Puerto Vallarta Hotel recs

[VersOral]

I just got back from a trip to Puerto Vallarta a few weeks ago and had a great time. The only hiccup I had was my hotel didn't allow me to bring up guests without paying extra. Stayed at the Blue Chairs, and I get why hotels would have this policy, but it did create a bit of a hassle when arranging hookups for even other visitors. Anyone have suggestions for a Zona Romantica hotel, preferably beachfront gay friendly that is more relaxed in allowing guests?

When you make your reservation, do you specify the number of people?  I always specify 2 people (couple) and yes, that means I pay the tax for two people (was $3 per person, per night last time).  That has helped my avoid issues in the past.

We're here now and having a great time. We're staying at Rivera Del Rio, which is not near the beach, but no issues with visitors.

I don't recall if I had booked for 2, however, this hotel told me I needed ID for everyone staying in the room, and it was an additional 1000 pesos After my first night, I met a guy from the apps, and he was stopped in the lobby. I came down to bring him up and they wanted his ID, signature on the reservation etc. He was staying at a condo a block away so we went back to his place in the end cause it was simpler (he also didn't bring his ID with). It really seemed more so to prevent hustlers etc. from getting into the hotel, but at the same time it did seem extreme.

I made my way over that way once on my last visit. Definitely hoping to stay at the beach again next visit, will keep it in mind though.
