Description: La Boom is located on the far end of the Hotel Zone, across the street from the Costa Real Hotel. Since it was just across the street from our hotel, we figured it couldn't hurt to go check it out. From the outside, the club looks kind of like a dark cabaret, with "La Boom" written in huge red letters over the door. Just inside the door, the bouncer stands in a small foyer, so you can't see inside the club as you pay your cover. Thursday night was Ladies Night so cover for us was only $5 for all-you-can-drink -- we figured we could leave if it sucked.
Once inside the club, we discovered that the place was DEAD. It was just before midnight and there were maybe 10 people there. But the bartenders were very friendly (they kissed us all on the hand) and hooked us up with some drinks, and we sat down near the dance floor. The dance floor was fairly large and sunken into the floor, but there was only a lone guy dancing all by himself on it. The music was hard core techno. There was plenty of seating at different levels all around the dance floor (more than in any other club I saw in Cancun), and another bar along the back wall of the club, in addition to the large square bar just inside the front door. After a while, we ended up talking to a couple of guys there (who had paid $25 to get in) and they told us we needed to go to Señor Frog's.
After talking to a bunch of different people in Cancun, they say that Wednesday night is La Boom's biggest night. They play all different kinds of music and it gets packed with people (and cover is $28 for everyone for all you can drink).
