🎉 Cancun Party Tips

👔Dress code: No sandals or shorts at Coco Bongo and Mandala. Wear clean sneakers or closed shoes and smart casual clothing.

💰Tipping: Leave 15-20% at bars and clubs. Servers rely on tips. At open bar venues, $20-50 MXN per drink speeds up service.

🚕Safe ride home: Use hotel taxis or ride apps (Uber/InDriver) to get back. Never take unauthorized taxis late at night.

🍹Pre-game: Club drinks are pricey. Pre-game at your hotel or a nearby OXXO before heading out.

🎫Buy online: Coco Bongo tickets are cheaper online than at the door. Book ahead during peak season.

💧Stay hydrated: Alternate alcoholic drinks with water. Tropical heat plus alcohol dehydrates you twice as fast. Bring cash and a card.
