First of all, the resort's employees were all terrific. They are doing the best they can with the hand that was dealt them. I don't want to insult any chains for comparison purposes, so let me just say that we knew it wasn't going to be 4 or 5 star, but we thought it would be more than a 1-1/2.... more

We stayed at Costa Maya the Week of June 28-July 5, 2008. After a long day to get there, we were greated at the airport by the staff and taking to the dock.

However, when we arrived we were both pleasantly surprised to find a hidden gem in the north. The grounds were well kept and all staff were... more

We stayed at Costa Maya last year and we were not impressed This year was totally different. It was much more organized and the atmosphere was more relaxed. Costa Maya is the perfect... more
