* '''Senor Frog's Ixtapa''' Paseo de Ixtapa , Centro Comercial La Puerta (Cover charge)
Enjoy tasty drinks and prompt service from gorgeous waiters who thinks that just for being cute they can have bad services and overexpensive prices. Dancing starts round 11pm with some old, sometimes rusty tunes for all to enjoy! Chill out if you can, on one of the decks with the most uncomfortable chairs this is no lounge, so you will be forced to do some dancing either in unsecured cages for the more daring, or over the grassy bar. Senor frogs is the same every night, it almost feels like if the dj just pressed play to a cd player, but is a place to meet old people.
