It’s like a porn star convention here in PV.  Must be a lot of collabbing going on!

PV has become a destination for foreign providers (non-Mexican) catering to visiting tourists.  Most of the those visiting providers bring their home country rates with them - and it tends to influence the overall rates in PV, meaning rates are higher than you would expect.  In that situation, I’d go for the locals.  All depends on want you want tho - if there is a visiting American provider that you can’t resist, be ready to pay US rates.

On the flip side, I did manage to find one European escort visiting Puerto Vallarta.  I offered to meet him at the local rate, and had a fantastic session with him.  He did give me a discount for paying in US dollars instead of Pesos (I was going to pay him in Pesos by default, but he asked for a lower amount in US Dollars so it would be easier to take back to Europe with him).  So, beware of what @SouthOfTheBorder says because it is true that there are many American and Canadian escorts who travel to Puerto Vallarta and advertise high US rates.  But you can sometimes strike gold by offering local rates to those who are visiting Puerto Vallarta for the season.

the average one-hour European rate is 150euros, give or take 50 in some circumstances.  The US one hour rate is more like $300, give or take 50.  I’d pay equivalent of 150euros in PV - I wouldn’t pay $300.  Obviously an individual choice tho.

PV ain't the deal it used to be.  Same for CDMX.

Mexicans are raising their rates to match the massive influx of American escorts who vacation/work there on the constant.

A little off topic, but...

I've been going to PV for years.  This last trip was the first time I was disappointed in the whole PV experience.  The town has changed a lot and in my opinion for the worse.  I guess I am getting old and am looking for different travel experiences.  

But I am glad to know that people can go for their first time and have a great visit.

agree - it’s basically a circuit party now w overpriced everything by Mexican standards.  It’s still beautiful during winter, but full of everything I generally want to get away from.

I would agree.  MX isn't stupid...  They know who's coming and who's spending money.  

Like Cancun and Cabo before it, it's becoming less authentic Mexico.  The gueros don't seem to know or care, by the looks of it.

It's why I tend to stick to CDMX, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Merida, Guanajuato, Oaxaca and Puebla.  

When I leave the States, I want feel like I've left the States.

Do NOT hire hustlers on the beach/streets

very good advice.  I did that once many years ago - the guy staked-out my condo for days.  I couldn’t shake him & it definitely got weird.  Being followed in MX isn’t exactly relaxing.

Im going to PV next month. Had a reservation at Mercurio, but! oh well. Trying to find something else now, but cant decide where to stay. Basically its a sexcation so might stay close to bars/clubs. Blue chairs looks bad, but location looks nice. Recommendations? Doesnt have to be clothing optional, but want a nice pool/not far from beach/adults only/potential hookups at the hotel/close to bars and clubs.

Oh no!  Thanks for your post, or I would not have known Hotel Mercurio suddenly closed.  I have/had reservations for this winter.  I'll need to try to get this squared away with my credit card company.

I’d stay at Casa Cupula. You can meet the best go go boys who work the pool parties (introduce yourself to Lalo the promoter). The hotel is away from the bars but they’ll drive you to the clubs and you can just Uber back easily. There’s no qualms about bringing guys home and it’s a nice property with kind gay employees. The owner was nice too, he gave me all kinds of helpful tips for having fun in PV!

I was in PV last year. I made the mistake of trying to bring an escort (US$75 an hour) to the All-Inclusive where I was staying. After I paid for his day rate, everything went well, but there was an awkward moment during registration when he had to give his personal information.

He stayed for another two hours and hung out with me off the clock. We had a meal together at one of the AI’s restaurants and a couple of drinks at the beachside bar.

50$ an hour! Mexicans would fuck anything for small cash!

Any other advice for provider-friendly hotels in or near the Romantic Zone?

Browsing airbnb, many of the listings mention strict policies forbidding guests. Ironically I thought booking an apt or condo would be more discreet and private, but the security at these residential buildings is quite the opposite.

[Dr.Daddy]

Ive never done the airbnb thing for that exact reason - I wanna have guests! I prefer casa cupula, now whenever I go back it’s like i’m staying next door to friends. The staff doesn’t care if I bring guys over, they will ask me if I want them to check their ID as a security measure. That has been helpful sometimes, and in some cases I skip that layer of protection.

How nice of a hotel are you looking at? You can get an apartment at Tropicus for ~$50 a night and it is literally a few steps from the strip clubs. It is literally in the center of Zona Romantica, so bring earplugs. It's great if all you're using it for is access to the strip clubs or for bringing a masseuse back to your place. But it is very much a two-star hotel and it shows. It's very safe though.

Hi, CHlberia. I've browsed from $30 - $200/night. I want whatever is best to host and be close to the action, bars/clubs. Niceness is definitely secondary, but I also don't want a dump that a guest would think twice about entering 😆

Am I being too paranoid about having the front desk see me with a different guy each day? I mean who cares right?

As you can tell I'm new to this.

Sounds like Tropicus could be an option. Front desk really doesn't care. Late hours will have the doors locked and you need to show your key or declare your room number, and that's about it. No one is registering ID's or anything. It's literally in the middle of all the action. I'd say it is comparable to Mercurio in terms of quality. It's not a roach motel by any means. Personally I've mostly gone for nicer places that may be a little further away and will register guests, so this is the only place I know of that fits your bill
