Description and history

Mantamar is a beach club associated with Almar Resort, an LGBT resort in Zona Romántica, Puerto Vallarta. The club opened c. 2013.^[2] Owned by Vidal Meza and Javier Jiménez, the bar was set ablaze, possibly by arson, shortly after opening.^[1] In 2020, Amy Ashenden of PinkNews said Mantamar "is the go-to place for – mostly – gay men", writing, "Although I spotted one small group of lesbians and they do occasionally throw lesbian parties in low season, it's definitely geared towards gay men looking to party".^[3]

In 2020, the establishment was fined after a video of patrons having sex in the pool went viral.^[4][5] The White Party Weekend in 2021 was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[6]
