About this place Sama

Sama is a martini lounge on Calle Olas Altas in Puerto Vallarta's Zona Romántica, next to The Palm Cabaret. It has an air-conditioned room and a sidewalk lounge that is good for people-watching on one of the busiest strips in the gay part of town. Older listings note gay staff and a crowd mostly in its 30s and up. It is a talking bar, not a dance spot: cocktails, conversation and no need to shout. Listings give daily hours from 4pm to 2am, which suits a pre-show drink before The Palm or a nightcap. It is tagged gay-friendly rather than gay, though in practice the clientele on this block is largely gay.

Hello, I just wanted to mention that there are a lot of pigeons, and this is detrimental to our health. They're also in an area near swimming pools, and the pools contain pigeon droppings, which are very corrosive and harmful. I know this infestation is difficult to control, but it's urgent to try to relocate the pigeons to another place.

The hotel itself is a bit run-down on the interior facade. The rooms are a good size, though I wish the air conditioning was colder. The beds and pillows are really comfortable! There's a minibar and they provide complimentary drinks. The service staff is very attentive. There are activities all day, both in and out of the pool, including a disco night, which we attended and, frankly, left much to be desired. The DJ was terrible; the music was for everything but dancing, and he refused to play any requests. We decided to leave. That was the only bad thing about the whole experience. We went for one night.

Nice hotel, the room is always clean and has a minibar; they welcome you with some drinks. Large pool with lovely warm water; you really enjoy it. The sea is very calm, with no rocks and very even waves. The staff is very attentive, friendly, and respectful; they are attentive from the restaurants to the lounge chairs to see what you need. The food doesn't vary much, but it's tasty. Highly recommended. The activity leaders do an excellent job; the children and adults have fun with the daily activities from 10 am to 5 pm.

Excellent hotel and its location boasts a luxurious beach, nothing rocky, just pure sand which is much appreciated.

It didn't meet my expectations. The staff service was another story; they were incredibly friendly, but unfortunately, they have to work with what they have because the hotel is a disaster. The facilities are old, and we were given a room with stained sheets. The bathroom smelled disgusting the whole time—truly disgusting. We had nowhere to hang our wet clothes. As for the food, it was always the same. We've been there for three days, and they've cooked the exact same thing, and it was tasteless. In the pool area, there's a restaurant where you can get fries and hot dogs, and the fries I got tasted awful. When I cut them open, they were green, like they had mold. The glasses and plates were full of chili or drinks that someone else had used before.

The service was extremely unpleasant. The staff spoke to customers in a disrespectful manner. The organization was sorely lacking, and one constantly felt the need to negotiate to receive decent service.
