Reese1203 Posted July 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So, I'm researching Cozumel excursions for our cruise on The Imagination this December. The "La Casa en La Playa - A Select Retreat" caught my eye. It sounds great, but there are no reviews or pictures. Does anyone know anything about this place? Thanks!

scrawford80 Posted July 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2013 We are headed to Cozumel in less than 2 weeks and just saw this excursion pop up. I did some research and found that the tour company that offers this excursion is called Tripping Cool Group and they have a fb page with pictures of this place. I asked a lot of questions of the operator and found out that the excursion is limited to 24 people a day, includes open bar, waitstaff, kayaking, snorkeling, a personal chef, etc.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrawford80 Posted August 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Carnival cancelled this excursion on the morning of it due to lack of participation. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-leg5 Posted August 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Carnival cancelled this excursion on the morning of it due to lack of participation. :-( Not very good for a new tour they are trying to promote. May be the owners will think twice about Carnival exclusivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a small group of five and they only had 4 tickets left for our Freedom cruise but we grabbed them just in case. I immediatley contacted John H to see if there was any chance of getting another one. Then after seeing your post, contacted the vendor directly. I’ve already heard back from both Carnival (John) and the vendor and it looks like they might be able to work this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okCmeNwater Posted October 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2013 How was it? Anyone been yet? We just booked it for the 28th. Kinda pricey off Carnival but couldn't find where it could be booked w/ Cool Trippings Group FB. Worth the $120 ea???:(:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted October 28, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I just looked it up and it's listing at $99.99 each through Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluvendale Posted October 29, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I just looked it up and it's listing at $99.99 each through Carnival. Until I go to book it, then it shows $129! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okCmeNwater Posted October 29, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Starts @ $99 but when you go into book, it turns to 129. Noticed it said there was only 12 more spots left too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted October 29, 2013 #13 Share Posted October 29, 2013 $129 is almost enough to pay for admission for two plus cabs to/from Nachi -- I cannot see it being worth $129 each. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okCmeNwater Posted October 31, 2013 #14 Share Posted October 31, 2013 :cool: O well, booked it. Thought it'll be worth every penny if we get away from the crowds/children for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photomom217 Posted October 31, 2013 #15 Share Posted October 31, 2013 After much review, I decided to go with La Casa en La Playa. Please share pics, okCmeNwater, when you get back:-) We go in April, I can hardly wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonstaring Posted November 7, 2013 #16 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We've booked this excursion for our Carnival Sunshine cruise on Dec 8, we'll be there on Dec 13, and have heard great things about it. I'll let you know how it goes. Sent from my HTC One V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dogsrule Posted November 7, 2013 #17 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I've booked it too, got the last slot, will be there Dec 9th, can't wait! Mine was $119. Have been to Nachi several times, last time noticed the menu was reduced and the food wasn't quite as good. By the time I pay $55 for Nachi and around $30 for round trip taxi, this was only $35 more, it sounds like it'll be worth the splurge. Hope so!!

WiseGirl Posted December 16, 2013 #23 Share Posted December 16, 2013 We're booked on this excursion on an upcoming Victory cruise. There are over 70 reviews of it on the Carnival web site - check them out. It has a five star rating and almost everyone gives a rave review of their experience with this excursion. The service, food, drinks, beach and snorkeling all get high marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
