rockinmlb Posted March 15, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I am so torn on which excursion to take. We've been to Cozumel before and went to Nachi .. but this time we are taking our kiddos (8 & 6) and I want them to experience the beach and let them play all day. I would love to have drinks and hubby wouldnt mind the alcohol either way. only downside to a beach with all teh water toys is that Im not sure if my kids would play on them. If they want us to go out there, will the place allow us to be in the water with them and not pay for the wristband as long as we arent on the toys or will they require us to purchase the wristband and be with the kids at the same time? (that make sense?) and, where is the best place to book? Carnival is too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that make sense?) and, where is the best place to book? Carnival is too high My family did Paradise Beach for our stop in Cozumel in November 2010. We didn't prebook, just walked in & paid. My kids enjoyed the toys but they were older. For a family of 5, it was alot cheaper then the All Inclusives. The food & drinks were good and I didn't feel to expensive. We were able to go into the water without purchasing the wrist bands but we really didn't get to close to the toys so I'm not sure about making you pay. They have a website, maybe you can drop them an email to check. Since I've been there they added a really great pool. Maybe you can hang at the pool with the kids instead, it looks beautiful. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 15, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Unless your kids are big for their ages I think at least one of you would need to be on the toys with a wristband for them to safely enjoy then - at PB that's $12 each. It was not their the last time we visited Nachi, but recent reports on these boards indicated that Nachi now has a small water toy thing - you might look into that. Between food and drinks I think Nachi is a bargain compared to PB and some of the other pay-as-you-go beach clubs, but it depends upon how many drinks you will enjoy. Don't forget about all the free non-alcoholic "smoothies" mom will allow the kids to enjoy at Nachi. ;) Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had life jackets for them and I would say the kids looked to be 8-12 years old. (There were 3 of them). Looked like they were having a great time on it. I know it was extra to play on it, but, I can't tell you how much. I'm sure Nachi could tell you. They had it positioned maybe 6-10 feet away from the shore - maybe. I think the parents were lounging on the beach close to them but I know there were no adults at the toy itself. Just the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinmlb Posted March 16, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think we have decided on Mr Sanchos or whatever it was. The other place has their toys positioned too far out and although we arent just kickin our kids out and not paying attention to them, I also dont want them attached to my hip either. I know Ill still be looking until the day we leave lol ... I always second guess myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockinmlb Posted March 16, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted March 16, 2012 sorry, Nachi wasnt even a consideration this time. We've been there before and are aware of their policies but since we've been, I dont want to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
