This city is located on the Yucatan peninsula 150 miles south of Cancun. The main crop was sap used in chewing gum until substitutes were developed in 1950’s, when mahogany and cedar became exports. Tourism is the main economy.
Linda, Jerry, Ches and I took a taxi to Costa Maya, which is 3 miles from the ship and cost $2 each person each way. We went past a lot of storm damage with uprooted trees and buildings. There were massage tables set up along the walkway and we were offered massages for $20 for 30 minutes.
The town is about 1 mile long with a nice wide brick walkway. We watched them re-thatching a roof.
The beach was nice with beautiful white sand and turquoise colored water.
Linda and Jerry stayed and enjoyed the beach and had massages for $10 each for 30 minutes. Ches and I went back and met Dot and Floyd and looked at the shops along by the ship.
There was a huge pool with a swim up bar.
