Progreso (Merida), Mexico Port Reviews

Was a good port, just not as good as Cozumel.

We shopped at the port and then rode the bus to town but didn’t stay long. It was nicer at the port.

This was our 2nd chance port. We didn't like it the first time and didn't want to ever go back. This time we did a carnival excursion to the ruins. Bus ride was about 45 minutes away. It was an amazing day. This is not the port to just go explore on your own. The town of progresso is not vacation worthy to me.

Progreso was a little bit more frustrating since it required a bus ride to even get to the main area where the beach is and the line is very long, but there's no real way around that. They do have a nice shopping area right around the docks with many vendors to offer some decent wares at good prices.

The port is very depressing. The pier is 7 miles long with a shuttle bus that drops you off in town. There’s very little shopping around the drop off area and feels very sketchy the further out you explore. We paid for an excursion through Autoprogeso and went to Xcambo ruins and Technohotel all inclusive hotel for the day. That excursion cost us $90 total for both of us. It was totally worth it and will save you about $100-$120 compared to getting it through the cruise ship. The excursion can be purchase where the shuttle bus drops you off in town

The Beach Resort was Heaven, Fluffy our Tour Guide was super Nice and Funny also super informative about the History of Yucatan. The Resort was super Clean the Beach was beautiful, the Pool amazing just perfect. The Food was Great the Service was beyond amazing. Local artists offered some super unique Souvenirs. The Coconut Service was awesome, once you drank it the staff came right away to have the coconut cut and slice for you topped with fruit and Tahjin. Just amazing!!! I would do this excursion again anytime!!! lso the Games was super fun

We went on a Carnival excursion to a hacienda with a lazy river and a cenote. It was really beautiful! The food was yummy! Then we went to the Mayapan ruins. These were amazing! We had a wonderful day!

Giving 5 stars as our excursion was great! Corona Beach Experience. The port itself was just a industrial area, and no real shopping or anything.

Enjoyed our excursion here very much and not crowded.

Took a food tasting excursion to Merida Youcatan
