monicajay Posted December 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2010 December 15th has come and gone. Paradise Beach is still showing a sketch of the new pool facility on their web-site. Who will be the first to post some up-to-date pictures even if it is not complete, let's see where it is at. Anybody been there lately??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imluvncruzn Posted December 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I spoke to Colleen, whom I believe is the new Manager at PB, via facebook yesterday. I asked her if the pool opened, as scheduled. She said, "We are doing our very best and the water should be in the pool by Saturday". I asked her to post pics as soon as she can. I will post here, as I find out more info. I'll be visiting PB myself in a few weeks and will take lots of pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slkmbz Posted December 19, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 19, 2010 We are definately interested in knowing the status. We are to be in Cozumel on Christmas day. If it's not up and running we may just shop around the terminal but if it's ready we want to be one of the first to experience the new Paradise Beach!

tiggrbaby Posted December 19, 2010 #4 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Any word on what they will be charging now that they have a pool? Can we still get on the beach for free to snorkel and just buy drinks/snacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Jolly Posted December 20, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2010 How much does it cost for jet skis and parasailing please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted December 20, 2010 #6 Share Posted December 20, 2010 How much does it cost for jet skis and parasailing please? I am thinking the jet skis run about $55 for 1/2 and parasailing about $55 for one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzkaylor Posted December 23, 2010 #13 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Can someone confirm a few things for me. We are on Imagination 12/27. We want to go to Paradise. I don't think we need reservations - is that correct? And how do you pay. I noticed some places required cash. It is my understanding that this isn't an excursion but you just take a taxi from the pier. Does anyone know the cost? We can't wait- this place looks awesome.

tiggrbaby Posted December 23, 2010 #14 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Do they charge for the pool? What's the water temperature? Was it open to the public? It looked empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my understanding that this isn't an excursion but you just take a taxi from the pier. Does anyone know the cost? We can't wait- this place looks awesome. A taxi will run you $12-15 (depending on where you dock) ONE WAY for up to 4 people. If you are just a couple, check into a larger van going that way and see if you can get it for $5 each (each way). There are always plenty of taxis....so don't worry about being able to catch one back. You do NOT need reservations. There is no entrance fee. There is a $2 to use a lounge chair/table/umbrella on the beach. There is an OPTIONAL (not required) wristband if you want to use the nonmotorized water toys....kayaking, snorkeling, you can even climb a coconut tree (did that...made it to the top)... ENJOY !!!

We docked on the southern-most pier of the 3. The taxi ride from there was $13 each way. We loved it there. It's a nice beach, and the inflatable slides and iceberg out on the water were so much fun!

dst Posted December 25, 2010 #22 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Elaine - Tom had started a party bus tour a few years back and it was starting to be profitable :) So he decided to dedicate more time and energy to its success - we will miss him on our trips to PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monicajay Posted December 25, 2010 Author #23 Share Posted December 25, 2010 We too will miss Tom. He went to the same college in Canada as my husband and we had lots of 'hockey' talk with him. Brought him maple syrup from Quebec (his home) and had the best drinks in exchange. Hoping the new manager will be able to fill his shoes and of course wishing Tom the best of luck in his new business venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjthecruiser Posted December 26, 2010 #24 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Hi everyone, Thanks for the beautiful pics. Is there decent snorkeling off the beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted December 26, 2010 #25 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Hi everyone,Thanks for the beautiful pics. Is there decent snorkeling off the beach? At Paradise Beach, kind of, maybe. There's a pier along the southern edge (to the left when looking at the water), and at the end of that pier, there are a ton of fish that congregate around there, especially at the ladder entrance to the water. It was pretty cool seeing all those fish there. There's no coral; the fish seem to be attracted to the shade and whatever groes on what holds the pier up. But I didn't check around anywhere else, nor did I see people snorkeling elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
