Costa Maya, MEXICO?


Travel Info
Anyone been to Costa Maya, Mexico? How do you like it? what is there to do there? free public beaches? And where is it located?

We are going there on a cruise in SEPT 07! would like some info.

Travel Tips
Costa Maya and Riviera Maya, are located on the Yucatan Peninsula, in Mexico. If you are going on a Cruise, you'll probably go to Cozumel, where you'll find the second larger coral reef in the world, so if you like snorkel or diving, you'll love it. There's also jewelry stores offering tax free luxury stuff.

Costa Maya refers to an area S of Cancun where its deep enough for the cruise ships to pull in / anchor. They use this stop primarily so you can visit the Mayan ruins at Chicen Itza (about 3 hrs inland by motorcoach) and to visit Tulum (ruins overlooking the ocean). Chicen Itza is fascinating - Tulum is nice but 1/2 hour there is enough and they usually combine a visit to Tulum with a trip to Xel-ha for snorkeling, walking through lagoons, picnic, etc. There is also the eco-park- Xcaret. Also very interesting. There are a lot of different shore excusion activities available besides these, including parasailing, snorkeling, scuba, etc. If you have kids, Xcaret, or Tulum/Xel-Ha would be great for them and you. Chicen Itza, is fascinating and would be great for aldults, teens, and some pre-teens, but might not be very interesting for younger children. There are also some very nice beaches that you can visit either by taxi or on a shore excursion.
iwent there on a cruise also and stopped at cozumel they were both great there were free beaches everywhere we stopped. also different things you could do.on your tv in your cabin there will be different stuff you could do if you plan on doing other things like scubba, or horseback riding ... the ideal amount of money that would wise just for the excursions would be about $500.00 - $1000.00 we didn't have this to spend but next time i will deffinately be prepared.
you will have a blast!!!!!
have fun!
