Paradise Beach question

[cosmo1027]

I have a question about the $10 per person minimum at Paradise Beach.  If you have a group of 5 people, does each person have to spend at least $10, or as long as the total bill is greater than $50, does it matter if not everyone ordered something? 

Thank you for your help!

As a family of 4 we have always spent over $40, but it was on the same check.   I think if you have it all on the same check it shouldn't matter.

You will be fine.

Yes, they do not keep a close look away. Plus, you are likely to spend more. Enjoy.

We were there last week with a group of 10, who were split onto 3 separate checks (3, 3, 4).  I don't think they checked to see that each individual was over $10, but each of the 3 checks covered the $10x amount.

 

One note - order your food before you get too hungry; the main kitchen can get backed up & result in a long wait for food once the place gets crowded.  Since our last time there, they've also added a "taco truck" that was pretty good & served simple "street tacos" fairly quickly (you could order through your waiter & it was included on your tab towards the $10 pp minimum).

Sweet!!!!  Is the truck parked outside of the fron entrance or somewhere inside the property?  You didn't by chance get a pic of the taco truck menu did you?  Thanks for the great news!!!

The truck is inside, between the pool and beach, with several picnic tables available.

As John indicated, the truck is inside - between the pool & the beach.  I did not get a pic of the menu, but will see if my niece may have (she's kinda the family photographer & takes an abundance of photos); if she didn't, I'll check with my boys - they'll probably remember most of what was on the menu.  IIRC, it was fairly simple - soft tacos, maybe burritos; a few types of meat (fish, shrimp, pork, beef), typical street taco toppings - shredded cheese, shredded cabbage, a couple of kinds of sauce. 

I'd eaten a good bit of ceviche already so didn't eat much of the tacos, but what I had was quite good.

My kids already love Paradise Beach, when I told my 16 year old that they now have a taco truck, he went crazy!!  Everytime I even suggest that they might want to try another place to go in Cozumel, they say no way!!
