Hola Eduardo!
Just a short note to tell you that we were so pleased with our experience at Playa Uvas. We discovered you guys through our hotel website, Wyndham.com, because we were looking to book a scuba resort dive during our vacation. Since there are so many options in Cozumel, I thought it best and easiest to book the one advertised by our hotel. I have to tell you Eduardo, It was such a pleasurable experience from beginning to end. As soon as I sent the reservation in, I received your email confirming. When we arrived at Playa Uvas, I had just walked up to the reservation counter and before I even said anything, you and Carmen knew me by name immediately. It felt very nice to be "expected". The check in was a breeze, and we met with our instructor, Luis, a few minutes later. As you already know, Luis was very friendly and knowledgable, giving us a quick lesson reviewing all of the skills, then we got our gear and went to the beach to practice. Once we passed the skills, we took off for a spectacular beach dive where we went 25 feet under. That was so beautiful! We saw tons of fish, octopus, lobsters, starfish...it was awesome! Then we went on the boat out to Paradise Reef and went diving 50 feet! It was truly the coolest experience of my life. I felt so at peace down there, and I felt completely secure with Luis, our instructor, by our side.
I am so glad that Playa Uvas made our first scuba experience such a great one. We highly recommend you guys, and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a great time! |

Eduardo and team -
We had a group of 32 (5 kids and 27 adults) we did a variety of snorkeling and some just hung out at the beach. This was not mine nor my husbands first trip to Cozumel and for the money bar none there is not a better place to go for the day.
A couple weeks before our visit I contact Eduardo via e-mail and asked many questions that he thoroughly and promptly answered. We found exactly what we expected upon our arrival. We were greeted and checked in with each family able to choose the package they desired. We had our own waiters and tour guides (who were extremely patient and helpful with all skill levels and kids especially). And we enjoyed unlimited drinks of all varieties (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). The food was also very tasty! It was a very welcoming place and beautiful beyond words!
The Playa Uvas team went out of their way to accommodate us. We had a delay in getting our large group out into the water for snorkeling due to the availability of equipment and this team went out and actually bought a pair of kids flippers that we needed! Every effort was made to take care of us in a timely manner.
A great day was had by all and we have many beautiful pics to enrich our memories of a great day at the most beautiful island!! |

My family of 5, - myself, wife, 12, 16, and 18 year old searched for our own shore excursion prior to arriving in Cozumel, and found Playa Uvas.
I cannot say enough positive things about our experience there. The facilities were excellent, the staff was incredibly nice and accomodating. The snorkeling was wonderful - perhaps not as great as it "used to be" in Cozumel, but thanks to experienced guides, we saw beautiful corals and fish, a few rays, a scorpion fish, an eel, and just had a blast. We did the snorkeling, was still lots of fun for us all.
The beach was beautiful and calm. It wasn't too crowded. We got the all inclusive package and the food was good (and there was enough to satisfy us all - even the teens) and the alcohol was non-stop for my wife and I.
All told, we highly recommend Playa Uvas for anybody looking for a place to relax and even find a little adventure on the beautiful Isla Cozumel. |

Eduardo,
I have been to Cozumel several times and was having a hard time deciding what to do this time around. I read some reviews from Cruise Critic and decided to take a chance and go somewhere new. I was told that as soon as we entered the property we would be greeted by Carmen-- and we were. She knew my name as soon as I got out of the taxi. She was so wonderful and took her time showing us around and introducing us to everyone. It really made you feel like family.
We got there early and sat on the beach and watched the clear kayaks go out. We relaxed, then got ready for our snorkeling adventure. The beach was a bit rocky, but all the kindness and helpfulness makes up for that. Our snorkeling adventure was very nice. My stepmother had a very bad experience snorkeling in Hawaii, so I wanted to show her what it was really like. It was wonderful to see all the fish, fresh water caves, stingrays and anything else our guide was able to go down and point out to us. We both had a wonderful time!
All of our drinks were included in our package, but I have to say the lunch was fabulous!!! Everything was very fresh and tasty.This was better than some of the food on the ship. Anything that we wanted we got. It was heaven on earth.
Nancy loves a massage. We actually consider her a connoisseur of massages-- she took advantage of the fact that you are doing them right on the beach. She came back and told me that was one of the best ones she had ever had.
Thanks to you and your caring staff for making our visit memorable. We will be back!
We also plan to tell anyone else going that it is a place that you can't miss in Cozumel |

Eduardo,
I just wanted to let you know what a great 2 tank dive trip I had from Uvas beach. The dive guide was very nice and helpful. I have not been diving long and he made me feel very comfortable. The reefs we dove were beautiful and we even saw two seahorses! I will be recommending Uvas to everyone! My husband spent the day on your beach while I dove and had Raul as a waiter. He was very attentive and my husband had everything he needed.
Thanks again for our great day in Cozumel! |

My spouse and I had an exquisite day @ Playa Uvas. We decided this would be a great way to spend some quality time in Cozumel on the beach. We were not at all disappointed.
After a short 5-10 min. taxi ride from our port we were in paradise!:) Carmen was there to immediately greet us and introduce us to the staff. Everyone was very friendly and personable.
We chose the snorkel, lunch and open bar package. What a great value. My wife also had a massage with Luz as soon as we got there. She said it was one of the best massages she has had in quite some time ($60/hour can't beat that). The massage area is located steps from the beach and was a very serene environment. Next, was our snorkel tour courtesy of Pablo. This was very exciting as well. Various schools of fish would swim along side of us as Pablo guided throughout our underwater journey.
Upon returning to shore, we had our lunch. I had chicken fajitas and my wife had the beef. Both entrees were delicious. The service provided by our server Kiko was top-notch. He was two steps ahead of us before we asked for anything. Kiko was definitely one of the many highlights of our day here. It is hard to find such eagerness to please back in the states. It was very refreshing for a change. Gracias Amigo!
After many, many margaritas and Corona's :D , we decided to head downtown. We bid the staff a fond farewell and it seemed as if we were leaving friends and family at Playa Uvas!:)
Without hesitation we will return to Playa Uvas. We would highly recommend that anyone who is sitting on the fence and not sure whether this is a great place or not, to take the plunge! You will not regret it. |

we didn’t know what daypass to choose and Eduardo e-mailed me back all the answers to our questions, he was so patient and helpful to make our decision. At the end, we chose a package and he got back with our confirmations. Thanks a lot Eduardo!!! At last, we got to Cozmel and Playa Uvas, it was a little bit late because we were on vacation and it means waking up later than usual! We didn’t have any problem getting there and Carmen was waiting for us. She was so nice and introduced us to the staff, (there is a guy whose name is Teebo (sp?), a good looking Frenchman, he told us he had just started working in Uvas the week before!). Uvas is definitley OK and very clean; one thing you notice immediatelly is they really take care of the gardens, I really liked the place realized it is very different to other beaches I've visitedt, but specially I liked the staff who was very friendly! Teebo gave us a nice beachfront shaded bed, then Raoul, our waiter, came and asked if we wanted something alcohol free to drink before the tours, after this, we proceeded to dress up for the water. I don’t want to say more than what everybody has written, so bottom line, everything was very good! After the kayak tour we went to see Luz, and as you all have said, her massages are delicious! . As shopping goes, I also bought some very nice glass fusion necklaces for myself and some presents for friends. The food was very good and the margaritas and mango daiquiris were absolutely better!!! Suddenly, it was 3 PM, time to go back to the ship, so, we said good bye to Carmen, Raoul, Teebo and Luz and got in the cab that was waiting to take us back. The next time we go back to Cozumel we definitely visit Uvas again!!! |

April 2, 2007 my 18 yr old daughter and I arrived by cruise ship in Cozmel. We had seen the ship excursions prior to sailing and had decided to go to your website to try to get a better understanding of the tour. After looking at your website (which is very user friendly with totally true to life information and pictures) I booked thru you direct and saved money from the cruise ship price.
Well the day turned out to be all we had hoped for and more. Carmen is a great welcome host. She did an outstanding job of getting us signed in and explaining our day. She is so sweet. We met our waiter and were then turned over to Pablo who guided us on our tour. He was amazing and my daughter fell in love with his sweet personality and kindness, of course he is cute too!! If only we could put him and Luz in our bags and bring them home. lol
We both enjoyed the kayaks and were hungry so we hit the fajatas and they were OUTSTANDING. I love mexican food and had never had tortillas like those -- they were amazing and the guamole' was great. (Rafael is a great waiter and his recommendations for drinks are right on). After our lunch, we settled in beach chairs for some rest and refreshments. Our waiter and Pablo were so attentive it was like we were the only people there. We had booked massage time with LUZ and if you never do anything else in Cozmel...spend time with her. She's the best I've ever had. She is wonderful I don't think I can adequately explain in words but I am sincere when I say it will be the best money you spend. This whole experience from beginning to end was EXCELLENT! I only wish we could have stayed longer. Now back at home I am recommending to everyone I know who may be visiting the Cozmel area to come to UVAS and God willing, I will be back!!! Thank you for your honesty in providing a website that is truly what you say, but most importantly, thank you for a day we will never forget. Debb and Jess (Tennessee) |

My husband and I visited Playa Uvas on April 13,2007. I can’t say enough good things about our visit. The only thing I wish is that we could have stayed longer. The day went by way too fast.
When we arrived, Carmen promptly greeted us and introduced us to all of the staff. I felt as if we were family. I have read people say they were treated like royalty and I totally can relate to that feeling. We were treated like royalty too. We decided to rent one of the beach beds and I didn’t want to get up from that bed all day. We had signed up for the all inclusive package with the snorkeling. After going on the kayaks I ended up laying down and relaxing the rest of the day. Oh, I did get up to get a massage from Luz( mi tocayo)( Luz will understand what I mean when I say mi tocayo. :) ) The massage was amazing and Luz definitely lived up to her reputation. Our whole experience with Playa Uvas was amazing. The fajitas were so tender and oh so yummy. I wish I could go back to visit right now. I would love to spend a few days at Playa Uvas. Time went by way too fast. I didn’t get to snorkel because I was too relaxed on the beach bed and didn’t want to move. I need to plan a return visit so I can do the snorkeling. Another cool thing that happened was I mentioned that I was sunburned from the previous day and our waiter made sure that the umbrella was adjusted throughout the day so I would be in the shade. I never even saw him do it. I thought my husband had moved the umbrella. I was impressed. After we returned to the ship, I bragged all night how great of a day it was. I’m sure they were getting tired of hearing me. I would highly recommend Playa Uvas to everyone visiting Cozumel.
Sincerely Yours, |

Well, sadly, I'm back from my 14 days of back-to-back cruises and 2 days in Key Largo, but I bring back wonderful memories, especially my day at Play Uvas. I had booked over 7 months ago after reading all the great stuff (thanks everyone) and so I pretty much knew what to expect. My friend and I arrived around 9:30 AM and were greeted by the charming Carmen who immediately made us feel like visiting royalty; making sure to introduce all the staff to us, giving us our locker key, checking to make sure we had a nice spot picked out, our food ordered, and any other details she could think of.
After settling in, Santos was right there to take our drink order (we started with soft drinks because we didn't want any alcohol before our water sports). Originally, we had signed for the snorkeling/beach break package, but after spotting the kayaks, we asked Carmen if we could switch to them instead. Of course, she immediately handled that for us. (gosh, these folks make you feel SO SPECIAL catering to your every wish).
There were 6 ships in town that day and many ship tours snorkeling and kayaking at Playa Uvas, but the staff made sure it was never crowded and that we could go at whatever time we chose. We joined a smaller group and had a wonderful time. Edwin was our guide (along with a couple of other guys) and he took us to some nice spots. It was really fun sitting in the clear kayak as the fish swam under and around us.
After the tour, we each had a deep-tissue massage with Luz and her fingers were magic! After 45 minutes of sea kayaking, she massaged away any soreness and left us feeling like wet noodles. It was such a luxury to be massaged while listening to the water lapping at the shore and feeling the trade winds blow across my skin. Luz certainly lived up to her reputation. I've had massages at lots of spots, including Canyon Ranch and Burke Williams, but in my opinion, Luz's technique is superior to them all!
After the massages, Santos brought us lunch. Yummy chicken fajitas. We ate until we couldn't move. Then, after we felt like we could stumble back down to our lounger, we were met there by Santos with two refreshing Miami Vices. Ahhh, life just doesn't get any better.
We also visited Sol and bought some of her amazing jewelry. Lovely artisanship and very reasonable prices.
Around 4:00, we called it a day, handed out tips to all the wonderful staff members, hugged Carmen good-bye and took one of the conveniently waiting taxis back to the ship. Just writing this review brings a smile to my face. We will definitely be returning to Playa Uvas again! |

Six of us, friends and family, visited Playa Uvas from the Carnival Glory on February 26. We were welcomed by Carmen, whose gracious hospitality reassured us that we had chosen wisely where to spend our day on Cozumel. We found the facilities and equipment to be clean and well-maintained, the fajitas quite yummy, and those frozen mango drinks muy delicioso. Thank you, Rafael! We were glad to have brought water shoes for the beach, found the water clear and warm, and enjoyed the snorkeling and kayaking. Carmen helped arrange, with a taxi driver, an impromptu tour around the island with a stop at the north beaches, so changed by Wilma, but still wildly beautiful. We found our day at Playa Uvas to be truly relaxing and highly recommend it to visitors seeking sun, sand, clear waters and hospitality, without floating icebergs and jet skis. |

We spent our wonderful day at Playa Uvas on Tuesday 2/27 (seems like a long time ago!) and it was everything we had hoped and much more.
We had met some friends on the ship that wanted to come along so I emailed Eduardo who promptly emailed me back and said it would be no problem to bring them. We arrived by taxi ($15 for 5 of us from Puerto Maya) about 10:00am.
We were greeted by the ever-friendly Carmen who is an absolute delight and a true asset to Uvas. Carmen escorted us over to introduce us to the bartender, to Rafael our waiter, the dive master and just about everyone else that walked by! Everyone was so friendly and they were very well staffed. Our chairs were reserved waterfront and since we got there just in time to join a snorkel group, we opted to do that first. Rafael took our towels down to our chairs for us while we stashed all the goods in the lockers.
We saw a lot of different fish during our snorkel including a large squid, moray eel, lots of colored fish and conch. The entry into the water is a bit tricky with the rocks on the shore but it's only a few feet until you get to smoother ground. Our shoes were placed in a large bag that were put on the kayak with another guy who kept a close eye on everyone in the group. It was a bit of a work-out as the water was a little rough but not too bad.
When we got back to our chairs we met Luz, the massage therapist, who already knew my name! EVERYONE in this place knew my name! She is everything you all said she was...and more. A real professional. I don't like massages but had booked one for my dh who said it was the best one he's ever had. She tried to talk me into a demo that she promised I would like but I wasn't brave enough. I settled down with a drink and enjoyed the sun but then Sol arrived and had her jewelry set up so it was time to go shopping!
Sol...what a sweetheart from Argentina. I liked the necklace she had on but she didn't have any like that for sale because it took a special enamel she can only get in Argentina. She just smiled and said she would sell me that one if I wanted it. It was perfect and I found earrings to go with it. I bought another set as well. All total, we bought many necklaces and earrings in our group. Everyone loved her jewelry. I wore one of the necklaces off the ship and had 3 different ladies comment on how pretty it was. Thanks, Sol for selling me the jewelry off your own neck!
By now, it was lunchtime. We didn't order the lunch inclusive because we wanted to order off the menu. It was great. Wonderful nachos, guacamole, fajitas. Fixed and set up for us before Rafael came to get us on the beach.
After hanging out for the rest of the day, we sadly had to head back to port. After a hug from Carmen and bidding everyone a farewell...we caught a taxi back vowing we would definately return to Playa Uvas again. After 10 trips to Cozumel and visiting many of the beaches and resorts, I can honestly say that was the best experience we've ever had on the island. I'll never get over the fact that everyone knew my name and REMEMBERED it. Even some of the other guys from the dive shop. When I forgot Rafael's name, he joked with me that he remembered mine so I could remember his!
Thanks, Eduardo, Carmen, Luz, Sol, Rafael and all of the wonderful staff. We'll be back in May but will have a 2 and 5 yr. old with us so may not be able to come to Uvas. I don't think I'd be able to relax with them around all the rocks on the beach but I encourage EVERY adult to give Playa Uvas a try. You won't be sorry and we will certainly be back as soon as possible!

We really enjoyed our day on 2/21 at Uvas. We purchased the all inclusive package. First we went on a 45 minute guided clear kayak tour followed by snorkeling. We saw a lot of small fish and coral. After that we were able to relax, drink and eat fajitas. Santos our waiter was very attentive and took great care of us. Most of the staff even remembered my husband and myself by name. Even though there we ship tours going on throughpout the day it never felt crowded because everything was extremely organized. It was a very relaxing day and I highly recommend Playa Uvas. Thanks Eduardo and the Paya Uvas staff- Tracey |

We discovered Playa Uvas in. What a treasure! We loved the romantic feel from the linen "fences" blowing in the breeze. I am a cruise travel agent and recommend Playa Uvas to all of my clients who pass through Cozumel. As far as I am concerned, Playa Uvas is THE place to be. The combination of snorkeling, kayaking, and relaxing are phenomenal. We love the pool...not meant for splashing and diving like all the tourist traps, but for lounging with a drink from the bar just steps away! The intimacy of the palm-tree loaded patio struck us immediately. And how much more romantic can you get than laying in a fluttering-canopy-covered lounge bed on a white sand beach looking at crystal blue waters? We are anxiously awaiting our next trip to Playa Uvas! |

we finally arrived to Cozumel, last week, and docked at Punta Langosta. It was a rainy day.... like the sun wanted to peek, but there were too many rain clouds.. so we headed to Uvas and decided that even with the rain, we would make it an experience, and it was; we had a great time! We were met by Carmen - Uvas is prettier than I imagined it to be, and I liked the the color of the water - metallic blue, on such a cloudy day. I'm sure now that if we'd gone someplace else that did not have the clear kayaking, the snorkeling and the massage, it would have been a total waste of our day. But that didn't happen at Uvas! We had no sun, but we had LOTS of fun! Mi DH and I reserved the all-inclusive package, we were assigned a locker (which I didn't use and forgot to return the key , sorry Carmen)... we got towels and we met Christian, our guide. Raphael our waiter took us to the beach loungers, which because of our early arrival, and being a cloudy day, were almost empty - there were only 4 more couples. He offered us non-alcoholic drinks, as you cannot drink alcohol before the tours . First we did the kayak tour, and then the snorkeling... there was a little bit of a wind factor, so Christian had to tug us the majority of the tour . Also, I thought the water was going to be cold, like it is in California, but it was very comfortable. After the kayaking, and the swimming, my DH went back for more snorkeling, as right in the front beach there's fish. It was enough for me so I headed for a relaxing massage with Luz, and what a delight! Luz is an expert, I recommend you all get a massage from her.... wow! After the massage, I had to drag my DH from the water to go to the restaurant where we had the fajitas, and my DH, not being a great fan of Mexican food, ordered the Fish Filet. My DH is a good dancer, so, with all the margaritas from the open bar, we decided to give it a try, after all that good food - dance SALSA!!!! there were other couples on the dance floor too, the ones that reserved the same package as we had. I was hoping that after Uvas we could go downtown shopping, but the day just slipped away; I still bought some stuff from Sole . After that, we just picked up our stuff, said good bye to Carmen and the staff (my DH tipped them well ), and returned to the ship in one of the taxis parked outside Uvas. So, whether it rains or shines, Uvas is the place to be! and that's the truth! Thanks Eduardo, Carmen, Christian, Raphael, Luz, and all the staff for a wonderful day! |
