What are people saying about Costa Maya

Chacchoben Mayan Ruins from Costa Maya

Donna_K, Aug 2026

Fabulous Tour

Visiting the Ruins was a real treat. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. The RC shopping/pool area was hopping due to 3 ships being in port at the same time. We left and went to town. Had a great lunch on the beach and did some fun sbopping. Fun day.

Jessi_R, Aug 2026

Awesome

Soo much fun! We just did this excursion during our cruise trip. My kids still speak about the event and the lagoon was so beautiful. We learn so much during our private tour with our guide. It is about 1 hr and 10 min long. Our driver pick us up at the port and stops midway to pick up a pineapple and for the kids to stretch and get some snack for the road. Love the whole experience.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about Mayan culture and history. Drive out is about 80 minutes and they bring plenty of water for hot days. After the tour our guide gave us a recommendation for good local food in Mahahual and it didn’t disappoint.

Our Favorite Excursion

This cooking class was so much fun! My boyfriend and I were sailing on MSC and decided to book our excursion outside of the cruise line to save some money. We saw this cooking class and decided it would be fun to give it a go. We got a taxi and went about 10 minutes away from the port to a strip of shops and restaurants. Even though we left the port we still felt extremely safe. When we entered, the staff at Cafe Jaguar were happy and greeting us with smiles. They offered us waters and gave us an apron we could keep! They gave us a little history about the town of Mahahual and the dishes we prepared. All of the ingredients were fresh, clean, and delicious. At the end they gave us some spices to keep and the recipe to make it at home! This cooking class was so much fun and truly felt like we got to learn a little bit about the history of the town while doing.

It was a nice tour and we...

It was a nice tour and we had a great tour guide Ismael. He was very good at answering our questions and took time to teach us thoroughly. The culture and history we learned was very insightful. The temple was very interesting to learn about. We even saw wildlife such as a monkey and a raccoon. The tour guides provided us water and some local pineapple, it was super yummy. I would recommend this tour.

Derek_J, Aug 2026

The experience was...

The experience was fantastic. The only negative would be the drive there as it accounts for about 40% of the total time. However, the driver made exceptional time both there and back. The guide Jerry (Gerry?) Did a fantastic job ensuring everyone was taken care of. The trip was full but did not feel oversold which kept everything comfortable. We will absolutely use them the next time we are in Costa Maya. The fresh water lagoon is infinitely better than the salty sea.

100/00! Love this place!

Such a beautiful place! 🤍 We love that the water is shallow enough for the kids to walk across, while there are still a few deeper spots where we can swim and enjoy the water too. The food and drinks are amazing, but the STAFF is truly the best! 🥰 Safe to say, we absolutely love this place—we’ve already been here 3 times in the past couple of months, and we’ll definitely be back!

Getting Mayan in Mahahual, Puerta Costa Maya

We went to Costa Maya to see the undersold Mayan Chacchoben ruins, which are surreal and not to be missed, and Elliot, the Mayan with the Scottish name!, did not disappoint! The Bacalar lake experience offered several varieties of delicious tacos and the beautiful, but rocky, lake itself was a refreshing swim after the epic morning!

A+ excursion!

What a wonderful excursion! Our tour guide, Leo, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and shared the history and interesting facts about our different stops. The Bacalar Lake was the highlight of our entire trip. The water was so blue and perfect for swimming. I highly recommend this excursion. Also, a big thank you to our driver Erick, who stopped to get us a fresh pineapple to eat on the boat ride, and who drove us everywhere. Thank you for everything.

Excellent Tour and Tour Guides

This was a family trip for 13, ranging from age 10 to 80. Our tour guide Juan Carlos and our driver Harmayer were excellent. They took extra time with us since one of our group needed additional assistance. Juan's knowledge was outstanding. Both Juan and Harmayer were more than guides for us, they became the 14th and 15th member of our group. The ruins were beautiful. Highly recommend!!

Hospitality at its finest! Must do adventure!

From the moment we walked in we knew we picked the best spot! No other places had service or chairs or the service that we experienced! We had other couples and family coming from other spots that they were disappointed in to find the one we pick to be perfect! Bathroom was well lit and VERY CLEAN! Family owned business that truly felt like we were at home with our own family! DO NOT BOIK ANYONE ELSE! This is a must experience!
