![]() If your idea of a vacation is to lay back and soak up the sun, then you'll want to escape to the cool refuge of the Beach Escape Beach Club. It did seem much noisier than it used to be last time I walked that way.Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction. Were you at the location with the shipping containers or a beach bar with a very small dipping pool near the bar? If you were at the old Snr Frogs I would be interested to know because I am thinking of going to Blue Kay and want to know if there is a lot of noise from whoever has taken over next door. Your description sounds like you were somewhere on the malecon? Did you have beach bars to the left and right and could you see the light house? Unfortunately that still doesn’t clarify if you are talking about the same beach as 2+2. Moral of the story, don't do the Beach Snorkel excursion through Royal Caribbean. shore excursion manager let me know they would take off that charge, but didn't apologize or give any explanation. Should have known.eventually after 2 days, the asst. It's my fault for not looking at the slip I was signing, but at the time we were just relieved and happy that they were offering to us skip the snorkel portion and said it would be less. shore excursions manager who said we picked a different excursion and it was more because it included an open bar.but our original excursion also had an open bar so I knew that wasn't a valid argument. I spoke with guest services who then had me talk to the asst. WHAT!!! The guy said the beach portion would be cheaper than the beach and snorkel but suddenly I was paying an additional $16.99 per person. Here's where you need to look at what you are signing (which I didn't do) When I got a statement that night, there was a $139.98 charge on my account and 2- $53.00 credits. ![]() We weren't having the best time because you couldn't relax because of all the people and the music, so we left and went back to the ship. You had access to free wifi and had to go to the bar to get the code but then it disconnected everytime you turned off your phone, so that was a pain. There was a man with a monkey that you could pay to get a picture. There was a "boardwalk/sidewalk" area you walked across to get to the restrooms that had all types of souvenir stands and lots of people asking you there to buy things. Another drawback is that they have music blaring and the speakers cut in and out so it is quiet, loud, quiet. ![]() There were people every 10-15 minutes asking you if you wanted a pedicure, hair braiding, bracelets, hats, cigars.ugh!!! We ordered fish tacos for lunch which were $10 and very good. The waiter was very nice and would ask about every 1/2 hour if we needed something. I couldn't sit on them for more than about 15 minutes because of my back, so moved to a wicker upright chair. Unfortunately the chairs are on the sand and are old broken wicker recliners that are VERY uncomfortable. We were greeted by a waiter who took us to a section that we had to sit in. Still cannot find anything on the internet about a Beach Escape place. Arrived somewhere where everyone was wearing shirts that said Beach Escape. He took us to a desk and asked for our seapass cards, and proceeded to have us sign a receipt and a waiver (more on this later.just beware what you sign) Bus ride was about 15 minutes of fast driving, quick stopping and bumpy roads. The tour person said the price would be less for just the beach day and we would get a credit. We had the option of cancelling, booking another excursion or just doing the beach portion. When we arrived at the port, they said it was very rough and only experienced snorkelers should do the excursion. We chose the Beach Snorkel excursion from RCL. There was no pool, although I thought I had read there was when booking, the beach was called bamba beachĬould you be more specific as to where this was located on the malecon as that is what people on this thread are really trying to determine? Were you near the lighthouse? We really tried to make the best of it as it was our last beach day, but couldn’t get in the sea, so rather than waste the day went back to the ship. Otherwise avoid, we set off at 10 am and we’re waiting for taxi back to ship at 1pm, 20 minutes wait. If you just want to sit on the beach and drink out of small plastic cups, this is for you. The beach itself is ok, but you cannot walk in the sea, it is rocky and as the water is s murky brown for the first few metres you cannot see where to stand. ![]() The whole place is made of shipping containers, toilets, bar, food service area. Do not book the Costa maya beach break with royal carribean, we were there today and it is quite honestly the worst excursion we have ever done in thirty odd cruises.
