Thread: Paradise Beach Cozumel

WHAT KIND OF "STUFF" IS THERE TO DO AT PARADISE BEACH FOR FOUR? NO PROBLEMS WITH HEALTH. AND HOW ABOUT EATS? IS THERE A GOOD SPOT TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT THERE ALSO? WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET THERE? TANKS..CIAO

Hey Jonnie

Have you looked at our Cozumel forum? Here is the link--> Cozumel

There is snorkeling, a water trampoline, a water slide, a kayak, other things too, can't remember. There is a place to eat, the food was good. We took a taxi, I want to say it costs $15.00 each way. (Not sure.) There are plenty of taxis available when you are ready to leave. And the best part is that it only costs $10.00 per person. (Including char and umbrella rental.) You can go on google and get all of the particulars. I do highly recommend it though. I'm going again in February! Have fun.

We were just there in May. There is plenty to keep you busy there as mentioned before. Only two negatives for me was that the water water brown due to the winds and there were large rocks under the water that were not visible. We were with a group of cruisers who personally knew the manager so we didn't have to pay for anything other than food/drinks. The water stuff was $10pp. The taxi was $28 for a group of like 8.

Our group took Tom (the manager) a bunch of milk from the cruise ship for his child since he can't get it in Mexico. He really appreciates the cruisers.

Paradise Beach has a good reputation with a loyal following.

We go there several times a year.

Here is the scoop.... it is a free beach which means they do not charge an entrance fee (some others do). The Lounge Chairs, Tables, Umbrellas, CLEAN Restrooms, Changing Rooms and Internet at the bar are all free. All they ask is that you eat/drink while you are there. The drinks and food are great.

They do offer an OPTIONAL wristband for $10.00 that covers the use of all their water and land toys for all day. This includes 2 water trampolines, an iceberg, kayaks, snorkeling and floats (individual and multi person). They also have a land bungie trampoline. You can even climb a coconut tree!! The OPTIONAL part is great because our 2 boys always get the wristbands and hubby and I do not. (we are shade people)

They also have lockers for $4 a day...but we have never needed them.

Tom and his crew run a tight ship.

Now about the water....ALL the West side of the island has the same water.
It faces the Mexican coastline. This is great because it is a safe place to swim (no rip currents like the EAST side) but it does get murky if a Norte blows in.

There is no commercial beach resorts on the EAST side because it is dangerous to swim there. All the commercial beach resorts are on the West side and they all have the same water.

Do not worry about "crowds".... there are two other beaches (if it does get crowded) to handle the over flow. And even if you are at SFB or CNC (adjacent to Paradise Beach) you can still purchase and enjoy their wristbands!!

A taxi to all the Beach Resorts is $12 -15 one way for up to 4 people. (depending on whether you are docking at Punta Langosta or Puerto Maya)

There are more taxis than sand...so do not worry about getting a taxi back to the ship.

Have a great day in Paradise!!!

Thanks for the great info, LHP!!

We always go to Paradise Beach but this past time we went to Mr Sancho and had a great time. I think I like it better there. The beach was nicer and the food was better.

Did they have the same type of activites like a Paradise beach? (water toys, etc..) And how much does it cost?

They do not have the ocean blow up things to play on. They did have a pool but I just looked at their site and it is showing a jacuzzi not a pool.

We enjoyed the area much better. It is very similiar to Paradise Beach but we enjoyed Mr Sanchos better. They do offer various water activites, horseback riding and massages for a price.

It does not cost anything as long as you purchase something there. We drank and had a little bit of food. I ordered the Guacamole and it was wonderful. They did not make it in front of us but you could tell it was just made.

Thank you for that info.
