Gay hotels riviera maya

Our Riviera Maya gay reference sets out the foremost gay hotels to rest in, our favorite lgbtq+ hangouts, where to meal, what to do, and more.

We once thought of this place as our little secret. Never too crowded, never too raucous. Always pleasant and peaceful.

Luckily, even as more and more people find it, Riviera Maya is still holding onto that soft charm that made us fall in affectionate in the first place. 

The gay scene may be tamer than Cancun, but its presence is still felt, especially in Playa del Carmen. If you go at the right time of year you’ll find colorful gay parties, in particular, the Mayan Xcapade on Labor Sunlight Weekend in early September.

Beyond the gay nightlife, the beaches of the Riviera Maya are simply holy – one of the many reasons why we were drawn here initially. The white sands, still blue waters, and gorgeous Caribbean weather are indescribably wonderful – you dependency to experience it to truly appreciate the magic of it. 

The Riviera Maya is also popular with history and nature enthusiasts. There are tons of ancient ruin sites and Maya

No longer the sleepy town tourists went to when they wanted to run away the crowds and parties of Cancún, Playa del Carmen (or just "Playa") has become a major destination itself and is the heart of the "Riviera Maya" the stretch of incredible beaches that goes south from Cancún to Tulum. Playa del Carmen makes a fine base for exploring the area with its main location, the ferry to Cozumel and a fleeting drives to nearby cenotes, Puerto Morelos, Akumal and Tulum.

In Playa itself, there are more options than ever for nightlife and lots of places to stay including a miniature exclusively gay property Lote4 and lots of homosexual friendly options.

Playa del Carmen is also well established for music festivals, many of which have a enthusiastic LGBT following. The annual Playa Pride celebration in June and Lgbtq+ Film Fest in November are also big draws.
