Chankanaab Random Questions

Does the park have free beach chairs and umbrella included with the entrance fee??

 

Does anyone know the prices of food and drinks. e.g tacos and margaritas?

[skittl1321]

Yes, there are beach chairs and umbrellas.

[mitsugirly]

Yes, the beach chairs under the palapas are free and first come first serve.

 

As for the menu, we had a great mixed platter with a little bit of everything on it for like $12. There was a lot and it was filling. This was ordered from our server (that runs up and down the beach taking orders). Our oldest daughter ordered a burrito over by the dolphin swim area and she paid (I think) it was $10 just for that. She felt ripped off. :p

 

I have 2 reviews in my signature line if you are interested in seeing the place. There are tons of pictures. The snorkeling there is awesome.

The food is really reasonable, in the $10-15 range. I have shared dishes with my DH because it was just too much food to eat alone. I think the price was around $12.

[dcikon2]

You can purchase all types of food in the park.

What does the snorkel entry area look like? Any photos? Is it tough for kids?

 

Thanks!

[Morgsmom]

If you do the Dolphin Encounter with them (DIRECLTY, not through the ship) it includes a Buffet lunch. We booked the dolphin swim directly - it was buy 1 get one free, AND we got free lunch!

If you look at my reviews in my signature line, I have photos of the snorkeling area. My 3 year old did it the two times we were there with me holding her hand and her holding the handrail. :)

Also there is an in the ground pool with a swim up bar.

 

Clean restroom facilities.

 

At the beach free use of hard wooden beach chairs and loungers some under thatched umbrellas...............HOT!

 

We only stayed one hour.

 

Then walked thru the imitation Mayan ruins........it was done well.

Holy busy snorkeling area!

Holy busy snorkeling area!

That was from June 2013. We were on Oasis and there was at least one (maybe two) Carnival boats docked also.

 

We were there three weeks ago on Freedom and we were the only ship. Chankanaab was very empty!

You will find it online with them when booking. They do it all the time, you just have to watch for it.

I believe there is a zip line section in the park call Xtreme. Does it cost extra? How much?

[S.A.M.J.R.]

Yes it costs extra. I'm pretty sure the price was $60pp, but that covered 5 "lines" and two suspension bridges. There are additional lines for additional cost, but I didn't ask about that.

Wait what? They have zip lining there now? I didn't realize that and you are the first that has posted about it (that I have read on here) and that's so cool. I did read that they had some kind of alligator adventure now where you walk across a bridge or something above the alligators? But I'm not really sure what that's all about. :confused:

[Tip_the_clown]

Thanks S.A.M.J.R. for the price.

Mitsugirly the bridge goes over the alligator area.

 

I am torn between Mr. Sanchez or Chaankaaab Park.

Both got something for me with the All Inclusive. Your blog has help me narrow it to these two Mitsugily.

It wasn't there when we visited in June 2013. My teen DD thought they had said $16 for the zip line. :rolleyes: When I asked, I was told $60.

Wow, that's awesome! It zip lines over the lagoon. That's crazy that it's there now. The balls look like fun too. I may just have to go back there again some day. :D
