 Night
life
Cancun is the best place to have fun at night. If you’re
looking to dance to the beat of Latin rhythms, we recommend
the Cocobongo, located in Plaza Forum. For those who like
pop and electronic music, The City, El Alebrije and La
Boom are good options. For live music, check out Dady
Rock, El Bulldog, or The Hard Rock Café. |
