Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Day with Open Bar
Description
Spend your Costa Maya day exactly how a beach day should feel — Caribbean water in front of you, a cold drink in hand, and nowhere you need to rush off to next. In the heart of Mahahual, settle into your guaranteed lounge chair under a palapa or umbrella, then make the day your own. Swim in the Caribbean, soak up the sun, or relax in the shade with your favorite drink from the full open bar. And this isn’t just drinks and a basic beach snack. Come hungry. Choose from freshly prepared food, including ceviche, tacos, seafood dishes, and vegetarian options, while the open bar keeps the piña coladas, margaritas, tequila, Mexican beer, and other favorites coming. There’s no packed itinerary to follow. Eat when you’re hungry, swim when you feel like it, order another drink, or stay right where you are and enjoy the beach. It’s an easygoing Costa Maya beach day, made to enjoy at your own pace. With roundtrip transportation available, getting to the beach and back is just as easy

When we arrived at the “beach” which was actually just a small bay, the tide was out and it didn’t look pleasing. We took a snorkeling tour, which was great, when we returned, the tide was in and the bay was much better. The food and drinks were fantastic and Mario, the gentleman in charge was great.
This was a great bargin. Everything is included (food, drinks, and seating on the beach). The food menu was quite extensive and even though I did not fully partake of all the drinks, it still was good. The beach is very shallow, so it made actual swimming hard, but it still was good. The only thing is you will be inundated with folks on the beach trying to get you to buy stuff. You will be picked up at the cruise port (if that is how you arrived). Be mindful that you have to walk all the way outside the gate entrance, maybe a 10-15 minute walk. When you are ready to leave, just let the staff know and they will get you a return taxi. (I think the cost was included, as the driver did not ask for any payment.)
Throughly enjoyed the experience , the transportation was reliable. The service was exceptional & efficient. Food was good as well.
Great experience….fun for all! Enjoyed a relaxing day in the provided beach chairs while the kids had fun on the inflatable obstacle course, paddle boards and kayaks.
Worst experience ever！ Worst experience ever! We booked the package with the option of going there without transportation. We went there using the address provided and we could not find the place. The local people said that address is just for the general beach area instead of the actual place. We contacted the number listed in our booking and he said we got to meet at the port. He gave no help to finding the correct place!
I went solo and it was very obvious that you will be treated very differently from anyone that is in a larger group. I was asked by staff not once but twice to move chaise loungers to accommodate a larger group that arrived after I had already settled in. When time to get a drink I was passed by multiple times by waiters who were more than attentive to the larger groups and ended up having to go fetch my drink at the actual bar rather than be waited on . The “beach” was a roped off area that you had to walk across lots of rocks in order to enjoy the water. Overall not what I had hoped for, rather disappointing compared to my other NCL excursions I booked while on my 7 day Caribbean cruise.
The view was great, easy to get to, and the staff were fantastic. The food was very good as well. Getting a taxi at the end of our day took 5 min, so we made it back to the ship in plenty of time. When we come back to this port, we would do this again.
Excellent little get away. Had our own private driver throughout the entire day. Our beach was cleaned of debris. Our food was good and authentic. We even paid extra for beach massages. Everyone spoke good English. The only slight downfall is having to walk outside thr port area and try to find the right person who is your guide for the day. They brought us as many drinks and plates of food directly to the beach as we could consume.
Nice spot, great waiter who was very attentive, food was really good! We had little tables with the chairs and umbrella for food and drinks. I would definitely recommend
Very good. They are friendly and we were very well served. The beach is calm and good to stand up and kayak.
