Cozumel_Tom Posted September 29, 2006 #301 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Does anyone know if Paradise Beach still takes credit cards? We were there last year a week before Wilma and they did take credit cards, but wasn't sure with the hurricane if there were problems with that now? Paradise Beach was a good deal, but with 4 people w/braclets all day buying drinks, food, t-shirts and hair braiding the credit card came in handy. Thanks Yup, Visa and MC accepted...have fun! paradisecozumel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozumel_Tom Posted September 29, 2006 #302 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Plan on heading to PB November 4th after reading such fantastic things about it. Sounds like a great place to celebrate my 29th birthday.:D See ya then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozumel_Tom Posted September 29, 2006 #303 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hello PB Tom, As I have previously warned you, we will be invading Paradise Beach on Fri, Oct. 6. Seems I have generated a little more interest on our roll call and our "Rhapsody Raiders" group may expand to a great deal more than just the 7 of us. You may have to order a little more "Windex". :D Bring on the "Windex Raiders"! I ain't skeered!:D paradisecozumel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray310 Posted September 29, 2006 #304 Share Posted September 29, 2006 We do have a strong employees that are used to carrying wheelchairs and their passengers almost anywhere on the beach though!:) Thanks for the quick response Tom, I appreciate the offer I may just have to take you up on it and save my back a little bit of lifting. Now that's some good customer service. Thanks, Stingray310 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimpy23 Posted September 30, 2006 #306 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Snorkeling does any one know how much it cost and how long you acually snorkel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CozInsiderJacq Posted September 30, 2006 #307 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Snorkeling does any one know how much it cost and how long you acually snorkel? The snorkel trip that departs from Paradise Beach is $35 plus the $2 marine park fee - it leaves at 12:30pm and returns at 2:30pm - you go to Columbia and Palancar reefs - I'm guessing you spend about 30-40 minutes snorkeling at each reef. Still trying to get out there to do the trip but the only day I have off is Sunday and the trip doesn't run on Sundays!! hint hint Tom.

capone Posted October 1, 2006 #308 Share Posted October 1, 2006 We will be in Cozumel for the first time 10/5/06. My 8 yr old son isn't a very strong swimmer. Are there life vests available on Paradise Beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyeinmd Posted October 1, 2006 #309 Share Posted October 1, 2006 We will be in Cozumel for the first time 10/5/06. My 8 yr old son isn't a very strong swimmer. Are there life vests available on Paradise Beach? Yes, ane he will need it. We were there in August with my 7 and 10 year olds. The water is too deep at the trampoline to stand.

asr3535 Posted October 2, 2006 #310 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks to another reader I went to the cozumelinsider.com site. On the beaches page clicking on Paradise Beach I've read so many good things about, it mentions the normally $8 for beach toys is free. Don't know how long this offer is good or if really valid, but worth a try if you're going. Has anyone taken the dune buggy trip? We have 3.5 yr old twins, and need something active for them. Disney's excursion they don't meet the age requirement, but the cozumelinsider.com trip does allow younger kids. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezmony54 Posted October 2, 2006 #311 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Just got back from a week on the Glory and just wanted to say thanks to Tom and the crew at the beach. We had a great time relaxing in confortable chairs at a beautiful beach. We were not harssed to buy things as at some we have been and the crew at the beach just came by enough to make sure we had what we wanted. Tom came by to check on us and we ask about a place to eat in town. Tom, we went to that place and I had the shrimp and it was great. Wish I could remember the name to tell others. It was mostly locals when we went. Any way thanks again and if anyone is wondering where to go to relax, This is it...ez:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradise Beach - only day it's free is Sundays - the rest of the week there is an $8 fee p/p for the floats, water trampoline, iceburg, kayaks etc. ---- Sorry if there was any confusion I believe we have emailed about the Dune Buggy already today... hope the response helped!

jilllenae Posted October 3, 2006 #313 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hi Tom! I have done lots of research and we think that Paridise Beach would be the perfect fit for our group. We are looking for a beach day with a snorkel option. We have 6 of us and we would like to make a reservation for Sat. Oct 21. We would like to reserve chairs and the snorkel trip for all 6 of us. Let me know if this is OK. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyblue Posted October 3, 2006 #314 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I know this may be off the subject but I knew if anyoen knew the answer you would... Is it possible to send home liquor from Cozumel? Is it feasible? Is there a post office in Coz to do so. We want to send back some Kahlua and maybe some tequila. I read that you can do this and the liquor you send home wont count towards your liquor allowance. We are leaving for Coz on Saturday so if you can answer this I would be greatful... P.S. we have been to PB several time, brought school supplies with us for the kids and we loved your facilty. Hoping to come agin this trip and if not this trip then in Decmeber when we cruise again Thanks for all your help Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzincogs Posted October 3, 2006 #315 Share Posted October 3, 2006 We are visiting Paradise in November. Any foods we have to sample? We are sooooooo looking forward to this beach. Our kids can't wait to tackle the iceburg;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas greeneyes Posted October 3, 2006 #320 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I would like to hear from some of you who have parasailed from Paradise Beach, for advice about photographing and/or video recording it. Does the parasailing rep take photos and/or video to offer for sale? If so, what is the cost? If not, are they willing to do so using your camera? Do you recommend taking a camera up with you; would the view make for good pics? I am posting this question live from the Carnival Conquest…we will be in Cozumel on Friday. Any information my fellow CC’ers can provide will be gratefully appreciated, as always! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately mailing away liquor is not an area of my expertise:D Are you sure you want to chance it? Don't even know if the post office would accept the responsibility. There is a post office right downtown on the main drag beside Carlos 'n Charlies, a convenient location. I'm going to have to defer to other folks on this board; has anyone ever mailed liquor bottles from Cozumel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Annie Posted October 4, 2006 #322 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I think most stores who sell the liqor offer shipping. I've never done this myself but have friends who say they have. You just make your purchase, and then ask for it to be shipped to . . . . Of course I'm sure there's a shipping charge but would be worth it not having to haul it home yourself along with all your luggage. (allthough I have seen people coming home off their flights carrying the cardboard six pack case of liqor bottles). I believe Carnival ships also sell a small softsided suitcase on wheels to be used as a carryon to tote home liqor. (Tip: 1/2 price on last day of cruise) Just DON'T make the same mistake a friend of mine made a few years ago who found a on Kaluha she couldn't refuse, and wanted to take a JUMBO size bottle home for her sister. She was sure that if she rolled it up in 1-2-3 bath towels and packed all her clothes around it in her suitcase that it would be fine. Unfortunately, when we found her bag in the luggage claim area, it was sitting in a pool of kaluha:-(and all of her clothes were ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tip: 1/2 price on last day of cruise) Sadly, with the "liquid" restrictions...you can't carry it on the airplane. And I am sure it would end up like your friend's if someone checked it.
