Cozumel, Mexico Port Reviews

We went to Mr. Sancho’s. It was as great as everyone says. Drinks were fantastic and the food was good. Edwardo took great care of us. Kids did the water park, kayaking, horseback riding, and jet skis. Water was a little cold but tolerable. Best part was being asked by a guy to take a picture of him and his girlfriend. After 2 pics he reaches into his pocket and gets down on one knee. Somehow I immediately put his phone into video mode and captured the whole thing. Wow is all I could say. He told me he wanted to give me some warning but couldn’t. I told him no problem and wished him and his fiancé the best of luck and felt privileged to have randomly been part of it. Really made my day. Pier was crowded as there were 7 ships in port that day but we made the best of it. Make sure to get a margarita and don’t mind the vendors... they can be a little aggressive but are friendly for the most part.

We did the Mr. Sanchos Beach All Inclusive Day Pass Cozumel excursion. We spent most of our time hanging out in the pool with the swim-up bar. The bartenders kept the drinks coming and called us by name. They were very friendly and joked around with us. Definitely recommend it as a relaxing excursion.

It was really pretty when we got off the ship. I was not haggled by anybody. We can immediately got into a taxi and were taken to Mr Sancho's. The water was amazing, the food was great and the drinks didn't make us sick or black out like so many people claim happen other places LOL. I will be going again in September of this year. I thought it was really nice and we really had a fun time.

We had a good time at Cozumel. The best part of our trip was going to Mr. Sanchos. The port had a lot of shopping but most seemed too commercialized to me. Some of the sellers/shop owners were incredibly pushy. I’ve traveled to Mexico before and have experienced this so it wasn’t much of a surprise. The port area was very clean and although a lot of the folks were pushy there also some who were very sweet. There were a few popular restaurants in the port area including Margaritavile and Fat Tuesdays. We had to take a taxi van to Mr. Sanchos, about a 10-15 minute ride, that was about $25 each way for 4 adults and a child.  Our taxi drivers were wonderful so we tipped them very well. They explained that when there are no cruise ships in port, they do not have any business. It really puts things into perspective for you. One of the drivers explained that there are only 4 or so gas stations on the island, which explained all of the locals on motor bikes. The people that do drive, drive like crazy so hang on! Cozumel is a beautiful place and we are able to really enjoy at Mr. Sanchos. I highly recommend it to everyone. The all-inclusive package is unbeatable. We found ourselves a table and Martin introduced himself as our waiter. We had amazing drinks and great food. The food is made fresh so it’s good to order off the menu in advance as it takes a while to come to you. However, there is also a buffet that you can get food from throughout the day.  The beach was beautiful blue. The sand is a bit rough, with little rocks/pebbles so I recommend water shoes. We will remember this for next time.  Snorkeling was amazing. We saw beautiful fish and star fish, one person who was snorkeling in the furthest deeper end even saw a stingray. At Mr. Sanchos you can also pay more for other activities including parasailing, horseback riding, massages (inexpensive!), and other things. There are a variety of shops there and this is where we experienced the pushiest people, they would follow you around wanting you to buy something. Each person said their stuff was the best and would attempt to get you to come into their shop.  This is how they make their living. Some folks seem intimidated by this but a simple smile and no thank you works to get them to step aside.  The items they were selling were more unique to the culture than the items in the port so I did buy some souvenirs from here.  Overall, Mr. Sanchos was the highlight of our trip and we’ve already made reservations for our May 2019 cruise.  Cozumel was a fun and beautiful place.

Cozumel is always a favorite port! We like the shops being right off the pier. We went back to Mr. Sanchos which is not a Carnival excursion. It is a private beach with the most gorgeous water I have ever seen. Your admission includes all you can eat and drink. The swimming pools have swings and bars to order drinks. The restrooms are really clean. The hammocks get you out of the sun and was a great place for me to take a nap. The taxi ride is $17 each way. My kids enjoyed this excursion. This is definitely my happy place!

We won an all inclusive Dolphin encounter and unlimited food and drinks playing bingo. Absolutely loved it! We got to interact with the dolphins and take a quick ride on one. The drinks were really good too! Pictures were a bit pricy but not too unreasonable. Overall will do it again!

Best port in the Carribbean. The place is clean and people are friendly. We went to Mr Sanchos and it did not disappoint. We had a wonderful waiter Audon and everything lived up to expectations.
