Costa Maya

Not worth it!

Costa Maya  — 1 year ago

This was the first port of call on a cruise i was on a few years ago. i say avoid the main tourist-section of this place like the plague- it’s dreadful. American and over-priced, like being to the Disney-version of what Mexico should really look like. i even saw people dressed as Mayans wandering around!!! >:/
We high-tailed it out of that area to go on a snorkeling tour which, was alright, but certainly not one of the more amazing reefs out there.
i say if your ship happens to stop here or if you’re near-by, no sense in not giving it a walk-through, but otherwise, avoid.

Oh, i hope my review wasn’t misleading. xD i’m pretty sure i’m describing Costa Maya… it was very small with some touristy shops and bars… and a pool. O__o
The snorkeling tour we went on was arranged by the ship and took us far out of the tourist area to.. well.. the middle of nowhere, really…
i really don’t know why Cruse Ships bother stopping there! xD;;
