    Every experience has always been great during our visit. Depending on the day and if there's an event, prices are different for beach lounges. As that's what we took advantage of. Weekend was 800 peso and weekday was 500. It was great to be greeted with a familiar face during this visit. Irving, who took care of us during our prior visit remembered us when we walked in. There's always a good amount of lounges offered on the beach. You could also reserve poolside cabana, hot tub or lounges upstairs. I'm here for the beach so beach side was what's up. Just like the last visit a couple months ago, service was great. The cocktails were excellent. Always started with a mimosa to lounge before anything else. Food was always great. We stuck to mainly the seafood dish of ceviche, shrimp aguachile, and octopus served on crispy wonton. Sushi is good but limited to only rolls mainly. They do have a full menu with sandwiches, pasta and salad. Just like every visit, it's t always the seafood and beer that calls our name. The lounges are nice and come with towels and umbrella. They're all lined up as the front tends to be reserved for hotel guest. I believe the pool also is included with your day pass. Plus the beach water is actually nice and swimmable compared to certain parts in Cabo. Service is always good, food was always great and drinks were nice. You will encounter beach vendors coming up to you seeking all sorts of things. But that didn't ruin our stay. Also, with the wrist band, you're able to leave and come back.

    pleasant quick respectful service. spicy tuna roll was good! got a hand roll as well! yum!

    #haveitall #lovemantamar the pool is amazing

    This is one of if not the best beach clubs in zona romantica. The cabanas by the pool are placed perfectly for some sun and no sun. It's a cool vibe with good music and a d.j. spinning just the right beats. Our waiter, Ramon was amazing! Drinks were always excellent and never empty. Do not be discouraged thinking that sushi at a beach club isn't good because the sushi is incredible. All of the food is wonderful. Good food, great service and eye candy for days! Stop in next time you visit Puerto Vallarta and always remember...a smile and friendly attitude goes a long way.

    This place is hip and has it going on. If you don't have a reservation, you only get access to the bar area. They have a pool area upstairs and also chairs on the beach. The service staff was friendly and everyone spoke at least some English to make it easier. The service time was a bit slow however they were crowded. The drinks we had tasted avererage for the area and were served in plastic cups. If you are looking for a place with a crowd look no further. They got it all! However if you are just wanting a drink and enjoy the view of the beach, there are many other Bars more suited for that. *** Dieser Ort ist hip und hat es in sich. Wenn Du keine Reservierung hast, erhaltest Du nur Zugang zum Barbereich. Es hat einen Poolbereich im Obergeschoss und auch Liegen am Strand. Für diese Bereiche braucht es eine Reservierung. Das Servicepersonal war freundlich und alle sprachen zumindest etwas Englisch, um es einfacher zu machen. Die Servicezeit war etwas langsam, aber es hatte auch viele Gäste. Die Getränke, die wir bestellt hatten, waren für die Gegend durchschnittlich und wurden uns in Plastikbechern serviert. Wenn Du nach einem Ort mit vielen Menschen suchst, suche nicht weiter. Sie haben alles! Wenn Du jedoch nur etwas trinken und den Blick auf den Strand geniessen möchtest, gibt es viele andere Bars, die besser dafür geeignet sind.

    3 stars only because my friend and I couldn't get the full experience (pools were under renovation) and the food was a quite expensive (I think I remember it being over $15 USD or something ridiculous for chips and guac) Other than that, the service was awesome and everyone was super friendly! My friend and I had our luggage because our flight was in a few hours and they were kind enough to store it away for us while we were on the beach. We got two beach chairs with towels and had an awesome server and were around really fun people (also traveling to PV for the first time) Food was expensive for what it was but I'm ok with it since I don't get to eat on the beach in the states. Got the guac which was good and a huge portion. The ceviche was OK but not my favorite! Passion fruit marg, I could've gone without. I'd definitely give this place another shot!

    We came here everyday when staying at the Almar resort for our 10 day vacation. The food and service was great. You get to lounge all day by the beach and have service at your fingertips. Although the drinks were average, I did like that they had a great variety of food (sushi, ceviche, burgers, nachos etc) My favorite waiter was Xilo, he recommended the perfect drinks when we were too hungover to drink anymore. The staff go above and beyond getting you an extra towel or umbrella should you need it. This place has pool, hot tubs, cabanas and the perfect dj to get you in the party mood. Thank you Xilo, Dany, Fernando L. and Luis.

    That guy in the pink shirt told us. Don't stay here ever.

    Studs is studly!…read more This cool bar on the first floor, meets nightclub on the second is loaded with good energy, good music and great guys. The bartenders were some of the best and funniest we had the pleasure of ordering from in all of PV. The gogo dancers and Studs staff were amazing and very kind, especially on breaks mingling with everyone. The only downside was they charge a cover almost every night here, with the exception of their Wednesday underwear themed nights. All shapes and sizes are welcome and celebrate here which we definitely need more of in the world. Studs Puerto Vallarta is absolutely ahead of the norm. Studs host happy hours, beer bust, bingo, disco nights and more. It's definitely not for the faint of heart, but it's absolutely a lot of fun and the ambiance from the main level to the top is very distinctive. We lounged on the sofas across from the bar and not to far from the main entrance, before we realized there was a staircase to the upstairs where the music was louder and the place was backed with people have a great time, dancing the night away. Open cada día/every day as early as 3pm until 2 to 4am at the latest, depending on the night. Drink specials are very impressive, 30 to 90 pesos for most beer and cocktails.

This untrained bartender will not deter me from visiting Studs again.

I say "small", as the the inside spaces, on all three floors, can get tight, especially the first and third floors. However, the outdoor space on the second floor makes up for it all! Wraparound seating, string lights and gorgeous murals...this courtyard is where we spent more of our time while at Anonimo. We were here for the cocktails of course, so we hit the main floor first, then made our way up to the third floor before settling in the outdoor courtyard. Drinks here are standard beer and cocktails. Pricing is great, as with most places in the area. While are not cash only, they do highly recommend cash and have a 500 pesos limit for credit card usage. If you are only have a drink or two, you may not be able to hit that, but we just put our groups first round on the same tab and were able to make do with no issues. Service was friendly and welcoming, space was fun, open and distinctly PV. Overall, we loved it and will certainly be back on future visits!

    Te amo barra de videos!…read more Anónimo is a queer cocktail bar in Puerto Vallarta on the just outside the outskirts of the Zona Romantica area in PV. It's a multi-story bar lounge to hang and enjoy some great cocktails as well as some amazing music and music videos from all over. They closed a little earlier than normal the night we stopped in, a bit surprising for a Saturday night but definitely still enjoyable since we closed the bar out on the patio of the top floor overlooking the street with two solid drinks. Our bartender was really easy going offered for us to pick a few videos but one of the customers was on a role so we just let them have it - only a little off after they started skipping videos. The entire layout is very fun, definitely watch you step and your head if you're tall like me and the novio. Definitely a great spot to wrap up the night and/or start it off. The second level has this amazing wide patio deck with a beautiful mural. Definitely need to hang there a bit next time. We only had one minor issue with change here, but it got resolved really easily. Everyone we met was kind, friendly and welcoming even the person living their best life as the impromptu video dj of the night shot after shot. It's a full bar, no eats, but nothing but great energy and beats.

The staffs were amazing. The drinks were good. By the time we left at 11pm, the club floor had 3 go go boys and it was starting to get busier. It was a fun night out.

The drinks are reasonable, but unlike Mr. Flamingos and a few other places they do charge a cover to get in on most nights. It's multileveled which can be fun especially with great music, dancers and drag performers in abundance. People are pretty friendly here, but not the most welcoming to everyone. They were pretty nice to us, just a touch rude to another group of patrons from what I saw while we were here - at least at the door. The bartenders are fun. The music is epic. High energy. Outside patio area is gorgeous. We didn't stay here long at all. We just didn't vibe with this hot spot as much as other places, but still a great place. And overall (at least in my opinion) it's not AS feel good as neighboring LGBTQ+ spots in PV. That said they have some great events, beautiful dancers and great club lighting.

    The perfect balance of a nightclub experience that is not only in the queer-bar neighborhood of…read moreZona Romantica, but is welcoming for all. This club is so much fun and I've taken all my friends and recommended Code and everyone has had a great time. The setup is definitely more table based but it is pretty affordable. Once you walk up the main steps there is usually a small cover fee to come in and the bar is right in the back of the first floor. Up the massive mahogany stairs are the multitude of floor-to-ceiling doors that are all unisex bathrooms. I love the large mirror at the top of the stairs for a quick selfie and of course the bathroom attendants are super friendly. I've noticed a top floor but have yet to decipher if it is private event space of additional table seating (I will try to remember to ask next time). What makes Code stand out is the level of theatrics and lighting that are utilized throughout the night. From male and female go-go dancers, cascading light and disco ball drops that are synced to the music, pyrotechnics, and so much more -- this is one hell of a spot. Each night on different trips I've been on there has been a different theme for each night. You can tell they take great pride and plan out each theme accordingly. For those who opt for a table, they have some of the best service. From a dedicated server exclusive to your table for the entirety of the night to the frequent checks on what mixers or drinks you might need. You'll be squared away. Make it a point to add this to your trip itinerary and you will not be disappointed.

We were…read moreapproached from the street which was cool, but then we walked in and there were at least 25 miserable looking workers trying so hard to get into party mode. They were basically zombie dancing, where you know they could hear the beat but were mentally checked out. One round of drinks was about 500 MXN for 2 simple tequila and sodas. The staff tried hard to sell us on those couch areas, and I believe the price was around 5,000 MXN for the base package. You are not allowed to sit unless you purchase. We actually might have bought this, but there is an Alfred Hitchcock-esque vibe here that cannot be explained on yelp. The theme of this place is a library plus the feeling you're being watched in your house. Also there are balloons. The crowd is very young; it was mostly 19ish looking people. Eventually, there was a performer who hung by her hair, which actually was really cool which is why this got an extra star. I was confused why they didn't advertise this during their crazy couch sales pitch. Overall we did have some fun dancing to the fun music but this is a hard pass. If you go, do pay cash and leave before they get extra weird.
