Fodor's "Silky sheets and cozy down duvets, multiple ceiling fans, and large flat-screen TVs are a few of the creature comforts that set Velas apart from the rest." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The gardens and grounds are still charming, the pools (with a lazy river) and recreational options are excellent, and the restaurants are hitting on all cylinders." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A handsome 10-acre, beachfront, all-suite hotel built in a horseshoe shape. Impeccably kept, with beautiful marble floors, pastel walls, Huichol art, and Mexican textiles."
Star Service "On the beach, within walking distance of both the marina and 18-hole golf course, this is a classic international tropical resort, capably run and service-oriented." Full review

Because of landscaping, request a room above the third or fourth floor for the best ocean views.

"At the south end of the Malecon on lively Playa Los Muertos, Blue Chairs Resort by the Sea is a mid-range, adult-only LGBT resort near the dining and gay nightlife of Zona Romantica." Full review
Lonely Planet "Overlooking one of Mexico’s most famous gay beaches, this resort is a good place to let it all hang out (although officially the beach has a ‘no nudity’ policy)." Full review
