Latest Chac-Chi News
May 6, 2008
Hi,
We hope that Chac-Chi will be open by the time that cruises return to Costa
Maya. It has been a bit hard and slow to get the place cleaned up because of the
difficulties to introduce machinery to do the job. We are still in the process
of cleaning our place. We still don't know what facilities we will have by that
time, as the arrival date come near we will have a more clear view of what we
can accomplish.
Cruisers will be welcome to our place as always and we hope that they continue
to enjoy our place.

Chac-Chi News
Hurricane Dean entered on Mahahual the 21th of August (2007) . Dean strike
Mahahual with a huge force and the results were not good for Chac-Chi and for
most of the inhabitants of Mahahual. Most of the touristic infrastructure was
severely damaged.
Unfortunately Chac-Chi was strongly damaged, our main structure, a big palapa
which holds the restaurant, had lost it's roof and several of or cabaņas were
also damaged. When Dean arrived, Chac-Chi was empty, all workers haved left
several days in advance to a safer place.
We are still evaluating the extensive damage that our place received, and we
estimate a long recovery time. We hope to be open again in about 6 to 8 months.
All changes are for good and life give us new opportunities to improve, we will
try to make a better place were you can enjoy and relax on your
vacations maintaining Chac-Chi a low impact development respecting the
enviroment.
Feel free to navigate throught our website and remember how our place looked
like before hurricane Dean.
My self and my family would like to thank several people that took some time to
write us to ask about our status and all Cruise Critic Boards members who have
support us for years. We hope to see you again soon when we are up and running
again.

The hole in the fence is a block from the security checkpoint at the entrance to the cruise ship dock.
At the end of the block, on the corner.
Not that way...
Oops, you just passed it...
If you are here you definitely passed it...
You may not find anyone in here that speaks English, but they are familiar with Chac Chi and if the hole moves, they probably know where
Back up to the corner
Once inside the fence, walk this way - you will pass the Comisariato on the left, but you will be on the correct side of the fence this time. Watch your step the whole way - don't want to sprain an ankle! Insect repellant might not be a bad thing, either. Insects weren't bad, but there were some.
Just before it ends, there is a turn off.. Looking back out
The second fence
hole in second fence - you can't miss...
Almost, but not quite there. But a good sign.
