You can usually find something open at all hours of the night, right through until the morning. Most bars are open till 2am and the discos and nightclubs till 3am while many are open even later. Some of the bars and nightclubs cater to a niche market so it is wise to check before trying to enter some bars to avoid potentially embarrassing moments (this can even mean the language that is predominantly spoken or the style of food that is offered). This applies also to the general atmosphere and the type of crowd that you are likely to find in a particular venue.
Just as an example the nightlife and entertainment found in Puerto Rico is more general and appreciated by a more family audience. The nightlife and entertainment offered in Puerto Rico is also predominantly English. Maspalomas nightlife is far more international where San Agustin nightlife caters to a mainly Scandinavian crowd. Although the Yupi shopping centre does also have a really good Greek restaurant, if you fancy eating something a little different.

Because of the variety of nightlife, most tourists will find something in Maspalomas or Playa del Ingles although with the nightlife expanding as it is, the options open to you, are increasing all the time. Whether you want to taste some local culture or you want nightlife in your own language you will find it here, although Puerto Rico has a large concentration of mainly British nightlife including, bars and nightclubs. No matter what nightlife you choose, you will find that generally, it costs less to have a really good evening here than it would at home.
Most of the nightlife entertainment begins between 9pm and 10pm although the resorts tend to get busier around midnight. The majority of the nightlife is located or centred around the main shopping centres in all the resorts, but if you don't find anything you like at your first choice, it is easy to move onto another shopping centre. A taxi is likely to cost around 3.50 euros if you are travelling locally.
