All Inclusive Cozumel

[Chele]

We will be in Cozumel in September and trying to find an AI for a good beach day. I have read about all of the ones offered on Resort For A Day and now really confused! We will have a group of ten - ranging in age from 10 to 60. We like the things offered at Playa Mia - but wondered if it is very crowded since it is also offered by the cruise line. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

[JohninDC]

Playa Mia attracts lots of families because of the water toys and toddler water park -- you can book it on your own and use a taxi (you'll need two cabs for all 10 of you) or go through the cruise line.

 

I would also look at Mr. Sanchos for AI or Paradise Beach for a pay-as-you-go-beach club. Cab fare to all three should be about the same; all of the popular beach clubs are lined up along the same side of the island, so the water/sand quality will be about the same.

Mr Sanchos is great... gets crowded though. Nachi Cocom only allow 100 people in there and it is great as well. Then you have Paradise Beach, Playa Mia, and some others. Sanchos and Nachi are the two most popular.

Not sure a 10 year old will enjoy Nachi - especially if he can look down the beahc and see the water toys at Mr. Sanchos! ;)

Yes but the OP said something about crowds. Sanchos gets crowded. The kids love the pool at Nachi. I just posted about Nachi because they don't want the crowds.

Yes Mr Sanchos has more than Nachi Cocom but if there are adults that are going to be in the water with the kids then just the nice beach and beautiful water is enough. If the kids have never been to A Caribbean Beach they will love anyone of them. Only you know your kid and what he or she will like. I have been to both and have not yet really seen a kid that didn't have fun.

I am sorry if this is a ridiculous question. Do these places take credit cards? I wasn't anticipating taking this kind of cash on my cruise.

[JohninDC]

Check their web sites. We prefer to use cash in Mexico instead of credit cards.

Nachi Cocom hands down! Great place, great price, beautiful beach, nice pool with swim up bar. fun for all and the food is great as well.

We loved Nachi Cocum, but we won't be going back this time because we want better snorkeling options. Nothing to see in the water at Nachi Cocum, although the food, beach, pool, and drinks are wonderful. I would highly recommend it unless you need snorkeling.

Yes, no good snorkeling anywhere in that area of the island. The hurricane and storms knocked them out. Used to be great back in the day.

 

Where are you going this time around?

Nachi takes credit cards. You put down a modest deposit ($10?) and then you can pay the rest by credit card.

[ekajun1957]

They do have a 15% charge if you use credit card at Nachi Cocom. I

I have never used a credit card there, but I do not think so - have you checked their web site? :confused:

Thinking of Cozumel Palace, Fiesta Americana, Iberostar, or Grand Royal. We want snorkeling and a pool. A beach with sand doesn't matter to us.

I recommend Playa Mia if you are taking children with you. We had a blast there and they play games with the guests and give away shirts. :)

Trying to get the info about Fiesta Americana day pass. I posted a question on another site and a manager from Fiesta Americana answered me saying they'd be happy to welcome us and to send them a message through their Facebook page to get the details and cost of the pass...

 

Problem is I am not a Facebook member. I responded to this effect and have heard nothing back.

 

If you have you obtained any info about Fiesta Americana, could you please share it here?

 

Thanks.

This is what Fiesta Americana sent to me

Hello Jane! Thanks for getting in contact. We have day passes available from 8am til 6pm for $1,870 pesos (100 USD aprox) per adult in All Inclusive plan. Let me know if you have any more questions. Best regards. Angélica Hernández - Social Media

 

I think I read they only take pesos, seen lots of good reviews.

It's our first time to Cozumel I'd like to take my teenagers snorkeling but also want to have a bit of beach time. Nervous about taking a boat to a reef if not scheduled through Carnival in case something happens. Plus we need to go somewhere where there isn't lots of hawkers or people with their hands out for tips, drove my husband crazy in Nassau. No issues tipping for services but it was a little nuts there we got hounded the minute we got off the boat.

This place seems very nice but a little steep for the 4 of us.

I recently received the following information, when I asked:

And children from 5 to 11 years old pay the half of the prices. You can purchase it at the lobby the same day.

 

I used the following email address:

and received a reply quite quickly. HTH

Thanks so much C'mon and C-leg5!

 

I'm a 45 year old married woman with no kids who just never got into Facebook. Fiesta Americana Cozumel has a toll-free number but prefer to communicate online so I have info in writing. Couldn't find an email address directly to the [Cozumel] hotel either.

 

This is my annual girls' trip with my sister and our best friend. $100pp a bit steep, but property looks super nice. Hopefully I can convince them!

 

Thanks again for the info!

 

CC members rock!!
