This is a GREAT spot. I went for martini Monday (85 pesos martinis all night) and ordered a house…read moremartini to start. They use tanqueray as their house gin which is unusual but a pleasant surprise as it actually happens to be my preferred brand. I didn't have high hopes for the martini - I find that outside of major U.S. cities places end up putting in way too much vermouth - and it actually ended up being fantastic. It didn't taste too different from what I would make at home which is probably the best thing I could say about a martini (for my own personal taste). I tried a fruitier one - the Gigi - as my second and final drink. It was good but I'm just not a fruity drink person. I just wasn't equipped to handle another standard martini lol. The ambiance is phenomenal - it was both casual and comfortable yet classy. The crowd was much older than I expected although not in a bad way at all. There were lots of expats in their 50s and 60s. I was worried it would be a rowdy rooftop and by contrast it was actually a very chill vibe. Only complaint is that the bathroom is outside of the venue down the stairs and you need a key to enter, which was a bit annoying bc I wanted to use the restroom before I left and I forgot to ask for the key on my way out. Small annoyance and certainly wouldn't prevent me from going back.

It is also billed as a "rooftop" bar and so I was here for the view and the online drink specials. When pulling up to the location, I asked if we were to take the elevator to the top floor and the attendant/bellman pointed to the right and I said "Excuse me? This is the rooftop?". I immediately felt dooped until I walked 10 more feet and then I saw the "rooftop". Because the building is built into the side of a hill, the view is overlooking the bay and it is SPECTACULAR. We took a few photos and we warned by the staff that certain seating amenities were reserved for guests of the condos above the bar. We quickly snapped our photos and sat down for a few drinks. Some guests in the pool had Bahama Mamas, frozen Tequila sunrises, etc. My friends and I ordered various things: lemon drops, straight martinis, beers, etc. The prices were more than reasonable, the setting sun was AMAZING, the views were earth shattering and the service was attentive. This is an excellent "pre-gaming" location and I suggest that you take advantage of this location before you leave PV!

If you are staying at Pinnacle, you can take your drinks over to the pool and that's the real draw for me. Sitting at the bar itself isn't quite as nice but they do have a very nice happy hour.

Very easy check in process, he talks you through the whole process and pretty much does all the work for you. The location is perfect because it's right by all of the clubs and bars, plus there's a taco stand right outside of the entrance and it's next to a convenience store that's open 24/7. You can also walk to the beach which is like 2 blocks away. The hostel was extremely clean and almost every time I walked in I would see someone cleaning. You can tell that this place is very well kept. I even made some really nice friends here in the little lounge area. I plan on staying here again next time I visit Puerto Vallarta!

This could've been a 5, BUT... Let's start with the good:…read moreGood location Able to walk up around 10:30 and get a lounger, a few rows back, but I could still see the ocean, and an umbrella was key for a day in the sun. Music added ambiance but wasn't the pounding club vibe of some other places. Water in this area is calm and not overly crowded. Maybe I just got lucky, but the people sitting near me were friendly which was nice on my solo trip. The menu looks good, and those around me got their food relatively quickly and had no complaints, but my experience was different. It took forever to get someone to take my order. Well over half an hour, I'd been given no update about my order. When my waiter finally happened to pass by, I asked about my food, and told him to cancel my cocktail and just bring me water. I was so dehydrated and hungry . The water didn't take too long (though it should've been faster considering the extended wait already), but my ceviche took at least another half hour to get to me. It looked ok and tasted fine, but within an hour, my stomach turned sour. I spent the next two days feeling sick. It left me wondering if my food had been sitting out. I'm not saying don't go there, but be careful with what you order, and if your food isn't served promptly, maybe cancel it just to be safe.

Great drinks, fantastic happy hour prices, and local live music or a DJ most weekends. Thurs - Sat, they have this awesome guy Chino who uses the space for Chino Bites. These are the best damn dumplings I've ever had! There are 4 meat options, 1 vegan and 1 option that allows you to mix and match. So, my wife had 3 pork and I had 3 vegan ones and oh, my how good were these!! The wraps are super thin and cooked to perfection, the filling is wonderful, and I'll die on the hill that this was the best vegan dumpling/gyoza I've ever had......and it was in Mexico!! Definitely hang at Lucid when you're in Sayu and make sure to try Chino Bites, you won't be disappointed!

If you are looking for an Oakland/Temescal vibe in Sayulita, this is the place to be. We went twice and felt very well taken care of each time.

We came back to watch some music at night and met some fellow travelers who were also really great. Good vibes at this place are infectious. I don't drink and they made me a really excellent sandia mocktail. My wife had the aperol spritz and it was good and STRONG!

There are 2 levels - one which is mostly indoors and then the top level which has a great balcony space overlooking the main square. The cool thing about Aria? BODY PAINT. FREE GLOW IN THE DARK BODY PAINT. Exactly what you didn't know you needed in your life. This isn't the only thing that sets Aria apart though. The DJ here was so much better than a lot of the live music spots we found in Sayulita. Top 40s, old school hip-hop, a little something for everyone. The crowd was mixed - we had our large group, some other vacationers, and Sayulita locals. Was it crowded? Absolutely, but that didn't take away from the experience. There were also a ton of fans on the top level so the space was well ventilated considering how many people were packed into the space lol. Hands down my favorite spot for a dance party in Sayulita.

After looking up good places to go, Bar La Playa came up- and I'm sure glad it did! First, it's easy to get to if you're coming from North. Our Uber was easily able to drop us off without getting stuck in gridlock traffic that can affect certain roads of this area. Additionally, the location isn't a high-traffic area for tourists. That meant we were able to walk up and immediately find seats. Second, the service was top notch. I didn't get the bartenders name, but he was very welcoming, friendly, hospitable and spoke English. Just an overall cool dude and was glad to support his business. Third, the drinks were great. Finally, we were drinking 'real' drinks, not the watered down sugary stuff at the hotel. We were very satisfied with the taste of the drinks. Fourth, the prices are really good. Mexico has gotten expensive and this was a sigh of relief. You can have a great time here without feeling like you paid an arm and a leg. I highly-highly recommend making Bar La Playa your first stop when coming to this area. You're going to get great service, great drinks and all at a price that is reasonable and fair.
