Creator's Key Takeaways

If you are looking for an American tourist experience in Mexico, Cosmemell just may be your place.

The shop area, it's definitely uh shops owned by the cruise lines, I would say. You know, so your basic uh not made in Mexico stuff.

But we would challenge you to come to Kosamel for more than drinking and shopping. Come to Kosamel for the nature, the culture, and the beauty outside of the port.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Make sure you're not bringing fruits and vegetables off the boat as they will check your backpack.

✓Be mindful of heavy traffic when planning excursions to ensure you return before departure.

✓If you want to avoid the touristy port area, you will need to walk or take transport into the actual city center.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting lost in the port — Find out exactly which port you are docking at beforehand and use landmarks like the 7-Eleven or duty-free shops.

Walking distance — It is a long walk from the ship to the town; you can hire bicycle-driven tricycles/rickshaws to assist.
