CoCo Bongo Cancun

This favorite nightlife franchise boasts three locations in the Caribbean—Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Punta Cana. Each location features a huge video screen and seating on multiple levels for viewing the productions, along with festive touches like soap bubbles, balloons, confetti, and streamers. You’ll find plenty of skip-the-line booking options, and some even include an open bar for groups. This can be advantageous to avoid long lines at the door and bar during busy times.

• CoCo Bongo isn’t a traditional nightclub with a DJ, but you’ll find those nearby if you’re planning on a club crawl.

• Wear comfortable shoes since you’ll likely be standing most of the night.

• The venue can become extremely crowded, especially during peak times.

• CoCo Bongo may not be the most wheelchair accessible venue.

Located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, one block from the Caribbean Sea, CoCo Bongo is within walking distance from most accommodations. Taxis are also readily available in the area and bar-hopping tours typically include the venue on their routes. Keep in mind that most skip-the-line ticket options don’t include transportation.

On the weekends and during high season (from December to April), lines to get into CoCo Bongo can be long. If you want to avoid the crowds, stop by on a weeknight. The venue opens in the evening and doesn't close until the early hours of the morning, but the shows end a few hours earlier; however, you can stay and dance until closing. Some tickets will also give you access until half an hour before closing.

Two of Cancun’s other hot nightclubs—Carlos'n Charlie's and Señor Frog's—offer similar VIP service packages with open bar and skip-the-line access, and are located right next door to CoCo Bongo. These spots don’t offer the range of performances like CoCo Bongo, but visitors can still expect plenty of fun party vibes with a spring break–style atmosphere and funky cocktails.

Yes, CoCo Bongo Cancun is probably the most popular nightclub in Cancun—but it’s not your typical nightclub. In the heart of the Hotel Zone, it trades traditional DJs and dance floors for acrobats, live music, conga lines, and rowdy parties with video projections, air blasts, confetti, and more.

It depends on your budget and needs. VIP CoCo Bongo Cancun tickets are significantly more expensive than regular and Gold Member tickets, but they offer admission for groups (five to 15 people), a private host, bottle service, special access (no lines), and great views from a private table or section.

Shows at CoCo Bongo Cancun typically begin at 11pm and last about four hours. Opening hours are from 9pm to 3am—if you're attending a show, keep in mind that lines can be very long, especially on weekends. Arrive early, buy tickets in advance, or get VIP tickets with skip-the-line admission.

The CoCo Bongo Cancun nightclub and bar is famous for combining a Las Vegas-type live show with a Mexican party atmosphere—it's one of the top things to do in Cancun. The show has live acrobats, conga lines, music impersonators, and live music. Balloons, confetti, and soap bubbles animate the party.

As CoCo Bongo Cancun doesn't have a dress code, you can wear whatever you want within reason. The nightclub wants guests to be comfortable—jeans, shorts, sandals, and T-shirts are all good. You can also make a night of it and dress to impress without feeling out of place.

CoCo Bongo is arguably the most popular nightclub—and even attraction—in Cancun, and it throws first-rate parties and live performances daily. On the weekends and in the high season from December to April, the entrance lines can be long—stop by on a weeknight to avoid the crowds.
