    Tamara, Brian and the others are the best. We always return for the service first and drinks/vibes second.

    A true tiki bar, from the drinks to the theming. Friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging server and bar staff. Felix offered expert advice on all menu items, including some background on drink preparation. Permanent Vacation lived up to all our expectations.

    Outstanding! Our experience began before we even entered the bar with our travel agent describing our future experience. Upon entering, the decor and details were amazing and on point. Our party ordered 9 different cocktails to try and share—each was delicious with a different flavor profile, and some had amusing or video-worthy experiences and mugs. We have been to dozens of tiki bars all over the world, and this ranked in the top 3 for me. We will definitely be back. It’s worth the wait—do not hesitate to book PV.

    Really cool atmosphere and great food. I did think the drinks were pricey and there could be more options without rum that could still fit into the theme. Overall though I had a great time and everyone was so nice.

    The overall themed entrance and bar were great. Unique fun and festive. The drinks are pretty strong and the food menu is challenging as tapas are themed and not much for the average folks. The puma braised pork was delicious. Flat bread Bruce was also good. So of our party just had drinks as food was too funky. Decorations fabulous and lightening and special touches and design of menu was great. I think you have to go once and bring folks on holidays too. Hoping for more middle of the road menu to accommodate everyone. Service folks made the experience fun from the entrance to the exit of the evening.

    We have continually enjoyed visiting this establishment. The staff is amazing friendly, the food is good, and there are plenty of solid drink options. This is well worth visiting, especially if you like tropical drinks and want fun tiki experience.
