To begin, no one in Mexico starts their nocturnal pursuits until 10pm or later.  If you’re looking for a lot of action, you’ll need to go to the larger tourist cities such as Cancun. Huatulco is smaller and more laid back, but there are plenty of spots around the bahias to enjoy a night out.  Clubs and bars normally stay open until 3:00 Am., sometimes later depending on customer demand.
