Cozumel Mr. Sanchos Beach Horseback Riding Excursion Reviews
Enjoy a guided, 30-minute horseback shore excursion ride through the jungle, mangrove trails, and on the beach - all at famous Mr. Sanchos Beach Club in Cozumel.
So there is nothing really wrong with this excursion. Most people just put five stars because they had a good time. I tend to reserve the five stars like you would at a hotel. There has to be something above and beyond that makes it extremely memorable. The guys here are very nice and the horses are good. They are definitely above average. My guide Martin was very nice. My son and I both ride so it was nice not to have horses that just follow the guide and ignore all rider instructions. Once we got to the beach I actually had to hold my horse (Tarzan) back from wanting to trot or canter too much and get ahead of the group. Overall a very nice experience and since most of the ride is through the shade it is not too hot. At least not when we went around 10:00.Show Management Response

The horseback riding experience wasn’t the best. The waiting area is pretty much inside the area where the horses are kept so you are stepping over poop and if you’re lucky to get a chair, you get to sit in it, otherwise stand by it. The group I was in was a large group. We didn’t get any direction on how to maneuver the horse. In my group someone had done it before so she told me what to do. The guide had no interaction with us. Overall, not the best time and if I had to use this experience as a deciding factor to go again, I wouldn’t. Show Management Response

What a fantastic day we had. Took a taxi from the cruise terminal to the beach and we were greeted immediately by the staff. We were assigned a waiter right away who took care of us all day long. Anything we wanted, food, drinks, a perfect day. And it was incredibly reasonable as compared when I tried to book something through the ship. I'm definitely going to make it a habit to come back to this beach club. We went horseback riding and parasailing at the beach the kids absolutely loved it.Show Management Response

Finding this excursion half off compared to the cruise line price was amazing. We had a really good time and our Guide was very friendly and informative. It was a intimate experience because it was just my boyfriend and I along for the ride. We got amazing pictures and learned a lot about the history of Cozumel. The only negative was having to pay full price for entry into the all-inclusive side of the resort. ( which we were under the impression was free with our ticket ) Yes, you did get free entry to the resort but only a very small section could you enjoyed for“ freeâ€, you still had to pay for food & drinks. If you decide to stay and enjoy the resort definitely pay the extra for all inclusive side. If you don’t you will feel like you are missing out. Overall this was a great experience and I would definitely recommend itShow Management Response

30 minute ride including 10 minutes on the beach. Awesome experience for all four of us and it was our first time riding. Our girls absolutely loved every second and the guide and helpers were all friendly and great to us. He even took pictures with our camera which were great. We still decided to buy the photo taken by the photographer as it was not too expensive and had a great and fun picture frame. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and would love to do it again.Show Management Response

The staff at Mr. Sanchos was very helpful. My son thought he had left his cell phone in the cab or at our hotel. They tried to help us locate the cab, but it was too late. I did not know the number to our hotel, but the gentleman helping us asked around until he found someone that used to work at our hotel and knew the number by heart. We used their phone and we were able to locate the call phone. My son was then thrilled and ready to enjoy his ride. The guide was kind and pointed out interesting things while we rode through the jungle. The first view as we came out of the jungle and onto the beach was breathtaking! The ride was relaxing even though the horses were a little barn sour (EXTREMELY gentle and slow and knew the way without having to give them direction). We are experienced riders so there was no challenge but rest assured you can enjoy the ride if you've never seen a horse much less been on one. The shopping options at Mr. Sanchos were good. We got a great deal on a few things and they even engraved things for us on the spot for no extra charge. All in all a good way to spend the afternoon!Show Management Response

For our last cruise we choose to do the All Inclusive at Mr. Sanchos and my kids wanted to do the horseback riding. It was easy to add this to our package and we saved money too!
