cruzn buckeye Posted February 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So, i will be on a Western cruise in April... how is the Seaweed situation coming along?? last year I went to Paradise Beach Club in Cozumel.... it was really nice... except for ... the beach... There was Seaweed and lots of big rocks as you walked in, and so the beach chairs we chose were given up within a few minutes and we spent our day by the pool... still had a good time.. but i am a beach person... How about the beaches in Grand Cayman.. they were fine last Sept., any seaweed issues now? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real problems right now, but that might change tomorrow. Mother nature does what she wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehaams Posted February 15, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've been to Cozumel 6 times and the only time I've ever experienced issues with seaweed was the one year we went to Paradise Beach so we have not been back there. We were told at the time that the issue was related to recent storms so as another poster mentioned Mother Nature sometimes has the last word.

Raxter54 Posted February 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2016 When we were at Nachi Cocom last March, the weather was great,with light winds and small waves and no seaweed. On Feb 5th we were there, and it was cloudy and windy with large waves and lots of seaweed washed up on the beach. But we hardly no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raxter54 Posted February 15, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We were at Nachi Cocom last March, and the weather was perfect, light winds, light surf and no seaweed. On Feb 5th we were there, and it was cloudy, windy, heavy surf aln lots of seaweed washed up on the beach. But - we hardly noticed the seaweed, we were having so much fun playing in the waves. When Mother Nature is contrary, make the best of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzn buckeye Posted February 20, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I understand about Mother Nature... i have cruised during hurricane season many times:) But am taking my adult granddaughter, and i want to go to a beach where there aren't huge rocks and seaweed... went to Paradise beach last year in coz... couldn't even walk a short way into the water... then onto Cayman... beautiful... no rocks perfect day.. Just trying to pick the best place to take her in Coz. Mr. Sanchos is also one of my choices.. that or the Party Catamaran, or Paradise... trying to find out which beach will be the best.. that being said, passion island last year... sand was perfect... friends chose that one... but not sure it will be what my granddaughter is looking for..

Jehaams Posted February 21, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Mr Sanchos is our favorite place to go in Cozumel. Beautiful water, great service and the choice of all inclusive or pay as you go. We've always had a wonderful time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize if you took offense to my statement about Mother Nature - it wasn't directed at you, just a general statement. I would recommend either Nachi Cocom or Mr Sanchos for your trip with your granddaughter. If you are just after a relaxing beach day, go to Nachi. If you want more of an upbeat party atmosphere, then Mr Sanchos. They are actually right next to each other :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jody75 Posted March 15, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2016 We were in Aruba last week of February this year, significant amounts of seaweed at Palm Beach. It was about 12" thick when you walked in at shin level, not very comfortable. Eagle Beach was significantly better, don't understand why it was better !

blue_water Posted March 16, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) The sargassum situation has improved very nicely, at least along the Yucatan. We've been to Playa Del Carmen 5 times over the last year and experienced the worst seaweed in memory last winter/spring. It shifted between Coz and Playa depending on the currents. It has gradually diminished, and while there in November and again 2 weeks ago the shores were very clean and the water beautiful. I would not recommend Passion Island, ask about the current sargassum situation and for beach recommendations on the Coz forum for the best feedback.
