Has anyone used this facility for horseback riding? We are trying to decide if we should go with Carnival's horseback riding tour, or book a private one (for a lot less cash!). Any reviews or input would be helpful. Thanks!

Carnival has a few horseback excursions on Cozumel.  Which one in particular were you looking at?

There are three main places in Cozumel that we know of. Carnival books with Rancho Buena Vista and I can't book privately with them from what I can tell. There is also Ranchos Palmitas and Aventuras Naturales.

Each place offers the same basic excursion for the same price, but I am having a hard time finding reviews for the places, including Carnival's. My husband and I are looking for a 2-3 hour ride where we can trot or canter for some part as we both very much enjoy horseback riding.
