Beach Escape, Costa Maya — Attraction in Quintana Roo

I booked this as an excursion through Royal Caribbean. I would not recommend this excursion to anyone. If all you care about is getting drunk then maybe this one is for you but if you want anything else this is not it. The “beach” is SO CROWDED. The provided chairs are literally shoulder to shoulder with strangers. The beach is not good and it’s so crowded that the water is gross. The vendors at this stop are RELENTLESS in their harassment of buying their goods, you can’t even sit in peace because they have children coming up to you trying to sell you things and when you tell one person no the next one comes right behind them. The food is very mid and the drinks are just okay. We ended up wandering down to the public beach access which is a little better but in complete honesty the costa Maya port is awesome and I wish I just stayed on port. The water was beautiful there, they had multiple pools and restaurants and beach access that was SO MUCH nicer and you don’t have to be bothered with the hassle of waiting for your groups...

Came with an excursion group from Norwegian ship. Drinks included with price and great service. Food was for purchase, a little spendy but I was fine with it. Take visa and Mastercard. Lots of people peddling wares, just say no and they say have a good day. Water was beautiful and lots of fish and birds around. Very clean and security on site so you can leave your things to go...

Should have known from the photos—it’s not even on the coast so how could there be a beach? Everyone who is reviewing must have been driven here (to a different location). Don’t make the mistake we did—it’s a very hot...
