While I suffered from seasickness, Jason was fine. Overall, we found it very easy to buy tickets and take the ferry to Cozumel and back to Playa Del Carmen. While I was very close to vomit, I was able to keep it in check but many others on the ferry were not so lucky (despite the smell and sound of people vomiting all around me, I kept it in check for the win!). While some posts say you won’t get seasick, I’ve spoken to many people and saw many people get seasick. The ride was pretty smooth and so I avoided seasickness but the return ferry ride was very rough due to high surf. Sorry other gringos, but give me back my pesos! Max’s on the Ultramar Ferry Max’s margarita on the Ultramar Ferry Low and behold, my change was handed over to another passenger and I got theirs, which meant I had to go and ask them to give me back my pesos, which was awkward. I really wanted to pay at the bar because we had a 500 peso bill and it made me nervous to hand it to a waiter that was handling other people’s money. I had ordered the drinks from the bar and brought them up, but they prefer you order from the waiters. Payment is cash only and it’s a weird system where you pay the server even if you order at the bar. We decided to treat ourselves to drinks I had a margarita and Jason had a beer. While only being 30 minutes, the ferry has a bar and snacks. Had it not been raining and very windy, we would have sat outside. We boarded when they called First Class and made our way to the second floor and chose 2 seats and a table together. We only had carry-on backpacks so we didn’t use the baggage service but they do have a space to store larger items. I didn’t see any bathrooms in the terminal and so it is best to wait until you are onboard the ferry if you need to go. There is also a Pescadores Brewing stand near the queue but we didn’t have time to have a beer. Google Map of where the pier isĭue to the incident with a bomb onboard a ferry, they are slowly installing an x-ray machine and walk through metal detector and so passengers will need to go through a security screening process in the future. The taxi will drop you off at the end of 5 th Avenue, one block away from the pier vehicles cannot drive up to the pier. To catch the ferry, we took a taxi from Hotel La Semilla to Terminal Ultramar (we took a taxi because it was raining, otherwise we would have walked as we only had backpacks). The main ferry pier is at the end of Av Benito Juarez. On the way back from Cozumel, we were not able to board first so the extra money for First Class is a bit of a scam. The only perk of First Class is you get to pre-board and have access to the nicer section of the ferry but it is a short 30 minute crossing and pretty comfortable overall. Our return First Class tickets were 500 Mexican Pesos ($35CAD per person). The other bonus of purchasing a return ticket is you get a small discount. Since we knew which ferry we wanted to take to get to Cozumel and which one to get back to Playa Del Carmen, we bought our return tickets to avoid waiting in line. If you are planning on traveling to other locations, like Isla Mujeres and Cancun, you may want to book with Ultramar as they offer “Island Hopper Fares”. Both providers offer similar pricing and schedule with ferries every hour between 07:00 -23:00. In this post, we share tips and information about taking the ferry from Playa Del Carmen to the Island of Cozumel and back.Īs for the ferry, there are 2 major providers: Winjet and Ultramar. Throughout the Cancun Hotel Zone, the buses run 24 hours a day, cost just 8.50 Pesos to ride (About 40 cents) and take you where ever you want to go in the hotel zone. Is there anyone here who has stayed in The Westin Cozumel All inclusive? I am looking at this one too and it has pretty good reviews, and the pics looks impressive.As Canadians, we decided to fly on WestJet’s red-eye flight from YVR – Vancouver into CUN – Cancun Airport and take a shuttle to Playa Del Carmen to spend 2 days there, before hopping on a ferry to Cozumel. COZUMEL FERRY: ISLA MUJERES FERRY: TAXI RATES: Cancun has perhaps the greatest bus system of any tourist destination weve been to. I would be at the resort like 1.5 days max - so would just relax, snorkle, walk. I am not sure if i would book a car here, unless i am really missing on something. I would definitely make my travel arrangement to-from the airport beforehand. if i had to think this earlier i would have booked my flight into can and back from czm. also, by this time our covid tests would be done so we can just expose ourself.lol. My flight is at 4.11 pm from cancun airport - so i guess that should give me enough time to if i start at around say 10am from the resort(?)Īnd the only point of doing COZUMEL last is we wanted to keep the best thing at the end.lol. I understand the worry about the taking the ferry on the day of travel - totally. Thank you TNTIII, Nacho239 and copilot for your advice! you guys are awesome.
