“Went to KUZÁ to try the new beach. The beach was very nice with exception beach has a lot of rocks and shells in the water so I would suggest to bring water shoes. The food was fantastic. Now the drinks on the other hand were not very good. Beers were good they couldnt mess that up but the drinks tasted bad the strawberry daiquiri tasted like an orange drink just all the drinks for we’re off in the taste. I don’t know they could improve that. But the beach was big and plenty of chairs for everyone. I would give it a Five Star, but they need to improve…”

Spend about eight hours at KUZÁ Beach & Adventure Park, making tortillas, guacamole, and tacos al pastor in a shaded palapa before enjoying the private beach, buffet, standard open bar, music, and games. Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling, spa services, and VIP access cost extra.

“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”

Free t-shirts were not our size,, one looked to be a child size. We did get a few small shots of tequila at the first stop but not without being pressure to buy bottles. I did enjoy the information about how this tequila s made..the other stops were at beach bars that were over crowded, free small shots, anything else you pay out of pocket and of course you’re going to want more.…”

“Nice when getting on Catamaran, couldn't find the check in place...there were MANY blue signs. Also Viator needs to make sure the wording says it was a deposit when the reservation was made, I am not sure if I paid twice...If I was told that or read that info, it needs to be more prominent on the receipt. Loved the boat, people drinks, loved the beach bar, didn't care for the snorkel spot as there were hardy any fish and no turtles.”

14.Private Tacos and Bar Hopping Tour in Cozumel

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $125

Spend about five hours exploring Cozumel with JC or another Leon Tours guide. You’ll sample two local tacos, stop at beach bars, visit Chen Rio and San Martin Beach, and ride in a private vehicle stocked with drinks. The flexible route suits cruise passengers who want local food and the island’s wilder east coast.

“When originally booked, I thought it was going to be another tour guide with a script, large group, and rushed activities. Exact opposite. JC was our guide and off the bat he came off as easy going, go with the flow, and determined to make sure we have the best experience in Cozumel possible. The tour was just me and my girlfriend the whole time and JC never once rushed us- if it was getting close to the time of needing to move on, JC would simply let us know and if we wanted to stay longer that we could, it might just cut into the next spot. But again,…”
