Cozumel/Costa Maya suggestions for daytripping cruisers?
We are taking a cruise in April, with ports-of-call to include Cozumel and "Costa Maya". Not fans of canned cruise excursions, we're thinking of casting out on our own to sample the sights/beaches. Any suggestions for how to make best use of our limited port time in/around these locales? We'd like a relaxing beach/snorkeling day in Cozumel, and a "ruins" day in Costa Maya, ideally both off the beaten path and apart from fellow cruisers....

Lots of great things to do in both places. Start with a search of this site for "Cozumel" - you'll find that your question has been answered by many posters with lots of great recommends.

I am in Cozumel almost every month but am not familiar with "Costa Maya"--maybe Riviera Maya. If so, what is the port for this?
For Cozumel, avoid the cruise ship tours and hire a van from one of the "island tours" guides. Go to the east side of the island to escape the cruise mob--Chen Rio is beautiful with good food.

RobertSDF, Costa Maya apparently refers to the area of the Yucatan south of the Bio-Preserve and the Tulum ruins region. Our port looks to be a newer one, in a small fishing village known as Majahual (also Mahahual).
