The most well-known address for gay travelers is the Almar Resort, an LGBT-oriented property right on Los Muertos Beach. The resort includes a rooftop infinity pool, a sky bar with views over the city and sea, and direct access to the attached Mantamar Beach Club, known for its beach and pool parties on weekends. This makes the Almar one of the few properties in Mexico to offer a beach resort tailored to the community throughout.
In addition to the Almar, there are numerous smaller gay-friendly hotels, boutique accommodations and apartments in the Zona Romántica, many of which are just minutes away from the beach and nightlife.
