Spending the day at Nacional Beach Club in Costa Maya and I'm still thinking about it…read more From the moment we arrived it felt a little VIP. We had booked our tickets ahead of time and transportation was included, which made everything super easy. When we pulled up they walked us straight to our private palapa... and it literally had our name on it. I'm not kidding. Such a fun touch. The whole vibe here is exactly what you want for a beach day: relaxed, not overcrowded, and really great service. No chaos, no fighting for chairs, just comfy loungers, beautiful beach views, and staff who are constantly checking on you. Food and drinks were honestly really good too (which isn't always the case with beach clubs). We spent the day doing the perfect routine: swim, grab a drink, eat, relax, repeat. Out of all the beach days I've done at cruise ports, this one easily stands out. It feels a little like a hidden gem -- more elevated but still super laid back. If your cruise stops in Costa Maya, I'd absolutely recommend spending the day here. It ended up being one of our favorite port days.

My boyfriend and I arrived for dinner without reservations but got there right when they opened and were seated immediately. Our waiter was fantastic. He explained how the restaurant works, offered us a tour, and walked us through the menu with thoughtful, spot-on recommendations. We were brought complimentary chips and salsa, and since we were told our entrées would take 45 minutes to an hour in the wood-fired oven, we started with the ceviche de maracuyá. So worth it. For our mains, my boyfriend ordered the steak and I got the lobster. Both were excellent, but the lobster... wow. I'm from the Bahamas and grew up eating great lobster, and I can honestly say this was the best lobster of my life. Something about the seasoning and the wood-fire cooking made it unbelievably rich and decadent. I haven't stopped thinking about it since. By the time we were finishing our meal, the restaurant had filled up, but it never felt too loud or chaotic. The space felt intimate, with dim lighting, planets scattered throughout the decor, and perfectly spaced tables that made the whole experience feel special. Out of all the places we ate in Bacalar, this was hands down the best, and the one we still talk about.

Our appetizers were 3 raw mushrooms artfully presented with a mish mosh of flavors, and a plate of regular guacamole. The filet mignon was average.
