Playa Mia- Cozumel
New Year's day....we are in Cozumel....we were not quite sure if restaurants are open so we thought why not take Sofia to the beach a little bit...in fact more like a beach resort....shorex (shore excursions) actually has an "excursion".....well, they sell tickets onboard (make your own way there by taxi) and then stay as long as you want, all food and drinks included.
The three of us left the ship just after 9am.....and when we arrived, we were amazed....at the entrance there was a Starbucks (and seeing that I did not have a cappuccino yet, that is exactly what I needed). Let me explain a little what this beach resort Playa Mia is.....at the entrance you get a bracelet which is either "day pass", "day pass with buffet" or "day pass with buffet and bar"...the last is the one we had....after receiving the bracelet we walked past the few shops (clothes and souvenirs), two pools, slides, a kids play area pool and made our way to the beach.
Sofia enjoyed running around in the shallow waters and of course playing in the sand...then we thought it was time to show her the kiddies pool area....and oh my word....AMAZING. None of the water was deeper than her knees and there we pirate ships, small slides, various animals "spitting" water...it was amazing...and yes, Sofia loved it....unfortunately around 11am the tropical rain started...so we made our way to the buffet area, on the way, we bumped into some friends with his family (who work on the ship), so we all went to the buffet together. In all honesty, I did not expect too much from the buffet....well, I was SOOOOO WRONG.....it was incredible...fish ceviche...nachos, guacamole...crispy chicken, mac & cheese...great....I was happy with the nacho chips, guacamole and fish ceviche....just amazing. I think we made our way back during the day surely 3x. The drinks were also fab...beers and cocktails, from Margarita to Pina Colada and even Dirty Monkey's....yummie.
After lunch (the tropical rain) and Sofia's nap we joined our friend's in the pool and the rest of the afternoon was spent chit-chatting, playing with the kids, snacking and just enjoying the first day of the NEW YEAR. Playa Mia is great (especially an all inclusive package) and I would recommend it to anyone...fantastic. Sofia loved the beach and the pool...our little water rat...she did not want to leave....Well, enough writing now...time to share some pics I think.....

At 3pm we thought it was time to make our way back to the ship as the official departure time was 5pm...we all shared a taxi going back. I don't think I need to say that Sofia was exhausted from her swimming day...BUT she loved every minute of it. A great day out with friends....a great way to start the New Year. Enough from me for today....time to go and eat some lunch...cheers.
