Really? I had no idea you were a fan of dance music? You should post in here more often! What sorta stuff are you into?
I've heard the same about Cancun by the way, so I'm not sure exactly what its like - other than it has apparently the biggest clubbing scene in the world - which can't be bad
Perhaps Fabi or someone could enlighten us.
And how old did you think I was? Do I sound that old? :undecide:
Okay Ill tell you everything about Cancun
Cancun has a quite big nightlife mostly because its a really small place and it has like 10+ clubs that are open everyday
Ive heard that when its the high season (spring break I guess) it gets really crazy
I went in offseason and I stayed at the hotel where MTV usually does all the tapings (this yea they did it at The City though) and its really cool because most hotels in Cancun you can buy in packages so that means youre gonna stay there seven nights and its all inclusive, food whenever you want and national alcohol. Its a great deal because Mexico has really good and recognized beer, tequila and rum among other things. The food was quite nasty but who cared when you go to Cancun its not like you want to go and taste the best chefs of the region
Before I keep with this description I have tosay that Cancun is a very americanized place, even mexicans say that, everyone speaks english, dollars are accepted everywhere and theyre used to tourists. Most music youll hear in mainstream clubs will be american music, lots of rap, hiphop and pop but there are also clubs where they only play techno.
So that said, since I stayed at a hotel thats very popular among young people, they have like a weekly schedule planned with all the most popular clubs (I guess most hotels have it) so everyone ends up going to the same club that night. You can buy your bracelet right there at the hotel and they provide free transportation to the club. The bracelets are mostly $25-$35 but they are open bar and free access to the vip section (I guess the VIP bracelet costs more when its high season)
Cancun is a very small place and all the hotels are together on a line and most clubs are near from each other, and there is a local bus that goes by everywhere like every five minutes 24 hours so when you get out of the club you just get on the bus. Its like a dollar each way
What makes Cancun really good I think is that everyone thats there is going with the same "mentality" than you, drink 24.7, have a great time, meet new people, etc
The best and most popular clubs in Cancun are:
Cocobongo: its prob the #1 club in Cancun but I didnt think it was the best and that is because they try to make it like a show, for example theres a girl that goes on stage and does an impresionation of Madonna, then 20 mins later comes a guy with like a gun that shoots fire, stuff like that. Its a nice club if youre drunk and its HUGE. Some people say its cheesy but if youre in Cancun you gotta check it out
The City: its one of the newest and it has the most advanced light system in Latin America and its the biggest club as well. Im not good with describing things in meters but this place was HUGE like three times Cocobongo. The music in this place is one of the best (mix of everything) and they usually host big djs and artists. 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas, Tiesto, PvD, The Game, Ludacris, Paul Oakenfold among others. PvD and Tiesto have been there like twice so far this year. Its also a beach club at day and they have a huge pool, waterslides etc. Its where MTV taped its spring break special this year
DadyO: I guess now its past its prime, its owned by the same people that have one in Acapulco (in Acapulco its the most 'high end' club) they play techno and dance and when I went I had a great time
Senor Frogs: its the place to go if you want to meet american people, I have no idea why americans like it so much, I heard it has a waterslide and a pool
Hope that helped! its a bit too long
