Great Beach Day that’s not AI?

[Mediterranean_Honeymooner]

We are going in December.  We have the drink package on the ship so I think we may be ready to “dry out” a little by this point. 🤣. So really just looking for a beautiful beach with some loungers to have a laidback day for a low price.

 

I know some of the beach clubs have a pay as you go option, but they say they give preference to AI guests.  I’d hate to pay for a cab and then have them be full.  So does anyone know which beach club may be least likely to fill up or are there other great beach options available in Cozumel not affiliated with beach clubs that I should consider?

do you just require loungers and beach, or pool and watersports? Snorkeling?

The only requirement is beach and loungers. Don’t need water sports or snorkeling this trip. Pool is fine, but not a requirement.  I just want a nice beach.

Palancar, or if you are willing to pay for transport to stay or make arrangements to return, Punta Sur or Punta Morena (no ocean swimming).

 

If you just want loungers and view but little/ no sandy beach, Sky Reef, Money Bar, Buccanos

We love Buccanos,  but they have later hours now,  they do not allow guest until like 11am.  If you want to sleep in they have a absolutely lovely old resort that is amazing to walk around and hang out at.  Plenty of loungers and beautiful clear water,  almost no beach but still nice.

We love Money Bar.  THere is no beach but they have loungers, you can snorkel, they have great food, and cheap massages if you want.

Playa mia includes 1 meal, but no drinks, as the base option, and is a reasonable price.  And the list of included activities is very good for the price.

Is this new?
 

Their website and TripAdvisor still state 10am - 6pm everyday, except Mondays. I actually thought they closed at 5 to prepare for night dining but perhaps they just close the kitchen.

We went to Buccanos again in October and they opened at 10, same as when we went in September.  We enjoyed the place immensely.  Planning another day there in January.

My wife is headed there tomorrow.  She sent me this last night.  I guess she saw it on some social media site.  Used to be $10 but honestly we always spent $20 each anyhow.  Not sure how that applies to kids.  At least they aren’t going AI…yet.

To follow up, they decided not to make the trip to Buccanos because of a short day in Cozumel.  Our port day in January is supposed to be longer so hopefully we can get there then.
