Has anyone been to Puerto Costa Maya?

What did you do that you would reccomend? I'm particularly interested in whether the beach that is near the pier is walking distance and whether it has beach-access snorkeling. Plus, any other suggestions you might have. We're going in January on the Radiance. Thanks.

We were re-routed there last Sept. instead of Progresso. We visited the smaller set of the ruins. Enjoyed that as well. The beach is within walking distance of the pier & I did see some people snorkeling. There is a continuous show & dance out by the pool w/ a very fun atmosphere if you prefer to stay there.

Don,
We've created a Costa Maya Website with our photos, & links to the photos of many others. It has a fair number of Costa Maya Website links and lots more. Let us know if we should be adding other links you know.

I think the reasons for the neg. posts about Cost Maya are because it is new and still being developed.There was nothing there and they made it a port stop and added a market etc.Each time we have gone something new has opened at the market area. The pool is very nice, the beach that is right there is in plain view of the ship and some people prefer a more private area.There is a beach tour that brings you to another beach in the area. Also the people in the markets are very aggressive and you need to be able to talk them down as the prices start high and they expect you to do this.
