Nothing beats Cancun's night clubs

Nightclubs and discotheques offer special promotions and some lively contests, usually during the week. Nightlife in Cancun’s hotel zone is extremely varied. You will find some of the largest discotheques in the world and restaurants with some of the world’s most famous chefs as well as fast-food outlets. If you are looking for a calmer atmosphere, there are jazz or piano bars, as well as those with traditional mariachi music.

Cancun is famous all over the world for it's nightlife. When the sun goes down and a few drinks have been consumed Cancun really does spring to life. The nightlife starts late here in the clubs (usually earlier in restaurants) and can last into the wee hours of the next day. Live music and DJ style music is featured in nightclubs and some interesting shows are occasionally featured. If you do a little homework you should be able to find something to interest anyone in you group.

Modern clothing is recommended when going out at night: closed-toed shoes and long pants for men; for women, a light summer dress. Nevertheless, sometimes the discos organize contests and games where one may end up wet: keep this in consideration and come prepared.

Many of the different establishments have promotions each day of the week, like "ladies night," "2x1," etc. Check with the establishment before planning your Cancun club adventure. We recommend that you take only enough cash to pay for taxis and tips, use a credit card or only take the money you may need and be ready to have a good time.

The hotel zone's discos open their doors at 10:00 p.m. and allow entry until 2:00 a.m. most of the time. All require a cover charge or entrance fee from $10 to $20 US dollars. The hotel zone has five main discos, all aimed at the young people that enjoy alternative or rock music. With all the nightclubs in Cancun you are certain to find one that you will enjoy going to.
