The City Beach Club

  • November 15, 2005
  • Rated 3 of 5 by doonhamer32 from London , United Kingdom
Attached to The City nightclub, the beach club is a great way to work on your tan or get some swimming in. Entry was free, as part of a deal with our hotel (Caribbean Princess), as was use of the sun deck. Waiter service ensured we were never thirsty or hungry, and the few steps down onto the beach itself led to one of the quietest stretches of beach we found in Cancun. The water was perfect for swimming or just splashing around, and the Beach Club had a water slide and a water toboggan that were great fun.

The City

The City only opened in 2004, so it is the newest club in Cancun. You can’t miss it, as it’s on Cancun’s main road and looks like a city skyline from the outside with its facade of skyscrapers.

I love this club, as they play a little more serious tunes than the others. The flyers we spotted advertised upcoming DJs such as Sasha, Pete Tong, and Oakenfold, as well as events like MTV Spring Break and foam parties.

By day, the club has a beachclub with music, live entertainment, a huge wave pool, and surf-rider slide. By night, the club holds 15,000 clubbers for some of the best music sounds and light sensations in Cancun. There are three floors, and the main dance area tends to be hardcore techno and trance. Upstairs, the lounge mixes hip-hop and electronic with a more laid-back feel amongst the couches and curtains. The main dance floor was huge and spacious, with stadium seats for rests between the tunes.

The bouncers were very laid-back, and dancing on tables, bar tops, and chairs was encouraged. The only think I didn’t like here was the shot girls who were really aggressive. They don’t make it clear that they charge; in fact, this one girl said over and over free drink, free drink and then turned around and asked for $1 once she had literally forced the drink into my husband’s mouth after we kept saying, "No thanks."

This club, like all the clubs in Cancun, is expensive to get in (anywhere between $15 and $25). However, try bargaining, especially if it’s early or later in the evening. One quieter night, we got in for free because it was already 1am.

Also, I hate to say this and offend any feminists, but send the girls ahead of the group. If the doormen think there is a group of cute girls with no men, they will often let you in free anyway. Meet up with your fellas, husbands, etc., once you are inside and have already gotten in at half-price. Drinks are a couple of dollars each, and you can purchase the all-you-can-drink wristband upon entry if you want to really tie one on!!
