When we visited the Cozumel the first week of our cruise, we actually docked at the International Pier. Our port itinerary changed (from Monday to Thursday) and since Puerta Maya was booked with other cruise ships, we ended up at the IP.
We wandered around IP, but did not find a good place to eat. We headed out of the International Pier and made a right. We walked for about a mile or two and came to the entrance of the Puerta Maya Cruise Center (the main dock/pier). We headed into the PM Cruise Center and made a right to find Pancho's.
It was too pretty to sit inside....
Here's Pancho's menu:
Beautiful artwork on display around the restaurant:
Pictures of the food:
The guacamole was delicious!
For us, Pancho's was the best restaurant when compared to Tres Amigos and Fat Tuesday. The food was fresh and tasty. We had a lovely view while dining outside:
After our early lunch, we walked past the tables and umbrellas and headed to a small beach area to lounge and relax in the shade. In front of us was the Puerta Maya pier:
To our right and in the distance was the International Pier where our cruise ship was docked:
A Note for Fellow Cruisers:
While we were window-shopping in Dufry's, I uncovered an interesting tidbit of information. I saw a small rum cake that I wanted to purchase. I mentioned that we were on the Caribbean Princess. I was told I couldn't purchase the cake in the Puerta Maya Cruise Center as our ship wasn't docked at this pier. Really? Yes! I was told I had to go back to the International Pier (where our ship was docked) and make my purchase at the Dufry's there. I didn't make a rum cake purchase that day. For my fellow cruisers, if you happen to be visiting another pier where your ship is not docked...just be aware that certain items can't be purchased.
Also, if the two Carnival ships were not in port at Puerta Maya, that cruise center and pier would have been closed.
