Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
What's great about Malacon 21 is that they limit the number of people per day to about 40.
The staff is always around. It was terrific just to have that level of attention paid to yourselves.
The food was seriously topnotch. As good as the main dining room, if not better, because it's different.
They found an extra one. So, um, I was able to purchase my own Malakon 21, even though in my head it's Marshall 21.

Looking for the best thing to do in Costa Maya on a cruise? On this visit to Costa Maya, Mexico, we discovered what might be our new favorite beach club near the cruise port — Malecon 21. Instead of staying in the busy cruise port area, we took a short $5 taxi ride down the beautiful Malecon to this hidden gem. And wow… what a difference! At Malecon 21, guest capacity is limited to around 40 people per day, which means you get a peaceful beach day, incredible service, delicious food, and stunning ocean views without the crowds. In this video we show you exactly what to expect, including: • How to get to Malecon 21 from the Costa Maya cruise port • Taxi cost and travel time • Beach club packages (we tried the Silver Package) • The incredible food (shrimp tacos & herb-crusted salmon!) • Beach massages and prices • The beautiful beach and relaxing atmosphere • Shopping and walking along the Malecon • Why the service here was some of the best we've ever experienced From the moment we arrived, the staff — including Fernando, Abraham, and Jonathan — made sure our day was perfect. They even tracked down a Diet Coke from a nearby store just to make sure we had exactly what we wanted! If you're cruising to Costa Maya, Mexico, and looking for a relaxing beach day away from the crowded port area, Malecon 21 might be the perfect choice.
