Puerto Costa Maya
Mexico's newest port, Puerto Costa Maya, is the first port on
Mexico's Caribbean Coast to have been built exclusively for cruise
ships and cruise holiday visitors. Situated on the Yucatan
Peninsula near the fishing village of Majahual, Puerto Costa Maya
is the fastest growing cruise port in the Caribbean that consists
of three grand pavilions in the style of ancient Maya.
The commercial, cultural and entertainment centre offers dining,
shopping and recreational facilities, a swimming pool and swim-up
bar, local performances in the amphitheatre, as well as art and
craft galleries showcasing the region's local artists and their art
- a lot to enjoy on holiday. The infrastructure has been carefully
designed to meet the special needs of cruise ship passengers.
Beyond the pavilions, Costa Maya provides access to undeveloped
areas of coastline, colourful reefs and shipwrecks for diving and
snorkelling, and exploration of ancient Mayan sites.
Puerto Costa Maya tour operators offer dune buggy tours, Mayan
sites like Kohunlich and Dzibanche, and kayak adventures. Free
shuttles transport passengers regularly between the pier complex
and their ships.
Information & Facts
Language
Spanish is the official language in Mexico. Some English
is spoken in tourist regions.
Money
Mexican currency is the New Peso (MXN) divided into 100
centavos. Credit cards are widely accepted, particularly Visa,
MasterCard and American Express. Travellers cheques are generally
accepted, but cannot be cashed on Sundays. ATMs are available in
most cities and towns and are the most convenient way to get money,
but for safety reasons they should only be used during business
hours. Although most businesses will accept foreign currency it is
best to use pesos. Foreign currency can be exchanged at one of many
casas de cambio(exchange houses), which have longer hours
and offer a quicker service than the banks.
