after a long delay, i'm excited to be back on this forum, because that means its vacation time :lol: After doing cancun twice (stayed at the riu cancun both times and highly recommended) I decided to try some variety and try my next stay at the Royal Playa del Carmen which looks breath taking! For a first timer in Playa del Carmen, what can i expect in terms of the livelyness at night as compared to cancun. Also, are there any clubs that play primarily dance music? (ie. house/trance) And of course, i'm open to helpful tips from previous travellors! thanks brian
Just my opinion but I find that any time I have been in PDC the night life atmosphere is way different from Cancun. But then I"m a bit older than when I first started going to Cancun, so maybe I'm just mellowing out. Here is some info I found at another site (s).

Located on the second floor on the south side of Calle6. Rhumba Club - A salsa club located on the second floor of a shopping complex, behind the Domino's Pizza on Juarez Avenue.
