Coco Bongo Punta Cana

Every night feels like Saturday night at Coco Bongo, one of the most popular nightspots in Punta Cana. The stage show features some 40 dancers, trapeze artists, musicians, and gymnasts, and a basic admission ticket includes this, plus access to an open bar.

Visitors can upgrade their ticket to include skip-the-line access through a special door, reserved seating on the upper level, and premium open-bar access through the night. Tickets include bus transportation to and from your hotel, so you can leave the driving to someone else.

• Buy your tickets in advance to skip the line and avoid disappointment.

• Photography is allowed inside the show, though zoom lenses are not.

• Coco Bongo does not serve food, but snacks are available from the shop near the entrance.

• Remember to bring a photo ID and the credit card you used to purchase tickets.

• You must be over 18 to enter the club.

Coco Bongo Punta Cana is located in the commercial center of downtown Punta Cana near Dolphin Discovery, at the corner of Avenida Barceló and Carretera Higüey-Miches. A free bus picks up guests from hotels in Punta Cana, but if you miss it, you can always take a taxi.

Coco Bongo is open every night of the week until the wee hours of the morning, and performances take place throughout the night. Get there early if you want to find your seat before things get too crowded, or show up later when the party vibe is in full swing.

Punta Cana’s nightlife is nearly as legendary as its beaches. While Coco Bongo is a top choice, it’s not the only venue worth checking out. The popular Imagine Punta Cana is located inside a series of three caves—a unique setting for a night of dancing—while ORO nightclub offers two levels of space with DJs and performances by international artists. For a more local experience, consider a bar crawl by party bus.
