Rare crewsweeper Posted September 26, 2013 #26 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks for the leg work Chris. Looking forward to the rest of your articles. Unfortunately from my view, the attraction of Costa Maya--t's "rustic" environment, appears to be heading toward the "cookie cutter" Disneyesque model that has befallen many Western Caribbean ports. But if successful it will bring much needed economic improvement to people who live in the area and are still struggling to get on their feet after Dennis and Wilma in 2005. So that's a communal "good thing", as Mahahual wasn't "rustic" by design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rare Cruise Critic Chris Posted September 27, 2013 Author Members #27 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Thanks for your patience, everyone! The info is now live on this forum, on a new thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1920888. I'm going to ask Laura, our community guru, to make it a sticky.

Rare crewsweeper Posted September 27, 2013 #28 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Nice summary, Chris. :) I hope Laura can make it a sticky. You may wish to note that Playa Uvero is not located directly at the cruise port and is north of the port where as the Mahaual and the malecon beaches are to the south.

crusinpsychRN Posted October 9, 2013 #29 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There used to be an excursion, Temazcal Ceremony. I emailed the place but have gotten no answer. Is it still available? http://www.costamaya-mexico.com/tours/ This is the site where I saw it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They run their tours based on interest from the cruise line, and I have a feeling that they stopped offering them after the Mayan calendar changed (at least I don't see it on any of the cruise line's websites). One hotel, Quinto Sole, was looking at adding an excursion that uses a temazcal that they have on a sister property, but it's not in place yet.

Lidolounger Posted March 3, 2014 #35 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks for your suggestions. I will be going down there independently and staying a few days so I can see as much as possible. I already plan to visit as many of the beach resorts that I can. I will also check out Native Choice tours, go kayaking in Balacar and do an ATV tour. Anything else? Let me know! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Try 100% Agave. It is about a block behind the beach venders. Fabulous authentic food explained by Fernando, the owner.huge portions.quite inexpensive.
