Creator's Key Takeaways

I love it. I think of all the best three, it's got the best mix of fun and relaxation, and I actually think it has the best food by far.

The last few times I've been, it's been really overcrowded. The last time I went, it was overcrowded enough to where I really noticed it and I didn't love it.

So, is Paradise Beach worth it? My honest review, my honest take, absolutely.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check how many ships will be docked in port on the day of your visit to avoid overcrowding.
Book day passes in advance as they can sell out, especially for popular beach clubs.
Bring your own beach towels from the ship, as most beach clubs do not provide them.
Ignore the long taxi stand at the terminal and walk outside to find a taxi for a quicker, albeit slightly more expensive, ride.

Overcrowding at popular beach clubsCheck the number of ships docked in port and consider booking less crowded options like Nachi Cocom or Iberostar for a more relaxed experience.
Additional costs for amenities like VIP passes for inflatablesBe aware that some activities, like using inflatables or banana boat rides, require an extra cost; plan accordingly.

YouTube Video Description

Paradise Beach has long been a favorite Cozumel all-inclusive beach club for cruisers, but is it still worth the hype in 2025? I've been many, many times and I'll share my honest take bout why this became my favorite beach club in Cozumel, but.... that opinion has started to change a bit (spoiler: it’s getting crowded). I also discuss some of the other best beach clubs in Cozumel like Mr. Sancho’s, Nachi Cocom, and Iberostar. *Grab my FREE Cozumel Port Guide* https://www.profmelissa.com/cozumel *Book Paradise Beach* https://www.viator.com/tours/Cozumel/Paradise-Beach-Cozumel-All-Inclusive-Day-Pass/d632-122218P1?aid=awinUSDEEPLINK_520849&awc=11018_1725632569_b1f4c7f964ed708542851b6b4a79f55b&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=520849&mcid=54929&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=520849&awin_plat_id=11018&awc=11018_1753188282_bdf16454dc966d473a4d3ea8b02612fc *Book Mr. Sancho’s* https://www.viator.com/tours/Cozumel/Mr-Sanchos-Beach-Club-All-Inclusive-Day-Pass/d632-14856P7?aid=awinUSDEEPLINK_520849&awc=11018_1725632678_824e0e870914463c31e063953a34a510&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=520849&mcid=54929&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=520849&awin_plat_id=11018&awc=11018_1753188380_c6ede408349ea0cd7f9f009cf71d9a2c *Book Iberostar Resort Cozumel* https://www.resortforaday.com/iberostar-resort-cozumel/?Click=96370 *Planning a cruise to Cozumel?
