Club La Vela
Reviews
Never again.
Club La Vela is overrated, nasty, and poorly managed... perhaps sad remains of what may have been a decent night club at one point. The bathrooms are disgusting and disheveled; the toilet seats fall off, and the doors don't close. This club only cares about how much money they can extract from anyone, but it's obvious that very little money is invested to upkeep it or make it nice. During the winter months, they are extremely frugal! The heaters are there, but they won't turn them on, the drinks are always expensive, and the music selection sucks. These DJ's they hire don't know how to work a crowd or play good dancing music. La Vela reminds me of an older woman, doing all she can to hold on to her youth, but the only thing left over is a "give me your money and get the hell out of here attitude." Poor customer service, crappy overpriced drinks, expensive covers, nasty establishment, and bad DJ's, truly express that message. I live here in PC, love to dance, but I would rather go elsewhere than to support such shabby business ethics. Club La Vela could be a sophisticated nightclub, but they rather be a tasteless greedy bar. To each his own I suppose, but La Vela is a major disappointment in night clubs.
Not what I'd expected. It is HUGE! That was what I expected. The outside is amazing. The inside....not so much so. The room where they have bands...isn't well equipped should they ever have anyone 'big' in there. The dance area, isn't all that big. Dance floor is big, but you would think that with a nightclub of its size, the dance floor would have been bigger...upstairs - downstairs. Really cool layout. But...it's def for the young at heart or ppl that are in search of watching half naked girls dance on columns and such. The Country section is AWESOME....IF I ever go back, that will be where I can be found the entire time unless the backside where the pool is, is able to be enjoyed.
Some of the worst customer service I've seen anywhere. Security manager tries saying its private property so they can do whatever they want. Avoid at all costs. Check out Spinnaker's or any other club instead.
This place was the dank, dark awesome hole I hoped it would be. After dark it becomes a grimy pit of sloppy, drunken iniquity, which is just what most people are looking for on Spring Break. I cannot sing its praise any higher.
