Review summary

Cozumel is in decline.  Costa Maya is trying very hard to pick up for Cozumel.  The vendors need to get over their greed and match Cozumel's prices.

The air conditioner vent was too much on its lowest setting. We had to rig a booklet to reduce and direct the airflow off of the bed. Next time I'll pack a magnetic vent cover.

Ship tip

The soda program is a good deal. Sodas are $2.25 each. Take your own double-walled cup and the bartenders will refill it for you. Alcoholic drinks are $6.95 to $9.95. I think beer is $6.00 a bottle, a little less if you buy a bucket. Take a sheet of magnetic vent cover for the heavy duty A/C.
