Mandala is one of Playa del Carmen's most cosmopolitan nightclubs. People of all ages from all over the world go to Mandala for that "time of your life" night that you expect when you're on vacation, complete with pounding music and flowing drinks. Weekends are very busy so if you go during the week you'll have a better chance of getting a table. Bottle service, open bar and pay-as-you-go are all available. Mandala's party doesn't really get started until about 12 am and doesn't end until 5 or 6 am. For a different experience, head to the rooftop terrace where there is a bar, a dance floor and different music than they play downstairs.
