Playa Uvas Open Bar Exclusive Pass

Cozumel, drinks, and sea time in one ticket. The Playa Uvas Open Bar Exclusive Pass pairs a beach club entrance fee with a 4-hour domestic open bar, then adds a guided shoreline snorkel and a 30-minute kayak rental, with gear included. You’ll be in the Zona Hotelera area, a short taxi ride from the ferry or cruise port, and the day has built-in downtime too, with pool access and lounge space.

I especially like that this pass is simple to plan: 30 minutes snorkeling, 30 minutes kayaking, and then you can hang out at the club for the rest of your time. I also like the focus on domestic favorites, so you can keep ordering without guessing menus or hunting for specialty bars.

One heads-up before you go: the beach setup is not all soft, sandy coastline. Plan for a more practical beach day experience, and bring water-friendly footwear if you’re picky about foot comfort.

Key points to know before you book

• 4-hour open bar with domestic drinks, plus juice and soft drinks when you want a break
• Shoreline snorkel for 30 minutes with equipment and a guide
• 30-minute kayak rental to get out on the water without committing to a long tour
• Beach club comfort including pool, hammocks, and lounge chairs
• On-site fish spa and Wi-Fi for extra downtime
• Small group size (max 30) which usually means quicker attention at the bar and during activities

Playa Uvas Beach Club, the value play in Cozumel

Playa Uvas is one of those Cozumel beach clubs that works well when you want a full day without the busy, all-day driving. You meet at the Playa Uvas location in the Zona Hotelera Sur area, and it’s close enough to the port that a quick taxi ride can get you there fast. If you’re short on time, that matters.

The big idea behind the pass is that it bundles the stuff you would otherwise pay for separately: entrance access to the beach club, timed marine activities, and a bar package. For $45 per person, it’s one of the cleaner ways to get a half-day plan with alcohol included for adults.

The 4-hour open bar, what it really means

This is not an open-ended, all-day bar crawl. Your open bar access is four hours, and you’ll have a bartender on hand preparing cocktails and pouring domestic drinks. Expect classics like beer, rum, tequila, margaritas, and daiquiris, plus juice and soft drinks.

If you’re planning this for a group, that four-hour block is honestly helpful. It gives you a clear window to be social, then a clear window to shift back into snorkeling and beach time. It also means you should pace yourself, because the snorkel and kayak are scheduled within the overall visit.

Also note the alcohol rules. The minimum drinking age is 18, so adults in the group are the target audience for the bar portion.

Shore snorkel (30 minutes): gear included, keep expectations realistic

You’ll take part in a guided snorkeling session right from the shoreline. It’s 30 minutes, and snorkel equipment is included. That structure is smart if you don’t want a long, exhausting water session, or if you’re new to snorkeling and want a guide there from start to finish.

A short shoreline session also tends to be easier on your timing. You can enjoy the reef sights, then get back to the beach club before you’re fully worn out. People who are focused on photos and quick underwater time usually prefer this format.

Bring what you can to make it comfortable: swimwear under your clothes, sunscreen that won’t sting your eyes, and a towel. If you’re prone to slippery footing near shore areas, water shoes can help even when you’re not planning to walk far.

Kayak rental for 30 minutes: fun water time, treat it like rental gear

After snorkeling, you get 30 minutes of kayak rental. The idea is simple: get out on the water, poke around the area, and enjoy the marine life from the kayak. Since it’s time-limited, it feels more like a guided-style activity you can finish strong, instead of a long commitment.

One practical thing to watch: handle the kayak equipment with care. There have been situations where an oar problem led to a charge for replacement costs. You don’t need to panic, but keep a tight grip, don’t try to “catch” equipment while drifting, and follow instructions closely.

If you want the best experience, go steady. Short paddles, small course changes, and staying aware of where you are in relation to the shore will help you enjoy the water instead of fighting the current.

Beach club break: pool, hammocks, lounge chairs, and fish spa

This pass is not only about water time. The beach club access is where you chill between activities. You get time at the pool, a hammock area, and lounge chairs so you can dry off, recharge, and work on your sunburn strategy.

There’s also a fish spa on site. That’s one of those experiences that’s not for everyone, but it’s included as part of the beach club environment. If you like quirky, hands-on experiences, you’ll probably have fun. If you don’t, you can simply skip it and stick to lounging.

One more detail that matters for comfort: the beach isn’t described as a sandy stretch. It’s more of a beach club setting, so your comfort will depend on the footwear you bring and how you like to spend your time on shore.

And yes, you can take a break from thinking and just post your day. Free Wi-Fi is available for sharing photos with friends and family.

What’s included, what you’ll likely pay extra

Here’s the practical breakdown of what comes with the pass:

• Admission access to Playa Uvas Beach Club
• 4-hour open bar (domestic drinks, plus juice and soft drinks)
• 30-minute guided shore snorkeling (snorkel equipment included)
• 30-minute kayak rental
• National park fees
• Lounge time and beach club amenities like pool and hammocks

What’s not included is the one thing that can sneak up on your budget: lunch. Food may be available on site, but you should assume you’ll pay for it separately.

You might also want to plan money for additional purchases. The beach club environment can include shops on site, and shopping can turn into a budget surprise if you don’t set a limit ahead of time. I’d go in with a simple rule: pick up what you truly want, skip impulse buys, and compare anything you can before paying.

Timing and logistics: plan for a half-day vibe

The experience is listed as roughly 1 to 5 hours, and the structure includes a snorkeling block and a kayaking block. In practical terms, expect a visit that feels like a half-day outing, with the open bar lasting four hours and plenty of beach club time around it.

It’s open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM within the listed date range. That schedule is perfect if you’re arriving early and want to use the morning for port activities, then come here to stretch into afternoon.

This works well if you like a clear rhythm. Snorkel, kayak, then relax. It’s a beach day with a plan, not just a drop-off and hope for the best.

Price check: is $45 good value in Cozumel?

At $45 per person, this pass stacks a lot into one payment: entrance to the beach club, a four-hour domestic open bar, guided snorkeling, kayak rental, and national park fees. If you’re booking individual items on Cozumel days, the bundle approach can feel like the most cost-effective way to get the core experiences without juggling multiple tickets.

That said, the value depends on what you expect. If you’re looking for a massive, all-inclusive meal plan or lots of extra add-ons, this is more of a beach club day with timeboxed marine activities and drinks. Lunch is not included, so factor that into your total day cost.

My suggestion: treat the pass like a “beach club plus two activities” ticket. If that matches what you want, $45 looks like a smart buy.

Who this pass fits best

This is a great fit if you want:

• A simple, adult-focused beach club plan with alcohol included for the bar hours
• A short snorkel plus short kayak without a long, strenuous day
• A comfortable setting with pool time, hammocks, and lounge chairs
• A small-group feel, since the group cap is 30 travelers

It’s less ideal if:

• You insist on a fully sandy beach experience
• You want snorkeling that lasts for a long stretch
• You don’t want to handle any rental equipment responsibly

If your group includes different comfort levels, this pass can still work well. The snorkel and kayak are time-bound, but the beach club time gives everyone a way to choose how active they want to be.

Should you book the Playa Uvas Open Bar Exclusive Pass?

Book it if your goal is a relaxed Cozumel beach club day with four hours of domestic open bar, plus a guided shore snorkel and 30-minute kayak. At $45, the bundle approach is strong, especially if you value having equipment included and not having to plan multiple stops.

Skip or adjust your expectations if sandy beach comfort is your top priority, or if you want lunch included. And if you plan to shop on site, set a budget before you walk in, because impulse purchases can turn the day into an expensive side quest.

If you go in with practical expectations and bring the right footwear, you’ll likely end up with exactly the kind of half-day Cozumel escape that feels easy to enjoy.
