ciship Posted June 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Is anyone familiar with a pool that is at the pier? We are trying to figure out what to do in Costa Maya, and the reviews aren't great and I'm reading to just stay at the pier pool. However, it doesn't really give more info than that? Is there a restaurant at this pier pool? A bar? Can you just walk to this pool from the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa Maya is a completely man-made port area with pools, dolphins, aviary chocolate and tequila tasting, shops, spa, restaurants, bars. Its is pleasant enough for a few hours but food and drinks are very expensive compared to the local town of Mahahual. However you would have to offset that against cost of taxi which depends on number in your party as it is now $4pp for a 5 minute ride. This link will give you more info and some photos and is reasonably up to date https://www.iqcruising.com/ports/caribbean/costa-maya/overview-costa-maya-cruise-port.html It might be more useful if you were to say what type of day you are interested in. The waterpark is presently closed so there is really only numerous beach clubs, (which depends on sargassum season), port, ruins or Bacalar Lagoon.

Yes you can just walk but the pier is long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OP wants to do stuff at the port. Personally with the overcharging of taxis for families I am inclined to agree which wouldn’t have been my choice pre-shut down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I think maybe I misunderstood - did you mean you couldn’t miss the pool and restaurants at the pier? On 7/24/2022 at 7:38 PM, canadarocks said: Are there pedi-cabs at the pier? Sometimes there is a trolley along the length of the pier but whether it is running seems intermittent and doesn’t run if there are big ships in port - too many people. I have never seen pedi-cabs only wheelchair assistance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. You literally can't get off any ship and not see the pool to do anything there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted July 31, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Last time we were there, they said you had to spend money from restaurant to use chairs around the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
