While this company sounds particularly egregious, all of the beach clubs, including Paradise Beach, have arrangements (for $$) with some of the taxi drivers to encourage cruise passengers to visit their beach club.The taxi unions in Mexico (not just Cozumel) in general, have a lot of clout and extortion is their middle name.The rates from certain pickup points to most destinations are fixed.
