Cancun is famous for party! It is home of bustling nightlife, and is among the best places in Latin America to get wild on a party. No wonder Cancun is considered to be one of the premier destinations for spring breakers and party goers as it boasts of dozens of nightclubs and hundreds of bars. Cancun as a party resort town rages from before dusk to the early dawn. Intense and various Cancun nightlife offers the gamut from world-class discotheques, live salsa, and jazz clubs to solo guitar and folkloric dancers. Cancun has something for everyone, and this is particularly true after dark.

The heart of the Cancun party experience, the Hotel Zone bounces to mixed beats from mariachi and jazz, reggae, rock and more. The majority of live music clubs start working rather early to take advantage of the dinner crowd. Disco clubs usually open later, catering state-of-the-art technology and the newest beats to keep you dancing until nearly sun-up. Famous discos are the Coco Bongo and Dady'O, while rockers enjoy the Bulldog Cafe and the Hard Rock. If you are a jazz lover, then head for the Havana Club in the Hotel Zone and Roots downtown for blends of Latin, Cuban and jazz traditions.

The Plaza Forum by the Sea, and La Isla Shopping Village are the hottest centers of action in the Hotel Zone. Numerous restaurants have double duty as party centers with specials and waiters who may get up on stage and dance in between serving drinks. One more way to experience the best that Cancun nightlife boasts of is to take a bar-hopping tour. Senor Frog's Bar Leaping Tour is one of the most popular tours. The "Froguibus" will take you from club to club-- where you'll bypass any lines and spend about two hours in each place. The cost usually includes VIP entry to the clubs, one welcome drink at each stop on the tour, and transportation by air-conditioned bus, so you could get a great sampling of Cancun's nightlife.

If you want to experience the taste of how the locals like to party, check out one of the Salsa clubs or the clubs in the downtown area. The downtown Parque de las Palapas usually has a free evening concert in and there are some excellent jazz clubs featuring local musicians. Want to taste some authentic Mexican nightlife, then head to one of the local cantinas, or join a fiesta at one of the downtown restaurants for a true Mexican party experience with sombreros and mariachi bands.

Cancun has become one of the most popular, celebrated destinations in Latin America. It is easy for Cancun visitors to expect that they will have the time of their lives, as there are so many choices and so much to do.
