Day Party
For Día de Muertos, Taboo’s beach club becomes a bohemian-chic sanctuary between jungle and ocean, with traditional altars, themed decor and live beats.
The menu is Taboo’s Mediterranean cooking, with seasonal cocktails and a complimentary mini pan de muerto for every guest.

I love Taboo. It is very very pricey. I loved my drink and my salmon taco. I did not like to be harrassed by the beach vendors so I would suggest to not take a sunbed if you want to avoid that experience, but rather, stay closer to the pool. The music could have been better (it is my 2nd time at Taboo so I know their potential). Overall, I will always recommend Taboo.
Rating: 4.5/5 A very relaxing but expensive day. Total spend was over $11,000 MXN for a family of three. The service was top-notch, though the food menu is a bit repetitive if you stay for multiple days—sushi was unfortunately unavailable. Pros: Great service and relaxing cabanas. Cons: Lots of uncleaned sargassum on the beach, basic restrooms, and a "party" vibe that is better suited for adults than families with young teens. I’d come back for an adults-only trip once the food options are expanded!
I expected that the sargassum would at least be cleaned at a high-end beach club like this. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. The pool water was also quite dirty, which left essentially nowhere to swim. I rented a sunbed and still ended up getting sunburned after a couple of hours, even though I was sitting in the shade under an umbrella and applied sunscreen twice. When I later moved to a swing closer to the bar, a hostess approached me in a very rude manner asking what I was doing there, which made me feel unwelcome. You are also required to pay gratuities on top of the 2,000 MXN minimum spend, which feels unreasonable considering a single cocktail costs around 470 MXN (about 35 CAD). To be fair, the food, cocktails, music, sunbeds, and overall atmosphere were good. However, given the price and the issues mentioned above, the experience felt significantly overpriced. I wouldn’t recommend it.
