Black Beard Pack-Day Pass

This is our 2 time in Manahual and we’re specifically looking for ceviche, a local favorite. We ordered a single order of mixed seafood ceviche and an order of guacamole. Ceviche included plenty of shrimp, octopus, fish, tomatoes, red onion, avacado, and cucumber. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The guacamole was delicious. I requested salsa picante and got a delicious habanero salsa. We had plenty to eat for 2. Our lead waiter, Pancho, and his assistant were very attentive. We sat at a table on the beach in the shade of coconut palms. Price was very reasonable with our food and 2 beers less than $60. The fresh whole fish dishes and other menu items we saw being served looked fantastic. The only reason I didn’t give them a 5 is because they wanted $30 for a 1/2 hour beach massage, while most near by vendors were considerably less.

First time going off port. High pressure sales who stands in front of the taxis so you can’t get in the taxis. Represent like he is taxi company. Changed $20, he say’s including taxi there. I was milked $8 more dollars after I got there, for taxi. This company is a complete scam. Waste there is a reason only 8 is here. Beware.

It was…. fine? I guess? Short taxi ride from the port. You have to go outside the port gates to catch your ride. This was a plan b booking when our first choice was booked. Day pass included snack, lunch and open bar. Snack was nachos with plastic stadium style cheese. Lunch was fajitas which were good but tiny portions. Drinks were plentiful and tasty. Lounge chairs were crowded together on the beach and facilities were, uh, primitive at best. Staff was very friendly but the vendors selling trinkets constantly coming by was annoying. I’d have preferred somewhere more private so I could have truly relaxed more.
