jamon Posted December 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Here is an article about Costa Maya and what to look out for when going to a specific place in the town of Mahahual. Once you get out of the taxi, you will be approached by "Jaladores" as they are called, and will try and get you to go to there place, even telling you that the one you want to go to is no longer in business which of course will not be true. https://ahhhmahahual.com/2016/11/30/just-say-no-gracias-to-jaladores-in-mahahualcosta-maya-and-then-enjoy-your-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 7, 2017 This sounds like my kinda deal! Where did you tell the shuttle you wanted to go? We have nt been to this port before. ;) Just tell the shuttle driver you want to go to Krazy Lobster. Do NOT get off at the first stop. You should make a stop at Calle Sierra, might be the second stop unless someone wants to go to Kim Bar. It's a short walk to malecon, turn left. You can't miss the Krazy Lobster signs. Another landmark to look is before Calle Sierra, you should see the street front for the Hotel Mahahual which houses the Krazy Lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted March 18, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Great article. It sounds like things have gotten worse since I was there last a few years ago. That really sucks. I do remember someone on here trying to go to Blue Kay and this happened to them and they were disappointed only to find out that BK wasn't closed like they said. It pays to do your homework prior to going and stick to it no matter what these people tell you. I really hope this place doesn't get as bad as other places that hound the heck out of you that it makes for an unpleasant experience (like Jamaica or Belize outside the ports).
