Jamie's Blue Reef Hotel and Beach day! All Inclusive!

[crusin-4-fun]

I was concerned about finding a All Inclusive in Mahahual Costa Maya and thought I'd try Jamie's! Wow! What a great find. Small with very personal service. Thanks Digby! The drinks were great, food great, service great. Clean small beach, no sea grass problem at all. Water clear! Vendors plenty but a no thank you did the trick. The people working at Jamie's very nice and considerate. It's down a bit from most other beach resorts but well worth the walk in my opinion! The only thing that was concerning was the taxi ride back to the port being solo cost me twice the fee!!  Going to Jamie's normal fee.???  You do have to walk out of the port n to the second taxi area. No problem at all! Looking forward to my next trip to Mahahual and going to Jamie's again!!    playadejaime4@gmail.com for more information!

I've known Jaime since his old Playa days. Then his Nohoch Kay adventure.  Great guy! Knows everyone.  Keeps the hawkers away.  

While I do walk up and down the malecon and see what's happening (used to spend a bit of time with Steve at Tropicante--sadly no more-- and look in on Fernando), we always park our bags and butts at Jaime's.

Would love to hear more!  What is included with the all-inclusive?

OMG Yes I loved Jaime's Blue Reef it was awesome!!!!!! Digby was amazing and so attentive! It was like being in a private resort.  well worth the $50  I think I got taken for my taxi rides but considering they have been with out any tourists for ages I didn't mind paying a little more. it was me and one other couple when I was there and it was an amazing day!!!!  The water was perfect they have put up some kind of fencing to help with the seagrass. I'm sailing again in January and definitely going back

How much was your taxi ride? I hadn’t heard they had gone up. Did you pay the same each way?

they quoted me $8 which I knew was a bit more than normal before Covid but I didn't negotiate as I was just wanting to get to my location

Not sure how many in your group but the going rate has been $8 per taxi, (for up to 4 people) for some time now. It used to be $2pp.

Do you have to pay a deposit, or in full?

 

Any PAYG options?

Edited October 23, 2021 by c-leg5

No deposit needed. Booked inclusive, but was asked if I wanted PAYG. They offer both.

Thanks - good to know!

 

We have six visits to Costa Maya next year so looking for some new ideas!

Unless coaster comes back with updates, we're there at the tail end of November.  As always plan on walking around and seeing what's what.  By next year I would expect everything to be back up.

But on one of your visits you should check with Native Choice and do the Blue Lagoon, if you've never been.

I promise to report back!

Can you check out locations of la chilanganoense and Krazy Lobster if you have time, Crew? Trying to work out if they have moved.

 

If sargassum  isn’t  too bad I think we may give Luna de Plata another try. We only stayed a very short time last time as it was raining but I would like to try lunch there. It seemed a lot quieter but I am not sure they have baffles for the sargassum like the rest of the malecon have installed.

That's weird.  I just booked our spots too and there was a $25 deposit.

We'll be there November 10.  Assuming RC doesn't change the itinerary...

It was just me and maybe the going rate had gone up not sure. But It didn't really matter these folks have been without tourist $ for ages and I was glad to pay whatever.

If you were alone sounds like you paid the going rate.

When Jaime answered my email to book the day pass, he mentioned that the taxi rate had gone up but he didn't say what the current charge was.  What did you pay?

Glad to hear that.  I started to get worried that I had booked at the wrong place. 🙂
