This place had a lot of resorts that you have to pay to use the beach, everyone try to make money out of me from taxi to retail shop, I don’t want to go back here.

Great island off the coast of Mexico across from Playa del Carmen. It's its own little place that has a quaint and quiet vibe. Smaller resorts and more chill than Playa del Carmen. Also, less sargassum.

Took a 7day cruise to Belize, Honduras and Cozumel, Mexico in 9/27 -10/3/2010. That was my 2nd cruise. We had a blast w/party of family and 2 friends =12. Received a good discount thru cousins traveling agency. Food was awesome, buffet 24/7. Lots of things to do casino, dancing, open bar, shopping networking, excursions Only thing was some rain which causes turbulence on the ship. I'd rather do 5 day cruise like my Nassau Bahams in 2022. Waiting to go to Jamaica, Ocho Rios and Montego Bay next year!
