Mandala Playa del Carmen — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

A friendly warning - if you take the table reservation package thing (which me and my friends did) you pay around 110$ each (we paid it in CAD) but you can revert that money into drinks. However they CHARGE FOR SOFT DRINKS and etc so don't go opening new sodas, energy drinks, or mixers for no reason. They most likely are not going to disclose that until you pay. Everything that's on the table will be charged extra, the package only accounts for the alcohol itself.

We were 4 people and it was enough for one bottle of Hendricks and mixers. We ended up getting a second bottle on the side later on. We didn't finish it by the end of the night but they let us take the bottle which was pretty nice (and unexpected)

The staff is extremely attentive - if they saw your cup half empty they'd be right there to replenish it, constantly making sure the ice was not too melted, etc. But then again, the sodas and etc are extra so it makes sense. They also would make the drinks super strong so I'd recommend you pay attention to it because your bottle will dry much faster.

Overall fun atmosphere, the music is very loud but we had a good time. The place has a nice breeze because its all open on the sides so that was nice. It's the type of dj that will play 40s of each song and move on to the next but we didn't mind. We definitely had fun at the end of the day so I'd recommend it just make sure you know all the info...

I came to Mexico to have a good time for my buddys birthday. We went here our first night and it was the absolute worst. We ordered a table and bottle service and felt like kings because its Mexico. I went to the bathrooms a few times and was bombarded by low life scum asking if I wanted to buy cocaine or drugs. I politely said no and went to go take a leak. After I was done I went to go wash my hands and the little dirt bag took my phone out of my pocket and demanded money. I thought it was a joke until he would not give me my phone back. I was then surrounded by 3 more guys demanding money. Instead of getting stabbed I gave them my money and immediately went to management. I was informed that the people selling the drugs did work for the club but there was nothing they could do. I was then told by the owner that I needed to leave the club. AFTER WE BOUGHT BOTTLE SERVICE. I was even told not to go to the police because they were corrupt and knew about the drugs being sold. Absolute worst experience of my life. Don't ever go here. Save your money and stay out of this **hole of a bar. If that little twap ever came to America it would have been a different story. I did meet some girls though because who wants a low life scum selling drugs. Hope it was your girlfriend you prick. 0/10 would...

Good loud sound and if the crowd is what you are looking for. The floor is packed and there is no cover charge but if you are not drinking or dancing, there is no room for you as it is small, despite the multiple levels. Bottle service is a must and they will push it hard. No seats or table without a bottle or 2 depending on how many and if you are not the prettiest. True as the price and service changes- they will charge extra for mixes and extras like water, Red Bull and be ready to go fast as they will serve you on every zip of a drink and get another one in- another bottle or another party. The 3 clubs are also connected and have staff going and coming so it will be the same. The music is a little different and the Dj seems better here, as loud as it is. It is pretty clear and well mixed music. All closes at 11 pm here but there are plenty of local bars and places - but I would not recommend them. Stay safe as there are no real safe areas, temperatures are checked and hands sanitize but people are crowded with no regard to any space or safety - that can be seen right away. The heavy pushing for drinking fast and crowds is not good for anyone. It’s not a club you can...
