Have any of you Uvas fans also been to Playa Mia or Nachi Cocum? I'm trying to figure out the best option for us? Thoughts on any of the other two in comparison?

Kim, we went to Uvas on Dec. 13 this year, we went to Playa Mia last year Thanksgiving day. We enjoyed both very much, but both very different. For snorkeling I would go to Uvas, snorkeling tour worth every penny and a tip! If it's beach you're after then Playa Mia is great. I can't compare either to Nachi Cocum as we haven't made it there, and after going to Uva's we may never make it there. Did I mention the GREAT service at Uva's? They were the best!!:D

Just got back to Galveston. We had the BEST time at Playa Uvas!!! The sun, the water, the snorkeling, the food, the drinks, the staff, all absolutely wonderful!!! We were met by name by Carmen, we did the snorkel tour great as well, we saw tons of starfish, a baracuda, lobster, and every kind of fish I could imagine. After we ate our fajitas we were about to go back out when our waiter (sorry can't remember his name, did I mention drinks?lol) asked us to wait a moment. The next thing I knew out came a beautiful birthday cake. They sang to us (My b-day 12-12, Mother in Laws 12-20), gave us tequila slammers, shook up our heads. It was great!! The funny thing is that I don't remember ever telling any one there that it was our birthday cruise. They must have read it on another thread or something. Now that's service. We will definately be returning on our next trip.

Thanks so much Eduardo, Carmen and everyone else. You really made our birthdays special.

Well, you all did it....I read the WHOLE thread, talked it over with the in laws and we made our reservations today. We are doing the AUV-3...snorkle, food, drink. We can't wait. I think I will have to have one of those beach beds too. They look very comfy. We leave on Carnival's Ecstasy in 337 hours and 48 minutes!!! For the non addicted, that's 15 days! We will be at Playa Uvas on Dec. 13. These last 2 weeks will hopefully fly by....
