metsfan1968 Posted May 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Gonna be in Cozumel from 7:00am to 7:00pm, August 23 ... two adults and one 9-year old. Would like to do an all-inclusive day pass. Recommendations for the best one with the kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted May 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2018 For AI check out Mr. Sanchos - AI for adults is about $50 each, less for your 9-year old. Extra fee for the water toys. several pools, good facilities, food, drinks and service. It can get crowded on busy port days. Nachi Cocom is another option, but with no water toys, etc. your 9-year old might be bored. Smaller, never crowded (limited to 130 guests per day), and with great food/drinks/service. Small pool w/swim-up bar. Both will be about a $17 cab ride from the piers. Good luck and have a great cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-leg5 Posted May 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Do you want a beach club, or hotel resort day pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan1968 Posted May 30, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Do you want a beach club, or hotel resort day pass? I'm looking for something that includes beach activities (including things to keep a 9-yr old occupied), food, and drinks. So I think either would work.

JohninDC Posted May 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Not AI, but Paradise Beach also offers great facilities, water toys, a HUGE pool, and good food/drinks/service (pay as you go). $3 admission/chair rental and extra for the water toys - the place is never full because it is so large. IMHO it offers better facilities than Sanchos. Your call! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan1968 Posted May 31, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted May 31, 2018 So what options are there? I've seen: Mr. Sanchos Playa Mia Paradise Beach (not AI) Chankanaab Park (not AI) Nachi Cocom El Cozumeleno Allegro Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-leg5 Posted May 31, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2018 That probably covers the main ones for a kid that age but alternatives listed at https://cozumelcruiseexcursions.com/ And https://www.***********************/IndexTourDirectory/BeachesWatersports.htm (cozumel water sports beaches and water sports) I think Playa Uvas also has AI option. Some of the hotel resorts also offer kids club activities included in day pass but I have never used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-leg5 Posted May 31, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thank you. That second link displays as all asterisks and doesn't work. That was why I wrote it out, don’t know why it edited the second and not the first. You will have to use google to get website. Lots of day passes listed. I have booked through them and direct with resort, sometimes it us cheaper direct sometimes through a broker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbendel1963 Posted June 8, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Has anyone done the day pass to Secrets Aura for adults only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-leg5 Posted June 8, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Has anyone done the day pass to Secrets Aura for adults only? It is mentioned occasionally. Put “secrets” in search engine on top right of Cozumel forum and you will get some hits. Here is one https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2274956&highlight=Secrets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan1968 Posted August 28, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted August 28, 2018 We ended up doing Paradise Beach. Ultimately, it cost us about what it would've cost to do an all-inclusive - but it did give us the chance to pick whatever we wanted to eat instead of doing a buffet. Tacos were good. My drink was kinda weak. Fiancee liked hers. Beach was nice. Waterpark blowups were good. Kayaking was ok - limited area. Snorkeling was ok early in the day. Nothing great but for me and my fiancee's 9-year old, we saw some fish and a ray. As others have said, as the day went on, sand got kicked up, and visibility even for the limited stuff there was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
