Coco Bongo Cancún

Coco Bongo has defined Cancún nightlife for decades. It isn't a conventional club and doesn't try to be: it's a show-club where the party is built around a nonstop run of aerial acrobatics, music tributes, and large-scale production. For most people visiting Cancún for the first time, Coco Bongo is the required stop of the night, and for many it's the sharpest memory of the trip.

Get there ahead of your entry time: lines can be long in high season and on weekends. If you want a solid view of the stage, a reserved table is worth it — the show is the main reason you're there, and where you sit changes the experience completely. Note that entry works by assigned time slot, so plan dinner to end with room to spare. And check the dress code before you head out: they ask you to come dressed up.
