Blue Parrot is located right on the beach which makes it a great place to hang out. The drinks are some of the more expensive in town (yet still nothing compared to america!) and it's fun to sit on the swings at the bar. We went to the fire show our last night in town and it was absolutely incredible.... more

Over the years Blue Parrot has owned various properties near their current location. Their hotel is now located a block from the beach, with ocean views if you climb to the rooftop terraces. It's two blocks to their beach side restaurant and club. We found the lodging to clean and well maintained. Our unit had a kitchenette and a wonderful... more

Never Ever will i go back to the blue Parrot! it was a waste of money! the drinks have no alcohol even though they charge you 5 bucks a drink; alcoholic or non. They charged us for 12 beers for a bucket of beer; so the waiter brought out 12 beers and he had to carry them and they were... more

My group also had a similiar story as others. We went there for 2 for 1 night and ended up paying 4x the correct amount. Marco-our waiter not only took advantage of us, but charged us too much and would not even give us a written bill. This after we bought him a shot! Then when we went to leave-Marco... more

We went to the Blue Parrot after a delicious dinner and good margaritas to have some fun (drinks and dancing) on the beach. We ended up infuriated and completely sober. The margaritas were the worst I have ever had in my entire life-- it tasted like sugar with a dash of lime juice and a spritz of tequila. We were... more

We spent one night at the Blue Parrot after dinner, and for the most part enjoyed the music and atmosphere, but there always seemed to be a problem with our drink order. There were four of us at our table, and it was not busy since we were there early. On two occasions we were given double the beers that... more

Don't miss out on the 2 for 1 drinks every Sunday afternoon. At night there are 2 different DJs. One plays music we typically hear in New York City clubs (techno, dance, etc...), and the other DJ plays a mix of popular music from the 70s to the present. The fire show is very entertaining and worth seeing. You can... more

What a rip off!!!! They charge a $10 per person cover at the door and we found out after we left that we were supposed to get two beers with that admission. They never told us that and someone took our beer tickets, that we didn't know they were, up as we walked in the door. We ordered three vodka... more

Okay...given the right circumstances I would love this bar. It's a very cool layout. I noticed they had space to do private parties which I would definitely do. But on a Saturday night it was a little too Spring Breaky for my taste. We personally saw and heard employees/bartenders blowing coke in the bathroom. So I would watch out for... more

great bar, it really gets going around 12:30ish. they have a $10 cover charge sometimes, but don't be daunted by that, it comes with 2 beers or 1 "national" drink. they have swings by the bar for you to sit on. the music is good, but is a bit repetitive. i dont know why blue parrot is always crowded, and... more
