jerseygirl63 Posted March 31, 2014 #276 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It helps to have spelled it correctly! LOL So far so good. I will keep my fingers crossed!!

bguppies Posted March 31, 2014 #277 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just got the email back from them: All full:( Any suggestions for a nice beach day? We have been to Paradise Beach dozens of times. Looking for something new. Try Mr. Sanchos next door maybe. Maybe Playa Palancar to the south of Nachi. Sadly no other club in Cozumel has the 100 person limit that makes Nachi so amazing.

Giffer Posted March 31, 2014 #278 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Looking forward to this in september. Our cruise friends recommended it and we reserved today. Sounds marvelous as we prefer a quiet beach and drinks to excursions and partying. Sent from my Samsung Note 2 using Forums mobile app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossjemi Posted April 2, 2014 #279 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm a little confused about this time difference stuff. We leave Galveston (central time zone) and arrive in Cozumel on a Saturday (also central, right?) So, it opens at 9am. dot. period. Same as ship time, right?

JohninDC Posted April 2, 2014 #280 Share Posted April 2, 2014 In general, yes - but Mexico and the US adjust for daylight savings on different dates so you could be off by an hour in the spring and the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossjemi Posted April 2, 2014 #281 Share Posted April 2, 2014 What about in 2 weeks? Is Cozumel same CST as the US now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted April 2, 2014 #282 Share Posted April 2, 2014 What about in 2 weeks? Is Cozumel same CST as the US now? Yes - Mexico changes "ahead" on April 6th and "falls back" on October 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bguppies Posted April 2, 2014 #283 Share Posted April 2, 2014 What about in 2 weeks? Is Cozumel same CST as the US now? Mexico follow DST the same as the rest of the world has always observed. As of Sunday morning, their time will be the same at US Central time. Not the BS DST the US has observed since Bush's great idea of a month earlier and later.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneylynn Posted April 2, 2014 #284 Share Posted April 2, 2014 After reading all the great reviews I booked Nachi Cocom. I was wondering is it safe to have ice cubes in your drinks? It's the drinking water ok? Do we need to worry about getting a stomach bug? Thanks Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a delicate "stomach" and have never (knocking on my desk) had a problem yet. I believe all of the western side beach clubs use purified water for their ice and water.

CaribbeanBound Posted April 6, 2014 #289 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Just back from Cozumel, Mexico... The last time we were here we took a horseback tour "through the jungle and visited Mayan ruins". Translation: we rode two emaciated horses through the woods and visited a small pile of rocks. This time we were hoping for better and settled on an all-inclusive resort to chillax. But which resort? A very helpful Cruise Critic member summed up the choices this way: Relaxing beach day = Nachi-Cocom. Party atmosphere = Mr. Sanchos. Kid friendly = Playa Mia or Paradise Beach. If you want snorkeling, Chankanaab or Money Bar is your spot. Since 5 cruise ships were in port (about 10,000 passengers and crew), we booked this one early; and we chose Nachi-Cocom because we wanted to relax and they limit their resort to only 100 visitors per day. The US$55 per person charge includes lounge chairs under a Palapa (natural umbrella), hammocks, all you can drink (open bar including: beer, liquors, cocktails, water, wine, sodas, juices and bottled water), and a 4 course lunch served a la carte at your leisure. Bring towels from ship. Taxi is $16 each way for up to 4 passengers. A 5th passenger is $5 more. (Then it gets ridiculous if you have 6 passengers. 6 - 8 passengers is $32). Nachi Cocom is a nice facility with a beautiful beach. Service was good. Drinks and food were excellent. I also enjoyed a 45 minute massage for $50 plus tip. They have a pool with a swim-up bar, hot tub, and a pier. My wife said she'd like to come back here the next time we're in Cozumel.

Cricket551 Posted April 7, 2014 #291 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Well our cruise is not till next April to this location, but I went ahead and booked Nachi Coccum!!! There will be four of us all adults, so didnt want to wait to long!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted April 7, 2014 #292 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Thank you for the review. I'm seriously considering Nachi for our next cruise. Can you tell me if there is any snorkeling here? Thank you. No beach with a nice snady bottom and any wave action will offer good snorkeling - the waves and sand cloud the water and there are no rocks & reefs for the little fish to hide in. You can find great snorkeling from the shore at The Money Bar - but no AI and no beach. :( Nachi does offer a snorkel excursion for about $35, taking you to a couple of good snorkel spots on the reef; a year or so ago the folks next to us were very happy with it - I was happy to sit in the shade and enjoy another margarita or three. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanBound Posted April 7, 2014 #293 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Agree with what JohninDC said. I did see some adults and kids attempting to snorkel. No idea if they saw much. A non-snorkeler reported seeing a small stingray near the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erries Posted April 8, 2014 #294 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Can you tell me if there is any snorkeling here? We were there two years ago, and my husband rented snorkel equipment -- not the excursion that takes you out to a reef in a boat, just the snorkel and fins and goggles. I don't remember the exact price, but it was relatively cheap -- I'm thinking probably $10-15? He found a small reef with TONS of fish inside the roped off area where you're allowed to swim, and he spent almost literally the entire day out there, floating around and exploring it. The few times he let me use the gear while he took a break, I was able to swim down among the fish, with them going right past my goggles in front of me. For someone who hasn't done much snorkeling (only two other previous excursions on other islands), it was pretty incredible. Now this was two years ago, so I don't know if that area is still like that, but we're booked to go back in May... and my husband has his own equipment this time. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeafl Posted April 8, 2014 #295 Share Posted April 8, 2014 One more thing we noticed about Nachi Cocum last week--the price for their water activities was pretty cheap compared to other places. We rented a jet ski for my daughter and niece. It was $60 for half an hour. Two days later they wanted to rent one again at Sea Grape. beach in Grand Cayman and it was $150 for half an hour!! Needless to say, I'm glad we did it at Nachi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlernme Posted April 9, 2014 #296 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I just reserved Nachi-Comon! Based on everything I have read, this seems like the spot if you're looking for a relaxing day on the beach. I like the fact that it is limited to the first 100 people per day! All you can drink, a four course lunch and plenty of activities (for a fee) to choose from, how can you go wrong; right? We shall see if Nachi-Cocom lives up to the hype! June cannot get here fast enough! I repeat, June cannot get here fast enough!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieJo Posted April 9, 2014 #297 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks for all the great information. Even though we are not going until next March, I went ahead and reserved spots for all 5 of us. Sounds like it will be a great day. Now the hard part is the waiting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j&tcruiser Posted April 11, 2014 #298 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We are going August 24th. Was going to go to Mr Sanchos...recently read alot of negative reviews. Main reason I decided against Mr Sanchos was their limit for max # of people is 450 and there are 5 ships in port that day. Nachi Cocom is only 100!

stoneharborlady Posted April 13, 2014 #300 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Mr sanchez is visible from nachi - she might see the fun inflatables in the water. If I were bring my child I'd go to mr. Sanchos. I definitely would NOT. When I was at Paradise beach, the inflatables are really a bit far out if you cant swim, and really not for small kids (under 10) Also, there were some out there who had too much to drink, and falling off the inflatables, on top of kids.
