Corona Isla Bar

Bar

😠 We just got here to leave on our way back to Canada 🇨🇦. We ordered 2 beers and got completely screwed. A 6 pack in Nuevo Vallarta is 24 Mexican Pesos. They asked about a tip percent starting at 15% so i said 20% not knowing the actual price of the beer. My mistake obviously but $13/beer is not coo... People often mention beer, pesos, drinks, time, asked, menu,

    Stopped there to have a beer waiting for others to arrive. Total beers once everyone arrived was 8. The bill came to $156! The beers are $8. Which are normally $2 to $3. Or 50$ pesos. Added an extra 1000$ pesos to the bill. When told them about it,they took their time in correcting it. Never stop at that bar again From reading others reviews,it sounds like this is a norm for them. Stay away!!

I feel completely ripped off. Do NOT buy beer here.

    An airport restaurant that doesn’t take credit cards! Don’t serve food until 1pm. Didn’t tell us until after we ordered a drink. This place needs new management.

    Avoid this Bar.... a Corona Beer cost $135 Pesos!!! Ya it an airport bar... but it's outside (hot)... you can go to Wings inside the A/C Airport and get a beer for 83P. Still high but not Crazy high. Also the rude waitress asked me to give her a Tip. Noooo

    Zero stars because they refused to serve me for no apparent reason, even after I asked them to take my order. No idea how the food or drinks taste… great welcome to Puerto Vallarta

    Over priced drinks. I had my dogs and their water spilled a little and waiter said he was going to charge me 100 pesos to clean it up. I asked for my check. Service is bad too. Very slow

    Nice place but extremely very expensive. Two drinks and chips with guacamole will set you back about $50.00 .

    Refused to sell us non-alcoholic drinks and then kicked us out because we didn't want to order any alcoholic beverages. Were super rude about it.

    The service is horrible! They try to take advantage of tourist and overcharge and pocket it as tips. Be aware! If you call them on it. They will get mad and be so rude to you!

    Most expensive beer in Puerto Vallarta. Check your menu - they tried to charge us more than the menu price! If leaving, enjoy a beer in the airport, not here. If arriving; Go a block outside and enjoy beer for a 10th of the price. Absolutely outrageous!

    Terrible service and ridiculous prices. All servers stood around and had to wave them down to take our order. The exception was Julio he was always checking on all the tables and working very hard to make sure tables were clean, tended to etc. Julio was amazing!!!

    Worst place ever. Never again. 15 dollars for a non alcoholic drink. Waiter said doesn’t include tip. In all the years I’ve gone to PVR I have never been to such a horrible over priced place

    AVOID! Bartender just tried to charge me 435 pesos for three 12 oz cans of Modelo. Basically $8/beer 😂 That’s more than at Yankee Stadium! Basically this place is all about fleecing jet lagged tourists, barely out of customs, who have a wad of cash in their pocket and haven’t quite wrapped their head around the exchange rate yet.

    Check your tab before paying!!! My friend paid her tab and the waiter knew this. Yet he added her tab to mine (which was a large tab for 10 other people) to double charge us after she took off ahead of us to go get groceries for our condo. No, it was not an honest mistake because we told him more than once to split it, yet he still added her tab to mine and claimed she only left him tip money and that she didn't pay yet. I called my friend and she confirmed she definitely paid him. Even after this, he still argued with me. Finally, he pulled out the cash she paid him from his pocket. So frustrating and dishonest!

    Okay place to hang out and a have a beer before security or while you wait for someone to arrive from their flight. It's right outside the entrance and exits to the airport, so that's nice. The beer prices are way more than comparable bars that are literally across the street though, and they don't have a lot of change to break up large peso bills.

    For many years, i had a tradition of getting one Cadillac Margarita at this bar with whoever might be picking me up and traveling with me. I behave nicely and tip well, so the main bartender has always been friendly and she remembered how i liked my drink. However, the last two visits to this bar have not been good at all. The servers were inattentive, got orders wrong and didn’t apologize or offer to fix when it was pointed out, just shrugged. This time, they tried to add a 200 peso “service fee” that must be paid in cash?!! I asked if that was meant to be gratuity and was told it was separate, we could put the tip on the credit card slip. This, After not even bothering to clean table for us and spilling half a drink on me. I doubt I’ll try again.

    Please don't stop for drinks here. It's extremely overpriced, and if you don't know the exchange for pesos, then they will make it more.

  • 1/5 Catherine H. 1 year ago on Google
    Is there a zero? They tried to put 2 extra drinks on our tab and then wouldn’t take them off. It then took 25 minutes to get 1 off. They were trying to wait us out. Gives Mexico a bad rap. Review your Bill!

    130 pesos for a Corona light. It's expensive.

  • 5/5 Sean M. 9 months ago on Google
    Everybody complaining here should save their money and drink at home- don’t go on vacation. Service is a bit slow, but great spot to have a beer and people watch.

    Well the 1 star in this review is for Julio! This man was going non stop! Cleaning ashtrays everywhere as soon as you put out a smoke! Running food and dancing and smiling while doing it all!! All the young waiters stood around watching tv and spinning tray’s on their fingers. They were really good at it so I assume that is pretty much all they do there. We stopped to kill some time before heading home. There is a reason they don’t have a menu or list their beers…..at 130 pesos for a bottle of beer it’s the biggest scam in Mexico and that’s saying something!! Treat this place like the time share guys inside and keep on walking!!

    Hey people, this bar is a total scam. They tried to rip me off with the drinks by overcharging five times the actual price in the menu. If you’re going to go here, make sure the charges match the menu prices before you pay them alright!

    We just wanted to grab a Coke before our flight. They said they didnt offer Coke as Sodas, only to mix with alcohol despite listing sodas in the menu. What a freaking joke
