Beautiful relaxing day - The staff is very attentive, they were simply wonderful, the food was delicious they greeted us upon arrival and promptly paid the taxi, easy entry into the ocean, yes there was some seaweed but it is the ocean 😊👍 will definitely recommend and come back

Wonderful experience - Amazing time. We stopped in Costa Maya on a cruise. We wanted to relax for the day and this delivered. Sharon was waiting for us to pay the taxi driver, took us to our beach side loungers already reserved for us, the small stretch of beach felt private and the water was so nice. The service was amazing, always came a sound to check on us, we ordered the lobster, fajitas, ceviche (all included) and it was all so good. The drinks…also delicious, and all included too! Felt like royalty. And wait, the massage by the beach was the best one I’ve ever had (and I get a lot) and cheap.

DO IT! - Wonderful time, we were on the Jubilee 7/29/25. I have 20 year Old Twins they had an excellent time at this Beach Day plenty of drink options, the food was so good. I have cruised for over 10 years and I have not ever done a excursion that Carnival did not sponsor so I was out of my comfort zone but, it was easy to get to and well worth the money in Costa Maya! Sharon the owner is all business and she definitely knows how to run a smooth ship! I will definitely do this one again. The Lobster was soooo good try it for sure!

A beautiful day at Nacional Beach Club! - The excursion meeting point--my biggest worry--was easy to find once you figure out how to get out of the port shops area. We were directed to the taxi point immediately. Once we arrived at Nacional, we were checked in and was serviced by Julian all day long. Julian made sure we were not wanting for anything. He was especially accommodating with my grandsons who had dropped pizza incidents as soon as it was delivered. He quickly ran back and got us another! He brought out a paddleboard, and since we literally had the beachfront to ourselves for the day, we enjoyed it in the warm lagoon water. The only downside were the constant beach merchant hawking. Same people over and over and over again. My son's family purchased some offerings but really was bothered by the constant interruption. At the end of the day, we looked forward to showering off the coral sands, but the offered showers were not operational. My grandsons got abrasions from the shell-cracked mixed sand when walking back through port and back to the ship. If ever back in Costa Maya, we will keep this top of mind.

Great staff! Service was great and the drinks were very good! - It rained but the staff was great, never had to wait on anything, we sit inside till it sped raining and then was waited on outside...The pizza and guacamole were very good..Highly recommend the dirty monkey!

Too many beach vendors - Nice place overall with good service and good food. If it wasn't for the large amount of beach vendors I would recommend and book again. Hard to relax with so many beach vendors though. You can't lean back and have peace because they stop and try to get your attention by talking to you until you say no. There were more times than I can count where someone was asking me to buy something probably every 30 seconds. This problem isn't specific to this business from what I understand but it makes it hard for us to enjoy this port. Also the beach is very shallow and there are power boats that are rented parked nearby and they drive right thru the swim area. The pool is tiny and when I was there was just a splash area for kids.

Reality is different from images - First the good things: the food was decent, the beach chairs had shade, Mother Nature provided a breeze, and the server was attentive. Now the reasons for two stars: there were no specific instructions as to where to meet the vendor at the port; The taxi to and from the port was included but the messaging prior to arrival didn’t indicate that was the case, or that we would be taking a taxi. The water was not appealing, no blue water in sight (seaweed and motor boats tied to the “beach”, and the hammocks over the water no longer exist, the photos are obviously photoshopped. There were local vendors continually combing the beach to sell their wares. There were beach dogs roaming and waiting for food scraps. We had cleared our day to spend a maximum amount of time at this “beach break” and we left after a couple of hours. Would not recommend.

not relaxing at all - Was horrible... The are spelled realy bad of sewer. The beach was horrible you couldnt get in the water. The food was OK, the drinks were so watered down it was like drinking kool-aid. the vendors were constantly harrassing you to buy there product. The pool was dirty.

Travelers Beware - Too Expensive For What You Get - Traveler Beware: 1.) GETTING THERE: None of the taxi drivers wanted to pick up the fare to get to this location because it is included in the price of the excursion. We waited 15-20 minutes for the guy arranging taxis to get us a ride. Also, you have to walk out of the main port taxi area to get a taxi, no one inside the gate will help you. 2.) ARRIVAL: They were waiting for us to arrive and had umbrellas and loungers reserved for us and had our names written on a chalk sign, this was nice. Chairs were comfortable with tables, and we had a nice shady spot. No loud music playing so it was quiet. 3.) FIRST IMPRESSION: We arrived at the Beach Club, and I use that term loosely. It says that it's a beach club, but honestly, it's a restaurant, that has beach access. There is a tiny pool outside the restaurant, but we did not get in it. You walk across a cement back street to get to the beach area. For the price point of this excursion, and the Beach Club name, I guess I was expecting a better experience. I should have done more research. 3.) SERVICE/FOOD: The service was not great; the girls were nice enough but rarely did anyone come to see if we needed anything; we kept having to flag a waitress down from across the cement street to get a refill or order food. We only saw two other couples on the beach area the whole time we were there; service should have been a 10. The food was okay - the shrimp cocktail came out basically in a glass bowl of ketchup. It was not ideal. Beware of drinking anything that has ice because I am not certain that the water is filtered. I tried to get someone to clarify this for me, but they acted like they didn't know what I was saying. 4.) BEACH: The beach area is decent because they have a fence up that keeps the seaweed from getting to the beach. It hinders your view, but the seaweed is unbearable and stinks so bad, so that's the price you pay at this port. The water is clear but because of the fence you only get waste deep. The fence keeps most of the wildlife out, so you basically just have green water. No shells to find, but the sand is nice and soft. I didn't even need swim shoes. 5.) VENDORS: There is nothing to stop the street vendors from selling their goods in this area, it's a public beach. We had no less than 50 people come by nonstop trying to sell us stuff. (Men, women, and even little, small kids). It makes it hard to relax when someone is constantly coming up to you. Even stray dogs. Did not feel comfortable leaving our belongings at the chair because of all the outside foot traffic on the beach. 6.) RETURNING TO SHIP: When we were ready to leave there was a taxi waiting to take us back, so that was reassuring. The drive is about 20 minutes from the port; give yourself plenty of time to get back. I've been to Costa Maya a few times. I thought this place would be better than others based on the price. I was very disappointed in our experience, and I will not return to this location.

Don't Do It!! - This was the worst excursion I have ever experienced. The beach was dirty, the water and the sand. Swimming pool was the size of a hot tub and only one, with kids splashing. The drink was so weak you could see through it, Bloody Mary. After waiting 30 minutes for 2 lobster I was told it would be 20 more minutes. The peddlers were like vultures continually swarming. The massage tables were out in the sun. After paying $240 we still left after 40 minutes. Requested a refund and "Cheryl" said she would "see". Absolutely disgraceful.
