We’re smitten with the exquisite Riviera Maya for so many reasons: the welcoming and gay-friendly people, fascinating culture, connection to nature, crystal-clear Caribbean water, pristine beaches, sublime cuisine, and so much more has us head-over-heels.
Perhaps this is why Netflix chose the Riviera Maya as the backdrop to their series “Love is Blind” …at GayTravel.com; we’re completely blinded by this Caribbean jewel.
For those looking for an all-inclusive Labor Day getaway, then we have the perfect plan for you: Mayan Xcapade Friday, September 3, 2021 - Monday, September 6, 2021. It’s “Excessive in all the Right Ways.”
The trip is exclusively for gay men and is hosted by Volando US, the premier provider of tours and getaways for the LGBTQ+ community and the only DOT Part 380 provider among all tour operators serving the LBGTQ+ community.

How to Get There?
There are numerous direct flights into Cancun International Airport. But what better way than to take a private, fully-charted flight on JetBlue! The party starts onboard a private, chartered flight from Fort Lauderdale to Cancun for $499 round-trip.
5-Star Accommodations
Once you land, you’ll be picked up at the airport and whisked to the TRS Yucatan Hotel at the Grand Palladium, exclusively reserved for Mayan Xcapade. The adults-only resort has everything you need, including 5-star accommodations, stunning sea views, and 81 miles of beach at your doorstep. After partying the night away with world-class entertainment, you can always put your feet up and relax poolside or at the spa!
Entertainment
Put on your party dress because every night is a party! On Friday, September 3, you can move to the music of world-renowned DJ Anne Louise, otherwise known as “The Missionary of Happiness!” Saturday, September 4, catch the remixes of DJ Aron, who headlines at the biggest international gay events worldwide. Round it off with DJ Ben Bakson on Sunday, September 5, whose energetic beats will have you dancing the night away!
Activities
There’s no shortage of fun things to do at this gay beach party! But, of course, the perfect way to warm up for any activity you choose is to take a yoga class. Or a stroll along the beach is always a good idea.
Perhaps a little stand-up paddleboard to connect with nature and feel one with the sea? Team competition more your style? Join up for a casual game of beach volleyball.
For water-lovers who want to explore, then snorkel the Caribbean coral reefs!
If dancing all night doesn’t get your heart rate going enough, you can always sign up for a daily water aerobics class!
Gastronomy
All the activity is sure to build up an appetite! So go ahead and indulge because, in addition to free WIFI and gym access, premium drinks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included!
You’ll want to check out the beachside Helios (inspired by the famous beach clubs on Ibiza) for fresh-air dining and great music.
Safety
Travel safety is paramount to Volando US and the resort. For the inaugural Mayan Xcapade, COVID-19 best practices and protocols will be in place. The resort also offers free medical insurance for COVID-related medical issues for the trip’s duration.
