We love Tropicante, we've been to visit 2 times now and will probably visit again next Jan 2014. The staff & owner are so friendly and helpful getting us anything we need. They have plenty of chairs & tables and lots of coconut trees to give you shade if you don't want to get too much sun.

Tropicante is the best. Hands down. I've been to Costa Maya several times and this last cruise was the second time I made a reservation at Tropicante. A word to the wise, make sure when you get there that you're actually sitting in the Tropicante chairs. The guy who showed us where our reserved lounge chairs were actually worked at... More

We always go to tropicante when our cruise ship docks in costa maya! And is always hands down the best day of the trip! Docked here in march from the ncl dawn - Steve had our chairs set up, we had some awesome food and cold beers and enjoyed the sun - perfection!

I am so glad my family found Tropicante as a place to spend our day on Costa Maya. We were traveling on the NCL Dawn and this place was the best! Steve made it easy for us to get here from the ship and we were relaxed and well cared-for the whole time! He held a table for us and... More

Steve will save a lounge chair for you if you e-mail way in advance. In our case we were a "walk up" we e-mailed ahead of time but he was booked. He walked us to his neighbor who had lounge chairs with a nice umbrella. We had a beer, nachos. I snorkeled, no fish. But the water was warm, crystal... More

Costa Maya was our last cruise stop on a Western Carribean Cruise through Carnival. I had read great reviews about Tropicante and I loved that you could reserve chairs for free, so I went ahead and e-mailed Steve. I reserved our chairs a month in advance and he said that they would be there for us when we got there.... More

We were at Tropicante on March 19 with our party of 11 for a cruise stop on the NCL Star. We had a great day! We had reserved lounge chairs a month or so before we arrived and they were waiting as promised. Visited with Steve, the WiFi was nice to touch base with an elderly parent back in the... More

We reserved a table for 5 at the Tropicante after reading the numerous positive reviews on Trip Advisor. Steve's staff was able to get us some lounge chairs as well as the table once we arrived off the cruise ship. Beer was cold, food was good and the water was warm. What else could you want. Steve spent quite a... More

I had heard through a friend about Tropicante and Steve Uhl, so I decided to make reservations by emailing Steve. I was unable to get lounge chairs, but Steve did reserve an umbrella table for my party of 6. Our cruise ship was there early in the morning, so we got to Steve when they were sitll setting up.
