Very pretty, but to me it seemed like a little shopping strip on a beach set-up just for the cruise ships. They did have some unique items none of the other ports had, but the shops are a bit pushy and definitely be ready to barter. A straw hat I was interested in I was told $25 at first and got it done to $10 which is what it was worth. They have a couple of bar/restaurants, a pool area, and a nice beach you can spend the afternoon at. Some people snorkeled right there on the beach. Several people we spoke to did snorkeling excursions in Costa Maya and liked it. We were docked right next to the Princess’ Grand Princess, which left about 30 minutes before us, to which we all waved good-bye to the folks waving to us. About 5-10 minutes later, we see this speed boat dash from the dock out to the Grand Princess. The gangway door opened as the ship slowed down a bit, and it was quite a spectacle watching them get this woman into the ship. Evidently it was quite an expensive speed boat ride and we were also told she would be heavily fined by the cruise line. Yikes!
