Corn Island is crazy about music. By day, it’s the background sound to a laid-back lifestyle; by night, lots of it and the louder the better. As owner of Hotel Paraiso on Corn Island, there are two things that would put me out of business fast: run out of ice or a sound system failure.
Corn Island is filled with music from when the roosters crow till the last bar shuts down. The islanders like it booming. The credo is, if you can’t feel the music, it’s just not loud enough. So in most bars the speakers are on full distortion level volume.
