The resort is 61/2 miles north of San Pedro and reachable by boat and or a long bike ride. It is located in a beautiful setting and if you like to fish,snorkel,kayak, or relax this is the place for you. The rooms are not new but very adequate for your stay and the staff keep them clean and well supplied.... more

Water taxi everywhere, great fun. Day trips, gerat. Searious tours were great too. We could not reccomend this area highly enough. (except... more

We spent September 19 - September 26 at Costa Maya Reef and it was great. The staff, especially Rodrigo and Shannon, could not do enough for us. Anything we needed, they provided the information or found someone who could. You are on an island, so realize you will have to take a water-taxi to town. We paid $60.00/per person for... more

I fortunately read Trip Advisor before going and therefore had realistic expectations of Costa Maya. In order to go anywhere you must take the water taxi. The view from Costa Maya is fantastic; sun-rises extraordinary. And this place is nice enough but not luxurious at all. The apartments aren't quite spartan but have not had a recent refurbish in a... more

As many others have posted this resort is not as modern as others nearby but the staff more than make up for it. Probably the most friendly resort staff I have ever met on my travels. Nice restaurant and excellent location on a quiet part of the island right on the beach. I traveled with 2 young teenage girls and... more

We have stayed at the Costa Maya three times. The staff and activities are better than ever! Shannon the manager is wonderful, Reshida, Alphonso, David, Rodrigo, Juan and the others treat us more like friends than visitors. This resort is not for everyone. It is not a luxury resort in busy tourist area. You have to like the location and... more

This was the worst place I ever have gone to out of many. The male manager was rude to my wife when she asked about laundry facilities. The rooms were similar to the old beach cottages of the 1950's. Power kept going out. AC broke down. No bowls and very few kitchen necessities. Wood borer dust every morning had to... more

The location is 6 miles north of San Pedro which makes it nice and quite. The trip to town can be done by island ferry $26US round trip, bike 90 minutes thru the hot brush on a bumpy path, or a golf cart on the same path. You can get a golf cart from Mata Grande, the closest food store... more

I have nothing but great things to say about this place, After booking, I read some of the reviews posted to this site and had some apprehension. After spending last week there, however, I would return. Often if I could. The staff was wonderful. The most friendly of any place I have stayed recently. My partner's birthday fell during our... more
