What are people saying about Costa Maya

Rachael_S, Oct 2026

Fantastic trip! Before...

Fantastic trip! Before the trip we were given great instructions to find our guide. We were quickly taken off to the Mayan ruins. We were lucky enough to be the only group on our tour and we arrived before all the other big tour groups so we were able to see the spider monkeys in the trees and get great photos. Francisco our guide was knowledgeable and informative. We then moved onto Bacalar and the 7 colours lagoon which was stunning. We were taken out on a very comfortable pontoon boat and were able to swim in the beautiful lagoon. Drinks and snacks were always available including beer and tequila if you wanted it! After the lagoon we went for some delicious tacos in a local restaurant. We loved the trip and were extremely well looked after. We would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Chacchoben Mayan Ruins from Costa Maya

Michael_M, Oct 2026

Great experience

This was a great excursion. Carlos was a wealth of information and very entertaining. The ruins were very interesting. Paul was great as well on the ride back. Daniel was very impressive. He drove that bus in places I didn't think we're possible. We also enjoyed the mangoes and pineapple on the way back. I would definitely recommend this excursion. Great job all the way around

Bacalar Lagoon 7 Colors Excursion from Costa Maya Cruise Port

Christy_B, Oct 2026

Best Day in Costa Maya

Loved this excursion. I was nervous about booking an excursion where it was over an hour away from the port, but the back to ship guarantee helped me decide to go ahead and go for it. Our guide and our driver were excellent. Joseline, our guide was with us the entire time.. from the car ride, the pontoon boat, the restaurant. The lagoon was beautiful and the whole family said it was worth the drive. The Pineapple- let’s just say one wasn’t enough, it was so good! One thing I wish I woulda known was that you cannot wear sunscreen in the lagoon, had I known that I would have covered up a little more as I was already burnt from the day before. The drive there and back went much quicker than I thought it would. I will say there is not a lot to see most of the drive, but we all took a little nap on the way back. The tacos that were also included were very good as well!

Costa Maya Shore Excursion Chacchoben Day Trip

Kyle_H, Oct 2026

Very enjoyable and informative tour

We really enjoyed our tour to Chacchoben, safe and smooth driving by Daniel and fascinating information imparted by Octavio really made this a tour worth doing. The ruins were really interesting, much less commercial than Chichen Itza, more interactive, and several monkeys were playing around the in the trees of the area, for an extra bit of fun. I'd recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Mayan history.

Authentic Beachfront Mexican Cooking Class Cafe Jaguar Costa Maya

Jon_W, Oct 2026

Perfect excursion

We had a wonderful time at this cooking class! Getting to the café was relatively easy. We shared a taxi with other visitors, so we only had to wait a couple of minutes for it to fill up. The process was simple, and it cost just $5 per person to get to the area. We made tacos al pastor with guacamole and pico de gallo, and everything was delicious! One of our favorite parts was learning about the history and traditions behind the food. The staff was incredible and welcoming. It made the experience feel personal and memorable rather than just going out for a meal. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cozumel! We had a great time and encourage anyone interested in learning more about the owner's business and other experiences to check out their website as well.

Maha Massage Oceanfront Massage Experience in Costa Maya Mahahual

Darlene_W, Oct 2026

Maha massage

Loved the massage and facial. Treated us to cold water and the massage room has a/c which was much needed. The room was clean and private with a balcony view of the ocean, wine was good! The location was challenging to find, taxis had no idea where it was but Connie answered the phone and directed us to her. Very pleased with our day, we also got to explore the market nearby. Very pleasant experience and face was so smooth afterwards, no pressure to buy skincare afterwards. I loved supporting this women owned business!!

Bacalar – 7 Colors Lagoon Excursión Costa Maya

Alisha_H, Sep 2026

We had an incredible time...

We had an incredible time with Jerry, Hasan, and Francisco. They were prompt, communicated everything clearly and promptly, and guided us from our meeting point until we were back at port. They greeted us with water, introduced themselves, drove us around an hour into Baccalar while introducing and sharing the culture of the region, stopped for pictures, showed us the lagoon where we swam, fed us, and returned us to port with plenty of time to spare.

Chacchoben Mayan Ruins & Bacalar Lagoon with Certified Guide

jeffreyinps, Sep 2026

Fantastic Local Owners Tour

We had a great tour! The driver Edgar and the guide Romeo were fantastic. Super friendly and knowledgeable. We saw the ruins and a Mayan Expert provided so much information about the area and history. We then went on to Bacalar Lagoon where we had a very nice lunch and cocktails. The lagoon was refreshing for our afternoon swim. Kayaks were available but we didn’t use them. This is my second time using this tour group. We were in a small minivan with 17 people vs a massive bus that the cruise line will use.

Costa Maya - Pitaya Beach Open Bar, Snorkeling, Massage and Lunch

Kim_C, Sep 2026

Great little place.

Pitaya beach was a great little place. The fish tacos were great and drinks were great. They set you up on your own little loungers. Your massage is at your leisure. The vendors were a little pushy and come around constantly but it was fine. If you said no, they didn’t persist.

This was great got to see...

This was great got to see a bit of the ruins and still had plenty of time at the lagoon. It was nice that it was a small group. Carlos and Huichi were great. Huichi went above and beyond bringing us what ever we needed. The lagoons waters were refreshing but definitely bring water shoes it is slippery. Lunch was good too.

Costa Maya, snorkeling on the reef with fish, looking for turtles

Jessica_M, Aug 2026

The business was a little...

The business was a little hard to find but after that we had a great time!! Everyone was super friendly and helpful with our family. Water was a little choppy that day but they let us hang out for about 30 minutes to gauge the weather and even gave my daughter a delicious taco! Ended up just being the 3 of us on the boat so we basically got a private snorkeling adventure. Perfect way for my 7 year old to try snorkeling for the first time. Great value!! We had a wonderful time!!

Great tour to give you the best of local history and fun activity

This is a great tour that gives you a chance to learn about and see parts of ancient culture, while also giving you the opportunity for swimming and kayaking in a pristine lagoon!
