    Best Beach Day

    in Cozumel

    Posted

    Water toys are extra at Paradise and Sanchos.

     

    Food and drink menu is slightly diffferent at Sanchos for AI and PAYG - not everything is on AI.

    Maybe look at day passes to AI hotel resorts if you want quieter.

    We are looking for the toys and things for the kids. We just didn't want to go to the cruise excursion destinations with 6 ships in Port that day. Kids want a fun beach day, and good food is a way to help decide. We live on the border, so getting a fill of Mexican food isn't a big deal. We prefer quality over quantity.

    Recent reports on the non-AI side of Sanchos have been negative. There is only one small pool.

     

    PB is larger, offers a HUGE pool, plus better (IMHO) facilities -- changing rooms, lockers, etc.

     

    Your call. :cool:

    But is the food charge worth the cost? I think my decision is hinting on the quality of the food. Also is all the water stuff, like inflatables, included or extra at Mr Sancho's? There website was hard to figure out what is included in the AI.

    Because they offer AI you'll see people drinking more than normally at Sanchos -- not quite a frat party, but certainly more lively than some others.

    Thanks. It's it better to be in the ai side it the alacarte side? Which place has better food? Probably won't drink while at the beach or more than one each anyway.

    We really like Playa Mia. We have never found it as crowded as Paradise. Lots to do there.

    My worry with playa Mia is the ship does excursions there. With several ships in Port, I'm worried everything will be crowded. It isn't fun if it is too crowded to get to use things. I honestly wish we weren't traveling during school vacation time.

    I will have to look up Paradise beach. Isn't Mr Sancho's known for the drunk college party atmosphere? Most of what I had seen was chakanaab and playa Mia. I figured those will both be packed with families.

    I know this is a common thread, but what beach is best for a simple beach day? My kids (9 & 11) want there to be plenty to do. Maybe trampolines, paddleboards, watertrikes, and things along those lines. My husband and I would prefer less crowded and decent food (AI or not). There will be 6 ships in port, and it will be late December. Help! My only experience in Cozumel was shopping, and a week long dive trip.

    Thank you for this review. I have been debating things. It looks like there are only 2 ships in a Jamaica pretty that day, but most will go to Dunn's. I want my kids to have fun, but there was a disagreement on what to do. This looks like the best thing to get close to what everyone wants.

    We used Ricardo with Liberty Tours and had a blast. We found him through Trip Advisor and he has lots of great reviews. Our kids thought it was one of the best excursions ever. He replied to us quickly when we contacted him at libertytoursjamaica.com. Hope you guys have fun.

    Thank you. I'm going to setup an awesome excursion in each place. I am trying to avoid so excisions because I don't want to be packed like sardines.
