Very attentive staff took care of us, but pickup instructions were TERRIBLE. Must leave gated area..
The tour company was excellent. They met all of our needs. The food and drinks were good. The reason I am giving only 3 stars is because of the beach peddlers constantly coming up to you trying to sell you things. Also, if white sand, clear water and beautiful views are your thing, do NOT book this excursion. There is not much of a beach, no view and the water was not clear or pretty. I realize this is not the tour company's fault but we were still disappointed.
Nice relaxing day at the beach. Food and drinks were delicious! This was my 4th time there. You do get vendors, but they are respectful when you politely decline and move on.
Great day at the beach. Transportation was easy to find and punctual. Location, food and drinks were fantastic!
The beach was small but great. The staff were amazing and super helpful with anything that we asked for. We would 100% go back again.
This was an exceptional experience Private taxi to a pristine beach with very comfortable lounge chairs and thatched umbrella provided great shade- or plenty of room to be in the sun. Was not crowded. Awesome service delicious food and drinks. We even paid for a massage on the beach and the therapists were very professional and talented. The beach had soft raked sand that was easy to walk on and water had very soft sand. Convenient bathrooms and super cool sink to wash hands - made from shells. This was our best beach day on the whole cruise.
Not very accommodating for handicap people. Vacationing with my brother who is wheelchair bound, the almost dropped him lifting him in to the van. No response on the email that I sent. They ruined out port day and did not respond.
The beach and accommodations were excellent. Had a great time. You wont go wrong by choosing this location
Taxi there good, time there great! Beach was cleared of seaweed. Food enjoyable. Frustrating part was the taxi back. Be sure to ask if you included taxi that you do not have to pay taxi driver again when dropped off at the port. Most frustrating thing is to argue with someone who may not share same morals/values of honesty. Not sure where the confusion lies but ask when the beach guy when he is there getting you into the taxi to return to port whether it’s included. That way him, the driver and you are in agreement. Had to pay another $5 per person at port. Ugh!
I loved the beach, the excellent service we were attended by Mr. Mario who was responsible for enjoying our day in the best way, the ceviche was very fresh (we ate like 4 times)
We enjoyed the whole day!! The beach and water were amazing. Lunch was very good and my friend and I really enjoyed our day. I would go again.
Nohoch Kay Beach Club was where we were taken from the Viator meeting point outside of the expansive port area. It’s a long walk from the pier folks. We found our Viator representative who placed us in a taxi after a little chaos, but off we went on a careening, harrowing ride where the driver wanted to be airborne at every speed bump. But we arrived in one piece, only to have our “included” transport become a demanded $5 per person!!!! Not happy!!!
We were at the Beach Club at at first glance it looked disappointing. We were the only guests there at the time and we had a bad feeling. It seems desolate and untended with piles of seaweed at the waters edge. Did we make a mistake?
Mario then came out to greet us and couldn’t have been nicer. He showed us to our seats under our own personalized palapa, pointed out the facilities which were clean and well maintained and got us our money back from the transportation while a team of folks cleaned up the seaweed and suddenly, we felt very at home!!! Yorbean replaced Mario and saw to our every need….what we thought was a mistake became one of the highlights of our cruise!!! The food and drinks were great and were truly “all inclusive” as was the much less dramatic ride back to the port!!
All in all a great day….4 stars out of 5 !!
Transportation is good, but you will have to walk put of the port to meet your ride, but not that much further than other transportation. The beach club/restaurant provided excellent service. First row chairs with cover. Drinks and food were plenty. Massage option on the beach good value. There are alot of wandering locals selling trinkets which can be slightly bothersome because of the number of them. Beach is shallow and not great for swimming, but still provides a nice view.
Had a great time. Wish we got off the ship early, if cruising I would highly recommend getting off as early as possible.
The beach was clean and the staff was fun. I enjoyed many Mexican holy water shots lol I would go back in the future.
There were a lot of vendors that came by and a no thank you sent them away. Massages are available but are priced the same as US. My partner and I enjoyed the beach chairs and the water was nice. The water is very shallow but nice to just chill in. You need to bring your own towels.
Be prepared for confusion trying to find transportation to the beach experience.
Waters were very attentive and a pleasure to be around.
We were skeptical traveling bumpy roads to a sketchy looking beach club, but the friendly staff made us feel welcome and the shaded beach hut was comfortable and very convenient - just steps from the entrance. Service and drinks were exceptional and the food more than sufficient. The swimming area would be disappointing if that were our focus. But it was a relaxing day overall and only a 12 minute drive from the cruise port. If you have walking difficulties it takes a good 20 minutes to walk through the port village to get to the taxi area, then another 5 minutes to a parking area outside the gates. So a walker might be appropriate.
Never was able to find guides. They would t cancel our trip despite the ship being docked late around 2:00 for a beach trip. Not pleased.
The pick up point was well marked
And easy to find. We were met and placed in a taxi to a clean and lovely beach. The drinks and food were excellent and plentiful. The Palapa and chairs were comfortable. A wonderful day!!
There were 13 of us coming off a cruise ship. Aside from trying to find tge meeting place, the entire excursion was absolutely wonderful!! The service was awesome. Food and drinks were fantastic. Massages on the beach, vendors to do some shopping, kayaks, and a reef close by!! Everyone had a great time! We asked to be returned to the port in 30 minutes and exactly 30 minutes later our van arrived! Would HIGHLY recommend! Also, the menu of food was so big. We ordered sample platters and got a lot of food!!! A beautiful display of "a lil bit of everything"! And it was all delicious!

This is the perfect relaxing beach day. We enjoyed all inclusive drinks/food and reserved seating with shade and tables. We opted for round trip transportation to be included. The staff was very accommodating and arranged for our return trip when we were ready.

We opted for our own transportation, which was much cheaper than the all-inclusive package with driver that is offered. The taxi ride was $10 to and from the port. The experience overall was good just not what I was expecting for the price. This is definitely a beach break and not a resort type experience. It is a small restaurant and bar, which gave you access across the street to the beach. You do have your own private chairs and umbrella that are reserved and waiting for you which was nice. We couldn’t really enjoy the water because it was not very clear and not very deep. We went out as far as we could, and never made it past chest deep, so we weren’t able to really snorkel or swim because of the water. The food, drinks and Service was on point. They had a very strong drink drinks. There are vendors coming up to you, trying to sell you things but a simple no sends them on their way. They do offer massages on site for an extra fee which I did take advantage of since we couldn’t really enjoy the water. There are several small shops and street vendors located on the street that separates the bar and restaurant from the beach. Our server walked us down and showed us the ones that were reputable to buy from. Our server also called for us a taxi when we were ready to go, which took less than five minutes to get. Overall, this experience was good just not what I expected especially for the price.

Hi John,
Thanks so much for choosing us during your Carnival Jubilee cruise to spend your day at our Costa Maya All Included Beach Break in beautiful Costa Maya, Mexico. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed review.
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the food, strong drinks, friendly service, and having your reserved beach chairs and umbrella ready for you — one of the key benefits of booking a cruise-friendly, all-inclusive beach experience instead of visiting the area on your own.
Costa Maya’s coastline is naturally shallow and calm because it sits in front of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef system in the world. This reef protects the shore from strong waves, which is why the water is usually peaceful and easy to walk into, although it also means depth and visibility can vary from day to day.
We’re also glad our team helped you feel comfortable with the local vendors, massage services, and nearby shops, and made sure your return to the cruise port was smooth and quick — something we know is very important for cruise guests.
Thank you again for choosing us to enjoy your time in the Mexican Caribbean. We hope to welcome you back very soon, either here in Costa Maya or at one of our other amazing destinations. 🌴

Over price excursion for very old and uncomfortable chairs to seat. Food was average and water down drinks. Not worth 100 per person

When we arrived we were all surprised and disappointed. It was a small area and the photos on Viator were misleading.This included unlimited drinks and food. The part of beach where we were placed was small. There were 7 of us and our lounge chairs were practically on top of each other.. we were under palapas.There were damaged palapas down next to us and there was hammering and saw cutting near us. It was $45 to go out snorkeling. When we were picked up for our return trip we were crammed into a small taxi and person did not speak English.
Would we go back here again…… no.

We had a wonderful time! Gabriel and Ruth were wonderful hosts, easy to find, informative during the drive. The beach club was laid back. Miguel and with the help of Mario were very accommodating! Always smiling and just fun! They deserve 5 stars!! The Ceviche is a must!! Pina Coladas were the best!! Beach massage excellent and worth every peso!! My only deterrent but it was for every beach club was walking vendors. They were cordial, but constant, causing me to say No, Gracias, 1000x. But this would impact every beach club.

Hi Michelle!
So happy to hear you had such a perfect beach day in Costa Maya with us during your cruise vacation onboard the Allure of the Seas! It’s great to know Gabriel and Ruth made everything easy and enjoyable from the start, and that Miguel and Mario helped create such a fun, welcoming vibe at the all-inclusive beach club.
Your highlights made us smile — the ceviche, piña coladas, and that relaxing beach massage truly are must-dos when enjoying Costa Maya: Perfect Day Mexico in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean. Thanks as well for your kind understanding about the beach vendors, which is something common across public beach areas.

The beach is dirty and so was the water. Just so so beach. So many vendors walking around selling absolutely everything. Had some dancers on the beach that literally came table to table asking for a tip. The walk to the taxis was a very long walk and the driver tried to con us out of money. They also tried to tell me that we cancelled. So there was about 30 minutes to get them to honor the excursion. We paid for all inclusive which included taxi going to and from the port. The taxis driver tried to get us to pay again. Not very good food.
The food and drinks were just okay.

Hi Dawn_M,
We appreciate you choosing us during your cruise vacation in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean and for taking the time to share your feedback.
For clarification, your original reservation with transportation was canceled by you and later rebooked on Viator without transportation. As a result, transportation was not included on the day of the tour, and any taxi service required had to be paid directly. As stated in the tour details and tour confirmation, the meeting point is located immediately outside the cruise port terminal, approximately a 15-minute walk from the ship’s gangway, as the Costa Maya pier and terminal are extended.
Regarding the beach conditions, what you experienced was sargassum, a natural seasonal phenomenon that can affect parts of the Caribbean at certain times of the year. It is not harmful to humans, and our local partners make daily efforts to clean the beach areas, although conditions may vary depending on tides and weather.
Local vendors and cultural performers operate independently in public beach areas, and tipping is always optional.
We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to clarify these points. We hope to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a better experience.
Kind regards,
The Cruise Port Adventures Team
This was a great excursion, everything was included from beach chairs to drinks to food and plenty of shaded areas. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. My only critique was the water itself was pretty shallow, not exactly the beach I envisioned, more like a calm bay, but overall we had a great time and would recommend.
