We spoke to monica by email and she set us up with a taxi stop for snorkeling gear on the way to the resort. It was the best beach I was ever on. No one on either side, just forest and clean empty beach. The resort was spotless, the staff was very friendly ( Hugo was running drinks out to... More

Really nice rooms and lovely italian hosts. We stayed there for 3 nights at the small resort. Perfect to relax on the beach, not much other things to do there besides snorkling. Blue water and white sand. Bring some moscito protection for the evenings. If there is no wind (not often) it's getting hot without an air condition, but fair... More

We arranged a day at Almaplena Resort beach as a cruise stop but during our entire cruise we experienced a cold front and big waves that made our preferred activity of snorkeling difficult. Yet Monica and her husband made this day a great experience for a group of family and friends aged 20 to 70. If you are looking to... More

Our group of 15 had this beautiful resort all to ourselves. We were picked up just outside the cruise terminal by representatives from the resort.

My sisters and I spent a wonderful day at Almaplena Beach Resort last week. The resort is secluded,peaceful and beautiful.We were treated like Royalty, and enjoyed a fantastic lunch, more like a feast. The owners are warm and welcoming.

My family and I chose to do the all inclusive beach day that Almaplena offers during our cruise stop in Costa Maya. The taxi ride over was a little rough with no air conditioning, but we forgot all about it once we arrived at the resort. The grounds and the beach are gorgeous. Andrea and Monica were very nice and... More
