Snorkel in the Underwater Museum.
COCO BONGO
Considered the spot for nightlife in Cancún, Coco Bongo isn’t your traditional nightclub. Nonstop performances from acrobats, conga lines, live bands and musician impersonators. A typical night at Coco Bongo involves projected videos, balloons, soap bubbles and confetti.
While the club is a nonstop amalgam of cocktails and dancers, there is no traditional dance floor. Coco Bongo is definitely worth a try.
Open Bar!!!!
