crusin-4-fun Posted October 8, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I was concerned about finding a All Inclusive in Mahahual Costa Maya and thought I'd try Jamie's! Wow! What a great find. Small with very personal service. Thanks Digby! The drinks were great, food great, service great. Clean small beach, no sea grass problem at all. Water clear! Vendors plenty but a no thank you did the trick. The people working at Jamie's very nice and considerate. It's down a bit from most other beach resorts but well worth the walk in my opinion! The only thing that was concerning was the taxi ride back to the port being solo cost me twice the fee!! Going to Jamie's normal fee.??? You do have to walk out of the port n to the second taxi area. No problem at all! Looking forward to my next trip to Mahahual and going to Jamie's again!! playadejaime4@gmail.com for more information! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 8, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I've known Jaime since his old Playa days. Then his Nohoch Kay adventure. Great guy! Knows everyone. Keeps the hawkers away. While I do walk up and down the malecon and see what's happening (used to spend a bit of time with Steve at Tropicante--sadly no more-- and look in on Fernando), we always park our bags and butts at Jaime's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocod08 Posted October 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2021 OMG Yes I loved Jaime's Blue Reef it was awesome!!!!!! Digby was amazing and so attentive! It was like being in a private resort. well worth the $50 I think I got taken for my taxi rides but considering they have been with out any tourists for ages I didn't mind paying a little more. it was me and one other couple when I was there and it was an amazing day!!!! The water was perfect they have put up some kind of fencing to help with the seagrass. I'm sailing again in January and definitely going back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always plan on walking around and seeing what's what. By next year I would expect everything to be back up. But on one of your visits you should check with Native Choice and do the Blue Lagoon, if you've never been. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to work out if they have moved. If sargassum isn’t too bad I think we may give Luna de Plata another try. We only stayed a very short time last time as it was raining but I would like to try lunch there. It seemed a lot quieter but I am not sure they have baffles for the sargassum like the rest of the malecon have installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Jaime answered my email to book the day pass, he mentioned that the taxi rate had gone up but he didn't say what the current charge was. What did you pay?
