El Café Cito, Isla Mujeres

This mellow place, a few streets from the beach, offers excellent breakfasts and superior coffee and fresh juice combos later in the day.
El Carrousel, Pisté

The perfect place to cool off after a tour of Chichén Itzá. Tables beneath a palm roof strewn with colorful streamers, an atmosphere that’s relaxed, tasty food, and drinks aplenty.
El Edén, Mérida

A snug, out-of-the-way bar in the patios of an old house, with distinctly quirky decor of tangled wood and old furniture and lots of intimate corners.
El Paraíso, Tulum

Many of the cabaña-clusters along Tulum beach have bars, but Paraíso, near the ruins, has the best view, with a big terrace for catching the breeze.
Fat Tuesday, Cozumel

This relaxed, rustic-looking nights pot fe a tures a fun mixture of pop, rock, hip and salsa music.
Flamingos, Progreso

One of Progreso’s most enjoyable big terrace bar-restaurants, with tasty ceviches to go with the beer.
Fly, Playa del Carmen

The sleekest hip hotel in Playa, Deseo (see Deseo, Playa del Carmen) also houses the trendiest bar in town, with ultra-stylish designer décor, booming dance music, and a range of elaborate cocktails. It attracts a young, attractive, internationally style-conscious crowd to match the surrounds.
Fly, Playa del Carmen

A spectacular chrome-and-glass bar that wouldn’t be out of place in New York or Miami Beach. Luminous house cocktails are the cool specialty.
Hard Rock Café, Cozumel

The Mayan-style architecture of the building makes this a s tunning location for the rock memorabilia chain. Occasional live music.
Hard Rock Café, Cozumel

The familiar burgers-and-rock‘n’roll format found the world over is right by the waterfront in Cozumel. Live rock bands perform every night. There’s also a big Hard Rock in Cancún, in the Forum by the Sea Mall.
