Ah, Coco Bongo! By far, the best disco in Cancun! Coco Bongo Disco in Cancun. Lets dive in, party down and enjoy some great music and an amazing show!
Let me start out by saying that I am not a big disco goer. My scene is much calmer. But Coco Bongo is not your run of the mill disco. This full fledged discoteque is located in the heart of the Cancun Hotel Zone. Coco Bongo also has branches in other cities of Mexico, but hey, this is a Cancun Opinion website, so let’s concentrate on OUR Coco Bongo.
Coco Bongo Disco in Cancun Location
The place is impossible to miss. It is smack in the middle of the strip, it has a gigantic electric guitar right in front and several “statues” of characters like The Mask, Superman, or Batman, depending on the season.
Step inside Coco Bongo Disco in Cancun and you are instantly dwarfed, it is that big! It features three levels of sitting, with a gigantic scenery in front, where the main show will take place, in addition to several dancing areas.
The show changes a couple of times a year, so I won’t give any specifics as to the shows that I’ve had the pleasure of watching, suffice to say they are all amazing!
Truly, Coco Bongo Disco in Cancun is an amazing place that you do not want to miss out on. Please do keep in mind that this is a bar and not a place for kids.
Whoever is in charge of choreography and music in this place, really knows what they’re doing. The shows all include electrifying music, acrobatics, air-dancing, swings, the best professional dancers in the area and a DJ that knows how to keep the crowd going after the show is over. It has often been referred to as the Las Vegas show of Mexico.
Speaking of crowds: yes, the place gets full, there isn’t much space to move around despite its dimensions, but somehow there’s always plenty of space on the dance floors.
Coco Bongo Disco in Cancun
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The drinks (after all, that’s why you’re here, right?): good, with plenty of alcohol, and yes, the prices reflect the place: they are expensive. You have, though, the option of buying one of their all-you-can-drink packages, which includes lots and lots of booze. And this is exactly what I recommend when you visit Coco Bongo Disco in Cancun!
All packages include drinks, some basic, some premium. If you get their VIP package, not only will you get lots of alcohol. You will also have your own personal butler who will constantly bring you new drinks. Quick tip! If there’s a local person in your party, then you have the option of buying the Local Package. It is priced in Mexican pesos, and includes a bottle of your choice of liquor plus a few soft drinks.
For those of you looking to eat in, Coco Bongo Cancun also offer dine-in, with a limited menu of cold and hot dishes. Nothing special here so make sure to eat well before you come. Also order some water for the table. It can get a bit hot and with alcohol in the mix. Its best to stay hydrated.
Most hotels sell prepaid tickets to Coco Bongo, but your best bet is to buy directly at the disco’s entrance, which will save you the hotel commission.
On to my rating now:
For its great performance, always varied shows, decent staff and good drinks, I rate Coco Bongo Cancun with a whopping five stars!
