cudjoekey Posted November 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2004 What is the best way to get to Majahaul? Does one take a taxi, walk, rent a golf cart? Further, is transportation to the town easy to find? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted November 9, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I think that taxi is probably the easier and faster than walking, but walking is free. Golf cart might be fun, but much more expensive. We went by taxi and would do so again, except for DW, she would want to go by bicycle. I don't think that transportation in town would be a problem. The taxis all stop at the same place and that is where you catch them when you want to go back to port. As for getting around in town, we just walked along the beach or down the road thru town that is parallel to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyny Posted November 12, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I was there in August and my group rented a golf cart. You can rent them just outside the pier area. It was about $50 but we had the cart for the day and didn't have to deal with taxi lines and had the freedom to do whatever we wanted. And it's hilarious riding on the shoulder of the highway in it. We had no problem parking it, just take the key and go. It was very convenient and lots of fun. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenandbrian Posted November 16, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Just got back from Costa Maya. You can buy a taxi ticket for $3 a person and $2 a person back from the beach. You have to go behind the stores (follow the signs) and buy a ticket to the beach. When you are ready to leave the beach, there are taxis there and you buy a ticket from a booth to get back to the pier. It is all real easy to do.

nolden17 Posted November 16, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I wouldn't recommend walking. When we were there in October, we walked. It was hot and there were a lot of mosquitos. There isn't really that much to see along the road. We walked back from Majahual along the beach and the only way to get back into Costa Maya is to wade into the water around a tall brick wall. We thought it looked a little dangerous so we walked back to Majahual and caught a cab. Some friends of ours came back later and said they made it around the wall and only got wet up to their knees, so it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trixiee Posted November 16, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Can you rent a bicycle for the day? I love cycling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-lynd Posted November 16, 2004 #7 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Wow - the tide must have been very high when you were there. When we were there in Feb we walked to Mahahual along the path by the water with no problem at all. No wading required and no wall. I guess it changes pretty drastically with the time of year.

ParrotHeadFL Posted November 17, 2004 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2004 We took a taxi, but if I ever make it back I'd like to rent a bike and ride there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuleta Posted November 19, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I have been reading all of these threads about Costa May and can say that now I am really confused about how to do my thing LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolden17 Posted November 19, 2004 #10 Share Posted November 19, 2004 The wall looked pretty new. I'm guessing it was just built this past summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
