LGBT+ Puerto Vallarta Camp VACAYA Resort Week
Oooooo…. has VACAYA got a treat for YOU Next Halloween!
They’re heading to one of the most celebrated all-gay resorts of all time, one absolutely adored by our community, with budget pricing that’s PERFECT for those seeking great value. From Oct 26 – Nov 2, 2025, VACAYA takes over the HARD ROCK HOTEL VALLARTA for our annual Halloween/Day of the Dead Mexico Resort vacation! This time, however, we’re giving the resort a complete VACAYA makeover as they turn it into the campiest camp of all time, full of endless tricks and non-stop treats!
Welcome to CAMP VACAYA!
camp
/ˈkæmp/
noun
- a place where structures are set up to create a social gathering space for recreational purposes, often featuring organized activities.
- a facet of LGBT+ culture characterized by a playful, extravagant, and often ironic approach to aesthetics and behavior, celebrating the absurd and the exaggerated.
At CAMP VACAYA, you’re destined to reconnect with old friends, make countless new ones, and rediscover the joy and simplicity of life as you’re wrapped in a cozy blanket of nostalgia.
Friendships will be forged under starlit skies as classic camp favorites meet VACAYA’s camp activities. From the crackle of beachside campfires and Resort Director Danny’s campy Sissy That Walk Competition to shared meals in their “mess halls,” here with VACAYA, you’ll embrace the freedom and joy of being present, rekindling your inner child, and creating lasting bonds that truly transcend time.
CAMP VACAYA isn’t quite like those summer camps you remember from your childhood, though… because at The Bare Den Bunkhouse, they’ve got their clothing optional pool, as well as a beeline to our famed Red Light District. So, sure… be a kid again, but this time with all the trappings, creature comforts, and fun of being an adult. 😉

Resort
There’s no place in the world quite like this region of Mexico. Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta lies in Nuevo Vallarta, about 20 minutes north of PVR Airport and 35 minutes from PV’s famed Zona Romántica.
Designed with a Mexican vibe in mind, the resort’s 362 guestrooms and ocean-view suites include custom furniture, 49” HDTVs, WiFi, baths with a separate shower, cozy bathrobes, and 24-hour room service. Savor unparalleled views of the resort landscape and sunsets over the blue waters of Banderas Bay. Some hideaways even come with a cheeky bonus—prime views of the “full moon” rising over the clothing-optional pool from your private patio. These gems won’t last long, so snatch ‘em up before someone else does!
For VACAYA’s week at the resort, Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta becomes CAMP VACAYA and their camp is divided into four bunkhouses, each with its own distinct flavor. Over the course of the week, many of VACAYA’s camp activities will be bunkhouse vs. bunkhouse, including our now infamous THE CHALLENGE!
Now, let’s get to know their “bunkhouses”…
Located in Tower 1, this premium bunkhouse is perfect for those who want to strip down at our clothing optional pool and get some sun where it typically don’t shine! All the first-level Bare Den rooms’ patios open to the pool, with the rooms on Floors 2-6 providing the sexiest views in all of CAMP VACAYA.
Located in Tower 2, Rainbow Ridge Bunkhouse is home to the most luxurious accommodations at the resort, including our Rock Star Suites. Rainbow Ridge also offers a wide selection of well-priced ocean-view/pool-view rooms, some with true balconies.*
Located in Tower 3, nearly all Love Lodge rooms have ocean views, with Floor 1 rooms having a patio that leads out to the pool deck. Of course, the higher the floor, the more uninterrupted the view. And with the resort facing west, the sunsets here can’t be beat!
THE OUTPOST BUNKHOUSE – TOWER 4
Located in Tower 4, The OUTpost Bunkhouse provides some of our most value-priced rooms, but they’re all still worthy of a camp rock star. So, if budget is top of mind, THIS bunkhouse is for you! Each room has a tropical garden view, some with patios. Higher floors may have partial ocean views.

DINING
MESS HALL ZEN
MESS HALL FRIDA
Mess Hall Frida serves traditional Mexican cuisine in a festive atmosphere, but let’s face it… like some of our favorite Mexican restaurants, food is almost secondary… it’s all about those margaritas, baby! Afternoon Snacks (including soft serve ice cream) and Dinner.

Looking for grub that’s quick and easy? Then rock out at The Market Mess Hall, where you can enjoy international favorites served buffet-style. Always quick and easy. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
SNACK BAR PIZZETO
Located near the main pool, Pizzeto offers artisanal brick oven-style pizzas and is open daily and into the evening.
BARS/LOUNGES
Get loose with unlimited international spirits, including Whiskies such as Johnnie Walker, Ballantine’s, and Chivas Regal; Vodkas such as Smirnoff, Barton, Oso Negro, and Blat; Gins including Beefeater and Tanqueray; Brandies including Fundador, Presidente, and Don Pedro; and Rums including Bacardi, Captain Morgan, and Baraima.

And yep… we agree… drinks were EXACTLY what was missing from Summer Camp back in the day!
SUN BAR
Located just off the lobby, the Sun Bar, with its chic, modern ambiance and cozy sitting areas, will be the beating heart of your CAMP VACAYA experience. It’s here where their delicious Head Music Counselor Nate Buccieri will lead piano bar sing-alongs, as well as Open Mic Nights and live karaoke! Enjoy refreshing drinks while you groove, laugh, sing, flirt, mix, and mingle.

SUNDAY 26 OCTOBER 2025
CHECK IN
Smiles, Everyone, Smiles! Welcome to CAMP VACAYA at Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta! The V Team will welcome you as you arrive at the resort for a breezy check in. Your V Team Counselors are easy to spot in our VACAYA camp shirts and we’re eager to make your vacation dreams come true. Be sure to check out one of the meetups to find your tribe… they’ll be invaluable in helping you navigate the larger LGBTQIAPK community as the week builds to crescendo. Your first Mess Hall Dinner is on tap for tonight. Will you choose Asian, Italian, Mexican, or Brazilian? Whichever you fancy, be ready for VACAYA’s signature “This is Me” party afterward. Flash that smile, say hello to all your new camp friends, and get ready for a good ol’ time!
MONDAY 27 OCTOBER 2025
SUN’S OUT! BUNS OUT!
VACAYA’s first V-Dance of the week takes place this afternoon! So, be ready for the unexpected! But before that… feeling adventurous and want to avoid tan lines and a sand-filled swimsuit? Then join the campers at The Bare Den Bunkhouse and go au natural at their clothing optional pool! If being naked isn’t your definition of utopia (and we totally understand if it’s not), maybe try the big pool or a little beach time. With so many pool and beach loungers to choose from, you’ll never be without a spot to grab some sun or shade, whichever you choose. And no matter your “state of dress” for the afternoon, they’ve got something to suit just about everyone. After dinner at one of the Mess Halls, don’t miss VACAYA’s signature entertainment in The V Theater. Tonight will also be the first night of VACAYA’s infamous RLD.
TUESDAY 28 OCTOBER 2025
FLASHBACK – 80s STYLE
After a fun-filled day of (high) camp activities, including Resort Director Danny’s Sissy That Walk Competition, tonight, they’re turning back the clocks to the 80s with a very special video party dedicated to (nearly) everyone’s favorite decade of music!
WEDNESDAY 29 OCTOBER 2025
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES
You’ve reached the midpoint of our time here in Mexico and the choices for today abound! Will you take advantage of one of the sightseeing excursions? Or are you looking to expand your friend circle through one of VACAYA’s signature social mixers? Here, you literally can have it all.
Today could be the day you dive into a life-changing adventure with Jet’s Naked Beach Tours! VACAYA has whipped up a sizzling lineup of tours exclusive for Vacayans – some clothing optional and some where clothing isn’t just optional, it’s forbidden. So grab your sense of adventure (and maybe leave the rest behind), and get cheeky on the water! Extra charge.
Tonight, join VACAYA for campfire ghost stories on the beach before heading back to your bunkhouse, where we’re pretty sure late-night whispers and giggles will abound, secrets will be shared, and bonds strengthened.
THURSDAY 30 OCTOBER 2025
THE CHALLENGE
The Vallarta sun shines brightly today as everyone settles in and gets into the spirit of CAMP VACAYA. Is today the day you experience the Rock Spa’s pampering treatments or maybe you just need a steam, hot tub bubbles, or a cold plunge? No matter your vice, the spa facility has it all. Or are you looking to explore PV a bit? Can’t decide? We don’t blame you. This day is all yours and there’s so much to see and do!
Tonight, prepare for the Ultimate Bunkhouse Battle as VACAYA presents THE CHALLENGE – a series of athletic and mental challenges that will push you to the limits of fun as they test your ability to work as a team, solve problems, and ultimately win fabulous cash and prizes, and of course, the honor of being their Bunkhouse Champions! The beauty of THE CHALLENGE is that it cements the sense of belonging VACAYA is known for with their vibrant tapestry of experiences and LGBTQIAPK friends woven together through shared joy, nods to bravery (and silliness), and the exhilaration of simply being carefree. THE CHALLENGE will take place rain or shine (and let’s face it, rain is more fun!).
FRIDAY 31 OCTOBER 2025
HALLOWEEN
It’s Halloween and VACAYA is ready with both tricks AND treats! They’ll do sunset trick or treating before hitting the Mess Halls, then tonight, don’t miss their Halloween Costume Extravaganza before we dance the night away. You’ll have the chance to walk away with their coveted “ZZOLO” Award (and a sizable future trip credit!). We know… many of you have NO IDEA what a “ZZOLO” is, but you will soon enough. And we promise… it’s worth it!
SATURDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2025
DAY OF THE DEAD
Today is hands down the most special day of your week here in Mexico. It’s the start of Día de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead), Mexico’s celebrated holiday for those who’ve moved on to the spiritual world. Join VACAYA for a vibrant celebration at theirDay of the Dead V-Dance, where life and death converge in a colorful homage to tradition! Immerse yourself in a world filled with enchanting decorations – sugar skulls, marigolds, and papel picado adorning the Mexican Village, creating an atmospheric tapestry. This is an afternoon and evening to honor, remember, and celebrate the lives of loved ones while reveling in the joy of life!
SUNDAY 2 NOVEMBER 2025
CHECK OUT
As CAMP VACAYA draws to a close, the memories are sure to linger, leaving Vacayan campers with a profound sense of nostalgia and a yearning for the magic to return as soon as you get home.

There is one question every traveler across the globe universally faces: should I purchase Travel Insurance? It’s natural to ask yourself, should I spend the extra dollars to protect my vacation investment? Or do I leave it in the hands of Lady Luck and hope for the best. At Purple Light Vacations and at VACAYA, we’ve always believed Trip Insurance was critical to the vacation planning process.VACAYA has taken care to integrate the purchase opportunity into their online booking proces We can only refer you to an online travel insurance broker for you to compare/price options. Pre-pandemic, the main reason to buy insurance was to assure your safe return home if something were to happen to your health while on vacation. That’s because quality insurance covers medical evacuation so people don’t have to pay medical emergency transportation expenses out of their own pocket.
Although the pandemic is over, Covid-19 is in our lives for the foreseeable future. So, after all we’ve been through, our rationale for recommending Trip Insurance stands. And we recommend “Cancel For Any Reason” insurance. CFAR has quickly risen in popularity, and for good reason. If you decide you don’t want to travel after the cancellation penalty period has begun, this type of insurance covers a good portion of your cancellation fees. Having coverage is also a great way to help honor your Social Contract with VACAYA.
So go ahead and buy that bucket list trip, but protect your health and your investment by purchasing Trip Insurance. ❤️

Jonathan has gone out of his way each time we have used Purple Light Vacations! We always know we will get the best price and best location on a ship or at a hotel. Our favorite part is the destination guides that he provides so we can know the best of each city.
Purple Light Vacations handled our two-week trip to France, including Paris, Normandy and Provence. It was a pleasure working with them and they reflected professionalism, expertise and responsiveness at every step. They clearly understood our needs and preferences and put together a superb trip based on their keen experience and knowledge. They were gracious and accommodating, and supported and checked in with us all along and made us feel very secure.
I was lucky enough to find Jonathan just by googling. He was very personable, friendly and professional. He was able to put our entire trip together in just a few days and checked on us every day of our trip to make sure we were satisfied. He is the best and only travel agent I will use going forward.
Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations has become our favorite Travel Agent. His attention to detail and his understanding of our preferences for travel is unprecedented. His knowledge of destinations around the world made our vacations spectacular. PLV gets my highest recommendation!
Jonathan Geen and Purple Light Vacations are beyond superior. Jonathan has planned two European vacations for my husband and I and we are thrilled with his knowledge of what to do, his research of beautiful places to stay, and his communication and planning leading up to and throughout the vacation itself. I encourage you to try Purple Light as your travel agent and see how much easier and richer your vacation experience can be.
Jonathan and his team pulled out all the stops for our boys trip! I planned a very last minute trip for me, my dad and son and this team completed an entire agenda full of entertainment, food stops, and must see places! Truly impressed with his customer service, attention to detail, and responsiveness. If these guys are helping you plan a trip, you can rest assured that it will be amazing!
My wife and I had the trip of a lifetime in France for our 20 year anniversary, thanks to Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations. His ideas for hotels, itinerary and tours were spot on. He was completely able to gauge what we would love with just a short conversation and a few emails. Thank you Jonathan. You're a rockstar and we will definitely be using you again and again!
Finding an excellent travel agent today is extremely rare and we can honestly say, that Jonathan from Purple Light Vacations is an absolute gem of a find. He helped us find the best package deals for our trip when my husband and I were in a tough situation. We were impressed by the great deals he offered us. We are so grateful for all he has done for us and our travel plans. It certainly made our lives so much easier. My honest suggestion to anyone who needs a travel agent today is look no further! Book with Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations!We just booked our second cruise within the past year through Purple Light Vacations due to their outstanding service. Jonathan Geen is not only highly professional, he is enjoyable to work with. What is the one thing we all want from the service industry, and especially dealing with travel and vacations-- timely and helpful assistance. Jonathan was quick to respond to any question or inquiry, whether by email or phone, any time or day of the week. He went over and above to make sure we were taken care of, and even provided information about places he didn't even book for us. Purple Light is now our go-to firm for travel and vacations.
Thank you Jonathan for making my dream come true! Bora Bora has been on our mind for years; for its exotic and remote location you are required to pay high $$$$! I thought it wasn't definitely within our budget.I was over the moon when Jonathan proved me wrong and found us an amazing deal!
He made all our arrangements and kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed right down to the time of our departure. During our trip everything was seamless! I couldn't ask for a better experience
My husband and I recently took a trip to Thailand on a vacation that was booked thru Purple Light. Southeast Asia was new to us, and we wanted a bit of extra help. We got a ton of extra help, for free! Purple Light was with us the whole way- from early stages of planning to the actual booking and throughout our travel. When we arrived to our hotel room, flat-out beat from travel, there was champagne on ice to greet us. Wow! We've used them before, and will absolutely use them from now on. I just can't recommend them highly enough to our family and friends.
My husband and I just came back from our 5 year anniversary trip to Cancun. We told Jonathan the dates we wanted, our budget and what sorts of things we were looking to do. He got right on it! Booked us airfare, an amazing all-inclusive resort, transportation to and from the airport (which I wouldn't have even thought of!) and even booked us a trip to Chichén-Itza. He even gave us some tips on what do and where to visit while we were there. Easiest trip we've ever taken! Purple Light will always and forever be my go-to for any traveling! Will definitely be referring them to any of my friends and family
We love Purple Light Vacations. We have used them for quite a few trips and they always surpass our expectations. Jonathon is the absolute best. He takes care of all of the details and is very prompt in answering all of our questions. We will definitely use Purple Light Vacations for all of our traveling needs.
Purple Light has made planning several vacations easier for me. They worked out a family trip getting parents and siblings in from various places. More significantly, they helped us arrange two international vacations. After recommending Argentina to us, Jonathan took care of everything and it was probably our best vacation together ever. He also recommended the RSVP river boat cruise up the Danube from Budapest to Prague...wonderful trip! We've booked an Atlantis cruise through P.L. as well. Of course we could have booked on our own, but using Purple Light was so less stressful and provided...extra help and advice at no extra cost!
I used Jonathan and Purple Light to book a trip for my birthday celebration. He was very helpful and from the very first email contact to the end of the cruise Jonathan handled everything with excellence. His communication during the booking process to the day of starting the trip was very thorough and he missed no details. I will definitely be using Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations again for my future vacation and travel needs.
Jonathan of Purple Light Vacations guided us through the entire process to book our Atlantis Caribbean cruise at no additional charge to us. He kept us informed on all the details of the cruise and events happening on/off the boat. Upon arrival on the ship, a bottle of Merlot was waiting for us. Upon disembarkation, an email was waiting for us to see how we enjoyed the cruise as well as a card in the mail to welcome us home. This attention to detail did not go unnoticed and was very much appreciated. I hold Purple Light Vacations as the gold standard for high quality travel services.
Purple Light has booked vacations for us at Disneyland, Aruba, Charleston, Fort Lauderdale, New York City, Bahamas, Brazil and two cruises and all this since January 2016. We are discerning frequent travelers with a budget in mind. Working with Purple Light gives us the confidence to keep planning more travel!
Normally I research and book hotels on my own. This year, however, I was extremely busy at work and I had no time to do this, so I reached out to Purple Light for their help in planning a trip to the Greek islands, and am glad I did! Purple Light recommended excellent hotels that I probably would not have found on my own, and they even provided helpful city island overviews that were referenced often. In addition, they helped fill in some of our time with tours that we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Purple Light and plan to use them again for my next trip!
We used Purple Light when we booked our Atlantis P.V. Mexico Resort Vacation. With no additional cost to us, Purple Light made what would have been a good vacation...an amazing vacation. They handled everything (airline, shuttles, etc.). Additionally, they provided excellent insight on what to expect on our vacation and what to see and what to avoid. I give them my highest recommendation.
Thank you Purple Light Vacations, and to Jonathan especially. Jonathan helped us plan an amazing Cuba Cruise for my bachelorette trip. It is not easy to book a trip for a large group including all of the flights, rooming/accommodations and excursions. Luckily, we just proposed dates, destinations in mind with a budget and Purple Light took care of the rest. Jonathan researched the options, made suggestions and provided us with great advice. He was so patient and informative throughout our planning process, and really made sure that everything worked out well.
After such a great experience, we also asked Purple Light in helping us plan a cruise for our parents too. Our parents were very happy and impressed with the entire trip. Thank you!!
We used Purple Light Vacations to help us book our hotel rooms in Copenhagen and Stockholm recently during a Baltic cruise. I had previously booked room through an online travel website but I'm glad I decided to go with Jonathan instead, or our hotel choices would have been in the wrong area. You can trust Purple Light Vacations to make sure you have a wonderful, surprise free vacation!
I took a short weekend vacation to Catalina Island with a friend and reached out to Purple Light and was amazed how quick they got me a hotel room and a list of great things to do! They went above and beyond!
I don't think I will take a trip without them!!
Thanks Jonathan and Purple Light!
We were in New Orleans for Southern Decadence. Purple Light Vacations recommended a spectacular hotel right in the area we were interested in staying. We have also traveled to Italy, France, and Barcelona where each of their recommendations was excellent! Everything went exactly as planned.
Jonathan and Purple Light are great! Had them manage our reservations for a couple of Atlantis cruises and always been incredibly responsive and on top of things
I used Purple Light's Copenhagen overview to plan for restaurants and get a sense of must-see sights in the city. The suggestions were perfect and I don't want to take another trip without consulting Purple Light before I travel. Recommended for a first-class vacation that leaves you free to spend your time enjoying the city rather than struggling to navigate it!
