We have been to Costa Maya around 12 times. 1 time we went to the ruins, 2 time to went to the beach in the little town down from the port, 1 time we made it into the port and turned around. That means 8 times we never go off the boat. Costa Maya is not a favorite port of ours. We have cruised 60 times and some ports get off every time but not there. That is just us.
