Costa Maya - Uvero Beach - Can I take A Taxi There?
Has anyone taken a taxi to Uvero beach. I've seen lots of helpful comments
here, and in the google archives, about people who have taken the excursion to Uvero beach and it sounds like a great place to go. But $39 per person for a party of 8 adds up fast, and we're not too interested in the open bar (or should I say I'd rather my teenagers didn't have access!). So can we take a cab there? Anyone know the cost & size of the cabs? Is there an entry fee? Who, if anyone, controls chair rentals or usage? And finally - will there be cabs waiting to take us back or do we need to arrange pick-up with our driver? |

Costa Maya - Uvero Beach - Can I take A Taxi There?
I had the same concerns last July when we went there. I emailed them and
asked about doing it separately from the cruiseline but was told it was only available through the cruiseline. We passed and got a taxi into town ($5 pp r/t) and rented waverunners, then went back to the pool at the port and had some tall frozen margaritas at the swim up bar.

Costa Maya - Uvero Beach - Can I take A Taxi There?
I too am interested in Larry's question as we will be visiting Costa Maya in
a few weeks. When you got your taxi to town did you notice if there were cabs going to Uvero Beach or did you hear any discussion about it after your day there. I still have to think that there are cabs to Uvero. When you said that you "e-mailed them", who is them? Still hoping someone will answer the admission fee question for Uvero Beach.

Costa Maya - Uvero Beach - Can I take A Taxi There?
You probably could take a cab to Uvero Beach but it is privately owned and
used by the tour company that provides excursions to the cruise lines. The owner provides not only food and drink but constantly cleans the beach and restrooms. It may be possible to get through the gate since it is rarely guarded but doing so would, in my opinion, be like sneaking into a movie theatre or amusement park.

Thanks Will - your answer puts things in perspective. Sounds like this
isn't really a taxi site, nor that Taxi's would be waiting when we wanted to leave. "Will Main" wrote in message ...

Costa Maya - Uvero Beach - Can I take A Taxi There?
Hello Theresa,
Thank you for your info on Uvero Beach. My wife and I booked Princess' excursion to Uvero last night based on reports posted in RTC. Your pictures are terrific. Thanks for sharing them. Bob "Theresa" wrote in message ... Uvero Beach was built by the same people who built the port area at Costa Maya. When we inquired at Uvero Beach, we were told it is a private beach available only for those who book it through the cruise lines. It is a very clean beach and I would definitely recommend the excursion through the ship. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Uvero beach and the excursion provides very nice air conditioned buses to take you and for the return. Here are some pics of Uvero Beach in my album: http://tinyurl.com/2yakv -- Theresa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Theresa's Profile: 106 View this thread: 61824 |

Costa Maya - Uvero Beach - Can I take A Taxi There?
When we were in Costa Maya last April we took the ship excursion to
Uvero Beach. It was relatively inexpensive think around $21 dollars per person? In any event we boarded a tour bus that transported us to the beach. Your welcomed and given a brief talk and then left on your own. IMO the cost was worth the open bar and transport round trip. |

Costa Maya - Uvero Beach - Can I take A Taxi There?
Hello Len,
Thank you for your insight on Costa Maya. No doubt, it's popularity is on the rise and so is the price. Grand Princess is now asking $36 per/pax which includes and open bar. Not wanting to miss Uvero we booked the excursion. Looking forward to a delightful day at the beach. Bob "Len C." wrote in message ...

Bob, I just pulled out my old Royal Caribbean docs from the April
cruise. I was mistaken the Uvero Beach Break was $36 per person NOT $21 as I initially posted. I was thinking of another tour! Sorry... Len |
