Freddy picked us up at the port and took us everywhere we wanted to go. There were 6 in my family and he brought a large van with lots of room for our gear. My husband and I have been to the island many times but we wanted to show our kids everywhere we love to go. Freddy felt like part of our family. He was extremely helpful and was great to talk to about his family and the history of the island.
Next time we cruise to Cozumel, we will definitely call Freddy! Excursion: Cozumel Private Island Tour with Driver View more reviews Write a Review

We did a Carnival shore excursion to Tulum Mayan Ruins a couple of years ago and decided to try the ones on Cozumel this time. San Gervasio was nice, but just ok compared to the ones at Tulum. They were smaller and more scattered. I guess it is a great way to see ruins during a short time in Cozumel. Mr. Sanchos was nice, very nice. We loved it and booked the driver for an extra hour. We enjoyed our time.Excursion: Private San Gervasio Mayan Ruins and Beach Club Excursion View more reviews Write a Review
Management Response: Hello Sleepys,
Yes, the San Gervasio ruins here in Cozumel are much smaller in size than many sites on the mainland. But I am sure you learned, they had an enormous place in the Mayan civilization. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at Mr. Sanchos! Having a private driver and guide really does make an excursion special.
Thank you,

My children were pushing me to do this tour. We ordered a couple of tours from Shore Excursioneer for our last cruise so we were able to save money with their multiple excursion discounts!! Saving money is always a good thing.
The submarine staff ran things very well and we were able to see quite abit of sea life. It was really interesting to learn why everything was such a strange color or rather lack of color underwater. It changed when they shone the light on the reef! We had a good time but there was one guest who got seasick so I recommend you take Dramamine before you go just in case.Excursion: Atlantis Submarine Adventure Excursion View more reviews Write a Review
Management Response: Hello Ray,
We really appreciate you taking the time to post your review and comments about the Atlantis Submarine Excursion here in Cozumel. It is an excursion that not only adults but as you said, children also enjoy. Your recommendation about Dramamine is a good one for those who are susceptible to seasickness.
Thank you,

I had wanted to try this tour since I saw it advertised on the Royal Caribbean tour page. I did some research and found it offered at a fraction of the price the ship listed it for (and it is the same outifit!!). It was so easy to find the meeting point and they were ready for us...no waiting around. The guides gave us a briefing - there were 8 of us doing the tour. They showed us the helmet and explained everything. Then we went to the edge of the water and one at a time stepped down the ladder. Just as we were about to go under they rested the helmet on our shoulders but held on to it. It is the pressure of the air coming into the helmet that keeps the water out of the helmet. When we were all below, we walked around on the bottom of the sea! Or rather bounced like on the moon. We saw alot of fish and got some great photos. I think this is not a good tour if you are claustrophobic though :)Excursion: Cozumel Sea Trek Blue Water Helmet Diving Excursion View more reviews Write a Review

Jet skiing at Mr. Sanchos was great. I have never seen such pretty water. My boyfriend wanted to get one for half an hour and the price was the same for 1 or 2 of us. We also had the Mr. Sanchos All Inclusive that I had heard so much about. Nice tour!Excursion: Jet Ski at Mr. Sanchos Beach Club View more reviews Write a Review

My friend and I have wanted to try this but there is no water where we are from. We loved it! It was kinda tricky getting your balance at the beginning but after a few minutes, it was much easier. We were paddling around and having a blast. The instructor was very patient. The big surprize was that after the SUP, we got to stay at Mr. Sanchos and use the facilities! We purchased a some beer and nachos and lounged by the pool. Fun day in Cozumel!Excursion: Cozumel Stand Up Paddle Board Lesson at Mr. Sanchos View more reviews Write a Review

There were not very many people which was great. My younger child had more fun than my teenager. The food was good and the drinks were good too. I was a little nervous about catching a taxi back to the pier but there were several waiting when we were leaving. It was a relaxing day :)Excursion: Allegro Resort Cozumel Beach Day Pass View more reviews Write a Review

6 of us booked the mini sub excursion and we were very happy that everybody was on the same trip. Rafael and Marcos made sure that we felt comfortable in the subs and they also had divers with us at all times so we could focus on having fun. The machines were easy to drive and it was nice to dive with the head staying dry. Next time we will have a camera with us!Excursion: Cozumel Mini Submarine Under Water Scooter Excursion View more reviews Write a Review
