Adult Friendship 101: Get Excited for Halloween Again
Remember how exciting Halloween felt when you were a kid?
By October 1, you were already thinking about your costume, how much candy you would collect, and whether the neighbors would have your favorite treats. And, of course, there were the plans with your friends after school, going door to door together as if the whole night belonged to you.
Somewhere along the way, growing up made things a little more complicated. Making new friends takes more effort, keeping old friendships alive requires more planning, and between work, responsibilities, and friends who now live in different cities, finding time to simply have fun can be a challenge. If that sounds familiar, check out our guide to making friends from around the world while traveling.
But what if Halloween were a reason to step out of your routine? To book that flight, put together a costume, and enjoy the magic of the night all over again. This time, with the ocean nearby and the beach just a few steps away.

A Place to Bring Everyone Together
At Mayan Monkey, Halloween is an opportunity to do something different, meet new people, and make time for the kind of moments that are harder to plan in everyday life. Sometimes, all it takes is being in the right place, surrounded by people who are there for the same reason: to have a good time.

Welcome to Room 666
With sunset views, the ocean, sand, and a tequila, Room 666 sets the scene for a Halloween worth remembering.
The night comes with plenty to do. Show up in your best costume and join the contest, discover whether pumpkin carving is your hidden talent, or test your knowledge during Scary Movie Trivia. You can also try your hand at spooky shot-making before settling in for a Horror Midnight Movie.
There is no need to plan every minute. Just bring your costume and see where the night takes you.
Unplanned Moments
Maybe you will win the costume contest. Maybe you will meet your new favorite travel buddy while waiting for the next activity, or end up sharing stories with people from the other side of the world.
From Trick or Drink to a late-night horror movie, the best moments often happen when you least expect them. And sometimes, a shared experience is all it takes to turn strangers into friends.
Growing up does not mean the fun has to end. There is still room for spontaneous plans, new friendships, and nights that become stories you will tell for years.

Join us at Room 666 this October 31. Your next favorite Halloween memory might start here.
