FAQs AND MORE

HOW DOES PANAMA JACK COMPARE TO UNICO?

The more modest Panama Jack is a much different resort experience than UNICO. UNICO is in a class by itself in the 5-star resort world – one of only 2 all-inclusive resorts among The Leading Hotels of the World. While we would have loved to return to UNICO year after year, it’s simply too big for us right now. At the UNICO price point, it was nearly impossible to fill the resort. At VACAYA’s young age, we just don’t have the extensive list of deep-pocketed travelers to fill a 448-room resort… yet. That being said, we anticipate being able to return at some point in the next 3-5 years as we continue to expand our alumni base.

At UNICO, the resort is the star and the VACAYA programming was always kept to a subdued rhythm so as not to steal guests away from UNICO’s myriad inclusions. At Panama Jack – a beachfront city center hotel with its own unique young, hip, fun-centric, Spring Break vibe – you’ll see a much broader range of VACAYA programming as we take advantage of the resort’s central pool area right on the beach.

7 Nights Versus 6 Nights

We of course always wanted to be able to offer 7 nights at UNICO, but the price point just made that impossible. It would have added another $600-$700 to the retail price, putting it out of reach of many travelers. Over and over again, we heard from our guests that they prefer a 7-night experience and we’re so happy to be able to offer that opportunity at the less expensive Panama Jack.

LET'S BE REAL

Of course most people want UNICO quality at Panama Jack pricing, but that doesn’t exist in the real world. So instead we’ve gone a completely different direction: offering two distinct experiences for 2021 and 2022, a more modest and affordable one at Panama Jack, and a more luxurious one at Andaz Papagayo. Each will have its own distinct rhythm and charm at price points that will appeal to a wide range of travelers. Our hope is that Panama Jack’s affordability will allow us to continue to expand VACAYA’s footprint with younger and more price-sensitive travelers. Our goal has always been to give travelers who haven’t felt they’ve had a place in the LGBT+ travel world a home. Panama Jack gives us the chance to throw open the doors of affordable inclusivity ever wider!

WHAT IF I WANT A MORE UNICO-LIKE EXPERIENCE?

We recommend the more equivalent VACAYA Oasis @ Andaz Papagayo June 5-12, 2022 for you. While altogether unique, the Andaz is more on par with the level of luxury you’d find at UNICO.

Who We Are

VACAYA completely reinvents the all-gay cruise and all-inclusive gay resort concepts by opening up the experience to lesbians, bisexuals, trans persons, queer men/women, those questioning their sexuality, intersex, asexual, pansexual, and polyamorous individuals, as well as gay men who’ve enjoyed the typical gay cruise experience. VACAYA is the only large-scale vacation company on earth built for the entire LGBTQIAPK community and their straight ally friends. VACAYA offers fun easy vacations with customized itineraries, personalized service, tailored entertainment, welcoming activities, friendly parties, and transformative moments. Shared experiences with like-minded LGBT+ adults and friends give us a new perspective on the world and remind us how lucky we are to be alive. VACAYA charters the entire ship or resort so we have the freedom to express our individuality, make personal connections, celebrate life, rev up, or simply relax… together. Our mission is to fulfill the vacation dreams of all adults who believe “love is love” while giving back to the community and immersing our guests in the cultures and places we visit around the world.

All-Inclusive Resorts – Staying at a VACAYA Oasis all-inclusive resort delivers a truly relaxing and exhilarating vacation because it’s all included for one incredible price, from meals and alcohol to spa treatments and excursions. Our resorts offer scores of daytime activities, exclusive nightly entertainment, gourmet restaurants, exquisite turquoise waters, and sun-soaked beaches. But that’s only the beginning. These are places where we come together and feel part of a bigger family. With so much included, all that’s left to do is have fun and enjoy the value!

LGBT+ Cruises – Life on the open water is about savoring the good times, finding beauty in the details, appreciating friends, and discovering new ones. Sailing the seven seas is about leaving the ordinary behind. It’s the moments we spend connecting, laughing, and living life to the fullest. Its possibilities are endless and exciting. Sensual. Life changing. These experiences connect us to each other. They open our minds and unify our rhythm.

This is the spirit of VACAYA. open sea. open mind.
