Coco Bongo

Definitely, more than a nightclub

In a previous post I mentioned Coco Bongo and today I would like to elaborate a little bit more on it. The Coco Bongo is a fictional nightclub in the film The Mask. But in real life it is also the name of a nightclub that is owned by Jim Carrey. Coco Bongo is a place you must visit when in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; or Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

         Coco Bongo is … nonstop performances from acrobats, conga lines, live bands and musician impersonators. A typical night at Coco Bongo involves projected videos, balloons, soap bubbles and confetti. Some of the characters include Michael Jackson and The Mask, which people anxiously await to take picture with. There, there is no traditional dance floor. If you go to Coco Bongo be prepared to enjoy performing the whole night.

         The tickets range from $65 to $160 U.S dollars. Locals’ rates are cheaper, and to get this price you have to present a Dominican ID (cedula). Note that the most expensive rates are during the weekend. The general entrance on a Saturday for example, would be $70 and it includes unlimited national drinks from 9:30 pm to 2:00 am. They also have the “gold member” and the front row” tickets, $130-$160.  It might seem a bit expensive for a nightclub, but I can tell you that it is worth it. You enjoy every penny.
