bcarney Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Subject line asks it all: What to do in Costa Maya if Maya Chan is fully booked? Almaplena Eco resort seemed like a comparable option, but the reviews are either 10 or 0 and nothing in between, and that concerns me. Any other suggestions for a Maya Chan-like experience?

JennaRCB Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I would recommend Jaime's Blue Reef! asquared17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdauterive Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I really liked Almaplena pre-covid, but haven't had a chance to go back yet to see how it holds up. It was very similar to Maya Chan but a little more isolated and relaxing in my opinion. Travel time was basically identical since you used the "highway" instead of the beach road. Not nearly as many people (only 1 other couple from a cruise ship when we went), but not as much choice in food/drinks. No water toys, but the beach on both sides of the resort were uninhabited and accessible for a long stretch each way unlike Maya Chan. I'm planning to go back in the near future, probably our next time after our upcoming Maya Chan visit to at least compare again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcarney Posted November 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Thank you everyone. We got lucky! We were on Maya Chan's waitlist, and they contacted us to let us know some people canceled and now we're heading there. Looking forward to it!
