Café del Museo, Cozumel

This very relaxing, pretty café on the roof of Cozumel’s museum (see Museo de Cozumel) has a great view of the waterfront and good coffee. Tasty breakfasts and snacks too.
Capricho, Puerto Aventuras

Puerto Aventuras’ own disco-bar is unpredictable – sometimes quiet, sometimes buzzing. The music is eclectic.
Captain Hook’s Pirate Night, Cancún

Dinner cruises are normally more sedate than clubbing in Cancún, but Captain Hook’s is still pretty boisterous, with a “pirate” crew staging a battle (see Dinner Cruises, Cancún).
Carlos‘n’Charlie’s, Cozumel

Cozumel’s biggest bar-restaurant-music venue is the place where you’re assured of finding a (usually pretty raucous) crowd every night, partying in the open air to classic rock circa 1970 to 2000.
Carlos‘n’Charlie’s, Cozumel

Enjoyable, crowd-pleasing food and a non-stop, bright-and-breezy party atmosphere are the keys to the success of the Anderson group’s bar-restaurants, found all around Mexico under several jokey names – Carlos‘n’Charlie’s, Sr. Frog’s, El Shrimp Bucket. The Cozumel C‘n’C in Punta Langosta mall is one of the biggest.
Coco Bongo, Cancún

Cancún’s most high-tech, high-powered, multilevel mega-club, with a wide-ranging music menu.
Coco Bongo, Cancún

The most state-of-the-art of them all among Cancún’s mega-clubs, a vast, multilevel, multi-space venue with music that covers all the bases – techno, rock, Latin – from DJs and live bands, and a space to eat. Ultra-extravagant theme nights, live shows, and other eye-popping surprises are house specialties
Dady’O, Cancún

The college crowd’s favorite holds bikini nights, wet T-shirt competitions and other rowdy fun. Dady Rock, next door, often hosts live bands.
Dady’O, Cancún

Always the most popular among American student “Springbreakers,” this equally huge venue across the street from the Coco Bongo guarantees a noisy, down-home party atmosphere – theme parties are a permanent feature. Next door, the only slightly smaller Dady Rock is a live venue with a bar-restaurant, plus more fun and games.
Dinner Cruises, Cancún

For a slightly more sedate time try another Cancún specialty, with live shows, games, dinner, and dancing to live bands all on board as you sail around Laguna Nichupté or to Isla Mujeres. Each one is themed: Cancún Queen (from Aqua World, is like an old stern-wheeled riverboat, the Columbus Lobster Dinner Cruise is on a replica Columbus-era galleon, and Captain Hook’s Pirate Night is, of course, on a pirate ship (see Captain Hook’s Pirate Night, Cancún).
