The only thing(s) that are scary in Mexico are the CocoBongo nightclubs. People get so horrifically wasted that it's quite scary to watch..Other than that, we have absolutely adored exploring the east Caribbean coastline of Mexico. Seems that you guys had fun as well ;)

CocoBongo? Is that the name of the business or is that a specific kind of club? I don't think we've seen or heard of those.
We have had a lot of fun exploring Mexico. We just wish we did it sooner!
Thanks for watching :)
Yeah, it's some kind of a club. One of the promoters tricked us into going in on of these clubs in Playa Del Carmen. He told us that it's a really unique type of club that offers a variety of different quality tribute bands, performers and dancers that give it their all to make sure that you'll experience an unforgettable night of your life (the tickets go from 80-130$) per person which also includes an unlimited supply of all exclusive local alcoholic drinks and cocktails. Sounds good right ? Unfortunately, not by a long shot. We have quickly realized that we've made a big mistake. The tribude "bands" and "performers" weren't actually performing because they were just holding the mic as someone elese was playing youtube videos on the main srceen. Yes, YOUTUBE videos. Their costumes were worn out and many of the dancers were barely moving and mostly gave the impression "I'm to old for this shit". The "exclusive alcoholic drinks and cocktails" turned out to be the worst possible and the lowest quality types of drinks that we've ever came across in a club. Only one type of beer was served from a warm plastic bottle and any normal kid, found in play parks, would have made better and more balanced cocktails. For some strange reason, the majority of the crowd was really content with this kind of entertainment. Oh yeah, I forgot that me and my girlfriend went in sober while 95% of the people inside were absolutely wasted on shit quality alcohol - that came back from people's stomachs as much as it went inside, gross..
Looking back, I think that we've never felt so tricked in our entire travel history.
It's way better to spend all thay money (200$) doing some scuba diving in Cozumel, which is a wonderful island located just next to Playa Del Carmen. Sorry fro the essay, I just wanted yo portray just what kind of a place this CocoBongo really is.
See ya 😊
Oh my gosh, that sounds horrible! And expensive considering what else you could buy for your money there. Whenever we have a terrible experience like that, we post reviews everywhere we can online (yelp, tripadvisor, google, etc) to help others avoid those experience.
