Travel Junkie Judy Posted November 11, 2012 #176 Share Posted November 11, 2012 We coulnd't find it. Walked all the way up and down the malecon and couldn't find it. We were disappointed. I was so looking forward to it. I asked a couple of people and no one seemed to know what I was talking about. Hi, I'm so sorry to hear that. :( We will be there in January and I will update the new location. I know that does not help you, but maybe it will help others. :o If someone goes there sooner, could you please give some landmarks for finding the new location of "Fernando's 100% Agave"? We have not been there since he moved to his new location. Judy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted November 13, 2012 #177 Share Posted November 13, 2012 It is very easy to find. If you are starting at the row of business's that is closest to the ship, walk away from the ship. At the first break in that row, there is a gap both in the building and the beach tables and chairs, that is 100% Agave. It is narrow like many of the bars and restaurants there, but it is two stories. I can't imagine that anyone could miss it???? There are several bars/restaurants all in a group right there and Fernando's is the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otowncruisr Posted December 24, 2012 #181 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Leaving in a week, really hope to hear an update by then :) We just had our second trip back to 100% earlier this month, and it is better than ever. Of course, Fernando and the rest of the staff were really welcoming and nice. Unfortunately we had a short day there, so we didn't get much time there this time. We didn't get any welcome cocktails (although we did last time), but it was earlier in the day and we had young kids with us. There beach area is nice, as is the new restaurant/bar area. We had a michelada, a coke, a couple bottles of water, a small ceviche (which was far from small), and a plate of nachos (also very large). We couldn't finish it all (which I felt bad about), and all of it was very, very good. Total bill, including use of the palapa, beach chairs, etc.) : $20 USD. Best bargain in the Caribbean as far as I'm concerned. For us, getting there was easy. Here's what we did. Walk all the way out of the gates of the cruise center and get a taxi at the taxi stand (walk past the bus thing they have...the taxi is the same cost). We told the taxi driver where we wanted to go and he dropped us off at Fernando's front door. And when we left, Fernando got a taxi for us to get back. Because we didn't walk the malecon this time, it's hard to give landmarks, but I believe it is about a block south of where his previous location was, and the restaurant stretches from the malecon to the street. You should go there...I can't wait to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishclover Posted December 24, 2012 #182 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Thank you so much for the update!!! I am so excited. Im glad that the taxi drivers now know where to go now also. Seemed like 6 months ago they didnt have an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel Junkie Judy Posted January 7, 2013 #183 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So, next Sunday we depart NOLA on NCL Star. Our first stop on Tuesday is Costa Maya and Fernando's! I'll report back after we get home.... Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritweevil Posted January 7, 2013 #184 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks so much Miss Judy. We are headed to Fernando's next month and would love to hear your thoughts, from someone who has been to the old fernando's and now checking out the new set up. This will be our first time there and we are really excited about it. Can you check and see if Frenando's has jet ski rentals and how much they are? It seems like some of the beach bars have this. Can't wait to hear what you think. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like massages, this is one of the best and cheapest in the Caribbean & they are right on the beach. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenjmull2 Posted January 8, 2013 #187 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I think we are going to go to agave on our cruise. We were thinking about nakocay beach but we don't drink that much that early in the day. We are only in port till 2 pm. I hope to hear a few more reviews.

cruisingfreaks Posted January 21, 2013 #188 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just wanting to check that kids (13&15) can go to Agave? We are considering doing this and the beach with our two girls in March. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has tables inside or out on the beach. He also has free Internet, but you need to be inside or nearby. His food is still awesome and his prices are very reasonable. I'm so glad we went back. I love the new beach location. I will try to post photos, but it will be a week or so before I can get to it. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted January 23, 2013 #190 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Travel Junkie Judy, Please tell us as much as possible about 100%, food, drink, chairs on beach, massage in the area. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The food is fresh - the fish is the best. I don't remember our total bill, but it was very inexpensive. There are many massage tables all up and down the beach. 45 minutes for $20 - I think. There are all kinds of rentals also - snorkeling, small boats, etc. I don't know the costs. I will attempt to attach photos. Judy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zounds Posted January 23, 2013 #193 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We were on the Star in Costa Maya on Jan. 8 and headed straight to Fernando's (Agave). We had been to the old place 2 yrs. ago. Fernando welcomed us as old friends and we sat behind the plastic sheet on 2d floor on the right of the photo. Thanks for posting them! See my account on the NCL board, but it seems like DW and I had a total of 5 shots, 1 margarita, 1 beer, 2 orders of seafood tacos (3 ea. w/soft tortillas), guacamole, chips, 4 or 5 hot sauces, and a 20 oz. "water bottle" to go. All for $25. US, plus a $5.tip. Can't beat it. About a dozen Disney crew members were also there, all eating and texting. Wife got a 1 hr. $25. massage at El Faro, just down the block. We LOVE Costa Maya! steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmeyer513 Posted February 2, 2013 #195 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Just out of curiosity, how early do you recommend getting to Agave to make sure you get a seat? Do you know what time they open? Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what time they open? Thanks for any advice. You can arrive at any time. Fernando has enlarged the restaurant and there should be no problem getting a table. He has tables on the first floor, tables on the beach and tables upstairs with an awesome view. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claybelle Posted February 7, 2013 #197 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hubby and I aren't drinkers. Would we still enjoy a day at Fernandos or should we search for another option? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we still enjoy a day at Fernandos or should we search for another option? :rolleyes: You don't have to be a drinker to love Fernando's. I usually only have one drink. Our friends that went with us twice are both non-drinkers - one is in AA. They love Fernando's & drink coke. Fernando will also make virgin punch for you if you ask. It does help if you like good food at reasonable prices. Liking fresh fish is also a plus, but not totally necessary. AND - it helps if you like beautiful ocean views of a wonderful beach.
