I hate to be the one to break this to you, but Costa Maya is pretty much a made up port. You dock and walk into a good sized shopping area and the various excursions depart frmo there. There are a few bars and places to eat. But as of last March no Carols and Charlies or resturants like you find in the other ports. Once you leave the shopping zone, there is not much else there. I heard there are cabs available to nearby towns, but you're on your own there.
