Almar Resort and the Mantamar Beach Club Get a Facelift
While several hoteliers shuttered or closed temporarily during the pandemic, the owners of Almar Resort and Mantamar Beach Club Bar & Sushi have spent the last couple of years making elaborate upgrades to their properties, which include more luxurious accommodations for LGBTQ+ guests.
By November 1, 2022, the Mantamar Tower will have an additional 34 suites – with views of Los Muertos Beach and the ocean – available to guests checking into the property, located in Puerto Vallarta’s queer-friendly neighborhood, Romantic Zone. The new accommodations will be in addition to the 79 luxury suites that currently exist at Almar Resort Luxury LGBT Beach Front Experience.
Last year, the Mantamar renovated 16 rooms on the second level of the Mantamar Tower and also created the lush green space called Eden Garden for guests to get some shade under teardrop-thatched cabanas or sit at an umbrella-covered table and enjoy fresh sushi or a gourmet meal served onsite.
For those who may not know, this Almar Group property is comprised primarily of two buildings: the exclusive and slightly quieter Almar Tower with its modern sea-view rooms, and the Mantamar Tower, where the pool parties and special events are just a few steps away.
Almar Resort has a total of nine different accommodations, including the Standard Suite, the Almar Deluxe Suite Ocean View, the Romantic Suite with an Ocean View, the Mantamar Backstage, and the Mantamar Front Row Suite. These contemporary luxury suites have spacious bathrooms with rainfall showers, flat-screen TVs with access to a variety of international channels, Wi-Fi, and L’Occitane toiletries.
In addition to the resort’s luxe accommodations, LGBTQ+ guests can head to the Top Sky Bar to relax in the open-air lounge areas with panoramic views of the city, take a dip in a Jacuzzi while listening to national and international DJs, catch an entertaining drag show, and indulge in a selection of model-themed cocktails as well as an assortment of margaritas. Try the Naomi Campbell (tequila reposado, La Pinta Liqueur, lime slices, spearmint leaves, and soda), the Kate Moss (Gin, St. Germain Liqueur, strawberry slices, maraschino cherries, and soda), or The Top Margarita (tequila blanco, Cointreau, X-rated, and lime juice).
For guests who like to turn up, the Mantamar Beach Club Bar & Sushi provides guests with access to fun pool parties that feature the hottest DJs around the globe. While you’re listening to the pulsing EDM, take a relaxing dip in the infinity pool or the suspended pool (“flying pool”) to marvel at Los Muertos Beach below or gaze at the endless ocean beyond the shore.
Mantamar has oceanfront cabanas and lounge beds, and if you want a bite to eat, you can order food from the onsite restaurant that serves burgers, pasta, tacos, tostadas, ceviche, and more! Spa treatments, a romantic dinner for two, a zip line excursion, and yes, even a wedding can be arranged via the resort’s and beach club’s staff.
The Almar Resort Luxury LGBTQ+ Beach Front Experience is considered an oasis for unique experiences, and it is located near the world-famous Malecon and the best bars and clubs in the gayborhood. The Almar Resort and Mantamar Beach Club are the ideal queer travel destination to unwind and relax or just have fun celebrating a special occasion or partying with your friends.
