We are looking at heading to this small village on our stop at the end of April to get away from the port area. Has anybody been.? Tips or advice on best establishment to spend the day?

 

Thank you

Walk outside of the port area and take a taxi to the beach ($2 pp each way). Go to Tropicante. Owned by an ex-pat, Steve, who's wonderful. You can reserve a table/chairs prior to sailing. Here's his website:

We've been 4 times and the food and drinks are great and you're right on the beach. Don't forget to try the chicken and sour cream enchiladas...simply the best in the world!

I agree - go to Tropicante. We loved it. As FraudBroad said, Steve is a great guy. He goes around and chats with everyone and makes sure you have all you need. Food is great and beer is cheap :)

Tropicante is actually the one place I really liked and was leaning towards:)

Went there with our two kids in November. We took the trolley into town (at the very end/exit entrance of the port). The first stop will drop you off near Blue Kay (very quiet), and close to the beginning of the melacon (beach walk-way). We stayed on/waited until the 4th stop, which is at the very end of the melacon. We spent the day at Pez Quadro, which was very nice, good food, etc., but pretty quiet. You can walk along the Melacon and see many beach clubs. We really liked the look of the Krazy Lobster (about in the middle). There were plenty of openings/spots, so no pre-booking/reservations needed. We really enjoyed our day!

There are several beachfront bars/cafes just like Tropicante. Walk up and down the malecon and check them out then decide. They are all pretty good depending on your tastes.

We like YaYa beach. Marinas massages is in front and they are quite good and cheap. $30 for an hour! Clean bathrooms and good food. The same family of massage ladies drive to Progresso when there is no ship in Costa Maya, so we see them when we sail Carnival, too.
