Costa Maya Tropicante on Mahahual Beach - Carnival Vista Vlog

- We had such an amazing day in Costa Maya, Mexico at Tropicante. This place was incredible and very inexpensive! We made a reservation online and once there we only had to but food and drinks, which we would have done anyway, and we had full beach access all day! And the beach is great! Cool breeze and beautiful views. Not the best for snorkeling unless you went pretty far out, but once you did, there was a lot of wildlife. We had the most amazing day here!!

Now THAT'S service. That is really awesome. He came out to the water :-) lol
I too love the shade of a palm tree. I can't do full on sun for too long
Alisa, I agree with EVERYONE about how cute your family is and how awesome your vlogs are. However, I just need to tell you how much I love the pedi you have. Carnival's colors painted on your toes, that is absolutely FANTASTIC. I can't believe nobody caught that or mentioned it. You rock girl. Much love to you and your family and especially to Ethan for giving his all for our country.

Has anyone been here recently? Man! This is real tempting!
i mean the moment that man brung out the table and chairs i wouldve been like YUP HUGE TIP FOR YOU!!! Coming into the water? Even bigger tip ... now that is service!!!!
Oh yeah, we took good care of him!!
Nothing says nails on a chalkboard like saying "brung"....
@@rnladyn906 yikes, imagine caring this much to even say something like that. BRUNG is in the dictionary, it may not the proper grammar but you understood my comment 100% thanks for stopping by.
@@jujubeesx3 😘
Love that u can chill on the beach and order food and eat in the beach.
Jason cracks me up with how stoked he is to be drinking a cold beer on the beach with his family around him.
I can just see all the vendors getting together in the back and telling each other "WE GOT AN EASY ONE!" and pointing toward Jason. ;-)
He was really enjoying shopping from his beach chair!
@@EECCTravels It looked like heaven.
Waiter of the year 🇲🇽 🍻
You guys are a hoot!
So glad I found y’all 😎
Just a few notes on what Jason was saying about the seaweed. This year the new Mexican government did not budget maintenance and cleaning of beaches. In the Caribbean region this seaweed that protects marine life got out of control and because it wasn’t cleaned properly it just accumulated as trash in the beach. What you guys saw was just the beginning of this problem because it got way worse right before summer and it made national news in Mexico. It was a big issue that affected tourism in the region and I am very glad you guys saw past it. I hope next year the government in my country learns from this mistake and understands they need to include in the budget some money to clean our wonderful beaches to invite great tourists like you guys.
Laura MiPe I read that the seaweed problem in The Caribbean is somewhat baffling scientists. They think it’s a combination of waters coming off the west coast of Africa mixing with water from the Amazon River. It’s combination creates a perfect medium for the seaweed to floriferate. It started in 2010. Some years it’s severe like 2018 and now 2019. We were at Maya Chan in Costa Maya last week and it was terrible. They had nets up and people raking the beach but to no avail. I don’t know what the government can really do to fight Mother Nature 😬. I’m sure it will hurt tourism to the east side beaches. When we got to Cozumel we made sure we went to unaffected beaches on the north west side. Snorkeling was fine at Playa Azul.
your boys are too funny and adorable, Cameron reminds me of my son, very affectionate!
Loved Costa Maya, and that gorgeous church across from the beach area in town! Can’t wait to go back.
Brilliant family.... I am a new subscriber...and I have been giggling at your family funny moments... and it reminds me of my family... too funny 😂
I just made reservations via email with Steve for our visit to Costa Maya in a week and a half on RCCL Enchantment of the Seas :) Thanks so much for the tip!!! I was researching beach clubs to go in Costa Maya! This looks perfect for us!
Beautiful love it when the waiter comes out into the water to ask if Jason wants more beer .. haha Jason's like yeah sure !! Huge tip deserved indeed !! love it .. you all look like you had a blast ! we will be heading there when we cruise with carnival for sure ..... also love the glasses Jason breaks his glasses and the glasses sales man comes with some hey you wanna buy some sunglasses ? perfect timing ....
You can always count on Jason to gives us all a good laugh! Alot a good information, thanks for sharing
To get the sand off your feet take a container of talcum powder to the beach. It works like a charm and saves your towels. You seem to have a had a wonderful day. enjoyed sharing that experience with you. Happy Cruising
What a fun family and y'all had such a lovely day at a beautiful beach
You all are so perfect. I admire this vlog a lot. Decent place, reasonable costs, overall wonderful for families :)
Wow what a great beach
I'm a long time viewer but first commenter! My husband and I are going on our first cruise together( I've been on one other in May with royal Caribbean ) and your videos are extremely helpful! Thank you so much!
Nothing wrong with being crazy cool, rock it
WOW! GREAT JOB!
Love your videos. Can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks for the link for the anti sand towel!👍🏾
Good times! Great service at the beach!! ❤️🚢
Loves this video, sweet family having a sweet time. Prices are great there and the service😳, 5star!!!
What a blast you guys had! Great family time!! Thanks for sharing :)
My family and I will be heading to Costa Maya in March on our cruise I can’t wait we might just hit up that place looks beautiful
I'm with Jason, that waiter deserves a great tip. Awesome!!!
This looks like it was such a great experience and day!!!
The food prices seem pretty high to me, but the drinks aren't bad. I went there once, it was cram packed, super hot and I was alone because my cabin mate was on the ship sick and I was miserable. I could see how it 'could' have been fun, but didn't work for me that particular day. I left after an hour. So glad you guys enjoyed it.
ok, i take that back, for what you got $10 per plate isn't bad, but a lot of stuff i saw on the menu was $15 and up. HIGHLY recommend those sport towels, been using them for years and people try to tell me I don't need to take my own towel. But those are SO much better than those big heavy-when-wet cruise ship towels !! I have 2! They are sand free, dry and ready to use again in a few hours
That looks truly like a day in Paradise! Really enjoyed this vlog. Cheers!
Jason is such a good guy❤️❤️ awesome video guys
Looks amazing and what service 😊 Ohh sitting here in NY wishing I was there too lol
Nice memories your having with your family. Have a great day❤
We absolutely LOVED hanging out at the Tropicante when we went in March! We had a very short port day, so unfortunately we only got to hang out for 2-3 hours.
I enjoyed this video!!!!
Nice vlog yall thank you we are going to Costa Maya in March 2020 cant wait
Beautiful scenery I just want to jump into your video and relax with you
I think the beach and ocean there is beautiful. I looked to buy a small hotel there back in the 1990s. Definitely nothing like it is now.
What awesome service!!
Great video!!!!!
Yes! Our waiter walked into the water to bring us our drinks at Mr. Sanchos in Cozumel. He was the best! If Abel is still there request him!!
Great vlog my cruise coming up in 3weeks
Great Vlog
oh my gosh your family is soo cute reminds me of mine in soo many ways even im studying to be a travel agent as well and my husband does like anyone and hates watching cruise videos on "the youtube" but he smiles when he see thor (Jason) lol as he calls him... hope to see you guys on the a group cruise
Love y'alls videos hope I can see y'all on a cruise
What a fun video. I was just looking at the t shirts and i didn't seeder any v neck ones. Do you just not have then our it's a special order. Cause i want one.. Lovin
This series
that food looks good
Where did you get your snorkeling masks we are going to Costa Maya in April next year as a retirement present! We are so amazed by your wonderful videos
We got them on Amazon! Unigear full face snorkel masks!
Hey, you should try Maya Chan Beach the next time. It's an all-inclusive private beach inclusing round trip transportation.
The waiter coming out into the water! That's service! LOL
No doubt man!
Is there a way to get a list of movies playing on your carnival cruise in advance of getting on your cruise?
Jason, you need to pickup some Del Sol sunglasses, they have a lifetime warranty for breakage or loss as long as you do not lose the guarantee certificate information. We love them and have 2 pair at all times. We have lost them often and they are replaced for the cost of shipping only
We will have to look into these
Love Costa maya :)
Jason was living Olaf’s dream the snowman wanted a day on the beach lol.
My husband had the same beard leakage with a regular mask. I want to try those masks just for the fact I don’t have to hold my GoPro
Did Jason eat any of the food? It looked great on the beach.
We would love to cruise with y'all we live just outside New Orleans
Come with us on the group cruise!
Yay..
The waiter coming into the waters....Omg, that's hilarious!!!
That was awesome!!
Always a great informative video with y'all. Does Jason still have his band?
Yes he does! Band name is Raven Camp.
I hear they are closed now is that true ?
Going to Costa Maya next month but the link above doesn't work is there another link or way to contact them. It seems like you made a reservation in advance??? I thought I heard you say the beach and chairs were free so long as you buy some food or drink from them. Do you need a reservation? How were the "vendors" coming by. Was it as bad as everyone says Mahahual beach is?
Your ordering tacos under a palm tree on the beach😍😍😍
Do they have actual hotels and a airport that near that location... or is it just for cruise ships? BTW great video you all looked as if it was a wonderful day
yes you can fly in and stay at a hotel
Hi where is the link for this adventure?😀
What size did u get snorkel mask
Awww, I love your family! Lots of love there ❤ How tall are you, Alisa? I'm only 5-ft., lol. My boys tower over me.
5’3” and the boys are all so tall now!
When is the group cruise?
Have you ever been on the Carnival Splendor?
How long was the taxi ride? Nice vid!
About 15-20 minutes
The link to where the beaches does not work says it can't be found
Try it now, I added it again
That works thank you
Omg..my glasses broke when they fell out of the locker at the water park at Costa Maya!!! Bought a pair of fauxoakleys at the port for $20!!
When was this? We were just there the 11th...it was dirty, smelly, with nets up everywhere....edited to say I see it was published today...were you there today or very recent?
We were there in April
@@EECCTravels ok that makes sense. It looked beautiful when you went!!
my friend loves a good margarita
Do you wear flip flops then change I go the water shoes?
No we will wear the water shoes all day.
Such nice young men you have there! That’s good parenting for sure!
What do they charge for the beach chairs?...I don't see that on their website.
Nope! You buy food or drinks and the beach access with loungers is included!
The leaking can be caused by facial hair! Love the vids my first time will be in 33 days!
Yep we figured out it was his beard.
I noticed the boy are eating chips with the braces! How long did it take them to be able to eat regular?! I’ve had mine 3 days and still on soft foods 😩
This was about two weeks after the braces went on. Hang in there!!
Alisa, what brand of snorkel gear do your boys prefer? I need to order some for our cruise.
So funny you should ask! I just posted our review video on the Unigear snorkel masks. They are fantastic!
@@EECCTravels Thank you!
What is the purpose of the fences in the water?
Nvm I saw them tell us later
My wife and I cruised to Costa Maya this last April on the NCL Sun, and we went to a place called Maya Chan costamayabeachresort.com/. It was Fabulous!...all inclusive drinks...chips & salsa...and authentic Mayan/Mexican meal. AND our waiters waded out to deliver and replenish our refreshments as well. I definitely recommend it to y'all for your next visit to Costa Maya. Only thing, there are no beach vendors, so Jason won't be able to shop for merchandise from his beach lounger. Same problem with seaweed at the time, but they did a great job cleaning it up regularly. BTW, I always LOVE your videos, and we frequently find wonderful tips for our cruise vacations from your vlogs. Y'all are super authentic...which is quite refreshing...even down to Jason's bit of an F-bomb slip...AND the fact that he caught himself in the middle was quite precious.
Just FYI, tortilla chips are not technically "authentic" Mexican cuisine, as they were invented at a tortilleria in Southwest Los Angeles in the 1940s, and popularized in the U.S. long before making their way back to Mexico proper. So it's actually an American export. :-)
Very interesting!
Actually that's not correct. Tortillas have been around forever. You're confusing them with Nachos. They were created in a bar when a bunch of celebrity guests had showed up after the kitchen had closed. The manager took tortillas, broke them up and put toppings on them. It's still a great story.
Google Maps gives me the idea that it would be a 40 minute walk from the cruise port to Tropicante. Is there anything that gave you the impression it is not safe to walk there? Or should I ask Steve from Tropicante when I email him?
Take a taxi.
$8 a person for the taxi?
Just wondering what camera do you use
Canon G7x power shot Mark 2
Is this place still open?
Unfortunately I don’t think they survived Covid.
Did you rent a car to get around? Thanks in advance.
No we took a taxi
My husband has the same problem with snorkel masks and his facial hair.
When is group cruise
January 26th on the NCL Getaway. Let me know if you want more info. alisa@eecctravels.com
Leave it to me to see that Desserts was misspelled on the menu. Lol
Did you notice Deserts on menu..lol
My wife and I went to Maramao when we went to Cost Maya in February. It's a restaurant not far from where you guys were that didn't cost a penny for us to spend the day at their beach. Only cost us food and drinks which we were going to spend anyway. Pro Tip: when you go to Costa Maya and want to venture out from the crowded port area, do not reserve and pay for one of those packages to spend a day at the beach. Go to Tropicante or Maramao. There are other restaurants that provide free beach access so don't pay for it.

jesus are your kids dipping fish into ketchup? LMAO
I always have to put vaseline on my beard to keep it from leaking.
Oh great tip!
Jason was living Olaf’s dream the snowman wanted a day on the beach lol.
