Puerto Vallarta Vacation Rentals and Hotels

Puerto Vallarta Restaurants & Bars

Abbey Hotel
The Abbey is the largest and one of the nicest gay hotels in Puerto Vallarta with a great location close to the gay beach and Olas Altas. Abbey Hotel guests are VIP members at Club Mañana for the entire length of their stay. That means free or discounted admission all the time! Gay-owned and operated and highly recommended.
Adagio Vacation Studios
Charming new apartments off the beaten path but close to everything, overlooking the Rio Cuale. Gay-owned and operated.
Andales on the Bay
Luxury rentals on Olas Altas. Very gay-friendly.
Arco Iris
"The best gay and lesbian bed and breakfast in Puerto Vallarta"; located in Conchas Chinas.
Blue Chairs Resort by the Sea
No longer gay-owned or operated but no hotel is more handy to the gay beach. The rooftop is open to the public and crowded at sunset.
Blue Seas Resort and Spa
New beachfront hotel with a gay beach with popularity rivaling Blue and Green Chairs. Blue Seas is another fine option for gay living and vacationing in Puerto Vallarta.
Boana Torre Malibu
Comfortable and hospitable, with excellent hosts Denis and Benois. Highly recommended. Gay-owned and operated.
Brisas Amables
Nice private condos in Brisas del Mar.
Brisas del Mar
Hotel and condo rentals, pretty nice, great location, highly recommended.
Casa Cupula
Casa Cupula is a very nice boutique hotel quietly off the beaten path but still close to all the action. Gay-owned and operated and highly recommended.
Casa Hortencias & Casa de La Esperanza
Casas del Mar
Hotel Mercurio
Don't be fooled by its website or the plethora of phony reviews on Trip Advisor that make Hotel Mercurio seem like a gay Four Seasons because it's really like a gay Motel 6 if Motel 6 didn't put doors on their bathrooms or wash their bedding. Avoid at all costs.
Lemon Tree Condos
Neptune Realtors
Good selection of vacation condo rentals.
San Franciscan Resort & Gym
A smart small boutique hotel in the heart of gay Vallarta that's not specifically gay but mostly so. It has a great location and reasonable rates.
Timothy, Fuller & Associates
Tropicasa Realty Gay-owned and operated.
Vallarta Cora
Check out the pool action whether you stay here or not! Nice rooms, clean and spacious, great location, lots of gay action. Gay-owned and operated.
Villa David Gay-owned and operated. Beautiful and luxurious.
Vallarta Shores
Not gay owned or operated but very gay-friendly and gay-convenient. Vallarta Shores is an excellent choice for a nice condo rental, and a few steps from the gay beach.

Miscellaneous

Los Amigos
Los Amigos is one of the oldest and most infamous gay bars in Puerto Vallarta. Lots of very friendly locals here and some of the lowest drink prices too. Gay owned and operated.
Apaches
Apaches is restaurant and martini bar owned by a wonderful lesbian couple located on the Olas Altas sidewalk and is almost always very crowded. Apaches is also the oldest gay business in Puerto Vallarta, for good reason.
Back Alley Bistro
The most wonderful steaks, among other things.
The Cheeky Monkey
Gay-friendly bar and restaurant on the Malecon with good drinks and food, friendly staff, and great views of the ocean, sunset, fireworks, and the people below.
The Coffee Cup
Cute gay-owned and operated coffee shop located off Olas Altas and sure to be on your way to or from just about anywhere. We love The Coffee Cup. Gay owned and operated.
Club Mañana on Facebook
Club Mañana on MySpace
Club Mañana on Zummin
Coco Tropical
Dining on the beach, very nice menu and staff with (we think) the best shrimp cocktail in town.
Daiquiri Dick's
Dine on the beach with an adventurous but reasonably priced menu of outstanding food and excellent service. Daiquiri Dick's is consistently first-rate.
The Deli
A full service bakery and deli run right across the street from Club Mañana by our friends at Daiquiri Dick's. Excellent for lunch or a take-home dinner.
Diva's
Friendly neighborhood bar with a large local following and a great staff and management, not to mention the lowest drink prices in town. It has replaced Frida as the "friendly local gay cantina" in town. Be sure to visit. Gay owned and operated.
El Arrayán
El Arrayán is an incredible Mexican restaurant that's a Vallarta fixture. Enjoy high Mexican cuisine featuring various dishes from all over the country. Highly recommended. Gay owned and operated.
Encuentros Pizza Bar & Lounge
Wonderful food and atmosphere right around the corner from Club Mañana.
Garbo
Upscale piano-y kinda bar with a large local and international following. It's a great place to start your evening, or finish up after dinner. Gay owned and operated.
La Noche
One of the most popular martini bars in town (along with Apaches), La Noche has a distinctive, laid back atmosphere charged with sexual energy. La Noche is usually crowded every night. Gay owned and operated.
La Piazzetta
Le Bistro
Great menu and jazz music, very highly recommended. Gay owned and operated.
Picnic
Tasty burgers await you at Picnic, on Olas Altas. It's only open for lunch and an early dinner so be sure to plan it into your day. Great for people-watching on gay Olas Altas too. Gay owned and operated.
Pie in the Sky
Pie in the Sky has been named "Best Bakery" for five straight years in the Virtual Vallarta Reader's Poll. The pies are pretty incredible, we have to say, and the cafe is very nice. The coffee is good, the pastries are delicious, the wireless is free and the location is handy. Located on Lazaro Cardenas between Calle I. Vallarta and the Park. There's another location in Bucerias too.
Plasma Video Bar
We love Plasma; it reminds us of a gay bar from the 70's (in a very good way). Has a dark room and shows videos. Check it out. Terrific staff and management. Gay owned and operated.
Polo's Restaurant-Bar
Polo's specializes in fish and seafood and does a wonderful job at it. Nothing fancy, it serves excellent food at reasonable prices and gets pretty crowded at times. It's one of those "finds" you live for. Right next to Diva's Bar on Fco. I. Madero.
Stereo
Stereo is a cute, fun, European-style pocket disco very popular with both locals and visitors. Owner and host Edgar "Harry Potter" Sanchez is always on hand and presents some of the most interesting entertainers in Puerto Vallarta. Gay owned and operated.
Teatro Limon
The latest restaurant from Bruce (of Bruce's Back Alley fame), located in the hills east of the Marina. The kitchen's in full view and everyone receives intensely personal service and an incredibly delicious meal. Not to be missed.
Trattoria Michel
Fabulous new restaurant on Olas Altas created by Swiss chef and restaurateur Michel Pascal Ferrari. Delightful menu and location; the food is excellent. Highly recommended. Gay owned and operated.
Xocodiva
Hand crafted artisan Chocolates to die for. Seriously. Nirvana awaits you. On Rodolfo Gomez in the San Marino Hotel. Gay owned and operated.

When you're in Puerto Vallarta and not at Club Mañana, we highly recommend visiting the bars above for a variety of reasons - the largest of which is we think you'll have a great time at any of them. In addition, you will thoroughly enjoy all of the recommended restaurants. Please don't mistake our recommendations for a comprehensive list. There are so many wonderful restaurants in Puerto Vallarta that this list only scratches the surface. Honestly, we don't have the time nor the capacity to visit and review all of the restaurants in town, but here are a few additional standouts: Casa Naranjo, Trio, Kaiser Maximilian, Barrio Sur, Cilantro's, Vitea, Espresso, and Barcelona. Plus, don't forget Club Mañana has some really great food too! Enjoy!
