ocean paradise Posted January 17, 2007 #26 Share Posted January 17, 2007 We were in Costa Maya 2 years ago and spent the day at a place called Tapas, does anyone know if they are still there? :rolleyes: We had a nice day right on the beach with chairs, massages, drinks and food, all very reasonably priced.

MJfromCA Posted January 17, 2007 #27 Share Posted January 17, 2007 We were in Costa Maya on New Year's, and don't eat seafood either. We had nachos and a chicken quesadilla at the Cat's Meow. They were about $5 or $6 each, but very large and filling portions, great with the $2 beer. The kitchen was spotless, the food was fresh and tasty, and Barbara was very friendly and helpful.

bickee Posted January 17, 2007 Author #28 Share Posted January 17, 2007 So second stop it is! My fear is that everyone will get off the first stop and they'll drive away with us! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie225 Posted January 18, 2007 #29 Share Posted January 18, 2007 My vote is for Cat's Meow. The place was very clean and the bathroom was spotless on the day I was there. The waiters were great,especially Jorge(George). The margaritas were very big and potent. They don't skimp on the tequila. I went by Pez and it looked nice also.

mainer208 Posted January 19, 2007 #30 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Assume you need cash at the Cat's Meow or do they take credit cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSCruiser Posted January 22, 2007 #34 Share Posted January 22, 2007 We were there last Wed. Three ships in port that day, so it was crowded. The cab dropped everyone off at the first stop (though in the future I will asked to be taken further). Cat's Meow is the first place you come to, and because of that it was crowded. So, we walked the length of town all the way to Pez Quadro, and had a great day there. We wanted a table in the shade, so they immediately moved one for us. Bucket of 6 beers for $10, also had $3 nachos, and mixed ceviche (octopus, shrimp. conch) for $10. Safe, pleasant swimming in front, a few dogs running around to add ambience -I would go back in a minute. On return, there are cabs all over, so you can get one right there, don't need to walk the town again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the nice thing about Mahajual, you can just walk til you find someplace you like, since its just one big beach... And if you don't like all the pushy vendors, just hang a left at the Cats Meow, take your shoes off and walk along the beach in the water, that will give you a better view of your options! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northender Posted January 22, 2007 #36 Share Posted January 22, 2007 For those of you who went to the Cat's Meow, what time did you leave the ship and did you go directly there. It looks like a group of us will be going and would like to get a good spot - ie-some shade, etc. Sounds like a fun place:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one large group could fill up the spots pretty quick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermonter16 Posted January 23, 2007 #38 Share Posted January 23, 2007 We are going on the Chacchoben tour with David and Ivan and probably won't get back to the village til around 1 (ha - 1pm ship time...if that means anything...) Do you think we will still be able to get into the Cat's Meow? We really would like to go and hang out after our tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we will still be able to get into the Cat's Meow? We really would like to go and hang out after our tour. Because Costa Maya is a "private port", tours are not allowed to pick you up or drop you off at the pier. They do this from Mahajual. Since your being dropped off in Mahajual, its only a short walk to the Cats Meow. Hang for awhile, the catch a taxi back to the pier when your ready... Its less than 5mins by taxi to the pier from Mahajual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetskier Posted January 29, 2007 #48 Share Posted January 29, 2007 There are several places along the beach, less than 3/4 mile where you can rent kayaks, arrange snorkeling or rent jetskis. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norske Posted January 29, 2007 #50 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Jetskier, Thanks for the info. Do you think it would be a good idea to head straight to Majahual on arrival and arrange activities when we get there?
