A gay couple is accusing a Sheraton resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, of discrimination after planning their wedding. The couple alleges that the resort quoted them a significantly higher price and offered limited availability compared to what was offered to their heterosexual friends.
The couple said they were quoted over $80,000 for their wedding and told that no dates were available until March 2027. To investigate further, they asked their friends to inquire about hosting hypothetical straight weddings at the same venue. Their friends reportedly received significantly lower quotes and were offered earlier dates.
This discrepancy led the couple to believe they were being discriminated against based on their sexual orientation. They have shared their experience publicly, raising concerns about LGBTQ+ inclusivity within the hospitality industry in Mexico. The resort has not yet issued a public statement regarding the allegations. Further investigation is underway to determine the validity of the claims.
