Island Annie Posted August 28, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I thought I read a thread a while ago that said there was a rather large pool located right in the middle of the shopping area in Costa Maya that had fountains, and a swim up bar. Is this true? Has anyone been to this pool? If you have, please give me your opinion. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should spend the day at this pool, or venture out & go to the little fishing village (Majahaul), and spend the day on the beach. Any suggestions???

hstrybuf Posted August 28, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yes! The pool exists. Here is a pic I took on our last trip there. The swim up bar is in the left background. http://community.webshots.com/photo/93847874/93851267hSgJiV You can spend the whole day there or split your time between Mahahual and Costa Maya. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackpth Posted August 28, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yes....I can tell you there is a large swimming pool with a swim up bar there..BUT...we found costa maya to be a large tourist trap.....it is obvious that they built this place just for cruise ship passengers, and its just a large strip mall with various vendors on the outside, and the pool in the center. I wish we had made arrangements to go elsewhere.....we only spent a couple of hours there.....and went back to enjoy the ship! ackpth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Annie Posted August 28, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Wow!! Thanks for the picture HistoryBuff. It looks GREAT!! Any other opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream2much Posted August 28, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2004 One end of the pool is great for families with small children. It's very shallow and the kids can play in the wading area while the adults watch from their loungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdoxies Posted August 28, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2004 We were there and had a great time! We were with 2 friends and first we had some of the guacamole at the rest. by the pool- it was delicious and cheap! While we were in the pool, we ran a tab- we were drinking beer and some shots- our tab was a shock! The pool is very nice and easy to get sunburned, so be careful there also. Next time we are there, we are going to pay for each round as we go- I dont think we got ripped off, just didnt realize we had so much to drink. Also in the rest. there was a live band- all in all a vry fun afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
