Part of the Gay Puerto Vallarta Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
Puerto Vallarta's top live entertainment venue, now in its 26th season
The Palm bills itself as Puerto Vallarta's longest-running cabaret, and its 26 seasons make the claim hard to argue. It sits on Olas Altas in the Zona Romántica about a block from the Los Muertos pier, and opened in 1999 as a café-bar where visiting performers would jam before growing into the city's flagship cabaret. The air-conditioned showroom seats around 90 in plush salon-style chairs, intimate enough that there's no bad seat, and most nights bring two shows, typically at 7 and 9:30, with a two-drink minimum per show. The lineup rotates through drag, celebrity tributes, vocalists, and comedy, drawing names like Coco Peru, Mama Tits, Kim Kuzma, Miss Conception, and Well-Strung across a season. It runs as a seasonal house, full programming through the winter high season with a summer break before the new slate kicks off in the fall, so check what's on when you're in town. For travelers who want polished live entertainment rather than a bar or club, it's the anchor of the Zona Romántica's performance scene.

Puerto Vallarta's gay resorts sit within a few blocks of each other in the Zona Romántica and on the Amapas hillside above it. Here is what each property's own site says about who it is for, which pools are clothing-optional, what a night costs, and which ones sell day passes, from Almar's beach club to the seven-room men-only Piñata PV.
