MississippiMom Posted March 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Yes, I've searched the boards. Yes, I've Googled. Yes, we've docked in Cozumel on past cruises. Before it got crowded, our favorite was Isla Pasion (aka Passion Island). We did enjoy the service at Paradise Beach and the yummy food truck selections, but the beach and the ocean really didn't impress on the day we were there. We are currently leaning toward one of the resort day passes, so that the children in our group can enjoy the pool and/or activities, but reviews are so mixed. Playa Mia looks fun, but it also looks like it might be miserable for those who would prefer to not be surrounded by children. (Five of the adults in our large group are childless and seem to definitely like it that way.) I was hoping to find something "new" or "renovated" or "a hidden gem" that my fellow CCers might have loved and are trying to keep a "secret" from the masses. Thank you!!!

bguppies Posted March 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2023 If no one has any new suggestions for you, may I suggest doing what our groups do when we have a large, diverse of intrests group in Cozumel. We've had some go do Dolphin or other excursions and then meet us at a beach club later. Maybe have the part of your group with kids, go to Playa Mia and the happily childless couples go to their beach club of choice. (Nachi, Sanchos, whatever) Then meet up for a late luch or drink before heading back to the ship. Best of luck in your quest for a beach day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatonDoolittle Posted March 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I agree with @bguppies. I've found that the Number 1 rule when traveling with a group is "Everyone is responsible for their own happiness". Make sure everyone understands and agrees, so that no feelings get accidently damaged. Trying to make everyone happy with an outcome is a setup for disaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 25, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just about any beach club you go to on the west side is going to have the same ocean (conditions to change with weather) and beach. That said there are several AI resorts with good beaches, Iberostar, Allegro, El Cozumeleno,The Occidental on Playa San Francisco. Probably others. Most day passes run about $60-$70 per adult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MississippiMom Posted March 27, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Thanks to those that replied! I am going to go back to our family members and give them the feedback. Personally, I prefer "each family does their own thing" and I thought that's where we were, when we first scheduled this multi-generational cruise. But as that final payment date gets closer and closer, it seems that more of the group wants to try to coordinate the excursions. (Thank goodness it's just two port stops.)
