Very comfortable and lots of storage. Surprised to find such a big balcony!

Have been here multiple times and our least favorite stop. Suggest renting a car and driving to east side of the island.....much prettier beaches and less touristy

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5

Seems more run down then last time we were here. Locals pandering on the beaches are very annoying. If we ever come back here, it won't be a beach day

It was very different. They nickel and dined you to death. The bartenders were horrible and if you didn’t watch them, they would give you the wrong kind of liquor. The food was good on there though.

My first Cruise and I loved it!
