Krazy Lobster and Seaweed in Costa Maya today

[Jeal]

Just returned from another fabulous time at the Krazy Lobster. Absolutely no seaweed in the water. We walk to the Krazy Lobster from the port so we see the coastline along the boardwalk. There was minimal seaweed on shore and absolutely no smell. The water was gorgeous.

Thanks for update. Amazing how reports change within a week. The review last week said sargassum was thick but I don’t think they actually left the port so wouldn’t have the offshore protection.

 

Was there any sand at your section of Krazy Lobster? Recent reviews have suggested increased rocks and sand bags but I think that is probably just one area of the frontage.

It looked the same as always. I think the area the other post might have been talking about is the area to the left when facing the water. That area was not part of the original Krazy Lobster and as I remember (which could be incorrect) that area always had a rock wall and steps into the water. We will be back there in September and I will try to remember to ask Mauricio about any erosion.

Was at Krazy Lobster last week. No seaweed problem at all. Service was excellent - plenty of room even with 4 ships in port.

What route do you take? Do you go on the roads  or is there a path along the shore? Thanks.

There is a walking track down the middle of the road much of the way. I recall seeing a You tube video once. 
 

You can cut through the new town towards the shore but the original coast path was blocked off years ago.

We walk the path c-legs is talking about. We exit the port and take the walking path straight ahead. We have walked there many times - most recently at the beginning of April. You will be walking the same route as the taxis take. The walking path ends at the main road to the beach so you have to walk along the road. The road is wide and both sides have a shoulder for walking. One side now has a barrier between the car lanes and the shoulder. We walk every day when we are home and we live in a hot climate. Bring water with you for along the way. There are a couple of places where you can get a drink along the way but we prefer to bring water from the ship. I would only try to walk there if you are used to walking a couple of miles without any issues. It will be hot.

jamon- I think the expectation is that you order food as well. We always order a bucket of beer, a couple of cokes from Mexico and something to eat. Our bill is about $30. The taxi fare there is $4 per person.
