stewpapa Posted August 10, 2013 #26 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Actually you can now pay with Visa or Mastercard once you arrive. They have it posted on their facebook as of May 28, 2013: NOW you can pay your Nachicocom beach break balance with credit card: VISA and MASTERCARD (only) upon arrival. For all reservations previously confirmed and new bookings. :) Interesting, our reservation we made last week for Oct still said you must pay in cash upon arrival. But that's good to know, in case we spend all our cash before we get there!! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigtony Posted August 11, 2013 #27 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Can anyone enlighten me how much was the taxi ride from the pier to Nachi? Availability of taxi's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellecruise12 Posted August 11, 2013 #28 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Can anyone enlighten me how much was the taxi ride from the pier to Nachi? Availability of taxi's? We were at Int'l Pier.. To get there, plenty of taxis..just tell them where you want to go. On the way back, tell your waiter & he will get a taxi to pick you back up. No problem at all. For 4 the cost was $ 16 or $ 17 then we tipped on that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoramaofthepast Posted August 11, 2013 #29 Share Posted August 11, 2013 You'll have a great time! We thoroughly love Nachi! Here are some other tips and comments: Ask for Carlos, he's the best waiter (IMHO), understand that beach conditions are dependent on the previous night's weather; try a "Dirty Monkey" cocktail; you can have your lunch at your palapa or walk up to the dining area; if you like massages, the massage on the beach is heavenly; try another "Dirty Monkey" cocktail; when you are ready to head back to the ship, just let your waiter know, Nachi has direct radio contact with the island taxi authority and one will be there within 10 - 15 minutes; get a "Dirty Monkey" for the road. :D Pete I second the vote for Carlos! he's great. He brought my drinks right down to the water's edge so all I had to do was float in. The water is almost flat calm - maybe a little wave action, but not much. It's just a lovely place to spend a relaxing day. On our last trip there was a large family group [OK, maybe 12?] at Nachi; they rented a jet ski, a paddle boat and a kayak for the day for everyone in their group to use. If you are bringing kids, especially preteens and teens, I thought that was a good idea because there aren't the toys that you get at Mr. Sancho's.

Rare perfect match Posted August 12, 2013 #30 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm so excited! This year has been soo stressful, and sad. I had to put my cat to sleep yesterday... a partial layoff at my job in February,, ugh!!!! I need a vacation!!!!!!! I can't wait to be sitting on that beach, doing nothing but hanging out with my sweet husband. 55 more days till we sail. Just trying to enjoy the countdown, because I know it'll be over all too soon:(:) Jenny, sorry to hear about your cat and your stressful year. Hope you have a great cruise. Enjoy your day at Nachi. thanks for the info, my husband will have me out of there an hour before the ship leaves, if it wasn't for him I might be a pier runner :eek: Sounds like my husband and I! Actually, there are 2 places I'm NEVER late to, cruise ships and airline flights! Now, getting me off the beach here at home in Florida, well, that's a different story! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFontaine Posted August 13, 2013 #33 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The beach chairs appear to be the hard plastic, uncomfortable type. Is that correct? Are mats available for rental? Those have worked on these chairs. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewpapa Posted August 14, 2013 #34 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yes they are hard plastic. No they are not uncomfortable. Don't know about pads. We dont have a problem with it. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those have worked on these chairs. Thanks. Yes, they do have mats to rent. People come around right when you get to the beach to ask if you want any special things like the mats or jet ski. We did not get any mats but would next time to float on / use on the chairs. Don't recall for sure the price..Like $ 5 - 10 each.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeefan Posted August 15, 2013 #37 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. We are going to book for our January cruise. Definately something to look forward to during a dreary, gray winter in Indiana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekatiel Posted August 15, 2013 #38 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Ever since we missed out on Nachi on one cruise because it was booked for a private event, we actually check to see if Nachi is available BEFORE we book a cruise!!! We're hopelessly in love with the place. Although I've never had a dirty monkey :eek:. What's in it??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junebug1 Posted August 15, 2013 #39 Share Posted August 15, 2013 What if it is a stormy day? can you cancel? This will be our 4th time in Cozumel & would like to try a nice quiet beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

journeymore Posted August 27, 2013 #48 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Do they allow walk ins if they have space available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted August 27, 2013 #49 Share Posted August 27, 2013 [quote name='journeymore']Do they allow walk ins if they have space available?[/quote] I suspect they might, depending upon their staffing level, but why risk $30+ in round trip taxi fare only to find out they are booked? Why not make a reservation? :confused: Unless there is a tropical storm heading to Coz (when your ship would likely cancel the stop) I've never seen it rain in Coz for longer than 10-15 minutes;my theory during rain storms is you are already wet, why not sit at the swim-up bar and order one more round? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
