We visited Mr. Sancho's Beach Club in Cozumel during a cruise stop and had a fantastic experience…read more The beach club is about a 15-20 minute taxi ride from the cruise port where the ships dock. When we got off the ship there was a line of taxis ready to go and the ride cost $20 for two people one way. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and guided us to the front desk where we checked in for our reservation. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time because it definitely helps expedite your entrance. One thing worth noting is that when we booked online it didn't show cabanas available, but when we arrived the host checked and was able to get us into one. I highly recommend getting a cabana if one is available because it gives you a nice private area to relax. That said, there are also plenty of tables with covered umbrellas that provide shade from the sun. What really stood out about this place was the level of service. It was incredibly attentive. I honestly don't think we ever waited more than a few minutes before someone came by asking if we needed another drink or more food. Our servers were Juan and Pops/Eric and both of them were fantastic. It felt like every time I turned my head one of them was checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They offer all-inclusive food and you can either go up to the buffet or order directly from the menu and have it delivered to your table or cabana. The property also has multiple pools, massage services, swim-up areas, and gift shops around the resort. At one point what appeared to be a manager came by and asked how we heard about the place and checked in on how our experience was going. That really reinforced how focused they are on service. The location is right on the beach so you get beautiful ocean views while enjoying unlimited food and drinks throughout the day. Overall Mr. Sancho's delivers a great beach day experience with excellent service and it's definitely a place I would visit again when returning to Cozumel.

10/10 recommend!…read more Service is on point. I have never been disappointed! Omar, Roberto, and Julien, gracias! Food and beverages flow like it's the way it was intended! Cabanas are via reservation and they are super useful for groups and those that need an afternoon nap! I absolutely love this place!

Cozumel Day at Paradise Beach…read more We booked the all-inclusive day pass through Viator and saved 10%, and honestly... anytime I can save a little money, I will. Quick tip for anyone going: when you walk out of the port and head to the taxi line, don't just jump into the first one. Our first driver tried to upcharge us quite a bit. We kept walking and were able to negotiate. I had heard it's usually around $15 per ride (not per person), but we ended up paying $20 -- and honestly it's a bit of a drive, so I get it. Also... those taxi drivers drive like we're in GTA. Once we arrived, the vibe was totally peaceful. Yes, the chairs are fairly close together (similar setup to Mr. Sanchos), but Paradise Beach felt much calmer and less of a party scene, which we really appreciated. The food and drinks were actually really good for an all-inclusive beach club. We tried quite a few things: * Nachos * Quesadillas * Blue cheese burger * Grilled shrimp * Coconut shrimp * Grilled mahi tacos -- which were the highlight The beach was nice, the pool was great, and you basically pick your "home base" (pool or beach) so your waiter knows where to find you for food and drinks. A few other things worth noting: Great bathrooms and changing rooms Lockers available (extra fee) Inflatable water park for kids (extra fee) Paddleboards and snorkeling (extra fee) Would I go again? Yes.

So six of my favorite people went on a NCL cruise and wanted some local flavor outside of the ship…read moreand NCLs port. I remember the excitement of Carlos & Charlie's during my 20s. So when I realized the taxi service was taking us to Carlos and Charlie's Beach Club I was excited. We were told showers, towels, umbrellas and beach towels were complimentary. We arrived to a run down shack that could only be considered a beach club the way a broken down Ford Fiesta is technically a car. We received a warm welcome from the hostess and we were told that we needed to buy towels. When we told the hostess that we were told towels were part of the fee the staff all acted as if this was news to them. The chairs were cheap and scratchy and the moment we sat down we were assaulted by a mariachi band, a cigar vendor, a tattoo lady, a woman with a bearded dragon, a man with a parrot, a man with a lemur, a man doing sketchy tequila tastings from a cooler and a solicitation for watersports. We ordered ceviche quesadillas and a round of drinks. We were overcharged for our food and drinks. We were told Cozumel' s exchange rate is mysteriously lower than the rest of Mexico. All the menu prices are in pesos so when I did the conversion each charge was about 25-30% higher than the menu price. At one point I asked the manager 'why don't you just say you are arbitrarily charging me what you want.' NCL is also part of the problem because instead of docking and allowing people to explore the city, they make passengers walk through. Duty Free just to get out of the port. This sign was the most accurate, you would have to be drunk to go to this place. Save your money and book a resort.

Very quick drive from the port to Carlos N Charlie's. Fare was $18, each way. The staff is very…read morefriendly but will not pester you, so simply raise a hand to get their attention. The vendors aren't very aggressive, but their prices are much higher than the retail stores. The $20 admission gets you a table, chairs and umbrella, as well as your choice of drink. The drink was pretty weak, but it's still a solid deal for the chairs etc. The beach is soft, white sand and the water was crystal clear. The inflatables were nice enough, but older and definitely under inflated. There are kayaks and paddle boards available, as well as jet skis. Beers were nice and cold, much better option for your money than the drinks. I highly recommend the Tacos Aserrīn - so good!

We arrived around 11 a.m. and were greeted by staff who immediately asked if we had reservations…read more When we told them we didn't, they informed us that we would be charged $20 per person--including children--to use the chairs and showers unless we ordered both food and drinks for each person. Their tone came across as aggressive and somewhat rude, which was surprising, but we assured them it wasn't an issue since we planned to order food and drinks anyway. Still, their approach left a sour first impression. This used to be our favorite spot 12 years ago when it was open to the public and free to enter. Back then, ordering food and drinks was optional, but the place has since changed under the ownership of Landmark Corp. Public access is no longer allowed without meeting their requirements or paying a fee. There are a few important things to note: sunscreen is not allowed, and there is no lifeguard on duty, so swimming and snorkeling are entirely at your own risk. The menu now caters primarily to tourists, featuring westernized dishes with a touch of Mexican cuisine. Prices are similar to what you'd find in the U.S., which is expected for a tourist destination. Cruise ships frequently drop off passengers here, so lounge chairs tend to fill up quickly until they leave. Additionally, paying by credit card incurs a transaction fee, so using pesos is the better option. If I hadn't come with my kids--and if visiting the Money Bar wasn't the main reason for our trip to Cozumel--I might have walked away. This place holds so many special memories from when we were single and used to travel to Mexico often, but the changes have made it feel far less welcoming than it once was.

Came here to access the beach. Minimum requirement to spend a food and a drink per person to use…read moretheir amenities and to use the beach, kinda ripoff policy but this is what you get most of the places around Cancun, Tulum, and Cozumel. Kinda figure out if you cannot beat the system then go along with it. The food and service is alright at this place. There are some waves and current at the beach, kinda have to put some effort to swim and to snorkle in here. I would say this isnt the best place to enjoy the beach. If you go down more to the south you may find better beach, say Playa Palancar ; ) So, next time skip this place and go down more south ; )

I've walked by the Tikila Bar for 6 years now but never stopped because it looked like just a bar…read more This year, I learned that it's owned by the Paprika people, which is one of my favorite restaurants. So we stopped in. Jungle-By- Tikila is wonderful. There is a dinner deck out back that is not visible from the street. The food was very good with a special shout-out for the EXCELLENT shrimp tacos, the BEST I've had on the island. NOTE - the Yelp map shows the location of Jungle-By-Tikila ad way south of the Tikila Bar. That is NOT correct. Tikila and Jungle-By-Tikila are the same building. Tikila is the name before 5 and J-B-T after 5. I wish they had happy hour prices but that would be my only suggestion.

Beautiful place, but mediocre tourist food…read more One of the shop owners of a souvenir store recommend me this place. I tried it out cause it was close. Honestly, it was just very average Mexican food. I came with a group of 8. I only managed to take a pic of my shrimp tacos but we also have beef tongue, shrimp, and shrimp ceviche. We must've came on an unlucky day because it tasted off? Not like rancid bad, but it def wasn't fresh. The service was fine. I felt like they were kinda being pushy on ordering more expensive stuff or asking us if we wanted to add this or that. They accidentally brought out 6 Mexican cokes instead of 4, and still charged us. Overall, I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for quality. It's a touristy place, with an inflated price.
