Excellent information, @Minneapolis and @Vegas_Millennial. I’ve never been to PVR before and am spending the week here. I found your posts very helpful and wanted to pay it forward.
Timing: Make sure to include Friday and Saturday on your trip. My trip was from Sunday to the next Saturday, which was a mistake. The more flavorful activities are mostly on those days, including naked beach cruises, burlesque cabaret shows etc.
ATM: Some ATMs on the streets only have U.S. dollars. Avoid those.
Cellular: AT&T roams on AT&T MX here at 4G speed. So I bought a Telcel SIM card at Oxxo to complement that. The clerk doesn’t understand “SIM card”; they call it “telcel chip”. Make sure to purchase a data plan, otherwise the balance gets depleted rather quickly. I got the Amigo Sin Limite plan. Neither AT&T MX nor Telcel worked great for me on busy streets.
Massage: The take-your-chance massage parlors are mostly on or next to Basilio Badillo. I don’t know what the street name means in Spanish but I call it the “baddies” street for my extracurricular activities.
Strip Club: Wet Dream has best interior but I like the guys at 69 better. However, there seem to be more frequent customers at 69. The guys know them well and might ignore you. I had to approach with a guy with tip to get conversation going. I checked out B-Mine (previously “Pervert” lol) at 10 PM, and that’s way too early. The guys all gathered together having supper, lol. No one there is my type so I left. They have a glass shower stand on top of the staircase, and you can look up. I thought that was cute and might check out the place again.
