The first time we went there, it was ladies drunk for free night and there was an amazing fire show. We really enjoyed this night although the free drinks were pretty weak and there was a limited option to choose from. Fire show not to be missed though!! The second time we went there, there was no offers or shows... more

I really enjoyed this laid back beach club. Until the hurricane they had one of the best spots in Playa del Carmen to swim. The swings are fun and the food and drink package with lounge chair is an excellent deal. more

We went to the Blue Parrot after walking up and down the beach looking for two other bars that had been recommended on Trip Advisor that were supposedly nearby. We found one, but it was either closed or empty. Never found the other at all; anyway it was after 10 when we finally decided to just go to the BP... more

The blue parrot reminds me of one of those cheesy clubs down in Tijuana that is packed with either middle-aged tourists or teens not yet old enough to drink in San Diego. All the same ultra-cheese pop songs like "Electric Slide", "Whoomp, there it is", and others of the same ilk. On top of that, the staff seems rather snooty... more

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
