  2. Dady'O

    Opposite the Forum Mall, this is one of Cancún's more elaborate dance clubs.

The predominant beats are Latin, house, techno, trance and hip-hop, and the crowd is mainly 20-something.

  3. La Boom

    La Boom has in its purchase a varied and (relative to neighbouring clubs, that is) sophisticated selection of danceable tunes on high rotation, all played to full effect at mega decibels. Loud and cool.

  6. Roots

    Pretty much the hippest bar in Ciudad Cancún, Roots features jazz, reggae or rock bands and the occasional flamenco guitarist. It's also a pretty decent restaurant, serving pasta, salads, seafood and meat dishes. Thursday seems to be the best night for catching nice tunes with a crowd.
