Dancers are mostly under 35, and dressing appropriately is acquired. The best types of tequila are available for sipping in between dances. Cover to get in is around $25-$35. It may seem expensive, but it’s all you can drink for the entire night!
Disco Beach

This club has a laid-back vibe that is hard to beat. Disco Beach takes the party right down to the sand. Young club-goers favor this spot for their come-as-you-are door policy as well as the fabulous foam parties every Friday night. Have a drink, get your party on and get ready to experience a crazy time.

Palladium

Palladium has an incredible view from the 160-ft wide windows. They have a spectacular laser light show. There is always a fun loving crowd presence. "The Silver Man," dressed as an Aztec warrior shows up every so often to put on a show. He tosses fired everywhere and is a huge crowd pleaser. The place is very popular with locals and tourists, so be prepared to wait in line. Cover charge depends on what night you go on and it is from $20-$30 and it is all you can drink for the night. Get your party hats on and dance the night away with the locals and your friends.

Bars

Baby Lobster Bar

At this popular bar, people cut loose and dance on the tables for hours at a time. This place is located right on the beach. They open much earlier than other bars so people have time to party before the sun rises. With capacity for 500, and liberally poured tequila and other cocktails, this is a party atmosphere extraordinaire.

Bar Rio

This is a multi-level venue to kick back, enjoy a drink, get together with friends and listen to disco or live Mexican pop music every weekend. The stage is set dead center a nd can be seen from any one of their numerous bars. The crowd is usually young and energetic. This bar is always crowded on Fridays and Saturdays.

One Dollar Bar

The night gets started early at One Dollar Bar where the drinks, though not a buck, are relatively inexpensive. Lots of seating and an open plan is good for socializing with the crowd of tourists that walk up from the beach. If you feel like dancing, join the fleet feet on the patio. Also, if you love rock and roll music you've come to the right place. Live bands perform on Thursdays-Sundays.

Restaurants

El Mural

Most tourists come to this restaurant to get a taste of a real Mexican dish.

Hard Rock Café

This link in the international Hard Rock chain is one of Acapulco's most popular spots, among locals as well as visitors. The New York-cut steaks, hamburgers, and brownies, as well as the Southern-style fried chicken and ribs are familiar and very much satisfying. Rock music begins at noon, and a live group starts playing at 10 PM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. This is a fun place to rock out and to have a great bite to eat.

Mezzanotte

At this restaurant you may end up dancing with your waiter on top a table. The stylish interior has a large sunken dining area, original sculptures, and huge bay windows looking out to the sea.

Great Bars to go to while you in Jamaica

Rick’s Cafe
Rick's Cafe is an excellent tourist spot that is a 'must do' when in Negril. It is definitely worth the trip. It's geared towards American tourism since all the prices are set in US dollars. The only Jamaicans you'll likely mingle with is the staff. Also, when the sun finally goes down, a live reggae band gets the crowd charged and the conga line moving!

No Limit Bar
This little bar at the west end of Negril is just the place you need if you're seeking to hang out with the locals. No Limit Bar is small, inexpensive and friendly so you can toss back a cold one without sticking to a strict budget. Byron the bartender will take care of all your drinking needs. The decor is fun and the locals are a blast to hang out with. However, as the name of the bar says, there's certainly 'No Limit' on the drinks! Bottoms up!

Bourbon Beach
This place could easily be off-the-hook on a good night. With its bar in the sand, large covered dance floor and thumping dancehall tunes, this place beckons you to come party! Bourbon Beach is a bar, restaurant and disco. Bourbon Beach is the place to be to have drinks at a reasonable price and to party the night away on the beach.

Clubs
The Jungle
The Jungle Night Club and Sports Bar in Negril Jamaica was voted "The Best Night Club in the Caribbean" in 2004. As the most popular dance club in Negril Jamaica their bar and night club features the latest and greatest in Jamaican music along with top quality lighting and a Jungle theme/rainforest decor that are sure to be exciting. The VIP lounge overlooks the hottest dance floor in the Caribbean and the Sports Bar has the latest games and sports events playing on Big Screen T. V.'s. The cover charge to get in is usually only $5. It’s a great place to get your dance on!

Restaurants

Rockhouse
The sunset views and ambiance at this spot can't be beat. It is set up on the cliff’s, overlooking the ocean. The view is simply magical. The food is excellent, and the staff is very professional. They also offer a complimentary service to pick you up from your hotel and transport you to the restaurant personally. It’s a great spot to relax for an hour or two and to grab a delicious meal.

Selina’s
Selina’s is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This restaurant is known for Big Roy’s banana pancakes, and fresh Blue Mountain coffee. It is however, a bit more expensive then other nearby restaurants but many feel it’s worth it. On Sunday’s, they have a huge brunch where it is all you can eat. Also on some days there are live shows featuring the Jamaican Cowboy.

Costa Rica

2009-03-19T17:05:00.000-07:00

In the area most travel guides and writers call Gringo Gulch, Costa Rica bars and nightclubs range from upscale cocktail lounges that serve $4 beers, to places where the locals pay just 75 cents for a cold cerveza.

One of the most popular watering holes in San Jose for single men used to be the Hotel del Rey's Blue Marlin, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The watering hole at New York Bar (around the corner and down the hill) has become much more popular in the past year. So has the bar at the Hotel Presidente on Avenida Central.

Baraza Lounge - San Jose
5 out of 5
Excellent Bar and Lounge in the heart of Sabana, San José Costa Rica.
El Cuartel de la Boca del Monte
4 out of 5
This popular bar, one of San José's best, began life as an artist-and-bohemian hangout, and has evolved into the leading meat market for the young and well heeled. However, artists still come, as do foreign exchange students, visitors, and, a broad cross section of San José's youth, so there's always a diverse mix.

El Tobogán
4 out of 5
The dance floor in this place is about the size of a football field, yet it still fills up. This is a place where Ticos come with their loved ones and dance partners. The music is a mix of classic Latin dance rhythms -- salsa, cumbia, and merengue. It's open only on the weekends (till about 2am)
Playas del Coco
4 out of 5
Great place to relax and enjoy drinks.

Barba Roja – Quepos

4 out of 5

Barba Roja is a great place to have dinner and watch the sun set (you can't beat the views). If it's ladies night, the place will pick up later in the night. There's usually a cover for guys but I believe ladies drink for free all night.

Qbico - Los Yoses

3 out of 5

Qbico is pretty nice. Sure it doesn´t have the same atmosphere as the bars in escazu (gringo town), but you jus gotta know how to appreciate the costa rican way else you miss the whole point of trying new things.

Castro's

2 out of 5

This is a classic Costa Rican dance club. The music varies throughout the night, from salsa and meringue to reggaeton and occasionally electronic trance.

Copacabana

2 out of 5

This large, open, upscale disco seems to be the favored dance venue for the young and beautiful of San José. The party here is Wednesday through Saturday nights till around 4am. Admission is around $3

In all seriousness, the bars and clubs are better off to be found then told. They have good and bad seasons. So look for the great ones and let us know.

Clubs we advise avoiding include Lipstick, Alcasar, Kamur, Elite and Hollywood

Key West

2009-03-12T20:42:00.001-07:00

Garden of Eden Clothing Optnl

A crazy and fun club that offers a clothing optional experience

PIZZA RUSTICA

For a quick lunch or a late night snack under $5, you can’t beat Pizza Rustica. The secret, of course, is in the crust. Rich in extra virgin olive oil, this crispy yet yeasty base melts in your mouth. Toppings range from four cheese (which wreaks of heavenly gorgonzola and parmesan) to a simple favorite of fresh buffalo mozzarella with Roma tomatoes and chiffonade of fresh leaf basil. Pizza Bianca (white pizza) omits the tomato sauce for more olive oil. "Slices" are cut into squares (as it’s really done in roadside Pizzerias in Italy). This restaurant is open late and the lines never cease. This is a good snack to have at 3 in the morning to help cure an oncoming hangover!

There are many places to browse around and find good deals on airfare. My tips to you are to always check for surrounding airports. If might be cheaper for you and your friends to drive or take the train 45 minutes than to pay an additional $100 on a flight. Here are a few places to find great deals on flights and hotel accommodations to the Bahamas. Remember if you boo both the hotel and flights together you might be able to save a few dollars.

You can always take a Cruise! There are some benefits to this option. Currently on http://www.cruiseweb.com/ you can find deals on cruises that take you to the Bahamas. It might be a cheaper option than flying and getting a hotel. You can party on the cruise and you can party on the streets of the Bahamas.

Boardwalk Beach Resort

This is the main head quarters of MTV this spring break. This Resort has a great atmosphere with a fantastic view on the beach. Greater discounts arise when college students double up in their rooms. If four people stay in one room, the cost will be $800 per person for the entire week. This is entirely worth it due to the fact that the hottest parties, shows and contests will be held at this resort.

Paradise Palms Resort

The resort is located right in the middle of all the action for spring break. Students can get a quick drink and eat some food at the Blue Moose Bar and Grille which is down by the poolside. It will cost $750 per person if students have 6 people per room. At an affordable price, college students can enjoy a week of eating, drinking and just have an all around great time.

Top places to Party At

Club Spinnaker is one of the largest clubs in the U.S. There are 20 bars total in this club. Most of the partying for this club is done out on the beach. This is the reason as to why the club is so huge! Drink prices are the same as you would get at any club. Beers run from $3-$6 and margaritas go for $8-$9. Students can choose their own poison!

The largest and most popular club in the U.S. is located right here in Panama City Beach. Club La Vela consists of 10 different themed rooms. The music in these rooms range from hip-hop, rock, techno and hard core booty. Drink prices are standard. It all depends on what college students want to drink.

If you want a break from the whole club scene, there are many popular bars that spring breakers love to visit. These include Schooners, Harpoon Harry’s and Coyote Ugly. These are the three top bars, and they also serve up some good food as well. The food at these bars range from simple sandwiches, to steak dinners.
