avoid the economy rooms.
