Puerta Maya Pier

[ginag]

Hi! Could anyone tell me about the Puerta Maya Pier as far as shopping and restaurants? Looks like that is where the Ecstasy will be docking. Thanks!

There is duty-free shopping right on the pier -- shop going back to the ship, but check prices on debarkation on items you think you might buy onshore for comparison. There is an outdoor shopping plaza right off the pier which includes Los Cinco Soles and attached Pancho's Backyard. No real bargains here, but convenient. Walk through the shopping plaza to a taxi stand for transportation downtown or to beaches, et al.

Thanks TNtraveler!

 

 

I'm on the Ecstasy as well and was wondering about the port.

 

Two weeks and counting!!!

Thank you TNtraveler for the information!

 

Andrea....it won't be long now!

There is plenty of shopping near the Puerto Maya pier. You can also grab a cab and travel south into town toward the Punta Langosta pier, if you like. That area is loaded with duty free shops and malls.

 

Cozumel is a "shop 'til you drop" stop. :p

So, Pancho's Backyard is right by the pier? Is that correct? Have you eaten there?

There are 2 sets of Los Cinco Soles along with 2 sets of Pancho's BY. The original set is downtown on Melgar, the main road that runs by the water. The other set is at Puerta Maya pier. Both LSC and Pancho's are smaller at Puerta Maya.

 

In my opinion, the food stinks at Pancho's. It is okay but not great and the price........ Yikes.

Solita,

Thanks for the reply. Would there be another restaurant near the pier where we could enjoy some local fare?

How close is the International Pier to the Puerta Maya Pier? What is at the International Pier?

 

Thanks...

They are next door to eachother, an easy walk. Solita can fill you in on what's available at the International pier. I know there's shopping, but not sure which bars and restaurants are there.

We docked at the Puerta Maya pier just about 10 days ago.......we found all the shopping we needed right there...prices may have been a little better at Los Cinco Soles than at the smaller shops but not a lot of difference in prices....also we ate at Pancho's Backyard and found the food very good....You will enjoy the outdoor patio and also the mirimba band playing.We got off the ship about 2 pm and found plenty to do right there at the pier until 6pm......enjoy your day.....There is also a very small beach there, if you want to sit and relax.........I would love to go back!!!Nightingail.

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to post.....I really appreciate the information!

There isn't much in the way of places to eat there. Just a bar/restaraunt 1/2 Frogs. More of a beer/drinks place. My suggestion is take a taxi into town to eat. There are some excellent places.

My young son really wants a fake rolex watch. Are there any stores at either the Puerto Maya or International pier which sell them? Any idea as to prices?

Where is senor frogs and carlos and charlies? Is this on the international pier? We are taking Carnival glory, which I think docks at the puerta maya. Can we walk to these bars?

[solita]

Senor Frog's and Carlos n Charlies are both located at Punta Langosta pier. It is about 2 1/2 miles from the International pier. There is a Senor Frog's 1/2 at the International Pier that pales in comparision to the original one.
