If you’re thinking about a day of unwinding by the water in Costa Maya, this all-inclusive VIP beach pass to Nacional Beach Club offers a tempting way to enjoy the sun without the hassle of planning every detail. Designed for travelers who want comfort, good food, and a touch of luxury, this pass promises a laid-back day with plenty of amenities included. While it’s ideal for those seeking a stress-free escape, it’s worth noting that the experience can be affected by external factors like local vendors and natural conditions.
Two things we really appreciate: first, the all-inclusive set-up means you don’t need to worry about finding food or drinks; everything is covered. Second, the friendly staff and well-maintained facilities provide a comfortable environment for relaxing. The main consideration? Expect some vendor traffic that can sometimes intrude on your peace.
This experience suits travelers who value a straightforward, comfortable beach day with good eats and drinks — perfect for cruise passengers or day-trippers looking to escape the crowds and soak in some sun. If you’re after a lively party scene or untouched wilderness, this might not be the right fit. But if a relaxing, well-equipped beach day sounds appealing, then read on.

For around $135 per person, this pass grants you access to Nacional Beach Club’s comfortable beach area, with beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels provided for the entire day. Your ticket includes a generous spread of Mexican dishes for breakfast and lunch, along with unlimited beers, cocktails, and fresh juices. Plus, you can surf the free Wi-Fi or take a quick shower after swimming — all designed to make your day as effortless as possible.
Your day begins when a staff member greets you at the entrance, guiding you to your reserved beach lounge. You’ll be set up with your chair and umbrella, ready to settle in for hours of leisure. The real highlight is the food and drink offering: from classic guacamole and salsas to ceviche, enchiladas, quesadillas, and even seafood options like lobster, shrimp, octopus, and fish. Drinks include local beers and tropical cocktails, with some reviews praising the quality and variety.
While the process is straightforward, some reviews reflect mixed experiences. For example, one guest happily described it as “amazing food, drinks, and attentive service,” while others noted issues like watered-down drinks or noise from vendors. We’ll explore these contrasting reviews further.
The beach itself is described as small but pleasant, with plenty of shade and comfortable lounge chairs. Expect to be right on the water, with clear, shallow areas suitable for swimming or simply relaxing with your toes in the sand. Showers and towels are available, and Wi-Fi helps those who want to stay connected or share their photos.
However, some travelers mention a small, crowded beach area with vendors constantly approaching, which can detract from the peace. One review even pointed out the presence of many beach vendors and the challenge of getting a moment to relax without interruptions.
Many reviews praise the delicious Mexican dishes and the generous portions. Breakfast options like guacamole, salsas, and ceviche set a tasty tone, while lunch offerings include enchiladas, quesadillas, and seafood platters. Drinks are a mixed bag—some guests find the cocktails refreshing and well-made, while others note that beers weren’t always cold and drinks could be watered down.
Another aspect worth mentioning is the massages offered on-site. Several guests rave about their Yolanda’s massage, calling it the best ever, and claiming it adds an extra layer of relaxation to the day.
Transportation is easy and included in the price, with staff organizing taxis from the cruise port or nearby locations. One reviewer noted some initial wait time getting taxis due to the cooperation with local drivers, but overall, the logistics are smooth. The club’s operating hours are generous, open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., giving you plenty of flexibility.
Reviews show a generally positive vibe: many love the friendly, attentive staff, the delicious food, and the comfortable setting. Guests frequently mention how the experience offers good value, especially considering the all-inclusive nature of the pass.
However, some guests express disappointment with the beach conditions—notably seaweed or debris during low tides, and the persistent vendors trying to sell souvenirs, jewelry, or other items. One reviewer described the experience as “horrible” with a dirty beach and poor water quality, which highlights that external natural factors can influence the experience.

With a price of $135 per person, the value largely depends on your expectations. The included food and drinks alone can make this a cost-effective way to indulge in a day of leisure. The quality of service, the comfort of the amenities, and the convenience of transportation add to the appeal.
Keep in mind, you’re paying for a stress-free environment with good food and friendly staff, but not necessarily for pristine, untouched beaches. If your priority is relaxing in comfort with tasty Mexican dishes, this spot delivers.

This beach pass is best suited for cruise passengers or day-trippers who want a worry-free, all-in-one beach day. It’s ideal if you prefer comfort over adventure—think loungers, shade, good food, and a relaxing vibe. It’s also perfect for families or couples looking for a low-key day away from the hustle and bustle.
If you’re looking for peaceful solitude or pristine wilderness, you might find the crowd and vendor traffic a bit distracting. Likewise, if you’re sensitive to natural conditions like seaweed or low tide, be prepared for potential variability.

In the end, the All Inclusive VIP Beach Break at Nacional Beach Club offers a straightforward, comfortable way to enjoy Costa Maya’s waters with minimal fuss. The food, drinks, and friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere, and the included amenities mean you won’t be left searching for a towel or a cold drink. The main caveats are the vendor traffic and potential natural fluctuations that can impact the water quality.
For travelers who want a relaxed, all-in-one beach experience with good value for money, this pass hits the mark. It’s especially suitable for cruise visitors or those wanting a day of easygoing comfort without worrying about extra costs or logistics. If you’re prepared for some vendor hustle and natural variability, you’ll find this a solid choice for a peaceful day by the sea.
