Location is excellent: a short taxi/ Uber ride from Presidente InterContinental Cancun resort. Service: our group of about 18 adults were greeted politely and efficiently as we checked in for our private party. You will pass through a metal detector and asked if you are carrying in any food or drinks ( not allowed) EVENT SPACES: The groom had reserved two private cabanas overlooking a semi private pool just steps from the beach. There was ample shade provided by sturdy patio III umbrellas, private casitas, each seating 10 adults. ATMOSPHERE: Common areas are look tired in the day light. I'm sure that the flaws are masked by the pool lights once the sun sets. Our private party was at the far end of the club; a 10x14' pool flanked by patio furniture in one side and 5 private cabanas on the other. The cabanas were set up living room style with a sofa, coffee table and cabinets for personal belongings. The view from one of the casitas was oceanfront making a lovely backdrop for photos. The music was obnoxiously loud most of the time with pounding bass. Our crowd was celebrating the Grooms and they a great time. In our case, the grooms were running a tab- open bar and order from an extensive bar menu. FOOD: Well presented and the guests seemed to enjoy it. My allergies were an obstacle to most of the menu, but I enjoyed the fruit OUR SERVERS were amazing. Taking orders and finding the guests was like wrangling cats but somehow they did an amazing job. This please is really suited for a 25-40 year old crowd. You know: the clubbing set. Would I recommend it for an older group? No. Was the event successful? The grooms were pleased, so we were also. read more

This shit is so dead. The entrance fee was $36 USD and there was no one. I understand it's a Sunday but they should've had a discounted cover charge like $10 or 1:1 ratio free like Vegas. I'm super disappointed because their DJ played a few good songs, then played whatever he wanted. During that time, EVERYONE was sitting down. Like...read the room? I give a star to the person who was our waiter - super nice. Also, min drinks are $12... read more

Loud loud loud but also fun with the right music ! Service it's amazing from All the staff ! I got a massage charge separately 50-90 dls with tip fand the bed space for 8 people was $850 dollars. If you want to party this is good you have the beach on front amazing views !! Food it's not bad also you drink all day you won't notice it if it's bad read more

Mandala - Views are amazing - Dance Clubs Near Me - Cancún, ROO

In an unpublished essay on existentialism, Russian philosopher Vasily Rozanov poses this compelling question. Would you rather experience "absolute happiness", a pure unimaginable ecstasy beyond anything you have ever felt, for 24 hours, or live your whole life never knowing what it feels like? At first glance, the answer seems obvious. Who wouldn't want to experience such a feeling? But as Rozanov explains, once you've tasted absolute happiness, the realization that you'll never feel it again could be too much to bear. It may even lead to depression or madness. I originally considered this query as nothing more than an interesting thought exercise. However, last night at Mandala, as flashing lasers danced in my eyes and the fading notes of debut single "Last Resort" by American sensation Papa Roach blended seamlessly into the next song, a profound realization washed over me. That fleeting moment had been the greatest of my life. I knew in that instant I was at my pinnacle. From then on, everything would be downhill. I collapsed to my knees in front of my table, weeping uncontrollably and almost spilling a bottle of Don Julio 1942 in the process (that's right ladies, I'm rich). If the purpose of life is the pursuit of happiness, and if I would never again be as happy as I was in that moment, then what more purpose did I have in my life? It was ironic, but Papa Roach's internationally-acclaimed "Last Resort" had me quite literally "losing my sight", "losing my mind", and "contemplating suicide." Make no mistake, a night at Mandala will be unforgettable, but it may leave you wrestling with existential dread and questioning the very meaning of life. read more

This review is only based on the club at night. At night, this club is extremely lit. The Club predominantly played hip hop and reggae on the night I went. It was packed. The concierge at my hotel sold passes for $40 which counted towards drinks purchased. I would definitely recommend Mandala for a good time. TIP: confirm the type of music spinning the night you're interested in going. read more

For all the tourists/travelers out there. Place is a fucking scam and stop selling liquor at 12. Even on new years. The bar is open after that but you have to pay. Fucking rip off. Please don't go here. Plus ~ the bartenders are so rude and even if you give them a tip, they do nothing for you. Good vibes don't get me wrong- but a fucking rip off. Plz listen to this. read more

My bf's wallet was stolen (out of his pocket). Do NOT go there! Also, there was a guy taking photos for purchase. My friend gave him cash to buy a photo he took...he took their cash and never came back. Fun time if you don't mind losing your ID & credit cards + paying $65 a person. Full scam! read more

Found a piece of a bottle cap in my drink and they said "this is normal at a bar." Tried to be cool about it and just ask for a new, better table; as we had already paid around $5,000MX for a bottle and they weren't having it. Not to mention it was my birthday and they said they would get me a shot... they never did. If you like horrible service and drinking plastic that's big enough to choke on, this is the spot for you! read more

Horrible experience! Came to the day club for a bachelorette and the venue was very small and packed. Our group bought a "table" because it would have collectively cost less than just paying an entrance fee. The table/bed area was crowded with people. The pool water looked murky... it was disgusting. Everything was overpriced; we ended up paying $162 USD for water for just 9 people. Definitely a rip off, but we didn't want to be dehydrated. Amidst of all the chaos, my phone and wallet were stolen. My best guess is that it was stolen by an employee while they were were coming back and forth to clear our table. I had my phone's location tracked and it was still in the club after closing and then eventually made its way to a residential area in the photos I attached. Little did they know my phone can still track even if it was shut off. read more

When I was out here happened to be one of the least packed and safest compared to others on the strip venues. Music was great and kept everyone entertained with a variety. Staff was nice and professional also very on point on drinks and cleaning up. Place is also kept clean and not beat down after all the years in business. Overall it's a fun place out of the many times I've been here over the years. Pricing is avg and you should be able to get in free talking to the right people and not acting interested. read more

The worst experience ever. Why would I go to a beach club where I couldn't hear the music? I had to ask the waiter to turn up the music. My waiter forgot about me most of the time and charged me for an extra drink I didn't order, but of course I got charged for it regardless. Then, Jorge charges me a 23% tip. I am not stupid. The service was terrible and your boss is going to read this review. Also, they share the beach front with Cielo Beach club, which is awful. This is not a private beach club. If I had a recommendation for you, the only thing that is worth it is to stay away from any seating on the beach. The second recommendation is to only be at the adults only section if you had to be on the beach. Too bad that everyone will read my review and stay away from this shady establishment. read more

I wish I could give you guys "0", because you are not like an expensive club,you have very bad customer service... Your personal wasn't respectful, my husband and I had to leave after a few minutes we arrived. Never recommend your place to anyone.... read more

My husband and i stayed at the Hilton and they gave us tickets to access the beach club. The beach club is located next to coco bongo facing the beach, we got a cover for $35 a person but its used as a credit for drinks. The beach was nice, we got taken to our seats and had a very nice server, There was no music as soon as we got there we were asked if we wanted the party side or the family , the family side is free and the party side you had to buy a bottle. We went by the family side which was right on the beach and had a pool that noon was in so we had our pool. The party side was next to us so you can hear the music. We enjoyed the beach and the weather but it didn't feel much like a beach club , they just seem to try to upsell you everything and the drinks are expensive too. I wouldn't go again, you are better off going to a public beach for free. read more

We came to the mandala beach club on a Saturday for their pool party and it was great! Chill music and the $40 ticket was enough to cover 3-4 drinks plus some sushi the food was really good too!! It was a good vibe and will definitely return! read more

We had a villa for my bachelorette and it was great because we had our own hot tub/mini pool in the front of the villa. The view of the beach was gorgeous and the venue itself was modern. It was more chill than other pool parties that I've been to in Vegas and Miami, but it was a nice escape from the typical "untz untz untz", especially after partying all weekend. We ordered 2 bottles and a ton of food to meet the minimum. Eduardo was our server and he was accommodating and friendly throughout our time there, and always made sure our glasses were flowing with booze. However, I wasn't a fan of the other employees coming up to us multiple times to try to sell us stuff (hookah, massages, etc.). Mandala Beach Club is right next to Mandala nightclub and is its own separate entity. There seemed to be some confusion at the front desk regarding our minimums, but it all got squared away and we had a great time here! read more

Tuesday night is for resting, right? Wrong! Tuesday night in Cancun is for the best party in town. Fast bartenders, beautiful people in swimsuits, a nice set-up even for non-bottle service ballers, a pool in which you can swim while drunk, and foam being shot out of cannons?! Yessir, this is what you wanted out of Cancun. read more

We came on a monday so we got VIP for free which was awesome. Your cover goes towards food and drinks so it was a good deal. We got a big platter with sushi, ceviche, and other sides; everything was delicious. The piña coladas were great as well. The DJ was great and kept the vibe up the entire time. The establishment is clean and the service is acceptable for the size of the place and the fact that it's a beach club. The only reason I am ducking a star is because at the end when we got the bill there were some hidden fees aka they are not upfront about extra charges. I guess that is to be expected at most tourist traps but beware and definitely double check your bill if you go. read more

My boyfriend and I didn't know what we wanted to do one night so we ended up at this place. Super strict at the door looking through bags but I guess that's safe. It was beyond crowded. It was all high school to college kids super drunk and rowdy. We left weird as I'm 25 and he's 30 so that can give you an idea about the crowds age range. It was so packed that some kids even tried to grab our grey goose bottle from our table. I wouldn't go back just because the crowd. read more

Just wanna say couple words about my previous trip to Mexico. The biggest part of my friends have already visited Mexico so I decided to spend about one week of my vacation in Cancun. Mandala beach was the closest beach to my hotel. When i saw Caribbean Sea first time I absolutely fall in love with it. Mandala beach is quite clean and comfy beach, water is good for swimming for everyone. If you want to come into territory of Mandala usually you need to pay some fee. We had lunch couple times here and I cant say that there is the best Mexican food but ok. I am a big fan of volleyball so very close to mandala beach i found two amazing beach volleyball courts and was happy playing volleyball during whole my vacation. read more

Was going out for a bachelorette Party as we were visiting Cancun. We chose this over Cocobongo and it was a vibe. We got a table the last floor (right by the bar), so it was perfect. Our server was awesome and even danced with us. We didn't get here till 11:30 and it felt right! At first, it feels weird being in a circular shape since it's not the biggest, but it worked. Drinks kept coming, and we got a package with this and 24k night club. The best part? The MUSIC. This DJ deserves a raise read more

Mandala Beach Club (which is next to Mandala, but is a separate place-it is off to the side and in the back of Mandala) has a great Pool Party. It has a separate entrance. Like anything, there are some things that you should note and remember. The first is, Cancun or any crowd based place, for the purpose of party population and energy, are as only as good as what they can attract. Such being said, they are at the Mercy of the population currently in Cancun on any given night. I went with CunCrawl (those folks are amazing and you should really look them up) on a Spring Break Tuesday. Mandala Beach was one of three stops and we had bottle service. It was an amazing night, with hundreds of people. However, in fairness, it was the tail end of spring break and maybe this will not be your experience. The actual Mandala club was dead the night before and not so packed that night (cause everyone was at Mandala Beach). I had an great time at Mandala Beach. I could care less about who was there, they were playing good music, it was pretty and I am epic. If you go there and you don't have the same time, sucks for you. Don't be mad at me, or my review, figure out how to fix your life. You are in Cancun and there is a lot going on. Get your life right. read more

It's definitely worth it!!! I went with my girlfriend, they tell you to book online because it's cheaper than at the door and the reservation goes into the system right away. It was $75-80 for both of us(depending on how the currency is). They take that money and give it to you for drinks and food. We ordered so much food and drinks. I don't think they kept track. We were ordering everything. The food, drinks, hookah, service, and vibes were amazing! The dancer guys and girls come around with free shots of tequila. The beach was beautiful and felt so nice not hot or cold, just right. We got 2 chairs on the beach and we were next to the pool. I just wish they played more hip hop and dancehall music. It was mostly trap/house music and a few spanish hits The hookah is separate from the food/drinks. A little over priced ($40) but definitely worth it. It lasted for the 4 hours that we were there. I would definitely recommend mandala beach, the ultimate beach party! read more

Went to mandala beach club during the day. My friends and I got in for free and they provided a cabana bed for us. They have a menu there for drinks and food and I ended up getting a mojito and it was good but in a very skinny glass haha. My friend ended up getting the fish tacos and they were bomb. The music was lit if you like EDM and like Latino music but the dj was going ham that day too with the twerking music lol. It was kinda empty while I was there, about 35 people I wish it was a little more packed. They have several pools and also people were smoking hookah in there if you're into that. They also have bottle service there and people walking around giving pulls of tequila for like $5 if you wanna spend the money. Overall it was a pretty fun time! read more

Dearest Reader-- To the victor goes the spoils, the troops knew that going in. For one of our men, this would be his last campaign as a bachelor. After much negotiation a deal was finally struck (be prepared to haggle). Mandala Beach (Day) A+ : If you're willing to shell out upwards of $800 USD, you can live like a king. It is well worth it though, you'll get a private daybed next to the pool and the money goes towards your alcohol and food spend. Be prepared though, that does not include cost for tipping server + security. I'd highly recommend the nachos (the cheese, beans and chicken were perfectly layered). Mandala Club (Night) C- : Once again, if you're willing to shell out upwards of $800 USD, you can live like a king. This will get you bottle service and a table + booth. There are cheaper packages below this, but you'll likely be standing throughout the entirety of the night. Onward. --Mitchell read more

You can spend hours of fun in this nightclub, the music is good and the service is good as long as you tip so it might help you bring a little extra money. There are not many tables so you may not find one however the place is not bad at all. read more

This review is for the night time beach party this spot holds. Meh: Foam party...yeah I did that shit...back in college during spring break. No thanks, I'm good, Pedro. Meh: A thousand 18 - 20-year-olds wildin out like it was the first time their parents let them outta the house. No thanks, I'm good, Pedro. Meh: All-you-can-drink for $60...but what's up with the mandatory table service when the bar is wide open, brah? No thanks, I'm good, Pedro. Meh: Wet T-shirt contest...this shit still goes on? No thanks, I'm good, Pedro. Gracias cabron, pero no mas. read more

I went here during the day. Great food & drinks. They offer you 2 deals. $1000 pesos / $50 USD for 2 people on beach side with pool. That money is then used for food and drinks. Now if you want VIP area then its $2000 pesos/ $100 USD . This area has its own exclusive pool and jacuzzi area. Beds are extra. Service was great. Now in my opinion if you are not going to do the VIP its not worth it because if you go thru entrance of coco bongos and find your way unto the beach it is much cheaper. There the guys offer you beach chairs & umbrellas for $15 USD and they have food as well AND you can bring your own liquor or beer. If you try to bring your liquor unto mandala they take it away from you and then you get t back at the end. In my opinion I would go thru coco bongos next time. I only gave this place 3 stars because the food & service was great. But its the same beach either way. So if you on a budget that would be your best bet. But if you want to floss then go thru the VIP at Mandala. Also DJ never showed up. So bring your own tunes. read more

We were here for a friend's bachelorette and in order to show her a good time we thought lets go to one of the more happening places. BAD IDEA We paid $60 per person for open bar and table. Not that bad a deal right? Open bar: BAD They were serving crappy alcohol that we were not able to finish one drink so then we switched to beer and just stuck to that Table service: DOUBLE BAD We had a standing table far away from the dance floor which was not bad but half way through the night the manager says we need to move you to a different table so first we said show us where and he pointed to a table right next to the bathroom. We looked at him and said no. The reason he wanted to move us was because there was a party of 40 ppl coming which is fine but he decided to talk to the table that 5 ladies instead of any other table around us. The manager has the balls to tell me that he gave me the table and that i had not paid for it so i said to him goodluck we are not moving and we did not. Guess what this guest of 40 ppl never showed up The managers and waiters really need to learn how to treat their customers and not discriminate read more

This place sucks lame top 40 and bad service, go somewhere else, I do not recommend, any other club is better

This place is more a wannabe Miami or L.A. club complete with a group of losers working the front who think that they are ballers but are more like marbles in the overall scope of things. Rude and ignorant for the most part when you ask them a question. What I find funny is that they attack you to try and get you in and then once they get you to pay, when you try talking to one of the door-idiots, they ignore you. I realize that my question of "where is the main entrance," is a very difficult one but if you try hard, all you need to do is point. One guy in particular was hilarious in his tight, cheap jeans, big belt buckle from the thrift store, smoking a cigarette and acting like he was Pablo Escobar with his attitude. The drinks and service were mediocre and the music was about average. I guess coming here is better than jabbing a fork in my eye for fun but not by much. I would comeback if it were free and they asked nicely. read more

They charge you what they want. Don't get any food, it is the biggest waste of money ever. The pizza was inedible. We paid for the table then they strong armed us to pay a 20% tip for sub par service. The Busser was more help than the waiter. I strongly recommend not coming here if you don't speak Spanish. Unless you are ready to pay a bunch of money. read more

Myself and 2 of my buddies decided to go hit the club to celebrate our second night in cancun. We went on a Tuesday night. Found an all access pass for $80 each. It got us access to Mandela, Mandela Beach Club, & La Vaquita. We started at Mandela (11pm) had a few drinks it was chill but very loud. They gave us a host to saw to our every need. He was on top of it. When we decided to head next door to the beach club. We gound out our host was our guy for the night. He went everywhere we went. It was nice. We got to the beach club. It was perfect. Loud but you could at least hear the person next to you talk. It was outside the breeze was great. We were brought to our own table there. Where I learned that not only did our pass get us i to all 3 clubs. And open bar. It was private table, bottle service. And our own security guy who looked out for us. And got us across the club crowd fast. We all felt like true VIPs. I highly recommend this place. Its safe and fun. read more

One of the few places in the club zone that plays decent American club music that you can actually dance to. The cover for open bar and admission $60, yes that is very pricy however most of the nicer surrounding clubs are priced in the same range. I like how this club is an open space and there are no doors or walls that obstruct your view of the streets. I would stay away from the shot girls if you're not into being forced to take shots and being groped inappropriately. Overall I had a good time, however i don't think it was worth the money. read more

The Mandala beach club cabañas look nice and the area is what you'd expect from a bougie beach club catered towards spring breakers and foreigners. For $30 USD (or 500 pesos) paid upfront, you get a beach lounge chair with an umbrella. Any food and drink you order will be included up to 500 pesos (your cover) and you pay anything over that. The process for getting or wristbands and paying was pretty smooth and painless. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The ambience was pretty good but definitely catered towards spring breakers. Note that around 3pm, a DJ comes out and starts blasting music, so this is not the place to be if you want a relaxing, quiet time on the beach. The margaritas and piña coladas were good, no complaints there. Aside from the guac&chips and Mahi Mahi filet, which were delicious, the food was mediocre to average. I ordered the tuna coconut sushi roll, which didn't seem to have much or any tuna. The crispiness of the coconut around the roll was great, but I felt like I was mostly just eating rice and avocado. I also ordered the tiradito de pescado, which had the description "crispy lemon fish sticks." Please note that these are not the fish sticks Americans would think of; what came out was a bag of tortilla chips and a bowl of small strips of raw fish drizzled in lemon juice with onions, avocado, tomatoes, etc. We were surprised given the description, but since "tiradito de pescado" seems to be a thing, the description was just not precise. It was average and I wouldn't order again. Finally, I ordered chocolate cake and vanilla flan for dessert. The cake was very wet, reminiscent of tres leche cake, which maybe it was but nothing in the name or description would have indicated that. It was ok--I didn't finish it and I wouldn't order it again. The vanilla flan was decent. The service was slow but our server was very friendly and attentive. Our 3-star experience became a 2-star experience at the end of our time there. After we closed out our bill, we thanked our server, tipped him, and started walking out. However, another man who worked there came out and stopped us, counted the tip we handed our server, and demanded us tip more. He explained that the 200 pesos we left unspent on our tab could not count towards our tip and that what we separately gave our server was not enough. We didn't know this, so we did not mean to skimp out on our server. However, he pulled out a calculator and typed out an amount he wanted us to pay. While we did not mind paying more tip to help our server, it was an extremely uncomfortable experience to be stopped and pressured to tip more. Perhaps if it was clear at any point before this (such as when they first pitched the lounge chairs to us, when we paid for them, when we were closing out the tab) that we were basically required to tip a set amount and would be uncomfortably confronted and prevented from leaving if we didn't, this all could have been avoided. The way the man stopped us and insisted we pay more was extremely unpleasant and made us initially feel like he was trying to take advantage of us for being tourists. If you go here, be sure to tip generously (regardless of service quality) if you don't want to be stopped on the way out. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends because it's not a great value for the experience. However, if you just want a lounge chair near the beach, don't care about the food, and are willing to shell out $30+tip, this is a pretty decent option since there aren't many more places to get lounge chairs if you're not staying at a beachside resort. read more

I had a great time at this bar, the staff are super sweet and friendly and they play awesome latin club music!

I love it!!! It's the best place for an after party, the city or palazzo and then Mandala Beach!! Great DJs, people and music, however it's the only club that its focus ONLY on electro and house music you won't hear This Summer by Alesso but it's the after party and most of the people are drunk so nobody cares hahaha plus remember to wear your bikini/speedo or whatever you like hahaha just in case you want to get into the pool. :) read more
