Bar La Playa is a MUST first-stop when visiting Zona Romantica…read more On our most recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, we wanted to spend a day in this part of the region. 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.

I shouldn't even be sharing, 'cause it may get too crowded. The Good The view, the service and the drinks, in that order. We loved everything about the Sky Bar. Food and drinks are pricey. Bring your wallet. It's such a lovely place, complete with a reed covered roof that would be awesome on hot or rainy days. My group loved the area that we walked through to get to the Sky Bar from the beach. It was what one would call 'friendly to all people'. The Meh - nothing to report The Bad - nothing to report

There was a short walk from the funicular to the hotel/condo. Happy hour from 530-800 so we ordered some pina coladas and margaritas to catch the sunset. Shortly after we ordered pasta pomodoro, parmesan fries, shrimp burrito, and Al pastor shrimp tacos. Everything was absolutely delicious especially the shrimp tacos which I dipped in the aioli sauce (mm chef's kiss*). Be advised that the pool is for guests only.

This place has two levels, both with great space to bring a group of people. There are bars on each floor with plenty of rooms to stand up or sit down at booths. We came on a Tuesday night with anticipation of coming back on Saturday night. The rooftop is one story up, covered but still in ambient air so you can feel the great summer climate while enjoying a cold drink. The drink service was a little slow but we weren't in any rush when we came. Drink quality was below average, I got the Ginger Mint Paloma and my wife the Jalisco express. If you're looking for a great cocktail this isn't your spot. I would recommend coming for a quick drink and moving on or coming to end your night here. Big perk is the length of time they are open (4AM!) One nice thing is that they played the NBA in season tournament game upon request and have a big TV upstairs to watch from. Overall we are keeping our night going but come check it out! Prices are very reasonable.

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.

Hanging out on the rooftop was such a great experience. It's the perfect spot for people-watching, and we met some really great people along the way.

We enjoyed it so much that we made it a point to come back multiple times during this trip, and it was well worth it every time. Keep doing what you do, and we'll see you again on our next visit.

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 chicken was tender, the vegetables were fresh, and the creamy chipotle sauce was smoky, flavorful, and just spicy enough without overpowering the dish. The refried beans, fresh guacamole, and handmade tortillas brought everything together perfectly. I even found myself making little tacos with each bite. I paired it with an iced latte, which was the perfect way to start the morning. The service was warm, friendly, and welcoming. I'm still learning Spanish, and everyone was patient and kind, making me feel right at home.

During our cruise stop in Puerto Vallarta, we decided to have lunch at Andale's Restaurant & Bar…read more The main reason was to try their well-known Chile en Nogada and experience a local restaurant while we were in port. The restaurant itself was pleasant. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and it was a comfortable place to sit down, relax, and enjoy a meal. For visitors spending a few hours in town, it's an easy and convenient option. That said, after the meal, I felt the restaurant's biggest strengths were its location and atmosphere rather than the food itself. I specifically ordered the Chile en Nogada, which is considered one of their signature dishes. Presentation was beautiful: a large poblano pepper covered in a rich walnut sauce and topped with pomegranate seeds. It certainly looked impressive when it arrived at the table. The flavor, however, was not what I expected. The pepper was very soft and mild, with no heat at all. The filling combined meat, fruit, and spices, giving it a noticeable sweetness. The walnut sauce was thick, creamy, and nutty, but also surprisingly sweet. When everything came together in one bite, I tasted sweetness, savoriness, nuttiness, and the flavor of the pepper all at once. I can appreciate the complexity and understand why this dish is considered a traditional classic, but personally I struggled with the combination. As the meal went on, the sweetness became more prominent, and the dish started to feel like something caught between an entrée and a dessert. It wasn't bad--it just wasn't something I would order again. We also tried a few other Mexican dishes during the meal. They were perfectly acceptable, but nothing really stood out. The overall food quality felt average: not disappointing, but not memorable either. Throughout the meal, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was a restaurant designed primarily for visitors. The menu, atmosphere, and clientele all felt very tourist-oriented. For travelers looking for a convenient and comfortable place to eat, that may be exactly what they're looking for. But for those hoping to discover exceptional Mexican cuisine, I think there are probably better options in Puerto Vallarta.
