Nightlife
When the sun goes down, Cancun comes alive with a wide range of bars and clubs that are open until around 0400. Some are open all day and all night.
Most of the tourist bars are in the Hotel Zone and many seem to be gathered in the same area on the Boulevard Kukulcan, known as the Party Zone. Although some are classy and chic, most cater for tequila swilling tourists and are rowdy and fun.
Try the The Lobby Lounge, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Retorno del Rey #36, Hotel Zone; Solarium, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Boulevard Kukulcan Km 8.5; Winners Sports Bar, Boulevard Kukulcan Km 9.5; O Ultra Lounge, Boulevard Kukulcan Km 9.5; and Señor Frog's, Boulevard Kukulcan Km 9.5.
Most of the clubs in Cancun are in the so called Party Zone. Some have live music, but most have DJs. Things tend to get going after midnight and go through to the small hours. Like the bars, they tend to be more rowdy than chic. Try Coco Bongo, The City and Dady O, all on Boulevard Kukulcan Km 9.5 in the Hotel Zone.
Many of the bars and clubs have live music. For more traditional offerings, try the following options: Noches Caribeños, at the Parque de las Palapas (main park) on Sunday nights for live tropical music and dance, or Ballet Folklorico, at the Continental Plaza Hotel, Boulevard Kukulcan Km 11, which shows the different musical traditions of Mexico.
