If you want a stately and serene getaway overlooking the pacific and Banderas Bay, then the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa is the place for you. Although not designated as a gay resort, the Marriott chain of hotels is known for its progressive philosophies, and this hotel is not spared from this treatment. In the gay heaven of Puerto Vallarta, the Marriot is the perfect destination for a wedding, vacation, and even honeymoon. These 433 roomed modern resorts have swanky restaurants, meeting rooms, and exquisite pools.
Set in a prestigious Marina Villa golf community, you can be sure this hotel has pulled out all the stops to earn its spot on this strip (see what I did there). From the grounds to the amenities, to the guest rooms, there is a touch of class in everything. Outside, which is probably where you will spend the bulk of your time, are lush gardens, sweeping ocean views with the infinity pool design highlighting the front area. The décor is also well thought out, merging both traditional Mexican and modern styles to create a very trendy design. Likewise, there is enough shade from the palm trees, and just to take it a notch higher, there are agave plants that are used to make house tequila—you should sample this.
At the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa, all rooms have balconies with beautiful flowers to provide a bit of shade. Each room has an ocean view of some sort. However, the best rooms in the house have direct views of the pool, beach, and the expanse of the ocean. Each room has a 42-inch HD TV, with a desk and electrical outlets to continue your workflow if need be. Further, the rooms have a stocked minibar, coffeemakers with 24 hours room service. However, you have to watch your consumption of fridge items since you will be charged for them. There are special rooms for people with disabilities on the ground floor. The hotel serves scrumptious a la carte food in its three main restaurants. The menu offers Mexican, different kinds of seafood, Japanese and snacks, and many other fine dining options.
You will love the laid back and serene vibe of the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa. Unlike its neighbor, The Westin, which can get a bit noisy, The Marriot appears to be the older, more cultured resort where people of taste come to relax. The hotel is conveniently located close to an airport, and around it is a thriving yachting culture, golf courses, and posh residential and commercial properties. The beaches here are not as prolific as you would find around Puerto Vallarta, but all these are paid in kind with the number of activities you can engage in when you are around. You will find lot’s of awesome people around who may share your spirit of adventure.
The immense Banderas Bay offers a whopping 25 miles of coastline with a tone of activities. Water sports are common with snorkeling, scuba diving to see Manta Rays, surfing, boating, parasailing—just think of your favorites, it’s probably here. You could also shop at the Rio Cuale Flea Market for your mementos or in one of the many markets (just bring your best bargaining language). When the sun goes down, the town doesn’t sleep – only its character changes. Downtown Puerta Vallarta is the place you want to be when this happens. Dance clubs and dance punctuate the night, and beers flow like a river.
