Coco Bongo Tickets

Coco Bongo is a lot more than just a club; it’s Cancún’s premier nightlife experience, so much so that it’s often described as Las Vegas meets Cirque du Soleil, but with an energetic, Mexican twist to it. It’s conveniently located in the heart of Cancún’s Hotel Zone, putting it right on the edge of the Caribbean Sea. The entire experience is spread across four different venues, all within walking distance of each other. These are the Coco Bongo Show & Disco, the Congo Bar, the Bongo Bar (located inside Playa CocoBongo, and the Coco Bongo Beach Party.

In fact, you’ll also find a Coco Bongo Show & Disco in Playa del Carmen, so you won’t miss out on the fun even if you’re not put up in Cancún.

Overview:

• Location: All four venues in Cancún are located within the Hotel Zone and are just a 2-minute walk from each other.

Things to know before booking Coco Bongo tickets 

• If your goal is to experience the best of Coco Bongo in Cancún, the Coco Bongo Show & Disco tickets are your best bet. These tickets get you a night of festivities unlike anywhere else, along with an open bar serving unlimited domestic or premium beverages, depending on which ticket you choose. 
  
• All ticket options to the Coco Bongo Show (right from the regular entry tickets to the front row passes) get you a snack to munch on. 
  
• On a tight budget, but don’t want that keeping you from this experience? Book the regular entry tickets - this gets you access to the general area, along with unlimited drinks from the bar’s standard menu. 
  
• On the other hand, if you want priority seating and seamless entry to the venue (considering how busy it can get), you should go for the VIP Member ticket. The cherry on top, however, are the front-row tickets, which get you seating right up front, giving you an unobstructed view of the night’s activities. And if you’re someone who loves being pulled up on the stage, this is the place to be! 
  
• You can also choose from the same set of ticket options if you want to visit Coco Bongo in Playa del Carmen. 

How to plan your day around a visit to Coco Bongo

Cancún has four different venues, two of which are open during the day, with the other two open at night. This gives you plenty of flexibility to plan your itinerary around what you want your experience to look like. While a lot of visitors to Cancún set aside an entire ‘Coco Bongo day,’ you can always get a taste of the experience in 4-5 hours. Here are a few ways you can plan your day:

• Relaxing beach day + Coco Bongo Show at night: Laze around at the beach in the Hotel Zone overlooking the Caribbean Sea during the day, sneak in a nap in the afternoon, and then hit the Coco Bongo Show & Disco after an early dinner. 
  
• Isla Mujeres by day + Coco Bongo by night: Visit Isla Mujeres and indulge in snorkeling, jer-skiing, or parasailing during the day, grab an afternoon siesta, and then visit the Congo Bar or the Coco Bongo Show & Disco at night. 
  
• Discover Yucatán’s history by day + Coco Bongo by night: Go on a day trip, visiting the ruins in Tulum, at Chichen Itza, and take a dip in a cenote by day. Then, grab some rest in the evening before indulging in a night of adrenaline-pumping festivities. 
  
• Bongo Bar/Beach Party by day + early dinner: Start your day at the Bongo Bar when it opens at 10am and then hit the Beach Party post 1pm as you enjoy sipping on beverages and swimming in the pool. Grab some rest in the evening, and wind up your day with an early dinner.

Tips to make the most of your Coco Bongo experience 

• The Coco Bongo Show can get incredibly crowded, which is no surprise considering everyone wants a taste of the best nightlife in Cancún. This is why it’s best that you avoid wearing any jewelry that might draw too much attention, as a precautionary measure. 
  
• Carry a messenger or waist bag in which you store all your essentials like your wallet, phone, and other valuables. Keep this slung in front of you at all times. 
  
• Try entering the venue before 10pm. The night’s first act, the Samba Carnival kickoff, is a must-see and sets the stage for all the excitement yet to follow. Additionally, getting there early means you stand a higher chance of being closer to the stage, rather than being packed away at the back. 
  
• If you don’t want to find yourself waiting in long lines, especially on a weekend, try arriving well before 9pm. Some visitors mention lines extending to the next block, which will only tire you out before the night even begins!
  
• Carrying a pair of earplugs can be surprisingly helpful, especially when you need a break from the constantly loud noise levels. This is especially helpful if you’re that one holdout who’s unwittingly been dragged along for a night of clubbing. 
  
• The open bar with unlimited beverages can be tempting, but make sure to drink in moderation, especially since you’ll be in a heavily crowded venue all night.
