Montezumas revenge

Has anyone had any ill effects from frozen marguritas or eating the ice in your drinks, while in Cozumel?

From what I hear/read, most of the places use purified water for their drinks and cooking.

[candacec]

Short answer, yes. Either order on the rocks and drink really fast before the ice melts :) Or just stick to drinks that come in a can or bottle. They all tell you they use 'purified water'. I would only believe that from the larger chain restaurants.

I have been going to Cozumel for over 40 years and never had any problems with eating or drinking anything there. Eat, drink, get drunk, fall down and have a great time.

I wouldn't trust the food from a street vendor in the States, let alone another country with looser health inspection standards.

5 trips now and have never gotten sick at all . We have eaten and had drinks in MANY different places from large to tiny local places- always great!:D

Ditto -- 3 cruises and 2 land vacations. No problems in town or around the island. :D

Ditto!

 

The Yucatan (including Cozumel) geologic structure is limestone which effectively filters the water.

Mexico city, however, is a whole nuther issue. Montezuma attacked me while on the flight home.:eek:

I've had it... :(

NOT FUN...

 

But it was my own fault, we stayed at a condo that year and I got up in the middle of the night thirsty and drank from the faucet instead of the water bottle supplied. BIG MISTAKE!

 

I've been back 4 times with no problems and I always eat at big restaurants and local restaurants with no problems... :D
