Sunset Club Review in the Nightlife Guide
Nothing is better than enjoying a drink while lounging on a couch with your feet in the sand looking at the stars.
The only thing that prevents me from enjoying the beach as much as I’d like too is my job, so most of my beach time happens after the sun goes down. When I am looking for a little more than a starlit night at Playa Los Muertos, there is the Sunset Club (formerly Havana Moon) at the Hotel Mayan Palace, Marina Vallarta.
The first thing you notice is the abundance of intimate seating areas. The couches are filled with pillows, and, try as you might, it is impossible to resist the urge to lie down. If you prefer, there are lounge chairs facing the ocean and ample seating at the bar area. The music is an eclectic variety of lounge, played at a volume that still allows you to hear the crashing surf. The lights are dim and candles are scattered around. Ceiling fans help keep things from getting too hot.
Within minutes of sitting down on one of the oversized white couches a waitress arrived to take our order. She promptly returned with the drinks and some much appreciated peanuts. The sarong clad waitress was attentive without being intrusive, and we were never without anything we wanted. Unfortunately, closing time came earlier than we would have liked and it was time to move on.
If work keeps you from going to the beach, or if you want to continue your day there, Sunset Club will accommodate your desires. The best part about going to the beach at night: you don’t need to put on sunscreen!
