    Awesome views

    Wonderful spot for an evening cocktail with a great view over the water. Service was first class and super friendly. Laura treated us like old friends and even had the kitchen cook a chicken breast to give to our dog! We will definitely be back and we highly recommend this place!

    Such an amazing spot, facing the ocean, space heater by my side and a smooth hookah. They go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, blanket to keep you warm and relaxed! Perfect after long crazy day! My new favorite spot in long beach

    First and foremost the vibe of this place is amazing! Our host Santi was nothing shy but a gem to our service and always followed up with the change and movement of the stones. Kindly offering food and drinks His knowledge overall of the area and of hookah made mine and my partners experience that much more pleasant. Definitely a place i would recommend again and again

    Ambiance and view is the best here at Maya hotel and hooka. Food is also available. Service with a smile.

    Was my first time, last night. Wow! Beautiful view and the set up is just very nice, oasis vibes. My bestie and I tried the food, very delicious. Hookah service was just too good, very attentive. Very good place for date night or to catch up with friends! You can go casual or you can also go dressed up to this place. Definitely my new hookah spot from now on. Thank you Ash for your service!

    We just happened to look for Hooka lounge, but found a beautiful place next to the water and a beautiful restaurant by the water. The view was amazing the restaurant was beautiful with ocean view! The staff was wonderful especially the manager Miguel Montes he treated us well! Thank you for your great service we will be coming back!

    So nice

    So fucking cute. Gives Tulum vibes. The hookah is good and the custumer service is good. Such an awesome hidden gem!

    Regretful experience Visited on a Friday night for hookah and vibes however, Maya missed the mark on both. The hookah was harsh and unsmokeable, every draw was rough and with every puff I coughed. Beware, the space does not have music, speakers or wait staff.

    Although I don't smoke cigarettes, but I am getting into hookah slowly these days, I love the fruity flavors, as long as I don't inhale it all, just blow it out, I guess it's OK to smoke it once in a while, I like the exotic decor and cushions, makes me feel extremely relaxed! This hookah lounge is very small, just a tiny courtyard in the back of the Fuego restaurant, not too many seatings, if there is a large party, the only bed and couch are all taken. We sat at the tall seatings for a while, and asked server to move our hookah to the actual restaurant patio area, it was so nice to sit close to the ocean, night views were amazing. I tried the grape flavor, our server told me it was his favorite with a little bit of mint, I need to try that next time! All servers were very friendly and attentive, the grape flavored hookah was very smooth and fruity, I loved it! Truly a hidden gem tucked in waterfront long beach, the beautiful lights of Queen Mary, yachts, boats and downtown long beach across the ocean were so nice, perfect spot for a date night, so lovely! Ps. Servers recommend to order drinks from the bar, I guess it's different company, so, hubby just ordered our drinks from the bar the entire night. Hookah lounge opens at 5pm till late night.

    Hookah by the fire! (And the ocean!!)

    After reading some of the bad reviews, I was a tiny bit skeptical about coming here but it was walking distance from our hotel down the way so we gave it a try. And I will say, five stars is fully deserved. The Maya Hookah Lounge is located behind the Maya hotel, with an ocean view. They have a giant fire pit that was really pleasant to sit by. When we got there, it was practically dead. There was one other group of three besides my boyfriend and I. The guy working was so nice and helpful. We were a top priority and we felt it. After a while, it started to get busier but that didn't stop the awesome service we received. There were only two employees working last night and they were top notch. The girl was super sweet and brought new coals over to us without us even asking. The guy checked up on us frequently, making sure we didn't need anything. They both made themselves very available to us. The hookah part of the experience was also amazing. We ordered the AK-47 flavor. It was soooo yummy. I don't think I have ever had a smoother flavor. And it lasted so long. We were there for probably about two hours and by the time we left, our smoke was still so strong. One more thing that really stood out to me was that, they are linked to a restaurant but do not work for the restaurant. However, that didn't stop them from asking us if we would like anything and going and ordering it for us (and bringing it to us) when they didn't even work at the restaurant.(we ordered the Mayan Quesadilla and it was phenomenal. Pricey but I highly recommend it) They were so kind and accommodating. The views were awesome, the vibe was so fun, and the people were really freaking good at their jobs. They ran circles to keep us all happy. We will definitely be back any chance we get. What an awesome time!

    Went there with my boyfriend and we had great customer service, cool little spot. The only thing is that they don't have access to the kitchen, so you can't really order food/beverages but they will make it as easy as possible if needed. I like that the place was quiet because you get to talk and just relax. It would be nice if they had some calming music at least but it's cool. I liked the customer service and it was different.

I was asked to leave on two separate occasions due to situations involving other patrons, despite not being the person causing the issue. What was most difficult was that I was never given a clear timeline or explanation of what needed to happen before I would be welcome back. As a result, I found myself periodically checking in and asking for updates, only to eventually be allowed back without any clear communication about what had changed. It was an uncomfortable experience that made me feel like I had to repeatedly seek approval just to return to a place I genuinely enjoyed. I understand businesses have to make judgment calls and maintain a safe environment, but I did not feel the situation was handled transparently or fairly. The rooftop itself is lovely, but the way this was managed left a lasting negative impression.

    This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.

Honestly thought it was the bar that we came inside. First impression, why did we need reservations.... Since we didn't know the hidden entrance. Well, it's a cool concept once we entered. There's a dress code so be advised. What I found out was the entrance of the speakeasy was through a phone booth that next to the pool table of Roxanne's bar. Once reservations is made, you'll received an email with a password to enter. Enter phone booth and to connect to the inside and they'll open the door for you. We had the first reservations I believe they opened at 7pm. We were the first group to arrive. As it was my first time, we had ordered bar food and were waiting for it inside the main bar. So half an hour was used from our time limit. The speakeasy, dark and moody but perfect for the place. Special crafted cocktails by the bartenders which were great. They also have food as well, found out later. We did try the meat pie, which it was just ok. Basically an empanadas, the pickle veggies accompanied it was my favorite. It was good but nothing major to rave about. The drinks were quite nice and tasty. What they offered on the menu did have a load of good choices. Tables scattered throughout as well as bar seating. There's a piano which maybe used for live music. Overall, the moody speakeasy vibe was great. Friendly staff and bartender made some great drinks. What we had to snack on, the meat pie was just ok. They're very strict with the time limits. Once it's reached they'll let you know.

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

    This is definitely a place with a very Long Beach vibe (so it really depends on what you think…read moreabout Long Beach in general). The seating is a little funky, but the drinks are solid.

When we…read moregot there it was a bit crowded but hey that is the nature of the game sometimes when going out to bars. So that didn't bother me too much. Me and my girls were able to get 3 seats at the bar. Like much of the other reviews. Service was slow and it took a long time to get a drink. However, as the night went on the crowd grew bigger and there were only 2 servers so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. That alone is not why I gave this place 1 star. I have came to this bar a few times in the past. It has been a couple of years since I have been back but my past experiences had been pleasant. At first everything was cool. Even with service being slow me and my girls were just talking and vibing with each other and those around us. We met some pretty cool people there. They have a small dance floor and we had a few drinks in us so went dancing. It was a great time. We ended up getting warm from the dancing and wanted to get a breather outside. We saw the door to the patio was open and people were outside. So we walked out and were just talking. One of my crew was smoking a cigarette. Then 2 of the staff members came out furious completely bypassing the other tables of people sitting outside and came directly to us. They started screaming and cussing at us saying we weren't supposed to be outside. One of them said "isn't it obvious can't you read?!" One of my friends said "no wasn't obvious" and my sister in law was telling them to calm down and that we would go inside. She told them that they were being incredibly rude because they were people outside and we thought it was open. As we went inside they still berated us. Two grown men yelling and cussing at us now from inside the bar. So we had hand enough and talked back because we were not going to be verbally attacked at a place that we spent money and our time at. We ended up deciding to leave and as we decided to leave, they followed us out and slammed the door on us and said that we weren't allowed in. Still yelling and cussing at us through the gated door. I started filming shortly around this time because I felt unsafe. Then they started mocking us saying "now look they are going to leave us a bad review." and I said yes we are because this experience was horrifying. I asked was because of our race? (because we were a diverse group of women). It went from two grown men yelling at us to silence. I want to make this clear. Though there were other people sitting outside that night. Lighter skinned people. We were the only ones targeted. No other individual outside was treated this way and no other staff intervened. If you are a woman. If you are of color, do not come here. We are not welcome.

They do have a live DJ and it reminds me of a speakeasy but one where you don't have to speak so easy. Bartender was great and he served up pretty mean good drinks. Def recommend!
