CJS2766 Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 Hello all! Like many/all of you, I'm REALLY hoping cruising resumes this Summer and beyond. We are scheduled to go on Symphony in October 2021. One of the stops will be Cozumel. I've recently started looking for things to do and since my wife loves beaches, relaxing and drinks, looks like 2 good options are Nachi Cocom or Mr Sanchos. My question for those of you that have gone, do I need to make reservations ahead of time? I do realize that Nachi is a much smaller resort and tends to cap the attendance. I just had concerns about their websites might not be the most secure. Anyone here reserve online? If we get in early, can we just show up and get in? Just trying to figure which resort is better regarding amenities and should I reserve online or just show up? Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisellama Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 Based upon time of year - yes on Sanchos (that's the only one I have experience). If during a spring or holiday break period. CJS2766 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyraven Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 We booked Nachi back in '19. No issue on the finances being secure. We just put down the deposit, then paid the balance when we arrived. CJS2766 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like both, Mr Sanchos has better stuff for kids if that matters and a more lively atmosphere. If you want to pay as you go, Paradise Beach is an option.

Pooch Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 Booked Nachi on line with no issues. It’s very quiet and laid back. My understanding is Sancho’s is livelier. I’d base my choice on which experience you’re looking for. CJS2766 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many credit cards have "virtual cards". This is a one time card number that can only be used once or, once used, can be disabled without affecting your normal CC number. When I am the least bit concerned I use this feature. CJS2766 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof4crazytocruise Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 We love Nachi Cocom. I use paypal to pay the deposit - that adds a level of security. We have had no issues. The deposit is refundable up until a few days ahead of time. In my opinion, it is worth the $8 deposit to know I have a spot. Plus $39 for all you can eat, drink and beautiful beach. I'm ALL in. coneyraven and CJS2766 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sanchos is more party atmosphere with more water activities (like obstacle course). Nachi Cocom is very relaxing, not crowded, food is good, drinks are great.

14Terry Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 We’ve visited both. No issue reserving online for either site. Do recommend making your reservation in advance. No doubt, you’ll have a great time at either place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
