Clubs in Playa del Carmen
The lighter night is Santino on Fifth Avenue, a door charge rather than a show ticket. Coco Bongo starts around USD 80–90.
A door charge, not a show ticket
Santino Playa
Nightclub · Quinta Avenida
The smaller club. Dancing on the avenue, with a door charge that stays short of a Coco Bongo ticket.
Entry about USD 25, open bar from about USD 60
Mandala
Beach nightclub · Beach, Quinta Avenida
The big club between Fifth Avenue and the sea. Entry alone is about USD 25. A regular open bar is listed from about USD 60, and a premium pass from about USD 110.
Tickets from about USD 80–90
Coco Bongo
Show club · Quinta Avenida
The expensive night. A ticketed show with acrobats, a band, and an open bar on the regular ticket. This is the one that costs more than walking into Mandala.
