Puerto Vallarta's most luxurious gay hotel, Casa Cupula, recently announced that is is running a special for $98 rooms. Now a budget gay hotel in town has announced a deal.
If you book by May 20, the gay but "straight-friendly" Boana Torre Malibu Condo Hotel is discounting twenty-five percent off all rooms. That means you can get its cheapest room for under $25 and the most expensive room for around $75.
But there are some catches. The hotel warns of construction noise while they are renovating in May and June. But that noise will only be between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. They also require a 50% deposit to hold your reservation. The full amount is required for stays of four nights or less.
There have been no H1N1 (swine flu) cases in Puerto Vallarta. To date, there have been just 15 cases in the Mexican State of Jalisco. Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara are in Jalisco. Almost all the flu cases have been in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, about a four hour drive from Puerto Vallarta. Click here for my previous post on the flu in Jalisco.
Meanwhile, the bars and nightclubs reopened in Puerto Vallarta at midnight on Wednesday, May 6. Click here for my article on that.
Was the response to the flu a public health success story or fear mongering? click here, for my previous post that addresses that issue.
