Nightlife

Nightlife in Cancun usually begins with a sunset cruise or happy hour in a local hotel or bar, followed by dinner. Many restaurants have live music. Afterwards, you can catch a show at the convention center, perhaps a ballet or a Flamenco show. Of course, there are also lots of discos that stay open all night.
