Mexican Beach Resorts that are the Life of the Fiesta

Sólo se vive una vez. So it doesn’t have the same ring as YOLO, but you get the point.

Where better to celebrate the beauty of life than these party resorts on Mexico’s most pristine sandy stretches? We asked our fellow Despacito lovers over on trivago magazine Mexico and found the best party hotels south of the border. They have everything you need to spend a legendary vacation, we’re talking: spectacular swimming pools, all-night entertainment, top tunes to bump and grind to and endless drinks. If that is what you’re looking for, keep reading because you’re going to like the sound of these…

Krystal Cancun

1/3

This gorgeous resort is located in the Punta Cancun area, known as the entertainment hub of the city. Its location makes it the perfect accommodation for long nights of partying and entire days by the beach. But that’s not all, this hotel is one of the few that overlooks both the sea and the lagoon.

When you get to the hotel, we bet you’re going to beeline it straight to the infinity pool. It has two poolside bars, and if you go during peak season, you can also enjoy the beach bar, perfect for starting up the party as soon as you arrive.

An obvious centerpiece of the Krystal Cancun hotel is its sparkling marble stairs. White walls and floors give the lobby a sophisticated touch, while the bar decor breathes a chic and modern vibe into the space.

Piece together the story of the night before over the hotel’s continental breakfast. Or go for the full gossip hour by signing up for the all inclusive plan.

The Krystal Cancun and the Oasis Cancun are firmly planted on the Spring Break circuit. Expect to make plenty of new friends from across the States, Canada and beyond…

Grand Oasis Palm Resort & Spa

1/2

Beach vacation away with your crew? The Grand Oasis Palm Resort & Spa is your answer. Its distinctive pyramid shape stands out on Boulevard Kukulkan, making it easy to recognize on the drive in. This hotel is known as THE hotel to go for Spring Break thanks to an unbreakable party reputation and for housing a large portion of springtime visitors.

The Grand Oasis Cancun hotel differs from the Oasis Cancun hotel in that it offers a more exclusive experience with different amenities, namely the widest variety of restaurants in Cancun, and a slightly more relaxed atmosphere. The best thing about staying here is that you have access to all the facilities and parties at the neighboring Oasis Cancun hotel.

This resort has the largest swimming pool in Cancun at a modest 437 yards. You’ll never run out of drinks around the pool, since it has 14 bars where you’ll find most guests spending their day.

There is a huge stage on this hotel’s beach, which is the center of attention during peak season. The hotel has 50 entertainers ranging from singers and dancers to comedians, all of whom are experts at showing you the time of your life.

The Friendly Vallarta hotel is one of the most loved hotels in Puerto Vallarta for vacationing with friends. The hotel has all-inclusive packages that are the top-of-mind among young travelers (psst… the two bars are also included)

The swimming pools have a marvelous beach view and with one of them being exclusive to adults. They also have two Jacuzzis that are perfect for enjoying a drink while you relax. And don’t worry about not being able to upload your photos as the hotel has free WiFi all around.

This hotel also has entertainment at its facilities. Listen up, brides-to-be. The hotel has special packages for bachelorette parties that have everything you need, including t-shirts for your group, a night out to the club with open bar, and everything included at the hotel.

The Cid Castilla Beach

Well-known for being a meeting point for American partyers, this hotel in the Golden Zone of Mazatlan is close to all the bars and clubs in the city, so you won’t have to waste time getting back to the hotel after a long night of partying.

If you stay at this huge hotel, you’ll have direct access to Gaviotas Beach, which is one of the most popular in the area. People come here during peak season to listen to good music and hang out. The hotel also has daytime activities on the beach. If you’d rather have fun at the hotel, you can enjoy the largest swimming pool in Mazatlan.

When the sun sets you can take advantage of the live entertainment that the hotel puts on every day right outside your hotel room door. Another reason partygoers love this hotel is that it offers all inclusive packages so you’ll always have a drink in your hand and all the food your eyes (and stomach) desire.

Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta

1/3

At the intersection of a global hotel chain with a wild rep and a prime location in one of Mexico’s hottest destination, you’ll find something like the perfect place to party with your friends. Hard Rock Hotels are well-known for attracting young people looking to party, and this hotel lives up to its reputation.

As soon as you arrive in the lobby, you’ll be amazed by the mural of Carlos Santana made of hundreds of album covers. The hotel is decked out with sleek furnishings, and its facilities are full of collectibles and musical instruments, which will make you feel rock & roll like only Hard Rock can.

The spacious rooms are of course decorated with song lyrics. Each room has a double Jacuzzi that’s perfect for relaxing. But your favorite part of the room will be the drink dispenser with the best brands of liquor, so you won’t even have to leave the room to start the party.

Once you peel yourselves away from the private jacuzzi and the confines of your sumptuous room, visit any of the hotel’s three bars; one of which is in the swimming pool and keeps visitors busy with entertainment and lots of music. When the sun goes down, go to the hotel’s outdoor amphitheater where you can see concerts, shows and live music every day of the week. And don’t worry about your drink, the hotel offers bar service during shows.

The best part is that if you book the Jetsetter package, the food, drinks, room service, use of the drink dispenser and mini-bar in the room are all included.

The hotel has two large swimming pools, an expansive pool deck, and direct access to Icacos Beach, where you can perfect that tan. There are parties and contests every day at the pools, and on the beach, so you have no excuse for being bored.
