I will be going to Cozemel in March on a Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship. What sights should I be sure to see? |
Travel Info I have never been to Mexico and would like to be sure to see something other than commercial tourist traps. Would like to do a bit of shopping and some site seeing and a trip to the beach. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you. Travel Tips When you dock, head to the downtown area. In Cozumel, most cruise ships dock on Wednesdays, so you won't have too much weekend crowding. Once downtown, you can rent cars for about 30-40$ US (300-400 pesos) a day. Then from there, I would recommend the drive around the Island. There are several places where you can stop and snorkel, relax at the beach, and eat good food. The whole drive is about 45 minutes. Another great thing to do is visit Parque Chankanaab, a park where you can snorkel, visit various animal exhibits, relax at the beach, and all sorts of other stuff. Although it is very touristy, there are some great experiences there. You can swim with dolphins (in a docked off section of the ocean), and swim with sea lions. These experiences can be booked as part of a package, and generally need to be reserved in advance. When you return to downtown, there are some great local shops where you can buy some authentic Mexican items. Others For the trip to the beach, just grab a cab at the dock and ask for Paradise Beach. No charge, but nice beach with chairs, refreshment stand, friendly (but not pushy) waiters. http://www.paradise-beach-cozumel.net/... Went there in 2004. ask them on the ship the cruise directors All the shopping in Cozumel is right where the cruises dock. There are lots of stores including Diamonds International, the biggest jewelor in the Carribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska. I would take a tour to Tulum on the mainland to see the Mayan Ruins. The beaches are great and private there, also the ruins are amazing. |
