Those looking to ring in the New Year in Cancun, can toast to 2018 with an elegant and sophisticated evening full of festivities. The “Coral Fire” white-themed event costs $250 per person and is an interactive, high-tech party which transforms the ballroom into an underwater oasis via video-mapping technology highlighting oceanic scenery. The grand event also features gourmet dining options as well as a live show featuring colorful, energetic acrobatic performances that will delight the crowd all night long. An international and electronic DJ will also have travelers dancing into the New Year. Guests will dine on a gourmet buffet with special award-winning signature dishes while enjoying an international open bar all evening. Sparkling Cava will also be served to toast the New Year.
