ShellyinGreenvilleSC Posted April 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2014 We cruise in a week and I just looked and found that there will be 7 cruise ships at port in Cozumel while we are there. We were planning to go to Paradise Beach. Our ship doesn't arrive until after most of the other ships (by about 2 hours). What are our chances at getting into Paradise Beach and is it even worth it to go? I don't mind crowded, but I definitely want to have a seat and use some of the beach toys/equipment. Will it all be picked over and we'll be left standing around? What are some other suggestions for making the most of what appears will be a very crowded place?

panoramaofthepast Posted April 6, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hello? Did this post right? Yes, it posted. Does Nachi have any openings? That will be very quiet and since they limit the numbers to 100, it won't matter if the other ships get in first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaribbeanBound Posted April 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Just back from Cozumel, Mexico... The last time we were here we took a horseback tour "through the jungle and visited Mayan ruins". Translation: we rode two emaciated horses through the woods and visited a small pile of rocks. This time we were hoping for better and settled on an all-inclusive resort to chillax. But which resort? A very helpful Cruise Critic member summed up the choices this way: Relaxing beach day = Nachi-Cocom. Party atmosphere = Mr. Sanchos. Kid friendly = Playa Mia or Paradise Beach. If you want snorkeling, Chankanaab or Money Bar is your spot. Since 5 cruise ships were in port (about 10,000 passengers and crew), we booked this one early; and we chose Nachi-Cocom because we wanted to relax and they limit their resort to only 100 visitors per day. The US$55 per person charge includes lounge chairs under a Palapa (natural umbrella), hammocks, all you can drink (open bar including: beer, liquors, cocktails, water, wine, sodas, juices and bottled water), and a 4 course lunch served a la carte at your leisure. Bring towels from ship. Taxi is $16 each way for up to 4 passengers. A 5th passenger is $5 more. (Then it gets ridiculous if you have 6 passengers. 6 - 8 passengers is $32). Nachi Cocom is a nice facility with a beautiful beach. Service was good. Drinks and food were excellent. I also enjoyed a 45 minute massage for $50 plus tip. They have a pool with a swim-up bar, hot tub, and a pier. My wife said she'd like to come back here the next time we're in Cozumel.

OCruisers Posted April 7, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's normal for Cozumel to have LOTS of ships in port. Don't worry about it. :) LuLu ~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
