What Time Is It In Costa Maya

Arriving to Costa Maya on a cruise

Currently you can only arrive to Costa Maya by sea or by land.

If you’re arriving by sea, most likely it’ll be on a cruise ship and you’ll spend only a few hours at this beautiful destination. In this case your cruise will dock at the Costa Maya Port. Disembarking process in Costa Maya is easy and fast, delays can happen some times but only when there’s more than one ship arriving at the exact same time.

The port isn’t the most representative place of Costa Maya but it’s where you can find most shops and services for tourists. It has a nice pool, restaurants and bars but these are exclusively for tourists arriving on a cruise ship, land visitors aren’t allowed to enter the port.

The port compound is designed to keep tourists inside so they consume the port services. If you’ve planned any activities with any local company you’ll have to leave the port to find your service provider.
