    Love this hotel. Feels clean, nice, sexy but not overly sexual or predatory, walk to the beach, it's a bit of a walk to the gay beach, but still great

    Beautiful & rustic gay-friendly resort. Loved it!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay at this resort. The room was huge, very clean and nice, overlooking the jungle like resort with trees, rivers, birds, etc. We were told one floor up (we were on 2) you can see the ocean, but alas it was still a pretty view. The restaurants were great, especially the Mexican, Italian, and The Grill. Concierge was very helpful. The resort offered snorkeling down a centote that was REALLY fun, and it goes right out to a rustic and cool looking beach to the left of the resort. 3 jacuzzi's at this resort were KEY, so we didn't really have to fight for one. The location was good as we could go to Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Cancun within pretty short drives, although one of our best days was simply staying in at the resort and eating, swimming, snorkeling, etc. A great stay!

    Amazing beautiful beach

    LOVED the white fine sand and turquoise waters of this beach. Down by the manchebo resort is a HUGE point where the sand goes out..that's the prettiest spot. A couple gay couples, but not many. You can dive down in the water and see huge gorgeous starfish. Sunsets can be beautiful as well.

    Best meal I've had in a long time....

    Our experience here was nothing less than stellar. Ryan the waiter was very friendly and attentive, and really helpful in explaining various dishes. The appetizer of coconut shrimp and calamari was great, especially the calamari (not overly fried, not overly mushy). I had the filet special which was to die for...can we say "truffled mashed potatoes!"? Mmmm The steak was cooked perfectly. We ordered cookies for dessert and were surprised when they came out freshly baked and warm, and about 8 different kinds/flavors. Ranz, who I believe is one of the owners, came over and said hi. A really great dining experience!

    Best outdoor mall

    I love The Grove. The movie theater now has online reserved seating, the restaurants are nice, it feels like you're 'doing something' besides going to a mall. Cool water fountain show. Snow in the winter. Sometimes too crowded around the holidays.

    huge wide great beach

    This beach is awesome. you can look to the right and to the left for miles and it's just wide, sandy, white beach. People aren't crammed in too close to each other. It was kinda windy one day, and cold water!

    Pretty good bar. I like that it has sort of an outside area that you can walk into , so not everyone has to go in the front door. We were there for a special event which was fun. Good friendly bartenders. The crowd was mixed/older. Kind of your typical bar.

    Lovely stay, AMAZING Staff

    We had a good stay at the Warwick. The staff was especially nice and friendly, really going out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with our room and got one as soon as possible. The rooftop pool was nice....wish there was a jacuzzi though. And not enough chairs. The room itself was quiet, sort of basic furniture but spacious, and a nice view. Great shower head! I'd stay here again. There were some other gays on the roof by the pool as well! :)

    Relaxing and quiet

    Great stay. Pool is great and we didn't realize they had a hot tub before coming, which was a nice bonus after getting out of the cold ocean! The beach is SO close, just a few steps down the boardwalk, which makes everything so convenient and ideal. Room was pretty nice. You have to tell them if you want them to clean the room or they won't. Breakfast was a bit lacking during the week, as they didn't have enough food for everyone.

    Shockingly great hotel in great area! Superseded my expectations.

    I couldn't believe how nice the room was at Villa Mercedes. It was HUGE, and had a balcony that wrapped all the way around the building. We had 2 bathrooms which was great as well. I wasn't expecting to see the amazing ocean view where the sun would set every night right into the water from our balcony. Couldn't have been more perfect. The noise wasn't bad either. We only woke up one night to some voices and car noises down on the street, but fell back asleep. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. We didn't use the pool much, but the outdoor area in the hotel is very cute. I would definitely go back here, especially since it was right in the heart of the gay area and a block from the beach. Tons of great restaurants and shops right around us.

    I went to Marix shockingly for the first time for Margarita Monday this week, after living in weho or weho adjacent for years. It was PACKED and lively on a Monday night, which was refreshing. The margaritas were only $4 and strong. The guacamole was OK. We didn't eat since we had already eaten, but I would go back and try the food. All in all a good experience. Nice waiter too.

They asked us if we wanted a double but we just got the single, and it was still yummy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Atmosphere was nice and fun...lots of gays. We didn't even have to wait for a table on a busy night. There is no other Mexican food like Southern Cali Mexican food....mmm good!

    Amazing massage in huge spacious gay playground

    I absolutely love this resort and can't wait to go back. I only went for a day to get a massage, but I totally want to stay there now. The owner showed me the rooms and I used the spa and pools and had a blast. The massage was LITERALLY the best massage I had ever had in my entire life, and they told me that they screen the therapists, etc. The cocktail hour after the massage was amazing, with this delicious vodka grapefruit juice drink (sounds gross but is so sweet and good) made with fresh picked grapefruits off their tree. The nicest and cutest guys were there, one of whom we had seen out at Hunter's the night before!

    Absolutely gorgeous and comfortable getaway B&B

    My friend and I had such an amazing time here. The hotel is cozy and comfortable, with about 8-10 rooms, so you never feel overwhelmed with people, yet everyone was extremely friendly. The pool and jacuzzi were both very nice and warm. The room is what really blew me away. It was way bigger than expected, with a separate living room (and even the pull out couch was comfortable!), huge kitchen, and nice bedroom. The icing on the cake here was the breakfast every morning by the pool, as well as the cocktail hour in the evenings. The margaritas were yummy! The staff were all helpful and fun. They even sang Happy Birthday to another guest, bringing out a cake, and asked us to join. It was like a big happy, hot family at the Triangle-Inn! :)

    Fun & raunchy, but a bit small

    I had fun at Fubar on Saturday night. However, when we got there at 9:20 pm, it was totally empty. We chatted with the bartender, and slowly it started filling up. I had forgetten what a small space it was. However, the music was good (although it seemed too loud at first), and there was a little raunchy display of men on a bench press up on the stage, as the night was called "LOCKER ROOM". Hot stuff! Again, great place, good drinks...just too small.
