Isla Mujeres Sailing Adventure from Riviera Maya

We were told we would be picked up at our hotel and no one showed up. When we called they said they had us down for another day. We already had our week planned so we couldn’t go another day. We ended up taking a cab to Cancun which they said they would pay for when we got to the marina. When we checked In they said we would have to get with the company to get reimbursed the $70. The trip back to playa del Carmen was difficult as there was no air conditioning in the van. Other than the transportation the trip was pretty good.

I have been to Isla Mujeres many times, this was my least favorite visit. We had a group of 7 and were led to believe we would be on our own boat. Not the case at all. The driver was over 30 minutes late. Not bad for us, but for the poor family that was already in the van - over 1.5 hrs in the van. When we get there, there were 100's of people waiting to get on the cats. A salesman tried to up sell us to a package that we had already purchased for an additional $45 per person. Watch for this. Total scam. We missed the cat were were supposed to be on, so had to wait another 45 minutes. At least 50 people on the cat. Snorkeling was poor and only for 20 minutes with 100's of other people in the water. Then for 2 stops at Isla Mujeres. Crowded beaches, not the best. 2nd stop was lunch. Lunch buffet okay. Liked waiter. Okay beach area at 2nd stop. Tried to up sell golf cart ride to see more of island. No sailing of course. Some people may love this trip, but not for me or any of our group. Prefer more personalized experience that take you to better spots. The poor family that shared our ride there had to wait an hour for our return before we traveled back to our resort. Van that picked us up was nice enough. Would not recommend this trip.

The transport was 45 minutes late; He had stopped at the pick up point 20 minutes earlier and didn't even ask our names. When we got to the embarkation point they tried to have us pay $40 US each more to get on the same boat we had already paid. The crew on the boat was great! We would have enjoyed snorkeling longer although the reef where we snorkeled was very crowded and not a lot of fish. The luncheon at the beach club was fantastic and their staff was great! The sailing was wonderful!
