    Well. This was an unfortunate disaster. We were met at the port asking us if we wanted to stay on the excursion or get a refund & go in a private excursion due to sargassum. We opted to stay because we don’t trust private excursions when needing to get to the port in time. Asked to sign a waiver for the ‘open bar’—but it was not for the open bar, it was a liability waiver excusing them from any injury. We signed but why lie about it? Got to beach. Sargassum wasn’t their fault so it was what it was. The open bar was a joke. Most watered down drinks we’ve ever had. Then the sellers. At least one every minute or two. It was all 4 hours! Relentless. Then we headed back. Had to take taxi instead of the nice bus. (Cost was included) My husband was in a sling & the driver made us crawl to the back over the folded seats. Then we waited. Another couple came up 5 min later. We waited. (Car not running & it was hot!). Another 2 showed up. Completely intoxicated. They got in. Drink guys were loud & obnoxious. Taxi driver ended up dropping us off 1 1/2 blocks from port gate. Literally swerved to curb & told us all to get out. We walked the rest of the way. Beach time was nice but I would not recommend this at all.

    Response from the operator: Hi Linda, Thank you for choosing Next Experience Travel in Costa Maya, and we're sorry the day wasn't quite what you expected, especially the ride back with your husband's sling. Sargassum comes and goes in the Caribbean at certain times of the year, and the good news is that the beach can still be enjoyed: the team collects it every day and the beach is cleaned, so guests can relax on the sand and swim in the sea without any problem, and all the club's services, such as drinks and food, continue as usual. The tour is shared with other guests, so the return ride is by taxi together with them, and we understand it wasn't the comfortable ride you were hoping for. The beach is public, and the vendors who pass by simply offer local products. We're glad you enjoyed the beach time, and we've passed your comments on to our team. We hope to welcome you again in the future for a different experience. Kind regards, Next Experience Travel

    Relaxing Day!

    Great experience! Transport was ready when we were ready to return. To get out it was a walk to get out of the gated place, but worth it. Fast service. GREAT food and beverages provided. The beach was very clean, our beach chairs with Large umbrella tree was ready with my name on it. The only thing I wish was different was beyond their control. The swim water was not very deep at all. You could stand up at the back fence - maybe waist deep. Some parts you had to maneuver around due to being very shallow water in order to swim/snorkel. But overall, Great service, great food, clean beach!

    Response from the operator: Hi Darla, Seeing your name on the beach chair with the big umbrella ready is the kind of detail we love hearing about! Thank you for choosing Next Experience Travel in Costa Maya while on board Radiance of the Seas. We're glad the food, the drinks and the clean beach made it relaxing. You're right about the water depth near the swim area, and we'll pass your comment along so guests know what to expect. Hope to see you on your next cruise! Warm regards, Next Experience Travel

    Okay for price

    It was really hard to find the place we needed to go, ended up asking around until a lady knew what the beach area was called and told us to get a taxi there but transportation was supposed to be included. paid $20 for transportation round trip plus tips. The beach break was amazing food and drinks 10/10 but the beach water was very dark and full of seaweed. Host was extremely nice and friendly

    Response from the operator: Hi Lianelyz, So happy to hear you enjoyed your Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break during your cruise vacation onboard Harmony of the Seas! 🌴 We’re glad the food, drinks, and friendly host made your day at Costa Maya Perfect Day Mexico a great one in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean. Thank you as well for your feedback. We’d like to kindly clarify that this tour offers two options: with transportation and without transportation. Your reservation was for the option without transportation, which requires guests to arrive directly at the beach club. Meeting instructions were sent prior to the tour to help with arrival, but we understand it can still be confusing on a busy cruise port day, and we truly appreciate you sharing this. Seaweed can vary by season and weather, but we’re happy the beach experience and service still stood out for you. Feel free to share your beach day stories and tag us on Instagram and Facebook @NextExperienceTravel so other cruise travelers can discover this amazing destination too! Hope to welcome you again on another Caribbean adventure. Warm regards, The Next Experience Travel Team

    Stay away from this excursion

    I paid $80 per person for the Beach Break excursion in Costa Maya, and it was a complete rip-off. They only let you swim in a tiny, crowded section of the beach, and the so-called “open bar” was next to a dirty pool that no one wanted to get in. The food was terrible and twice the price of what we paid at other excursions in Mexico. I’ve been to many excursions before, so I know what good local food should taste like — this wasn’t it. Save your money and stay far away from this place. You’ll get a much better experience elsewhere.

    Response from the operator: Hi JanesX68, It seems there’s been a mix-up, as the experience you described does not match our tour. We do not have a pool, nor do we advertise one, and our Beach Break takes place directly on Mahahual’s boardwalk, where guests enjoy the beach and local flavors in a relaxed seaside setting. Your review appears to be posted under the wrong business, and we kindly ask that you verify your booking details and update your review accordingly so future travelers receive accurate information. We take pride in offering authentic Costa Maya experiences and would be happy to welcome you another time for a true taste of local hospitality. Best regards, Next Experience Travel Team

    Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break with Open Bar & Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.

    How much does Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break with Open Bar & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Costa Maya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break with Open Bar & Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Costa Maya is not rushed.

    Is Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break with Open Bar & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 79 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Costa Maya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break with Open Bar & Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break with Open Bar & Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break with Open Bar & Lunch?

    +

    Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Costa Maya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Costa Maya and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Costa Maya All-Inclusive Beach Break with Open Bar & Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Costa Maya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Costa Maya?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Costa Maya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chacchoben & Bacalar Combo Excursion Costa Maya, Costa Maya Shore Excursion Chacchoben Day Trip, Chacchoben Mayan Ruins from Costa Maya. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Costa Maya?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Costa Maya?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
