The Nightlife in Cancun has so many
choices, the here you can play all night... the rest all
day.
Welcome to Mexico. One of the first
Spanish words you’ll probably learn here is fiesta--
and for good reason. In Cancun, partying takes precedence
over just about everything. This is a resort city that never
sleeps, which means your hotel room is just about the last
place you want to be at night.
Nightlife
in Cancun runs from the romantic to the outrageous; few
people can resist its glamour, spontaneity and splash, which
is why this island is anything but deserted when the sun
goes down.
So to help you live it up like a tourist
and to get around like a Cancunense (a term used to describe
locals), we’re going to teach you the lingo and the
latest in this city’s relentless, never-ending nightlife.
Just outside
your hotel lies a sparkling 22-kilometer (14mi.) stretch
of pulsating clubs, Caribbean extravaganzas and live music
bars. But perhaps the best place to begin your nocturnal
adventure is right at your own hotel.
Margarita and cervesa (beer) are useful
words to learn before you start off your evening. Both are
served up during hotel happy hours-usually between 5 and
7 p.m. One can witness a spectacular sunset while sipping
frozen tropical drink specials or puffing a fine Cuban cigar.
Most resort hotels offer live lobby music ranging from rock
to salsa. The rhythm of the evening sets in as the balmy
breeze blows and a canopy of stars fill the night sky.
Cancun
is a musical hub in the Mexican Caribbean. One can find talented
musicians who play everything from meringue and salsa to flamenco.
Some of the finest Cuban musicians and dancers are featured
at various clubs, bars and restaurants. Throughout the year
the city plays host to various outdoor concerts and music
festivals such as the annual Jazz festival, which is held
each May.
Cancun
will dazzle you with its trendy, high-energy club scene.
Multi-million-dollar discos line the hotel Zone like glittering
stars. Their ultra-modern, even garish architecture is enough
to stop traffic, as are their long lines. The inside of
these discos is just as mind boggling, with great special
effects, laser shows and multi-level dance floors, where
people discover the late night pulse of the city. From rock
to reggae, to salsa and techno jam, you’ll find all
types of music playing in the discos. For those who like
to have a drink and just watch, many clubs are subdivided
into sections with live music bars on one side and dance
floors on the other.
Cancun
bars move to a different beat offering live music and usually
ySenor Frog's - Cancunou will find smaller crowds. Keep
in mind that downtown bars are more provincial and cater
mainly to the locals rather than the tourists. It’s
in downtown that you can find real Mexican cantinas with
laid back atmospheres and complimentary botanas (snacks)
as well as a variety of bar-restaurants.
