Review Coco Loco Yumbo Center, ZERO POINTS - give it a miss

map

A review for you not the holiday industry.
Give it a miss, one "star". It's not worth a visit. The Cruise bar or Construction, both of which are bars built around dark rooms are either both less than one minute, with construction down stairs.
The Coco Loco is quite souless, your left with a kind of impression of something false.
The bar has security people who try to blend in with the customers on the terrace which just does'nt work, it's not a realxing or fun bar place to be.

Security people are for dooways or entrances, Coco Loco has niether, the whole thing feels like eastern Europe, somewhat surpressed, tense at times.
it is Deutch or Dutch, whateva. as Steven Fry would say (they are the same thing) )Its client base is partly Dutch and German but even those we know say they don´t like it much,
You won't find many if any Spanish there, a few Brits but only because they intially feel slightly nervous about the Spanish bar next to the Coco No No.

A small syndicate:
You'd think by the coverage Guapo magazine gives it you'd think it was genuinely tops, but then Guapo magazine it Dutch too, mmmm?
The music is a bit poppy, ok if you like that, but it's just very loud for a small bar.
It you want to submerse yourself in the Spanish thing then the Coco loco is not the place to be.
Ajoining the Coco Loco is a truely Loco bar, totally different - and Spanish the. The Terry Show
. Unless you are clinically deaf you will notice that the music is very loud at both bars, thats ok, but less than 1 meter separates them.
Terry Show which plays old and modern "Diva" type Spanish music almost equally loud as opposed to the Coco loco that plays pop from about 6 months old to 6 years old.
However, the Terry Show is a showbar! a mini theatre.
It's unoffical war with loud music between these two barsand, if style counts, and fortuneately it does, the Spanish wins most times, correction - every time!
The bar next to the Coco loco is the only Spanish owned and run gay bar in the Yumbo
Given they both complain about each other music regularly, the only soluion they could come to was for both to have their music as high as they can; and it's become a "stalemate tradition."

Coco Loco = Coco NoNo Give the Coco Loco a Miss

if you want some latino spirit, don't go to the Coco loco, instead be brave and walk one meter more and go to the Terry Show.

You may detect a tone here, you right, what narks most people is that when the Terry Show do their drag show, a traditional old act, the Coco Loco seem to increase the volume of their music, at least they never ever lower it, not even for any kind of special or traditional or local Spanish occasion for the duration of the drag show. Zero points for the Coco Loco
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a drag lover, most of them frighten me and I have 16" biceps.
Admittedly the Terry show, in particular Terry himself, is a cross between Lilly Savage and Les Dawson (that's a growly gravel voice if you're under 30) and in Spanish. In short the old man is a tradition and some of his acts are over 70 years old, and to see them perform against maximum volume strength music from the Coco Loco makes them seem pathetic, and thats more than sad, that's bad and disrespectful! The Dutch (Deutsch) speak English.
We know that the Spanish language is a big barrier for Brits, so we have a few pages to help you get up and running, see the icon at the top of the page.

The Gay scene is very much alive and in some ways has changed for the better. Some bars clubs and cafes have closed or changed hands and a few new ones opened,
The core and most of the old favourites are still here and some welcome new arrivals like Letche Letche and our own Cafe Florin have established themselves quite well

Tough one this, Pontins 3 nights £35 per per person per night! or Gran Canaria £11 per per per night.
Gran Canaria is better value?
