Nightlife

 The
nightlife in Cancun is active and
loud. You'll find discos and bars
with all types of music. Some offer
laser and other start-of-the-art
light shows. Most have an all-you-can-drink
cover charge. In Cancun, things
get going after 10:30pm and often
stay rockin' until sunrise, so be
prepared to have the time of your
life! For those wanting a little
adventure at sea, try one of the
popular sunset cocktail or dinner
cruises. Dinner cruises are like
being on a floating restaurant -
a wonderful way to see the sunset
over the bay and the lights of Cancun. |

Cancun Nightlife
for the Over-30 Crowd
|
|
|
|
By
Joshua Garber, 2010 |
 Ahh,
Cancun, Mexico... A vacation
paradise with clear blue
waters, white sandy beaches,
a tourist friendly local
culture and an invigorating,
fast paced nightlife! Sounds
fantastic doesn’t it? And
that fast paced nightlife
is no joke when you’re talking
about Cancun!
Clubs such as Coco Bongo,
Señor Frogs, Dady ‘O & bulldog
take in thousands of tourists
a week with their brilliant
stage and light shows, open
bars and DJ music until
the sun comes up. These
clubs are a ton of fun with
a lot of pros, but with
expensive cover charges,
extremely loud music and
the dance floors and bars
packed to the nines, they
also bare a few cons as
well.
So where does a tourist
go if they are not into
the fast paced nightlife
scene anymore? What if you
just want to relax in a
nice club or restaurant
where you can hear yourself
talk, maybe catch some great
live entertainment without
a high cover charge? Located
on the South end of the
Hotel Zone, you will find
such a place in Pancho &
Willy’s @ Captain’s Cove,
and every taxi driver in
Cancun knows Captain’s Cove.
Looking to secure business
from the over-30 age market,
the owners of Captain’s
Cove, The Royal Resorts,
knew that a lot of their
owners in their resorts
did not have a place where
they could go to relax and
let their hair down. When
Hurricane Wilma destroyed
Captain’s Cove in 2005,
operators of the resorts
listened to their owners
and added a late night location
to Captain’s Cove that they
could just walk across the
street to without going
to the noisy clubs in the
party zone.
Captain’s Cove offers
a very nice and affordable
seafood menu, while P& W’s
has a lighter menu. On Monday,
Wednesday & Friday nights
you can enjoy Chubby’s Karaoke
starting at 9pm. And this
is no ordinary karaoke show.
With hosting shows for over
20 years, this entertainment
company provides something
for everyone that walks
into the bar that wants
to enjoy a cocktail or three!
Above P& W’s stage hangs
a giant 15ft wide by 12ft
tall video screen where
patrons can sing along from
their seats with the words
from every karaoke song.
If you feel like hitting
the stage and singing yourself,
Chubby’s Karaoke boasts
a library of over 25,000
songs to sing and over 11,000
videos to play on the big
screen. And what if you
are not much of a karaoke
enthusiast? Not to worry.
In between every karaoke
singer or just when the
crowd gets in a dancing
mood, Chubby’s Karaoke plays
a variety of music videos
ranging from clips of The
Beatles on The Ed Sullivan
Show, to your favorite Lady
Gaga hit! This is definitely
one of the most entertaining
shows in the Hotel Zone,
and all without a cover
charge!
If karaoke is still not
your cup of tea, P& W’s
offers you one of the best
bands in Cancun. Every Tuesday
night at 10pm, FLASHBACK
hits the stage playing all
of your favorite hits in
English and Spanish from
the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s
on up to the hits of today!
Flashback has been entertaining
patrons in Cancun for over
15 years and has been playing
P& W’s since their opening
in 2006.
So if you are not looking
to pay a big cover charge
and dance till 5am with
the younger crowd in the
one of the big clubs in
the Party Zone of Cancun,
chances are you are over
30, but not dead yet. You
are still on vacation and
looking to go out and enjoy
a night on the town, just
a slightly quieter one right?
Then Captain’s Cove and
Pancho & Willy’s is for
you. Happy Hour is from
4pm to 6pm every day at
P& W’s and has one of the
most breathtaking sunset
views in all of Cancun.
Captain’s Cove and Pancho
& Willy’s is located on
the shores of the lagoon
opposite The Royal Mayan
& Omni Hotels, Blvd. Kukulcan,
Km 16.5, in the Hotel Zone.
