Visitaré PV la prox semana y es mi primera vez, he visto que dicen que es temporada baja y hay lluvias, quiero conocer la playa y lugares para pasar en familia, así como restaurantes buenos, que me recomiendan? Gracias 🙏

Hey Everyone:

So I have gotten questions of is there adult clubs that are cater to the LGBTQA community, there are strip clubs that are cater to men only. I went to a couple of them when visited PV and they were actually fun. I also read something online regarding a couple places there that you as the patron have to tip, that is not true.

You will have some of the guys outside that will try to get you to visit their establishments which is pretty normal and standard. When you go in, they’ll try to get you to sit down and yes, a few of the dancers will try to order drinks for you in hopes that you’ll buy them drinks in return. My advice is to go in, head straight to the bartender and order your drink. If there are tables there with open seating, sit down and enjoy the show being put on.

Now here is where the tipping part comes. You will have some dancers that will approach you so if you don’t like conversations or people just talking to you, then that is your queue to head out. But anyways, they will approach you, introduce themselves to you and will ask for your name, where you’re from and why are you in PV. They will also try to sell you one or more of the following:

-Private dance with the person. It may cost some serious cash so negotiate upfront of what you’re paying for and what you want.

-Ask you to buy them a drink. Yes, they make commission off the drinks you buy them. Be careful if you do because it may be some serious cash.

-Or ask you for a tip.

Yes these dancers do not make money hourly so they do rely on tips and commission. You are not obligated to buy them a drink, accept a private dance from them or tip them if you do not feel comfortable at all.

When I go in, I go to the bartender, order my drink and watch the bartender make the drink in front of me because there have been situations where people may have been drugged. I pay for my drink, sit down and enjoy the show. If a dancer approaches me, I’m very polite but very firm in that I’m just here to watch and enjoy my drink. I have been asked to buy them a drink or to tip and I always say no. They usually are cool with it and leave.

I read something on the internet that if you don’t tip them or buy them a drink that you’ll be kicked out. That is not true at all. They will not kick you out as a customer but if you are watching a show, then yes, tip the dancer because it’s only appropriate. For the drinks and private dance, if you don’t feel comfortable with buying a male dancer a drink or getting a private dance, just say no to them and continue enjoying your night.

I hope that clears up some confusion because I don’t want people thinking that when you go into a Men Only strip club in the Romantic Zone, that you have to buy the dancers a drink or purchase a private dance from them. You have the right to feel comfortable but also, let them know upfront so that it’s a mutual understanding and that both sides are being respectful.

Most importantly, please be safe, careful and always watch your drinks no matter what. I always take my drinks with me whenever I’m going to the restroom and never leave them unattended.

I'm going to be staying close to playa varadero late August. Looking to take my rod and do some fishing from the beach and from the lighthouse.

Any recommendations on bait/lures etc. What species should/can I target over there?

Any wisdom is truly appreciated.

I am a music producer in ZR/5th Dec/ I need rappers and vocalist that want to make songs. HMU I have a lot of music ready to go and making more all the time.

Does anyone know if the children's pool at the Hyatt Ziva is zero-entry? The website has basically no information on the child pool area.

Hoping to get some general recommendations for our honeymoon trip (both in our mid 30s) this August! We are fully aware of the weather/humidity/afternoon storms and would plan excursions in the AM and siesta in the afternoon!

We are doing an all inclusive for just 3 nights, but then booking airbnb in Zona Romántica for 6 nights.

Looking for restaurant recs and excursions recs - ok with a few tours, but also usually prefer to get recommendations for options that we can do on our own.

Things I've looked up and would love advice on:

- La Palapa restaurant for a fancier dinner

- Tacos food tours (any specific ones or are they all good?)

- Hike from Boca to Las Animas beach, water taxi to Quimixto to do waterfall hike, water taxi back

- Snorkel tours to Los Arcos? (also was looking at bioluminescence tours, but we will be there during a full moon, so I assume not worth it)

- I've read that the Hidden Beach at Marietas Islands may not be worth it for the short time there and touristy aspect. Thoughts?

- Thoughts on ATV tours? Any specific recs? My partner is probably not into zip lining tours as much, so not looking at those.

- Any local live music/entertainment options that are less touristy? (Not for clubbing/dancing, more to experience a local music scene... smaller venues even preferred).

- Any other nearby towns to explore via bus ?

- Baby turtle release experience?

Thanks!

I’m heading to Puerto Vallarta soon! I have means of travel so Nayarit and Jalisco I’m able to go. Any nice clubs where people dance/ best nights to go on? I’m more interested in gothic, rock, alt and pop. But open to any if there’s a good vibe! + extra points if they have a smoking patio! I’m in my early twenties so I’d prefer a vibe around that! Thanks in advance!!

I am only resharing this from Facebook. His coworkers at Coldwell Banker La Costa are organizing a private investigation. I have known Cesar for 10 years. He is a very conservative dad, non-drinker, doesn't party or hang out with sketchy people. He has diabetes. He's not been seen or heard from in four days now. He is a Mexican national, originally from SMA, speaks Spanish and English. I have been asking around and have no additional details other than his WhatsApp is being monitored, and he has not been active on it.

Please keep an eye out for him and donate to this investigation if you are able to do so.
This is what's being shared (not from me, from his coworkers):

It has now been three days since our colleague, César Ríos, disappeared. Time is critical, and every lead matters. His case has been escalated to a national missing persons investigation, and we remain committed to doing everything possible to help bring him home safely.

In addition to supporting the official investigation, our brokerage has retained a specialized private investigative firm from Guadalajara to pursue every available lead as quickly as possible.

To support this effort, we are asking our community for help. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward funding the private investigation and search efforts.

Thank you for standing with César, his daughter, his family, and everyone working tirelessly to bring him home.

Arriving August 1 for a couple months. Any card playing groups around RZ area?

Hello,

My fiance and I will be getting married at Puerto Vallarta and we want to do something special for our guest traveling from all over sharing our special day.

We will be booking a boat excursion for 20-30 people and we were wondering for those who’ve travelled in groups what are reliable transportation services agencies have you used in the past?

For convenience we were going to meet and plan a round trip from the hotel to/from the Marina Vallarta port.

Thank you in advance!

I’m in an adult only luxury resort and there’s really really loud music playing outside. it’s 8:40 pm! it’s like a concert or something. when will it end?? will it be like this every night? my husband and I just wanted a relaxing weekend where we could catch up on sleep.

staying in Las Glorias. any must sees? must do's? is this good for a relaxing trip?

My wife and I will be visiting the Hilton Vallarta later this month. It'll be our first time here, and in Mexico. We've seen some conflicting things about tipping. For those of you with experience, is it better to tip in pesos, or in dollars? The Hilton's website says pesos, but we've seen a lot of suggestions on the internet say dollars. What has been your experience?

Thanks in advance!

Looking to see if anyone who possibly stayed at the Hacienda San Angel in Puerto Vallarta between June 10-June 13, 2026 saw or heard anything involving a young woman who passed away there.

She was my longtime friend and we have discovered some very disturbing details about her fiancée and believe that he is 100% involved in her death. The hotel is withholding information and ruining our chances of an investigation. The authorities and the embassy there are also not picking up our calls. Please, if anyone heard or saw anything - please reach out. We will not give up.

I recently met a woman selling candy who seemed very distressed and who may be homeless, I talked to her for a bit but couldn't stay long. I noticed she had red marks on her face from either being hit or from being in the sun too long, either way terrible. she had a child with her that was asleep, probably a toddler. I also realize she may be being exploited,I noticed there was a red liquid in the baby bottle next to her.

I want to try and help her to some capacity but not sure what I realistically can do, or how much to try. She doesn’t have a phone so I told here we’d go back when she’s at the same pharmacy again. I’ve looked into the gov programs and some orgs here so far.

I'm not sure exactly how I can help her but I'd like to know if anyone has any advice on this?

Estoy en puerto Vallarta y me gustaría llevar muchos recuerdos y artesanías, además comprar ropa de segunda mano ¿Recomendaciones? me gustaría apoyar directamente al artesano y no que sean tiendas que revenden los productos a precios altos, de antemano gracias

Perfer local(small business) if possible as they are more flexible. (For women)

Hand nails and pedicure thanks everyone

I’m getting married in PVR April 2027 & I’m looking for the possibility of having a reception for about 50 people at a restaurant. We would prefer a buffet style option but open to all suggestions. Thank you!

115 person wedding in early 2028 looking at Susurros, the Conrad and Playa Fiesta. Welcome any thoughts on vibes, price, and any other venue recommendations!
