Steven Retchless Channels Britney Spears at Coco Cabaret

Steven Retchless presents “The Woman in Me” — a tribute like no other to the legendary Miss Britney Spears,  at the brand new Coco Cabaret by The Palm venue!

Inspired by  Britney Spears  #1 best-selling memoir, this show goes beyond iconic performances to tell the story of her triumphs, struggles, and undeniable resilience. With themes of autonomy, freedom, and survival woven throughout, Steven brings his diverse talents to the stage with explosive choreography, including strip tease, pole work, chair dance, multimedia elements, and stunning costume changes.

It is really something  to see! Extremely entertaining and visually pleasing! Every show Steven launches he raises  the bar, and  this new show, WOW, it’s going to be hard to top!

Theatre writer Scott Harrah  from NYC StageZine.com  said , “Went to see #StevenRetchless in #TheWomanInMe at the new @cococabaretpv in #PuertoVallarta with my friend Michael Snell and his friend and my friend Frank from Montreal last night. I’m not normally not much of a Britney Spears fan, but Mr. Retchless and his team of outstanding dancers were both energetic and entertaining. Inventive indeed. Using multimedia projections to tell the story of Britney and her many career ups and downs, the show features many of Britney’s biggest hits with incredible choreography, lighting and sound. If you’re down in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico this winter, don’t miss this show.” – I did see Scott singing along at some points in the show!

Puerto Vallarta Gay Pride Week May 2024

LGBTQ+ Tourism Makes Up 40% of Vallarta’s Tourism GDP

Puerto Vallarta has always been a welcoming haven for LGBTQ+ travelers. Now, the undeniable impact of this community on the city’s finances is finally clear.

In 2023, a record-breaking 2 million LGBTQ+ tourists visited Puerto Vallarta, according to data released by the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Trust. This influx injected a whopping $17 billion pesos into the local economy.

Vallarta Pride stands as the most significant LGBT+ pride celebration on a beach in North America,” explained Raúl Alfaro Segovia, managing partner of RPA, the public relations firm managing the event. “Furthermore, Puerto Vallarta holds membership in the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), solidifying its commitment to this vital market.”

The upcoming Vallarta Pride boasts a diverse schedule, including:

  • A flag raising ceremony and recognition of Kenya Cuevas as LGBT+ Activist of the Year (May 23rd, Lázaro Cárdenas Park).
  • A retrospective fashion show by Mexican designer Armando Mafud (May 21st, Industry Club, Zona Romántica).
  • The “Pride Sun Festival,” a social and commercial event running from May 23rd to 25th at Lázaro Cárdenas Park.
  • The “Rainbow Pride” race, a 3km and 6km run along the Malecón (May 25th).
  • The official pride parade, led by activist Kenya Cuevas, featuring over 55 floats (May 25th).
  • The “Pride Beach Party” for community connection and celebration (May 25th, Olas Altas Beach).
  • An art auction benefiting the Arte Vallarta Museo association (May 26th, Púlpito Street).

GREAT Hamburgers at Hamburgo PV in Versailles

I am  always on a hunt for a GREAT BURGER!  And  so far,  this  place is the BEST that we have found, in Puerto Vallarta!

HAMBURGO PV is located in the Versalles neighborhood. (Versalles actually has a growing number of restaurants’ that are super delicious!)

It’s a hidden gem!  And  tucked away with a few other restaurants down a long corridor.  So there is very little street presence. Located at Hamburgo 150A.  Upon arriving you will see a  black iron gate advertising several restaurants inside this little hidden  plaza-corridor. (And it’s basically next door to CHA, another great restaurant). You will see the Hamburgo sign, and also a sign for pizza and a German restaurant Pommes Bude.

BACK TO BURGERS! I love Picana meat and this place makes different burgers using picana meat and also skirt steak meat.  We ordered one of each and honestly can not pick a favorite. They were both juicy and delicious!  Also I wanted to try a pulled turkey burger/sandwich. (12-hour white wine marinated-grilled turkey!) Again  very juicy, savory  and  very delicious!  Some diner-style French fries  are available.  $40 pesos  for  large order and  $20 pesos for small order. All of the burgers  run from $120 pesos – $170 pesos! They have a Hawaiana burger, Falafel, pulled pork and many  more. So it is very affordable  and  BYOB, if you want an adult beverage!

I wanted a little something sweet after our HUGE  meal!  We tried the Chocolate empanada, served hot,  with a scoop of homemade gelato. It was awesome!

 

You can scan the QR code below, it will take you to their whatsapp.  From there, you can access the current menu at the top house/home icon. They are always trying new things and sometimes have specials. They also offer things like  wings and tacos, both regular and deep fried! They have much more than what is listed on menu below!

The cook/chef  (Rodrigo) is also  the  waiter.

Only  4, 4 top tables.  But  they also  do  to-go orders.

At the time of this writing,  I think they are now open 7 days a week  2pm-10pm.

Puerto Vallarta’s Jorullo Point Glass Floor Observation Deck

WOW!  How  cool is this???

from PuertoVallarta.net & Debate.com.mx

Jorullo Point viewpoint is inaugurated, which can be accessed via a suspension bridge in Puerto Vallarta, providing views of the mountains, the Cuale River, and the ocean.

This viewpoint is part of the Canopy El Jorullo and Ejido ecotourism complex.  Jorullo Viewpoint is located in the Canopy Ecotourism complex, situated in the Ejido El Jorullo, about 16 miles southeast of Puerto Vallarta. The focal point of this expansion is an innovative suspension bridge, 200 meters long and 100 meters high, designed for RZR vehicles and pedestrians, offering a unique and exhilarating experience at an altitude of 420 meters above sea level.

(Facebook photos Enrique Alfaro)

Upon crossing this bridge, visitors are welcomed by a relaxation area with a drink bar, a panoramic swing, and a glass-floored viewpoint, offering spectacular views of the Cuale Sierra, the Cuale River, and the sea.

Canopy El Jorullo aims to diversify the range of experiences in this sustainable ecotourism complex. In addition to thrilling attractions, the site features a hiking trail leading to the new point, accessible after a two-and-a-half-hour walk from the restaurant at the park’s entrance. (TWO AND A HALF HOURS???)

Construction of “El Jorullo Point” took a year and a half and is now open to the public through local tour operators and general access at the park entrance.

Surf Lesson’s and Hike’s in Sayulita with Adan Carano

How would you like to SURF???

and  do the Hula Hoop?!

Visual artist ADAN CARANO  can often be seen doing his amazing hula hoop show from Sayulita to  Puerto Vallarta.

Based in Sayulita,  Adan gives  surf lessons!   1 hr and  30 minute class costs $1600  pesos. (About  $90  US  at the time of this writing).  Why not get a group of  gays  together for a  day  in beautiful Sayulita  and get in some surf time too?

A little over an hours drive, Sayulita is  known for beaches with strong surf, like the central Sayulita Beach. To the west, Los Muertos Beach is more sheltered, sandwiched between protective rocks. Galleries in Sayulita sell artworks by Huichol indigenous people.

Sayulita also offers  great street food,  street entertainers, spas, street bars, tattoo artists, beach restaurants and shops everywhere in the midst of a natural setting between mountains and sea… something for everybody.

 

 

He can take you or your group  on  a 3 hour hike  to Cerro del Mono (Monkey Mountain) ?

360 degree views from on top of the mountain!  3 hours / $1200  pesos

What about a BLACK SAND BEACH??

Patzcuaro is a gorgeous beach just southwest of Sayulita.

Playa Patzcuarito is one of Sayulita, Mexico’s most beautiful hidden gems, and is one of the most unique beaches in the Riviera Nayarit region. The beach doesn’t see a ton of visitors, as it lacks any kind of good road access and lies a bit out of the way for most people. That being said Playa Patzcuarito is surprisingly easy to get to and takes only 25-30 minutes on foot through the jungle. It is located north of the larger Playa Patzcuaro and south of Playa Carricitos, which are both also well worth a visit but require a bit more effort to get to. 3  hours / $400  pesos.

Get all the  details  on  his  WhatApp  page 5213221383682

Sayulita is an awesome day trip  and  Adan can be  your gay guide!

Feel free to make a  request,  and  he will create  a  customized  package  for you!
