Pool on the paradise was cold and very small.

Shows were pretty good but i am lowering my rating due to one singer who belonged in a screamo band and took away from the rest of the show

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5

The excursion was great. I did the taco,tequila, and mariachi and flower(our guide) was great. Stay with your group as the main part of Cozumel is teaming woth people trying to sell you weed, cocaine, and hookers if you are not in a group
