Richard AmmonCancun is divided into two distinct areas: the upscale grand hotels along the beach for foreign tourists, and the working class downtown Centro district, (2 miles from the beach – final 15 photos below) where the hotel workers live and shop (at Sears and Wal-Mart, etc.).
In the Centro are Cancun’s three gay bars (and possibly a mixed bar that sported a ‘bi’ night).
Gay life is quiet and subdued in Cancun (except for the loud dance music in the three disco-bars).
There is an annual ‘Gay Festival’ that is touted as a big event by the promoters but it is hardly city-wide and is usually confined to the one or two hotels booked by the organizers. See Passport Magazine story about the beachfront hotels and gay life.
