The bar was newly remodeled about a year or so ago and is nice and comfortable. The view is great of the Marina and surrounding area, but you can no longer see the sunset as the sun sets behind some of the tall condo buildings on the beach. More

a nice view and place for a pre dinner drink. Nothing special but a place to get a look at the marina area. More

We went here for a drink after our excellent sunset sail with Vallarta Adventures. It's a great spot to see the view and have a drink. It is just a bar, though as they don't serve food (just bowls of nuts and other little snacky things), so don't go there if you're hungry. More

Ok the drinks are expensive of they could do themselves a better service by offering a small menue-rather than mixed nuts. That siad the staff was attentive, the view is amazing and relaxing. More

We discovered this unique spot just steps away from our hotel in the Marina. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the view was fantastic and the service was great. The drinks were strong and I only paid 80 pesos for a cadillac margarita. Go up for the sunset! More

First off, the TA map shows El Faro located north of Bucerias, near Punta Mita. It is not. It's south of Bucerias in Marina Vallarta. Turn toward the ocear at the big Neptune statue and you'll find it on the left. There is plenty of free parking and the trip to the top in the elevator is pleasant with views... More
