 Nightclub at the Riu Cancun 

Hi I'm off to stay at the RPLA next wednesday and was wondering if anybody could tell me what the nightclub is like next door at Riu Cancun, what time it opens and closes and what type of music they play, does it get busy?

The Disco at the RIU CAncun is called La Pacha. It opens at 11pm usually right after the show. It closes at 2am. They play alot of salsa. They do take requests though. I find the disco to attract more of a more mature crowd. Its hit and miss on if it gets busy or not. But if you hit a busy night it does get alot of fun.

If you look back on my review of the Riu Cancun, I have a picture of it. I was very surprised at how small it is. We did not waste our time going there since there were so many other clubs nearby off hotel property. If you want to not pay to go to club, give it a try, the worst that can happen is it is no fun and you leave right?

Hi Jo!,

Could you advise if there is a bar or club which plays 60's/indie music at all, my sis is into r&b which I don't mind but I love bands like the Rolling Stones, The Killers, The Kinks, Kaiser Chiefs, is there anywhere you could advise which plays this type of music?

I'm getting very excited now as not long to go!

Hola

while we were there last year, they had a over 30s night at the La Pacha. Its was just OK and much better than other nights that we tryed it. As Jo says, it was mainly rap music and its very dark in there. LOL

It would seem that we have the same kind of taste in music and I'm sorry to say it but we never found any last year. Lots of party music in most bars around party central, so just go with the flow and ENJOY.

Can we at least agree that the club at RIU Cancun is not too bad if you are taking a break from the Cancun night clubs? It is small, and it is dark. For a hotel club its not so bad. The music is top 40, and salsa. I am going in april. My 1st night that's where I will be. And what's the worse that can happen??? You dance and drink for free.... not a bad deal.
