We just got off the Wonder after a 5 night out of Miami. There were a few things we didnt have a lot of info on before we left, so I want to post a few "reviews" without a full on trip report.
We have a 4 and 7 year old and did Paradise Beach in Cozumel. We paid $20 for a taxi (each way). There were a few other ships in the harbor, but, we think Disney disembarked first because we leisurely got off the boat, hit starbucks for some internet, then caught a cab to the beach. But, we were still among the first people there. (We also beat the "excursion" shuttle).
They have a beautiful large pool. We picked some chairs by the pool (we picked shade, since we anticipated it would be hot later). The chairs are all numbered and it is $2/chair (which really is $2/person, since our family only took up two chairs) plus $10/person for food. We ordered 5-6 beers, some guacamole and a kids cheese pizza and hit the minimum no problem with food we would have ordered anyway. The bathrooms were nice, clean, and there were lockers too. Access to the beach and beach activities was easy, but other than a half hour or so in the ocean with my 7 year old, my kids just loved playing in the pool. We did not sign up for the extra $12 for ocean jumpers/slides, nor did we ever have any pressure to.
It definitely filled up by the afternoon, so we were glad we had our chairs "reserved". Since we spent most of our time in the pool, we could see our stuff so we didn't get a locker. The pool was busy, but not overwhelming. Long story short is we were VERY pleased with our trip, which totaled about $100 for the 4 of us.

We're planning to go there on our Cozumel day on our May cruise.
