Mahahual, Mexico - We've NEVER seen anything like this (In a bad way)
We spent one week in the beach paradise Mahahual (Mexico) and it was NOTHING like what we expected.
►Want to learn Spanish? Try what we use:
Mahahual, a town in the state of Quintana Roo is commonly known as Costa Maya. It's the only place we've visited in Mexico where almost 100% of its income is from cruise ship travelers. This makes for an interesting dynamic—one we really don't like, frankly.
Having 1-3 Mexico cruise ships stopping at Costa Maya very easily explains many of the strange things we found in this town. All the locals are catering directly to those visitors because they support the local economy. They speak English with you. You can pay in US dollars. Everyone who works in Mahahual is there to help these Mexico cruise ship travelers have a great time during their day in town.
But watch out! Once the cruise ships leave, most of the restaurants, shops, and activities will close their doors. It looks like a ghost town once Mahahual when no ships are docked.
In this Mexico travel video, we give you some tips on how to make your stay in Mahahual more enjoyable and affordable.
Mahahual, Quintana Roo is certainly beautiful....but is it worth it?

Mahahual Mexico - Costa Maya and The Lost Mayan Kingdom | 90+ Countries with 3 Kids
Mahahual was once a quiet and small fishing village located far away from the Riviera Maya in the southernmost reaches of Quintana Roo. Now a popular Caribbean cruise ship port, and much easier to reach by land, the village of Mahahual still retains a rustic and laid-back charm.
Join us for a tour and discover an amazing themed waterpark called Mayá.
Here you can follow the steps of the great expeditioner Stephen Johnson in his quest to find the Lost Mayan Kingdom on a fun-filled journey with thrilling zip lines, exciting hanging bridges, a twisty Kukulcan zip-coaster and adrenaline-packed water slides
Enjoy the video and let us know where you're watching from!

Costa Maya Tropicante on Mahahual Beach - Carnival Vista Vlog
We had such an amazing day in Costa Maya, Mexico at Tropicante. This place was incredible and very inexpensive! We made a reservation online and once there we only had to but food and drinks, which we would have done anyway, and we had full beach access all day! And the beach is great! Cool breeze and beautiful views. Not the best for snorkeling unless you went pretty far out, but once you did, there was a lot of wildlife. We had the most amazing day here!!

ENGLISH VERSION
We went to Mahahual, is just amazing. This place remains almost virgin, but is growing fast, so, now is THE time to go and get to know the Caribbean as natural as it is. Is still possible to see sole fishes changing to the same color as the sand. Is a unique destination in the Caribbean!

Mahahual Mexico - Best Escape - YouTube
There are few places where you can really leave all your worries behind, just relax on a peaceful beach to the sound of gentle waves, children playing and soak up the sun.
Mahahual is one of the rare treasures where time can seem to stand still and days just never seem long enough. The perfect escape.

Mahahual, Mexico - Costa Maya Beach HD (2016)
Mahahual is a village on the Costa Maya in the municipality of Othon P. Blanco on the Caribbean Sea coast of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Previously a fishing village, it is now a rapidly developing tourist center.
The village of Mahahual is only about 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) away from the Costa Maya cruise port, and cruise ships can easily be seen from the village. Mahahual has soft sand beaches, grass thatched palapas, and a coral reef a short distance off-shore called Banco Chinchorro, as well as several bars, restaurants, and shops. A new development called New Mahahual is being created directly inland from the port. When ships are in port, the village is busy with cruise passengers.
Costa Maya is a small tourist region in the municipality of Othón P. Blanco in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, the only state bounded by the Caribbean Sea to its east. This municipality is close to Chetumal (capital of the state) on the border with Belize. The area is generally undeveloped but has been growing quickly and rapidly after construction of a large pier to accommodate cruise ships. Costa Maya includes two small villages − Mahahual and Xcalak − and extends physically from Xcalak in the south to the southern border of the Sian Ka'an in the north, a distance of approximately 100 kilometers (62 mi).
While Xcalak is approximately 60 kilometers (37 mi) south of the Costa Maya cruise port, the fishing village of Mahahual is only about 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) away. Cruise ships can easily be seen from the village. Mahahual has soft sand beaches, grass thatched palapas, and a coral reef a short distance off-shore called Banco Chinchorro, as well as several bars, restaurants, and shops. A new development called New Mahahual is being created directly inland from the port. When ships are in port, the village is busy with cruise passengers.
Costa Maya's port has a new and modern tourist shopping mall. The center has a central plaza with saltwater pools and 'swim-up' style bars. There are several jewellery stores and many small shops selling ubiquitous souvenir items. It is generally open only to cruise ship passengers.
Costa Maya is the closest port of access to many of the lesser known Mayan ruins in the Yucatan including Chacchoben and Kohunlich. These sites are substantially less excavated than the better known pyramids of Tulum and Coba to the north; Chichen Itza and Uxmal in Yucatan.
The port sustained heavy damage due to Hurricane Dean in August 2007. This included the dock designed for cruise ships. Holland America's Westerdam was the first cruise ship to return to the port since Hurricane Dean on October 31, 2008.
snorkeling in Mahahual Mexico from the beach - YouTube
Cindy stepped off the beach to see what was in the water, where she had been fly fishing a couple days ago. What a surprise! After encountering a school of permit by the ship wreck, she was surprised by a huge spotted eagle ray that was curious about her! Beautiful animal!!

Arrival in Costa Maya & Tropicante Beach Club at Mahahual - Carnival Vista Vlog
It is day four of our cruise on the Carnival Vista and we have arrived in Costa Maya, Mexico! We have only been here twice but it is quickly becoming one of our favorite ports! The port area itself is fantastic with lots to do at no extra cost including a beach and huge pool. But we are not staying in port this time... we are headed to Mahahual Beach as we have a reservation at Tropicante Beach Club! This place is fantastic with a great beach, great snorkeling and an awesome view of the ship! To be continued...
