Creator's Key Takeaways

Costamaya is one of the Caribbean's most exciting cruise ports and a destination that's truly built with cruisers in mind.

The enclosed port area is designed with cruisers in mind. You walk right into a protected space without worrying about hustlers or scammers.

The flying musicians are a unique and unforgettable part of the Costa Maya experience.

Overall, I had a great time in Costa. I found the prices for food, entertainment, and transportation to be very reasonable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Plan to return at least an hour or two before your ship departs when venturing outside the port.
✓Check reviews, maps, and recent traveler tips before you go to know reliable vendors and excursion ratings.
✓Bring a dollar or two to tip the flying musicians if you plan to watch from the front.
✓Know about the second, quieter pool in the back of the port for a more relaxed experience.
