Santino

All of Tulum's night does not occur among hotels, jungle, and monumental productions. In town there is another energy: streets still active after dinner, groups looking for where to continue, and places where the night can begin without too much planning. Santino is part of that more informal side. Music, drinks, and dancing build a direct experience, thought less around the ritual of booking a table and more around gathering, entering, and discovering how the night evolves. The atmosphere becomes especially social as the hours advance. Here, the distance between bar and dance floor can quickly disappear, making Santino function as both a meeting point and a place to stay much longer than planned. Tulum has nights that require reservations made weeks in advance. Santino reminds us that there are also the others: those that begin with someone saying "one last drink" and end up proving, once again, that phrase has never had much legal weight.
