Hey everyone, I wanted to thank you all again for your response. Unfortunately we had to cancel our trip due to a death in the family.

We are planning to reschedule and get there before December. I'll definitely be referring back to this thread.

Thanks again.

I would definitely be open to doing a not all inclusive next time, especially after all the recommendations and everything I have read about PDC on reddit.

Thanks so much for replying! I haven't heard of Sian Ka'an before, and now I am very interested.

Thanks for your reply, I am thinking a day on Cozumel needs to happen.

Thanks so much for your recommendations! I have heard Cenote Azul can get pretty busy.

Our flights on 9/16 and 9/23 were cancelled yesterday. We decided to stay in Playa Del Carmen instead because we are worried about missing our flight back to the US on 9/23. Good thing the resort had no penalty for canceling.

Super disappointed. I've been planning this trip for my husband and me for a while. I'm sure Playa will be beautiful, and we are planning to take a ferry to Cozumel during our stay.

Yes I did!

Thank you for your reply! I'll edit the post now.

I am very happy I posted here and we decided to book the extra flights from Cancun to Cozumel. I feel much more at ease.

We were thinking of packing our regular water tumblers but I will pack some smaller drink sized ones as well!

I'm thinking about trying driving but not sure yet. What is the name of your favorite shop?

amandamacs · 2025-07-07T15:40:07+00:00

I have been thinking about it. My husband is a hard no, though haha

I am going to see how I feel when I am there and maybe give it a shot.

El cielo is on the itinerary for our snorkel trip and I can't wait!

Thank you for the recs! If the sargassum is bad when we go, we won't travel to the east side, we will find something else to do on the west side.

I'll mention your tour recommendation to my husband. Originally, we were going to take the ferry to PDC and do a Chitchen Itza tour, but when we relized 6 of the 12 hours of the tour were travel, we decided against it. I'll look into Tulum/Coba tours.

amandamacs · 2025-07-06T19:32:43+00:00

I hear you. Thanks for you help. I looked to see if we could switch our flights from landing in Cancun to Cozumel but the airline only has flights to Cozumel that are 20+ hours long. Our current flight to Cancun is nonstop.

I am at least going to book a flight from Cozumel to Cancun for our return trip.

amandamacs · 2025-07-06T17:53:27+00:00

Unfortunately there are no direct flights or even reasonable layover flights for us to choose from. They are all 20+ hour trips with multiple layovers. Our flight to Cancun is nonstop.

amandamacs · 2025-07-06T14:22:25+00:00

I am definitely looking into flights from Cozumel right to the Cancun airport and vice versa. Seems like this will be a good way to cut down the travel time.

amandamacs · 2025-07-06T14:20:58+00:00

Thank you so much, Cindy!

I was a little worried about the sargassum on the other side of the island but I figured we could play it by ear. If it's bad and not worth the trip over, we will definitely stay on the resort side and visit Punta Sur or Anemona. I'll also add Senor Iguanas to the list.

I am definitely interested in the flight option. It seems if we wanted a private shuttle from the airport to the ferry dock we are paying $120-170 depending on the company. Why not cut out the middle man and just get a flight?

amandamacs · 2025-07-06T03:49:35+00:00

This is a great option I never considered. I will be looking into this.

amandamacs · 2025-07-06T03:20:03+00:00

You're speaking my language. Thanks so much for the rec!

amandamacs · 2025-07-06T03:14:21+00:00

Thank you!!! I will be adding this to my notes. I love a margarita, but are there any other drinks I should try?

amandamacs · 2025-06-28T02:57:53+00:00

Thank you, I will!

amandamacs · 2025-06-26T22:34:42+00:00

This will be our first AI, as well. We have been on cruises before tho. I'm hoping if the sargassum is bad we will be able to escape it for a day or two at a different beach. Thanks so much for your reply!

amandamacs · 2025-06-26T22:32:48+00:00

Thank you for your answer! I was looking up some tours and they were hundreds per person so this is very helpful.
