We did a beach resort at Vista Mar. It was AMAZING. This place is a little hidden gem. The staff was very attentive and wonderful people. Got an amazing massage on the beach and the food was truly authentic. People that say stay on the ship here is wrong!! Loved it.

Progreso isn't my favorite port and our excursion got cancelled but we decided to go into town anyways and I'm glad we did. We took a bus tour of the city and I must say I'm so glad we did. They have really cleaned up the city around downtown since the first time I ever visited. We learned about their city and got to see some really cool places. It was 45 min to an hour and cost $9. It was very well worth it!

Attended an excursion booked through Shore Fox on the Ship Mate app. Wonderful excursion where we visited the salt flats, flamingos in the mangroves, XCambo ruins, and Silcer Beach Club

Best time in Progresso. We had no excursion booked but went into town and grabbed a spot on the public beach, paid $15 a person for table, chairs, and unlimited chips, guac, salsa, and drinks. Service on the beach was great, got our money's worth. Public vendors are all around but a polite no thank you and they went on their way.

I loved Progreso, my husband however, did not. The town is very true to cultural Mexico, which we loved that part. They had buses waiting at the pier for us and took us into town a few blocks from the beach. There were little shops with vendors along the way, but they weren’t push at all. We chose not to do an excursion here due to my having a bad back and might be too much walking or climbing. Our friends went to the Myan ruins however, and loved it! They said they learned a lot about the Myan history. Anyways, my husband and I chose to go to the beach and enjoy a relaxing day. We walked along the beach for a bit and found a hut type umbrella with two lounge chairs for $10. We planned to just laze there for the day. The owner of the restaurant behind us came to offer us drinks and was very kind. The bad this is, we didn’t get to relax much. There a lot of people on the beach walking up to you constantly to sell you something like a necklace, a weaved basket, or some other hand crafted item. I didn’t mind so much because I was just taking in the scenery, but my husband wanted to relax with eyes closed. Every time he would close his eyes, there was someone else interrupting him. He found it very annoying. There was a also guy selling large sea shells that I guess when you blow in them, they sound like the ships blow horn. Unfortunately, the guy had to sample it every few minutes and it was very loud. Well, as you can imagine, it’s not very relaxing. Haha. Then all the sudden a group of young men gathered right in front of our chairs. We couldn’t tell what they were doing at first, then they hit the boom box! They would proceed to put on a dance show that looked like a 90’s breakdancing competition right in front of us. It was entertaining, but way too close and loud. They then sent around another member of the group with a container asking for donations. Needless to say my husband wasn’t very happy, lol. He was ready to go back to the ship. So, our relaxing beach day lasted more like two hours. Someone did get arrested on the beach tho, that’s was interesting to watch. Haha. The beach was beautiful, we just wish it was a little more peaceful. We understand they are just trying to make money, but it might have been a little much. I would definitely go back, but my husband says he has no desire to go back. Something I observed though, and might be some advice for other first timers, is to sit right on the beach, like where the waves would graze you, because for some reason the vendors didn’t go to theses people often. They mainly visited the tables and lounge chair areas. Unfortunately, there are no chairs that close to the beach, but you could probably bring a towel to lay on.

Suggest that you definitely book an excursion if you want to explore Progresso as this is a very poor town & things looked a little rough. Having a massage right on the beach was my favorite thing! We booked the excursion for the Corona Beach which was very affordable & good!
