If you are looking for an intimate atmosphere with snorking and good food for an incredible value this is it. We visited in April from Carnival Dream. Cab fare for 4 from Puerto Maya was $10 each way. We arrived at 11 and there was a womans group there. A few other familes arrived later. I didn't count but there... More

This was our 3rd trip to Playa Uvas and we still love it!! In fact, I cannot imagine going anywhere else when our ship stops in Cozumel. As always, Carmen is wonderful and the rest of the staff is the friendliest I've ever met! That goes without saying though, as we've noticed that all locals on Cozumel are the nicest... More

Great way to avoid the crowds and hang with the locals. Not the Ritz, but you get much more than you pay for. $8 to get in and you get that in drink credits. More

We took a taxi from the International Cruise pier to the beach club ($10 each way, up to 4 people per taxi). We arrived around 9:30am and the only other people were on a tour from Royal Caribbean. They went out in clear kayaks then on a snorkel tour. The people said they liked it a lot. I ventured into... More

My boyfriend and I went snorkeling and kayaking here last week. The location was beautiful. Our guide, Luis, was fantastic! This was my first snorkeling experience, but his quick run-through at the beginning was helpful. The drinks at the bar were strong. I didn't have any food, but it smelled amazing and now I wish I had. The only negative... More

We docked in Cozumel on 3/24/2012 off the Carnival Triumph on my wife's birthday, and snorkeling was our primary goal. We are middle-aged, seasoned snorkelers. After glass-bottom boat snorkeling trips to Coz, we decided to try a Beach Club. Playa Uvas was everything we were looking for. Quiet, quaint, and easy off-the beach snorkeling. And, great snorkeling, too. In the... More
