Tapas

[DarSee]

So how long of a walk is it from the pier to Tapa's? Did you make a reservation to have a table, lounge & unbrella waiting for you or just go and what's the best time to go to get a table ????

[serene56]

Its two miles from the pier to Majuahaul. and no reservations are needed to reserve a table. If Tappas is full-- try somewhere else the beach is on long stretch.

so maybe it's better to take a taxi. How much does a taxi run to go to Tapa's?

[serene56]

5.00 total- 3.00 to get there and 2 bucks to get back. this price is per person; the price is the same for children.

Def. take the taxi there - the roads that you would have to walk down to get to the village I would not feel safe on AT ALL. As soon as you get off the ship go through the port and out the backside where there is a stand set up selling taxi tickets. They will take your money and give you a slip. Then you wait in the line against the wall and it takes people to town by the order of the line. Had I known this at first I would recommend one person waiting in the line to get the tickets and one go to the line for the taxis. It will cut your wait time in half - wish I had known that. Have a great time in Mahijual (probably spelled wrong - LOL)

I, too did not know there woul dbe a long line to get taxi tickets. A very good diea is to send your party to wait in the line while one person buys the tickets. I bet we would have saved almost 45 mintues doing it that way.

 

Did you take a bus in or taxi? Going to Majuahaul we had buses but taxis bring us back- the taxi would drop us off and head back to Majuahaul empty. (I wonder if that is why the 1.00 cheaper coming back)

How long did you have to wait to get the ride to Mahajual? How many ships were in port that day?

[AlwaysReady2Go]

The wait in line was probably 10 min to get ticket - 5 to get bus. We took a bus down and a cab back. No line to come back. You are dropped in the center of town and can walk 5 min in either direction - thats about it. When you want to return you walk back to the center and the cabs are all there waiting to take you back. Fun times - enjoy - check out Pez Quadro we loved it there! Next time I'll stop at Tapas just because we didnt give it a try this time.

Where is Tapas located in Costa Maya?

 

Tappas is located in Majuhaul. WHen you get to the pier there will be taxis to take you there. Its a strip of beach with bars/resturants on one side and the beach on the other.

Just back from Explorer, we were in Costa Maya last Weds. We also went to Pez Quadro from costamayaexcursions.com and had a great time. It seemed like everyone was heading for Tapas, so I don't know how crowded it was, but Pez Quadro was not full at all. Plenty of chairs, some nice shaded areas. We also preordered lunch and it was very good, between 4 of us we split 3 plates and still had a lot left over. The drinks were very good, open bar and all top shelf liquor. The staff was very attentive.

 

I also highly recommend Pez Quadro as another great place other than Tapas as it is becoming quite popular. Pez Quadro is a little further down the road from Tapas, but worth the walk.
