Checked out Spartacus sauna on Friday night, seems a lot of things have rly gone up in price since I was here last, but at 500pesos for a locker I’d expect the faucets in the bathrooms to work or even the shower I first used didn’t work. I visit the Steamworks in Berkeley when I’m in SF and visit baths back home in Canada and many other countries, just saying you’d expect prices in Mexico to be a little bit cheaper not more expensive? If you come during high season on a busy night you’ll definitely have a good time and it’s the only sauna around so they can charge what they want and they clearly know that. Just saying things aren’t as up to grade as some of the other current reviews suggest. Have fun boys 😉DK DK

Don’t go, i was a fan of this place but they breathlized us before going and in, it’s an end cap bar, never have i been breathlazied before. Talk about bad business. I was barely over (of course i came from the bars like everyone else). Others didn’t get it. I used to reccomend, i think i won’t anymoreWes Crozier

I went to this sauna yesterday/Tuesday with emotions and desires... what can I comment?: the reception staff were 2 boys extremely professional, fair and very kind guys with me, the jacuzzi is fantastic, the cleanliness in the sauna is brilliant, the maze is fantastic, I thought no one would come but the surprise... many males, I stayed there for 90 minutes and had/enjoyed 6 delicious pieces another 2 waiting for me 🙂 but I was full of ... :), I read that some customers (rejected queens) complained about the price difference to the ticket that foreigners and locals pay, very bad, I have a salary in the US of $4000/month, and I can afford to pay $23 to enjoy many super sweet and educated males/locals, with bull muscles and a thick sausage with a big head. I'm going back there on Friday, for a sweet Mexican milk. Robert. from Palm Springs ,CA.Micheal Baker

BEWARE!!! Even though Spartacus has a full bar and sells liquor they will make you do random breathalyzer tests for no reason and without cause. I was there over the weekend and they let my partner in and then this guys who said he was a "manager" made me do a breathalyzer before he would let me enter. Of course I had a few margaritas before hand however I was no drunk nor did the breathalyzer say I was drunk. While standing outside the door waiting for them to go get partner, another 15 guys went in and the "manager" didn't require a single one to take a breathalyzer. I have never heard of a bar requiring you to take a breathalyzer. BTW they took mine and my partners money and would not give it back even though they wouldn't let me in. STAY AWAY!Micheal B.

After paying 500 pesos for admission tonight I received only 1 towel when they used to provide 2. The attendant says I’d have to pay 10 pesos for a second one.Is this corporate greed or what!!Shame on you Mr Owner.Richard Canada

A very beautiful place lots of places to relax and get lost in. Staff was very sweet. Special thanks to bar tender on rooftop (Tues) and manager Samuel both their English was fantastic and both very friendly. I see lots of negative reviews here mostly about lights and charging foreigners more money. Well I just wanted to advise the owner that, Just recently, does not allow for discounts for temporary residency holders only permanent residence holders. I’m pensioned and no longer making tons of money as you indicate. I’m still paying a mortgage back home and rent here. I live here in fact on the same street as Spartacus but with temporary residence card I have to wait 4 years before it gets switched to permanent residence. It’s not fair that I’m not treated like a local here just because I’m “temporary”. I go to many gay bars, restaurants and clubs and I know all the staff and some owners and I don’t pay cover, I support their business and bring my foreign friends to their establishment. So it’s a win-win for everybody You use to have discount for temporary residency why you just change in the last couple weeks? Pls reconsider, after all their can’t be that many temporary card holders.Jorge Anthony (djMe)

I had a great time! The pictures and some of these reviews don't do this place justice. Went around 5ish and so the place was not packed. Loved the hot sauna, Jacuzzi, two steam rooms, cold room and small pool upstairs.Wish I could have went again while I was there, definitely planning to go next time to relax and have some fun.Rob S.

I DO NOT recommend coming here if you are visiting PVR! After checking the website & seeing other 1 star reviews that I completely agree with I noticed if you are a foreigner a locker or a room will be double the price than for locals.As the website states;Locales * LOCKER 200 pesos con INE de Banderas Bay* CABINA 350 / no time limit /Meanwhile a locker is 400 pesos and a room is 550 pesos with a 4 hour time limit if you aren’t local!Also NOT a safe space for trans men nor older folk apparently…This equates to inequality of other persons and goes against the acceptance expected across the LGBTQ+ 🏳️🌈 community.Dominic Savage

If you’re looking for a good time with both locals and visitors this is a must go destination! Friendly staff, good mix of people and totally chill vibe. For best “results” I recommend going midnight or after. 😉 For several years I’d been going after the beach around 6PM because someone had told me it was a good time to go. It was always a mediocre at best experience. On my recent trip someone different told me to go late night so I went at 12:30 AM. Immediately on arrival I was amazed how different and busy it was. The energy was amazing. I had the best time I’ve ever had at any “spa” in my entire life! I will only go after midnight moving forward and I can’t wait to go back on my next visit to Puerto Vallarta. 😈T Ryan

The place is beautiful and well run. I go to relax on the roof top lounge. The place is very clean. It is a bit pricey at 500.00 nmp. The house music is too loud. I do not like the fact the staff has no filter on the mouth. It seems others know about my travel plans. When you take the money, be silent. 🤔erick g.

If you’re looking for a good time with both locals and visitors this is a must go destination! Friendly staff, good mix of people and totally chill vibe. For best “results” I recommend going midnight or after. 😉 On my recent trip I discovered I had been going at a slower time - 6PM - because someone told me to years ago. I had the best time I’ve ever had in my entire life after midnight ! I will only go at that time moving forward. I can’t wait to go back on my next visit to Puert Vallarta. 🙏Scott D

Professionally run by fully accommodating and competent staff. Clean rooms, play area and video lounge. Amenities you won't see at U.S. Club - Rooftop Bar, Rooftop Pool, Rooftop Lounge chairs all Towel optional. Contrary to other review I've been there many times and NEVER over charged. Can get pass to leave and return... like to go eat dinner.Jonnie Ramirez

Charging 10 pesos to charge your phone. Charging you to come in because you forgot your glasses, telling you to f off, telling you to stay in Dallas,extra hidden charges, seems they love foreign money but not foreigners one look at these responses from the owner and I definitely would advise all foreigners not to go here don't spend your money where your not wantedMichael Danger
04:19 12 Oct 23
Went through the comments sections just to get an understanding of how this company treats individual and all I could do is laugh at how absolutely unprofessional,ill mannered and egotistical the psychopath responding at the comments is. When tourists stop coming to your establishment and country you'll be the first to complain and wonder tourists are already going to others country so you'd think you'd be a bit more respectful but clearly you aren't too bright I highly suggest you all go somewhere else this business doesn't respect you or your moneyLee J

Disappointed and hurt that trans men are not welcome; I wish we had been able to stay and enjoy. What a humiliating, mean experience. If you care about dignity and equal rights for LGBTQ individuals, please help me by 1) avoiding this place until they change their policy and 2) telling them you are doing so. Trans men are men.Dean Monroe

Update 2, Pride WeekendSunday check in, May 29th, 2023, and check out Monday morning May 30th, around 3 AM. I declined a gratuity and the 2 guys at the credit card asked me why. I told because I was recently over charged. The shortest guy with a silver necklace asked me why I come back. I said I have always enjoyed this place and he told me to “F off”. Owner needs do address this immediately. You don’t tell customers to “F off” unless you want another bathhouse in town.————-Update, Pride weekend 2023. Saturday morning check out (around 3 AM), May 26th, check out May 27th, 2023. On check out, the person tried to charge me for a water that I did not have. My total bill was 650 for entrance and 440 on exit. After I told the person, I didn’t have a water today, he then told me I will be charged 200 pesos for extra time for the cabana. During this time, his coworker was going thru the signed receipts, none found of course! He said there is a 4 hour limit on rooms Just an fyi in the time limit for rooms. Check your bills!!!!!————Previous reviewWhen I left and checked out in the morning, person(s) tried to charge me over 300 pesos. I explained I only had a water for 40 pesos. Typically, I spend up to up to $100 on a visit on admission, lube, and poppers. I asked what was charged, but no response. Are the employees charging erroneous fees for themselves? Bill was corrected immediately with no dispute, Watch what they are charging you and dispute if necessary. I don’t mind paying more that Chicago steamworks,, but let’s ensure the staff is charging the proper amount in exit.Ray Suan

Was fun went on pride month place was packed of people did enjoy but when i checked out their team member charged me with 2 beers i goes where did that came from he said from the roof deck told him i never go there that night, he asked me to go there to clarify l, was freaking out and told why would i go there to explain which in fact i just told him i didnt go there, i asked him to go there to check… 😡 i waiting 15mins then he came back i can go with no apologies but thats ok they are busy and I understand sometime they messed up but tips for u dont get your cash or card to pay right away always check what you are paying. Other than that i love this place.D M

Very fun place . Lots of hot guys and different rooms to play , the pool is cool and top deck , I have 2 complains. The guy in charge in the front is got mayor attitude, and 550 pesos for a room with broken mirrors and no sheets is too muchTimothy Skaggs

I’ve been here more than a time or two over a few years. I love Spartacus! I’m not a twenty something twink or a buff gym rat but I’ve always been treated with respect and a smile by the staff. All the bitter queens need to STFU! Seriously. I have never been overcharged and I think the place is extremely clean given what goes on. Again, nothing I would change. 500 pesos for a locker may be a bit steep but if you can’t afford it then don’t go. Seems simple enough.John McCormick
09:28 05 Feb 23
I actually liked this place, but not the way they treat the bear community. They love our money tho. Almost doubled the usual weekend price to 500 pesos JUST because it was bear weekend. You’d think they’d at least spring for large towels… but the worst was just closing at 3am on a Saturday night and throwing everyone out just for a separate Bear party. For a business that is just recovering from a fire and Covid, I expected we would ALL be welcomed ALL weekend. Disappointing money grab. No other gay business in PV does this. It was pathetic.Matt Worth

I was at this sauna January 2, 2023. This place is over priced and aimed to robbed the tourist. I pay $29 dollars to get in. They don’t accept credit cards “efectivo “ cash only. I was charge $10 for an extra towel and I was charged 30 pesos for using the wall-electric-outlet to charge my phone!!!.The facility not worth the $29 dollars. I travelled all over the world and I never seen or heard a business charging for charging a cell phone.Doesn’t look to be a clean place either.Marc Hamilton

No warning of lights going completely off on the 2nd floor at 1:30am for a 2am closing. Manager was unfriendly. Closing time should be listed as 1:30am and not 2am because 2nd floor is unusable when lights are completely off.David C.

This place could make so much more money, considering it's a getaway for rich gay men... it's so huge, that even if theres 1000 people inside, maybe they wont meet each other? Gay guys love the dark places, but its useless when you hace 1000 dark places to explore inside. And yes, you have to pay extra to have a cabin... but wait, will u go back if u paid extra and in the end you didnt meet anyone? Such a waste of good business.Jonas Schmitt
07:30 18 Sep 22
I find it so so.+ staff was nice+ gets nicely crowded+ large enough- the crowd really isn’t that great- the actual action space is a little too separated / odd space to get people together.- the largest part of the darkroom is so dark that you can’t even tell if you’re about to run into someone, yet alone seeing whether you’re attracted to them.Alan H.

If I could give this place 6 stars out of 5, I would. Huge, beautiful, modern, clean facility with comprehensive amenities, including a bar and a beautiful rooftop patio/pool. Unquestionably the nicest men's sauna I've ever enjoyed. Friendly service and an endless parade of gorgeous guys.Juan Bonilla

Great place to get away. My only concern is the number of cameras filming throughout the property. I'm talking locker room showers etc... At one point while grabbing a water i got a peek of staff gathering around the screen to watch footage from a shower stall. I hope there's no leaks from this place. Other than that, friendly staff and a good time.Bradley Scalio
03:15 22 Apr 22
Despite the shady iron gate and narrow stairs up, the reception area and staff greet you with friendly and judgement free customer service that puts you to rest if nervous or discrete. Quick 400 pesos for non locals, you get a sarong, towel, and slippers for that price as well as a locker with key and key band.The facilities smell and appear clean.It's a bit cavernous, which is good, and alot of space is given to the private rooms, but as someone who's not a sauna guy I was impressed and surprised.Tony A.

Great layout. Lots of spaces to cruise. Crowded with lots of hot guys. Clean. Definitely recommend it.Andreas Beez

At the weekend you pay 300 pesos. The location is nice and big, international standard. At the sunset starts action. More a bit older man but also cute Mex body. Good place for fun. 2 times I enjoyGuillermo T.

First bathhouse experience and it was super accommodating and comfortable. I loved the steam room, roof top pool and the hot tub.John Anderson
01:09 28 Feb 21
This place is not your average "bathhouse". First of all - it's very clean and doesn't have the sort of sketchy feel you have when you go to other similar places.The hot tub area is very nice and relaxing with ample room to keep your distance from others if you wish. They have a waterfall feature which is a nice touch.They have two wet saunas - when I went one had a nice pore opening essential oil that may have been eucalyptus. The other didn't seem to have that and that one had several guests more focused on socializing. It was good to have two options. They have your standard dry sauna as well.The "dark room" was a scaled down version of your typical gay bathhouse maze with the expected appointments. When I went this area was not very busy but I can imagine it would be at different hours.One thing I found unique about this place is that it has a bar on its rooftop where you can socialize and enjoy cocktails. Some people come here just for that.Price wise this place is extremely inexpensive and this means you don't feel like if you pay to get in that you have to stay for hours. You can pop in check it out relax for a short time and go if you wish.All in all this is one of the best bathhouses I have been to and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are visiting Puerto Vallarta. Will definitely return again!chris Ohalloran

Generally, i have enjoyed it in the past. Can't tell this year, because apparently I'm too old. Maybe that should be featured prominently on the website, or at least at the entrance, before going through the health protocol (where my numbers were fine). I get it, but let's not waste each other's time. And get front desk clerks who can read ID. I had to tell him my DOB. Had I known...J O Brandy Fanatic!

Loved the place. I visited it yesterday. However it turned out to be a bad experience. Left my sunglasses in the locker and when i went back to request staff to check the locker, he wanted to charge me 100 pesos to get in. After I insisted, he allowed me to check it and of course the sunglasses were not there. The staff said they did not find anything in the locker. I went back after talking to the manager over the phone. He said there were 2 sunglasses in their lost and found. I went back to check them and sadly they weren't my sunglasses. So just a warning if you are going in here, make sure you don't forget anything because you most likely will not get it back.Brian H.

Love Spartacus! Neat clean and friendly. The video room is where much of the action is...the guys sure did like my plus size . I really like the rooftop; with naked tanning, pool, showers and a bar.I usually have a beer and stroke until someone wants to suck me!😃Alan H.

This place was extremely friendly everybody was nice and the place was clean there is a bar and the fourth floor and or tender is very handsome and nice. They give you Sandos tomorrow for the night if you buy a locker or in a room rooms usually cost 300 pesos and August 200. The peak time is after the park closes which is at 2 AM.
