    Mr. Sanchos is a great place to eat, drink, and get your toes in the sand. We've spent several…read morecruise visits here. It's a quick $20 cab ride and check in is quick. This week Hilario took great care of us and took time to talk to us. Every visit has been great and each time the attendants were exceptional. We will be back for sure!

    We visited Mr. Sancho's Beach Club in Cozumel during a cruise stop and had a fantastic experience…read more The beach club is about a 15-20 minute taxi ride from the cruise port where the ships dock. When we got off the ship there was a line of taxis ready to go and the ride cost $20 for two people one way. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and guided us to the front desk where we checked in for our reservation. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time because it definitely helps expedite your entrance. One thing worth noting is that when we booked online it didn't show cabanas available, but when we arrived the host checked and was able to get us into one. I highly recommend getting a cabana if one is available because it gives you a nice private area to relax. That said, there are also plenty of tables with covered umbrellas that provide shade from the sun. What really stood out about this place was the level of service. It was incredibly attentive. I honestly don't think we ever waited more than a few minutes before someone came by asking if we needed another drink or more food. Our servers were Juan and Pops/Eric and both of them were fantastic. It felt like every time I turned my head one of them was checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They offer all-inclusive food and you can either go up to the buffet or order directly from the menu and have it delivered to your table or cabana. The property also has multiple pools, massage services, swim-up areas, and gift shops around the resort. At one point what appeared to be a manager came by and asked how we heard about the place and checked in on how our experience was going. That really reinforced how focused they are on service. The location is right on the beach so you get beautiful ocean views while enjoying unlimited food and drinks throughout the day. Overall Mr. Sancho's delivers a great beach day experience with excellent service and it's definitely a place I would visit again when returning to Cozumel.

    Never ate at the El Mexicano, just because I thought why go there and just get tacos, right? Wrong…read more Way wrong..... We walked up to the restaurant when heading back to our room to have one large group being escorted in for dinner, so we asked the Headwaiter Nathander if there was any availability, since we didn't make reservations. He was kind enough to get us in after about 10 - 15 minutes, which is really good for not making a reservation. We were seated at a comfortable quiet table. Leonardo was our waiter who took care of us, and was on top of everything. We chose the items from the online menu - I had the Mar Y Pollo, which was a plate of divine chicken, shrimp and rice. It looked like a small portion initially, but I polished it off and was full. My son had some huge bowl of corn, steak and vegetable and boasted how good it was. All in all a very good dining experience. Very good food and very good service. We would eat here again on our next visit to Fiesta Americana!

    Another stop for the week at a restaurant located in the Fiesta Americana all inclusive. This is a…read morelovely authentic Mexican restaurant upstairs with an outdoor patio. It's low key and like all the others, dress is casual. I ordered the salmon and avocado salad to start. It was very minimal and very tasty. Everything on the plate was chilled-including the batter fried avocado. The salmon was moist and it was a perfect size for a starter. For dinner I ordered the chicken with poblano mole sauce. Omg. It was delish!! The mole had just the right amount of spice and was not too rich or heavy. It was accompanied by a small side of rice and some veggies. Dessert was awesome. I had the Mexican chocolate mousse. It had a few bits of blue cheese in it-an odd combo that worked well. It was topped with a dice of fig and a raspberry. I walked away from dinner happy and not overstuffed!

    We arrived around 11 a.m. and were greeted by staff who immediately asked if we had reservations…read more When we told them we didn't, they informed us that we would be charged $20 per person--including children--to use the chairs and showers unless we ordered both food and drinks for each person. Their tone came across as aggressive and somewhat rude, which was surprising, but we assured them it wasn't an issue since we planned to order food and drinks anyway. Still, their approach left a sour first impression. This used to be our favorite spot 12 years ago when it was open to the public and free to enter. Back then, ordering food and drinks was optional, but the place has since changed under the ownership of Landmark Corp. Public access is no longer allowed without meeting their requirements or paying a fee. There are a few important things to note: sunscreen is not allowed, and there is no lifeguard on duty, so swimming and snorkeling are entirely at your own risk. The menu now caters primarily to tourists, featuring westernized dishes with a touch of Mexican cuisine. Prices are similar to what you'd find in the U.S., which is expected for a tourist destination. Cruise ships frequently drop off passengers here, so lounge chairs tend to fill up quickly until they leave. Additionally, paying by credit card incurs a transaction fee, so using pesos is the better option. If I hadn't come with my kids--and if visiting the Money Bar wasn't the main reason for our trip to Cozumel--I might have walked away. This place holds so many special memories from when we were single and used to travel to Mexico often, but the changes have made it feel far less welcoming than it once was.

    Came here to access the beach. Minimum requirement to spend a food and a drink per person to use…read moretheir amenities and to use the beach, kinda ripoff policy but this is what you get most of the places around Cancun, Tulum, and Cozumel. Kinda figure out if you cannot beat the system then go along with it. The food and service is alright at this place. There are some waves and current at the beach, kinda have to put some effort to swim and to snorkle in here. I would say this isnt the best place to enjoy the beach. If you go down more to the south you may find better beach, say Playa Palancar ; ) So, next time skip this place and go down more south ; )
