jefffromdallas Posted November 18, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I have heard about massages ranging from $20-30 for anywhere from a 30-45 minute massage. Can any of you who have been there and have recieved a massage tell me where I can get one for a good rate? Are they available at the port for these awesome rates or do I need to go into Majual?

bruce-r Posted November 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I don't know if massages are available in the cruise line built port facilities at Costa Maya, but I do know I saw them in Mahahual for $20 for 30 minutes. larger photo larger photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherub44 Posted November 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Yes you could get them right in the main area just off the pier. They had a little curtained booth thing just behind the pool. IIRC it was $25 for 30 minutes, $40 for 45 minutes, and I think it was $20 for 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefffromdallas Posted November 18, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I can't wait! So it sound like they are cheaper in Mahahual. Can you haggle a rate for a longer massage? Anyone done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce-r Posted November 18, 2005 #7 Share Posted November 18, 2005 bruce-r, Those are great pictures. Was that at Mahahual? Thanks. Yes it was, right across the road from Hotel Mahahual. We pretty spent pretty much the whole day there. It was probably my familie's favorite stop on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airhead22 Posted November 20, 2005 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2005 We got ours, $20. for 40 minutes in a 2 story bar in Mahahual. I do not know the name but it has a Coca cola roof and swings for barstools. It is very private and the massages were great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefffromdallas Posted November 20, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Thank you all for the info. Having never been to Mahahaul, these pictures and tips will help greatly. So it sounds like my wife and I can get a 1hr. massage easily for $40 pp. And that can be either at the port or in Mahahaul. Hmm... Maybe a 2hr???? I've had 1.5 hour massage and they go by so quicky.

jefffromdallas Posted November 24, 2005 Author #10 Share Posted November 24, 2005 One other quick question. Do you pay before or after the massage? And what is an appropriate tip? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.I think they will tell you if you pay before or after. As to a tip, I'd go at least $5 for a 30 min. probably more it is was really good.

Terpnut Posted November 27, 2005 #13 Share Posted November 27, 2005 If it weren't for our 3pm appointments at Liberty's spa (at $99/50 minutes), I would've stayed on the beach for the $20/30 minutes! On top of that, the Majahual beach massages are right on the beach and less than 50 ft from ocean so we could've let the kids continue to play and still supervise them!

runner1909 Posted December 6, 2005 #14 Share Posted December 6, 2005 On another thread someone said they don't change the towels on the massage tables--is that true? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airhead22 Posted December 8, 2005 #15 Share Posted December 8, 2005 No, they don't, but what do you expect for the price. I just used my own that I had with me and laid it down. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner1909 Posted December 8, 2005 #16 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Good idea, I hadn't thought about taking my own, but if we are going to be at the beach, I would have one. Duh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs56 Posted December 9, 2005 #17 Share Posted December 9, 2005 At the restaurant El Faro we got our massages $20 for 40 min. also. It was AWESOME!!! Well worth double that amount. I tipped $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
