Came here for a bachelorette! They were great getting us a table & having quick service but the drinks were pushed hard & fast. The bathroom was massive & the attendants were so sweet. Was fun & got to celebrate with a few other bachelorettes on stage. read more

Of all the night clubs on Vallarta's malecon, Mandala has been my all time favorite. I had my birthday celebration couple years back. Pretty much same program at Mandala, you're lured in by outside staff with either "freebies" or deals. Never had to pay cover charge, always had great seats, views and service. Seems to be not so much action on the dance floor before 11pm, at least times we've gone. However, the music always keeps you amped and pumped. Whether it be reggaeton or hip hop, Mandala will always pull through with their upbeat sounds. There's always tons of staff throughout the club and security crew at entrance. I sometimes think staffing is way overboard and it looks more overboard when staff are huddling around congregating at their post doing nothing. Last night's experience was good. Even with our free margarita drinks, Mandala didn't capture our attention long enough but for approximately 30 minutes. We had tipped and left. We ended up going to the gay bars on the other side of town, Romantica Zone. I still recommend read more

This place is a lot of fun! Love the staff, the music, the fun vibes! The bathrooms are insanely gorgeous! read more

Mandala - Dance Clubs Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

We club hopped from one spot and ended up at Mandala where we got VIP and bottle service as well. Between the two spots we went to, Mandala definitely had the vibe we were looking for. In fact, we left the first club because Mandala left a lasting impression on us when we passed by it. Mandala was an interesting club. There wasn't really a centralized dance floor, but people were just dancing all over the place next to tables and lounge chairs. The women's bathroom was excessively clean and massive, which was much appreciated. My bachelorette party had the pleasure of sitting in the VIP booth with the DJ. It was for sure the best spot in the house. It overlooked all the club minions below and was in a prime spot to be seen by people walking on the Malecon. The DJ was great. I thought he played better music compared to the spot we went previously. He had a good mix of hip hop and reggaeton going, and he even played a song for us that we requested. I didn't handle the ordering, but I was told that the bottle of 1942 Don Julio we initially wanted was double the price in USD. We skipped on it and got a cheaper bottle, which we found to be comparable to the US price. In other words, you're not saving any money by doing bottle service at this club. Be prepared to match or double the price you expect to spend for bottle service in America. read more

Went on wed and it was slow and vibe wasnt there. Bottle service total was 271usd for a bottle. Heard theyre busy on fri and sat.

Quite a famous stop in the Malecon area so obviously we had to peep in and grab some drinks The lighting in this place is awesome, almost like being in a club in Vegas. The music is great, although old school but the DJ does a good job there. Drinks are great for a club like that and comes in a neon glass.. super cool effects My only problem with this one was, not enough room for dancing and a lot of people are allowed to smoke inside so it gets really unbearable for people who either don't smoke or have asthma or just allergies.. that really put me off at Mandala. The crowd actually starts coming in after 11 pm!! read more

Great time as always. Diverse crowd. Music is nice. Drinks are good. No dance floor but plenty of room to dance around your table. Saturday nights are so fun. Always make a point to kick it here when in town. read more

Love this place! Great atmosphere with friendly staff. Only downside is that they don't play enough Spanish music. Very nice decoration and ambiance Best bar by the beach in PV read more

Mandala - Dance Clubs Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Mandala is the fancy clubs in Mexico. We usually like the one in Cabo. This one wasn't too bad either. The music was good. We didn't stay here all night because they didn't offer any specials for a bachelorette party. It was pretty packed and popping since they make it like a Vegas club. read more

Not really a club in my opinion. It's a huge bar where you can dance in the hallways and they overcharge you for a picture. $25.00 for a picture. They try to get you in and treat you nice until they start getting packed and inform you that you must give up your seats unless you buy bottle service. The dance floor is nonexistent and the music was pretty bad. Not really my cup of tea but it was my birthday and I wanted to dance gosh darn it so I had to suck it up. The woman's restroom was the most beautiful bathroom in a club that I have been in most recently. I couldn't help it and had to take a selfie. If you're not picky come here but beware some shady stuff can happen if your not really sober. Not coming back. read more

Mandala - Woman's bathroom is beautiful - Dance Clubs Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Overpriced watered down drinks! Tried a tequila and vodka drink and they both sucked! Too crowded and no where to dance!

Cool club. Drinks were a little over priced but music was good, Venue was dope, the bathrooms were kind of amazing. We had a really nice server who was super fast and friendly. read more

Mandala - Womens Bathroom - Dance Clubs Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Checked out Mandala when I was in PV for my birthday. The locals we all asked said go to Mandala on Saturday. So we proceeded. We got a hook up at our local resort and did the open bar wrist bands. It was worth it as we finished 4 bottles during the time. The club itself is nice and the music was good when we were there. Overall, everyone had a good time. The bad is they pack the club so tight, you are literally pushing people to walk through. A lot of locals and tourist, so the mix was good. Second reason why it's 3 stars, are the table guys who demanded a tip. We tipped the guys throughout the night and the guy came back and said we need more. Not only did he came back after we gave some more. He came back again and wanted even more but went to a different person in the group. Stood around us and waited. Enough was enough, we left. If you want a club that's packed tight were you have to push people to get by and servers demanding even more tip. Check this place out. read more

They over charge and expect a 50% tip. Okay music. EXPENSIVE!!! They gave my table away because I wouldn't buy another bottle. Choose wisely. read more

This place is packed every night as it is right on the strip with a bunch of bars and clubs. I was there for my Bro's bach and we hit up every spot we could in a weeks time and this spot was the best. We came to this club every night as it was the most crackin club in PV. They had all types of themes each night. All the contests they had were definitely Snap worthy and the service was off the hook. It was hot af in there and they had ice and bottles on rotation and we never had to ask for a thing. It was full service and they ended up knowing our names and drinks by the the end of the trip. Better mainstream music would have got this place jumpin as the high energy EDMex music lol gets old after awhile. They have Mandala's all over so I'm now on a mission to compare them all. read more

Came here with a group of girls and got bottle service. It wasn't that hard to get it and was about $40 US dollars per person (for a group of 11) but got plenty of alcohol and were even able to take the stuff we didn't finish home. There is a very mixed aged group of people here! Music was great, they played Spanish and some English music! I think the best part of this club was the bathrooms! BEST BATHROOMS EVER! Suppper large mirrors, clean and had service inside! read more

Avoid, one star for cool music but overly priced they take a photo of your license and card so now I'm scared. But the drinks are not strong and again just overly priced. Speak to locals of what places to go. Don't come here. As your yelp friend I say avoid. If you want to spend a lot then go to mezcal y sal a place where yes pricy but delicious. But want clubs or to go party there's places that are cheaper. read more

Rude front staff the girls are rude af I was here 3 weeks ago with my sister and has amazing time Not worth the hassle read more

Loved it here! I came with a group of friends and it was our first time coming to exploring Puerto Vallarta and its downtown. We had heard good things about mandala, with the only negatives being the priciness of the place. As tourists from America, we wanted to make sure that the club and the area it was in was safe and it definitely was! This was honestly one of the most upscale nightclubs that I've ever been to. Another thing worth mentioning is how clean, huge, and nice the bathrooms of this place are, especially for a nightclub. From what I hear, the ladies bathroom has the best lighting! We got here on the early side around 10:30pm, and there was barely a line and no cover, which was great! The staff was friendly and the vibes were incredible. Everything from the lighting, music, dancing area was awesome. We even made some friends who were actually from Oakland, CA and turned out to be so much! I definitely recommend this place highly to anyone who hasn't been. Cheers! read more

Anyone else felt like they were in Vegas here? Nothing wrong and to be quite honest I found this club aesthetically appealing. I really wanted a once in a lifetime experience to party in Puerto Vallarta and it wasn't here. Womp. Planned a bachelorette party for a night of clubbing and they were able to get us bottle service last minute. Many thanks. Mind you that their bottle service is pretty pricey! Do your research. The songs they played were pretty modern which includes EDM, BUT they repeated some songs. Womp. We definitely wanted to hear more Rigaton music, which they rarely played. There's good security here and I felt safe. The staff were amazing and very attentive to any requests, i.e. more drinks haha. Definitely a hotspot for tourists. Not many locals here, which makes me question where the real party is at? Anyways, the line to get in is pretty long, so I recommend getting here before the crowd. :) read more

Original Date: 7/2/2015 Last night in Puerto Vallarta...party time! We brought our tickets from Misael and Giovanna beforehand (staff members from the activity center of our resort). We took a taxi with our new amigos Andres and Walter to Mandala which is located on El Malecon Boardwalk. Wow it was a huge crowd to get into the club as there was no lining up like back in the states. Our friends were drinking so they got a wristband as me and my friend got a ticket indicating that we aren't drinking. The security guards had to pat down the male attendees and check the purses/handbags of the female attendees. After all that is done, someone pointed to an emptied table which is right back the stairs where people are constantly going up and down the stairs. The music is pretty much all fist pounding and techno style but with one or two songs that you can really dance to. The decor is so awesome and the vibe in the sections are very loud and crowded. It was their Mardi Gras celebration with majority of the people were in white attire. Overall it was a kick ass way to end our last night of our vacation here! read more

Club has good music, but are a huge scam. Ordered a bottle that was listed at $250. They brought us a champagne bottle we didn't ask for and charged us $600 for that champagne bottle. $1000 bill. Insane!! Threatened to call the police if we didn't pay. Go somewhere else if you don't want to be robbed. read more

Stay clear of this place. Huge scam. They mislead you on every price. Even when you ask specific questions they lie. Please don't make the mistake of going here. It's a disaster. read more

Terrible club Went here and had a few drinks-nothing crazy. A member of our party soon disappeared from us, we had only been in the club for 2 hours. The music was way too loud and it was impossible to talk to people. One member of our party saw the member get escorted in a very demanding and dangerous manner. Once we met the member outside of the club, it was apparent that he was drugged. Psychotic behavior, screaming, and barely speaking English. This club has nothing in place for security and is a joke. If you want to be traumatized for life, then go to Mandala. Stay away read more

1/1/23 ringing in the new year with a man throwing me to the ground. Employees did absolutely NOTHING. Everyone ( who were guests )saw it and rushed to my aid. Except for the people that ran the club. HAPPY NEW YEAR. To add... The man whipped out a credit card and the employees ignored the situation were quick to dismiss him after pulling out his credit card. After throwing me on the floor. They only care care about you money and not your experience. read more

Girls outside came up to me and cousin offered a free drink but never specified it had to be a margarita. Ordered to drinks and they brought us the bill . They said margarita was the free drink. So we asked for the margarita and they said okay waited 10-15 minutes and they never came back! False advertising! Make sure to ask questions! read more

good ambiance and good music however they get you in by telling you that you get a free drink yet they didn't tell us that it's a specific drink which is a margarita so the waiter brings you the menu and does not explain that I got 2 drinks one for me and my friend and then an additional one they brought the bill and billed me for all drinks. I explained to the waiter that I had been told by one of their staff members that they were giving out a drink free he stated that the free drink was a margarita so he offered it and then he never came back with it then minutes later I asked about the drinks and then he said they were not going to authorized them because no one told us we were getting free drinks. The waiter had an stank attitude and became upset when the girl who offered us the drinks told him to bring us drinks and even then he took a long time. read more

Came here after Senior Frogs. Prices were about the same but I wish I stayed at Senior Frogs. They took a copy of my ID and credit card. Hopped on the phone with my bank immediately after I left. Froze everything, closed my account, and let all three credit bureau's know to freeze my credit. Not happy that a photo copy of my ID and credit card is floating around Mexico. Honestly it was not worth the hassle at all. As a traveler just avoid Mandala. read more

Horrible place - stay away!!! They're such scammers and they take advantage of tourists!! My friends and I went there for a bachelorette party. They said we'd get a table for a bottle service, we got a 3-person bench . They wouldn't give us any of the liquor bottles we wanted and our waiter kept saying that he had one could give us this other bottle that was a lot more expensive than what we wanted. We said fine bring that bottle. After we finished the bottle that they brought us, a new waiter showed up and he brought our check and it was more than what was on the menu. Then he thought that I was drunk and he showed me a total on a small calculator and he was tipping himself $100 (USD). I told him no, and he wouldn't give me my card, and he took me to the back where other staff members surrounded me trying to scare me and force me to sign the receipt. I finally got my ID and CC and left. My friends and I went to a different place. If you're a guy and speak English or a tourist, they will take advantage of you. Go somewhere else- any smaller clubs in the area and you'll actually enjoy yourself. read more

The staff here is disrespectful and aggressive! After I paid for 2 drinks and signed the bill, the waiter then decided that he wanted my passport (which I don't take to the club- and no other business has asked me for this). They had 5 of their men put me in a brutal chokehold and try to break my wrist. Again- I had already fully paid, and only taken 2 sips of my drink. Why would you treat people like this?? (Answer- just because you think you can!) read more

The club was nice but the DJ sucked. We went on a Sunday night (August 19) and our crew loved the environment. The bartender, waitress and staff were all top notch. The only thing that sucked was the DJ. He played music that was cool in the US like 5-6 years ago but he was not in line with what's cool in LA and NY today. We requested Cardi B and Bad Bunny which is what's trending in the US and he made a face like he didn't know what that was. Instead, he proceeded to play some shitty music that not many people were into. If the DJ is swapped for someone that knows today's trends, this would be a 5-star spot. Until then, it's mediocre. Try somewhere else. read more

This is the nicest nightclubs Puerto Vallarta. We were walking the boardwalk, aimlessly rather, and stumbled upon this place. Really lively vibe. A lot of tourist and locals. If you are a couple and not with a large party, they are very accommodating. We were walked right in no cover. We were seated at a VIP table for 2 ( we didn't even buy bottles, as we don't drink alcohol). They have your extensive club drink menu. Ambiance is real modern, great lightly, decor and sound system. DJ is amazing, plays mostly house but does throw in hip hop and Latin music. Highly recommend it for a good time! read more

The WORST CLUB EVER in PUERTO VALLARTA !!! Do NOT COME HERE. Let me start with the worst that happened, the table service guys will keep pushing you out of the way rudely while trying to dance. They pushed my mother who is 70 years old and the pushes were completely hostile. When I asked him why he kept pushing my mother, he decided to radio the rest of security to kick us out. Let's not mention the bottle service was way more than they told us it would be. It was 6 sodas and a bottle of don Julio for $300 plus rude server to 5 girls. So good luck everyone and guys! If I were you go next door or anywhere. If they cared they would have said sorry and maybe done something little to make us happy. But NOT here. And if you are a guy be aware they are going to hate on you and make it hard for you to enjoy your self. I LOVE PUERTO VALLARTA and this is the FIRST place I dislike. NO STARS ! T read more

Horrible experience- said that our table was 1100 pesos and then when we went to pay said it was in American dollars. They were clearly scamming tourists and wouldn't let us make any sort of argument for ourselves. Beware to any tourists- go somewhere else if you're looking for a club read more

This club is amazing. The lights, the screens, the amount of employees here. Ridiculously awesome. He drinks were good and the seating is perfect. They knew exactly what they were doing when they built this place. I think it has a roof top too which looked really cool. Ut didn't get to go up there. Would like to come here again. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. They will overcharge the hell out of you. We bought 2 bottles of tequila and the bill came out to almost $700. The staff will take advantage of intoxicated people and tip themselves. This place honestly needs to be closed down for scamming people. read more

Went last night. WAY too pushy asking for more tips. Then again and again. Wow!! Music was just okay.

Love this place!! They are at your service 24/7 and give u a new napkin everytime they open u a new drink!! Lots of waiters available to help u, the music is lots of remix throwbacks SO MUCH FUN !!! Really recommend if u are from out of town. Drink cost is pretty average for a club kinda expensive for Mexico but it's a club! read more

Really fun place , my sister and I came here during the week at open 10pm and we had so much fun. The service was great but we got bottle service so probably one of the main reasons. They play a great variety of music . Overall a fun experience ! Only complaint was that the orange juice tasted terrible read more

Just avoid this place altogether to make it easier on yourself. We got in "free" on a Sunday night with a group of 4 because a friend wanted to dance and she liked the music she was hearing. I believe we had maybe 9-10 drinks + a round of Red Bull for some of the stuff and the bill came out to over $250 USD so it's relatively pricey all things considered. There wasn't quite a way to verify the prices either so it really could just be par for the course. I guess that's a club for you. The uncomfortable part came at the end when my husband wanted to pay. They walked away with my husband's credit card AND ID for quite a while and then, when they finally got back, had him sign the receipt a couple different times to ensure the signature matched his ID. You should just be checking the name against the ID, you shouldn't need to take the ID away like that especially for that long which allows time for them to take down all his personal information. Definitely bred distrust for me. read more
