mwrules Posted February 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2009 We are reserved for our 3/21 Ruby Princess sailing & are concerned due to recent news regrarding crime in Mexico. Is it safe? I also heard the drive to club is scary? Is that the drive from main road or to the club? Did we make a mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyz711 Posted February 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2009 the drive is fine driving through town, the taxi keeps slow...as it gets to the highway, they drive a little different then you might at home. the taxi drivers don't like the scooters that drive slow on the main highway lane (they have a special lane for scooters). you have scooters in the wrong lane and tourists in rental cars driving slow..other then a lot of honking, it's fine...plus it's not that long. it was 20 mins for us. it's a big 4 lane highway with scooters lanes on the sides. cozumel is beautiful, very tourist friendly and NOT part of the problems the mainland is having.

Magic City Cruiser Posted February 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's safe but I agree the taxi ride can be scary! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellie_p74 Posted March 1, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We didn't have any problems with taxi's in cozumel. When you get off the port there is a shopping area that you walk through and by the entrance outside of the port there was a guy sorting and diirecting eveyone which taxi to take. He was in charge of getting the taxi's to pull up. Our taxi driver was very nice and it was about 15 minutes or so to Nachi Cocum. On the way back our waiter called a taxi and it was there in about 5 minutes when we were ready to go. I miss Nachi Cocum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoyle999 Posted March 1, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I was just at Nachi last week. Drive wasn't scary at all. Though I couldn't find a seatbelt in the cab! :) It was a nice place to go and avoid the crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCUBADOO414 Posted March 25, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have a quick question about getting to this resort. We have a family of six, 2 adults and 4 children. Do you know if they offer a larger 'shuttle type' vehicle for larger groups? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if they offer a larger 'shuttle type' vehicle for larger groups?Thanks! they have mini-van taxis for larger groups...the person at the taxi stand will call one if one isn't in line already. the price is a little higher (don't remember), they have a sign with prices broken up by resort and number in your party, it's a set price.

mike77 Posted March 25, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2009 We enjoyed our cab ride. Our driver passed a car, that was passing a truck, all while going around a curve on a 4 lane road. Seat belts? We don't need no stinken seat belts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHP Posted March 25, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I really hate it that what is happening in other parts of Mexico is making people fearful of Cozumel. Please...relax..go and have a great time. You will be fine!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenfrewSue Posted March 27, 2009 #14 Share Posted March 27, 2009 We were there last Thursday 19th March. The taxis were great, well organized and flat rate fares. We went to Nachi which is about a 15 minute ride and it was fine. No working seatbelts or air conditioning but all the windows were down and it was comfortable. On the way out our party of 8 split into 2 cabs but we had a van on the way back. The road is big with a median for part of the way. If it was like home it wouldn't be much of a vacation!

hotpinkpanther Posted March 29, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The taxi rides in Cozumel are VERY mild compared to those in Nassau :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
