Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Port Q&A

How safe is it to go out on your own in a taxi from the port to Balacar for example? I’ve been to Mexico many years ago and didn’t have any problems but we were also in a more populated region.

speaking as someone who has never gone that far out of Costa Maya, I would think the way to do this would be to book the cab for the entire day so you are guaranteed a ride back and you don't have to worry about someone Shifty for the return leg of your trip

We just returned from cruise and booked a day resort I found on trip advisor https://costamayabeachresort.com/ felt sketchy and looked like we were going to a bad area but once we arrived it was amazing and very secure. Will totally go back if we port there again.
