Creator's Key Takeaways

this is our first coasta Maya Port day that we did not enjoy

we just wanted to have a drink and enjoy the view there with the ships and the water and it just felt nice and um no they wouldn't let us

Alara was a big thumbs down for us

it was a really short day there

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid visiting Costa Maya on days with multiple ships in port to prevent overcrowding
Check restaurant policies before sitting down, as some require food orders with drinks
Consider alternative dining options near the port if primary choices are crowded or unwelcoming
Use the tram for the long pier walk, as it saves energy for the return trip
