grandmato4 Posted March 8, 2008 #26 Share Posted March 8, 2008 We were at Paradise Beach last week and loved it ! Lots of lounge chairs and umbrella's if you wanted to get out of the sun for a bit or you could go sit in covered area by the bar. The only time the lounge chairs seemed to be full was between noon and 1 pm but other than that we always saw empty loungers. Our waiter Erick was always around to get us anything that we needed but certainly wasn't trying to push us to purchase more drinks or food other than anything that we actually wanted to purchase. We didn't find it to feel crowded at all and completely enjoyed our relaxing day there. Nice bathrooms and changing area. Taxi was $15 from Punta Logosta Pier and lots of taxi's waiting to take you back to town and/or pier. $10 to purchase bracelet if you wanted to use all the water toys. When we return to Cozumel we will definately go back to Paradise Beach again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKane Posted March 8, 2008 #27 Share Posted March 8, 2008 :confused: Why in the heck is choosing a beach in Coz so difficult?!?! I guess it's because there are so many to choose form. Just when I think I have decided on a beach for our Nov vacation I change my mind. I think Paradise sounds great for my 4 boys BUT it seems kind of small & crowded. ALSO my Mom will be w/ us (69) & I'm not sure if she'd be content w/ Paradise Beach. AND I would like to snorkel!!! AAACKKK!! Would a 69 yr old woman be ok w/ time at Paradise? PS: I'm trying to find a beach that's free since we'll spend a lot of our day renting a car & seeing the whole island. Therefore, Chank is probably out ... maybe ... for now ... until I change my mind again. Last year we met a couple who were in their seventies and they just loved Paradise Beach.

I have never noticed that. There's probably a whole lot more I have to discover on this site. I guess I've always been too eager to look up fun stuff like info on my ship & itineraries.

ajrs Posted March 9, 2008 #34 Share Posted March 9, 2008 we (me, DH, DD10, DD7) were at Nachi Cocum 2 weeks ago. Loved it! They limit the number of guests so it's not crowded at all. One price gets you food, drinks (both alochol and non) chairs, palapas. Bring a towel and suncreen! they have a pool and hot tub, swim up bar. there are guys that can arrange snorkeling, parasailing for an additional price. we really liked this beach. very clean. food was great. it was about a 10-15 taxi ride from the ship terminal. $15 each way. this is a very quiet, laid back relaxing beach. we all really liked it.

nasvhillecruise Posted March 10, 2008 #38 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Just got back this a.m. from cruise & went to Paradise Beach on Friday. We had over 300 spring breakers on the cruise & I don't think I saw any of them at PB. The food was SPECTACULAR, the view was awesome, & with 5 ships in port, there were PLENTY of chairs. We walked back & forth to San Francisco beach b/c my son (5) loved swimming in their pool. The atmosphere & food, though, in my opinion, was MUCH better at Paradise Beach. It was really windy the day we were there, so there were no water toys or anything. That was a disappointment to my son, but we still had a blast.

getoutthere Posted March 10, 2008 #39 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I have had some fun times at PB but just to throw a throw a new one in there.... we spent a great day at Chen Rio beach on the other side of the island the last time we were there. It is not a fancy place or anything. It has a restaurant with some tables set up under palapas but the best part was it felt like we were the only ones there for the longest time. It was just a different atmosphere, more relaxed and low key. One of the best days we have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a different atmosphere, more relaxed and low key. One of the best days we have ever had. Glad to hear good things about Chen Rio too. That's our tentative plan ... rent a car, quick visit at San Gervasio, drive down east coast (stopping at Chen Rio for a dip) & then end up at a free beach on the other side. Looks like Paradise Beach is the front-runner right now. Did you visit the restaurant at Chen Rio? I am a vegetarian & I'm worried about feeding myself the day we're in Coz. Do they serve any tortillas, nachos, ANYTHING w/out meat or fish or poultry?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbie Sorry...got Passion Island and Paradise beach confused...disregard this question/post Just curious...I thought Paradise Island is just that, an Island? :confused: How did you go back and forth to San Fran. Beach? Also, do you know if they limit the number of people that go there? I have read mixed reviews on that. How's the snorkeling there? And how far is it from where ship docks? Thanks...sorry for all the questions :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarribbeanTina271 Posted March 10, 2008 #42 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I also was looking at Isle Passion or Passion Isle, and got some info for next cruise, it looks really amazing.... AI, food and drinks... have done PB might try something different this time, since Passion Isle looks so relaxing, and the water so calm, cool.... and everything looks so clean and the hammocks awwwww so relaxing and that is one thing I am looking for this cruise.... Anyone care to meet me there.... :p :p ...just let me know and I will send some info... Tina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunlover2 Posted March 10, 2008 #43 Share Posted March 10, 2008 OK...so now my question is...Do they limit the number of people to Passion Island? How do you get there if you do not book thru your cruise line? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoutthere Posted March 10, 2008 #44 Share Posted March 10, 2008 We had some tortillas with the fresh lobster, conch and fish they caught for us that morning for lunch. I don't remember seeing the menu but I am sure they would have chips and salsa and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
