Cancun is one of the liveliest tourist resorts in Mexico, if not Central America. Each year this glitzy Vegas-style resort on Mexico’s Caribbean coast attracts party-goers, culture lovers, and adventurers from all over the world. Cancun’s nightlife is legendary, with a whole host of fun themed bars, restaurants, live music venues, and night clubs. One night you could be swinging your hips in a salsa club in Downtown Cancun, the next, partying on a stage in the Hotel Zone. From sophisticated speakeasy style lounges to Indian-themed clubs and restaurants which transform into party central – there really is no other place to be in the world for nightlife!
Señor Frogs
Señor Frog’s slogan is ‘Saving the World from Boredom’ and it certainly lives up to the hype. During the day, this family-friendly restaurant appeals to all with Mexican favorites on the menu, such as quesadillas, loaded nachos, and chicken taco salad, but after 9 pm, the restaurant transforms into one of the most popular (and wildest) clubs in Cancun. You can let your hair down and dance on the stage or find yourself covered in bubbles at a foam party while sampling some of the bars most potent cocktails.

Mandala
Mandala is the perfect place to immerse oneself in music and dance. The Indian-themed club isn’t as fast-paced as Coco Bongo and Señor Frogs, but it’s now the hottest ticket in town.

The bar is attached to a beach club which is open during the day, and on Tuesday evenings, the party moves to pristine white sands for a buzzing pool party. Music in the club is an upbeat mix of electronic, pop, hip hop, and reggaeton and as most nights are themed, you get to enjoy a Cancun carnival and spring break all in the same week!
