Hotels near Cozumel International Airport - CZM, Cozumel

The water colors were so spectacular as to defy description and the snorkeling was beautiful. The beaches are rocky. Except for the heart of the city/tourist center which we by and large avoided, it doesn’t feel overdeveloped. In fact the East side of the island is like another world and doesn’t even have electricity. A rental car is recommended to appreciate all the island has to offer but the traffic is a little chaotic. People are very friendly and we felt safe. Definitely would visit again.

The downtown is interesting, including the Cozumel museum. The coast on both sides is interesting, more wild on the east side and more developed on the west side. You can get away from the cruise ship crowds by going farther from town, on either coast.

There was bad weather during our stay, unfortunately, 4 days were not that long to wait for the weather to improve. El Cielo & El Cielito were closed, we were looking for alternatives, but the tour operators were a bit misleading. We were interested in a beach club, but also, we got misinformed about it; there was a lot of seaweed on some beaches. We found an honest taxi driver who drove us to a nice restaurant called The Money Bar Beach Club, and we had a good time over there watching the sunset while eating decent food and listening to live music. Taxi rides were a bit tricky as they sometimes overcharged you. Downtown was not as lively as usual, I guess, due to the Easter holiday. Would have liked to see more and take a tour, but Mother Nature can be unpredictable :( At least our hotel was really good, Hacienda Boutique B&B and Spa Solo Adultos is a highly recommended accommodation. No matter what, there's always something worth it about Mexico, food is amazing, people are welcoming and friendly, and even with bad weather, you can always enjoy a beautiful sunset or a starry night!

it is an all inclusive but availability and quality of drinks and food were poor. Over all it is inexpensive and if your expectation of the all inclusive feature is low you might be pleased. Location is great, staff good, and the snorkeling was fantastic right from the hotel. Hotel is dated and in need of remodeling but has a bit of a family feel with a chill vibe. I might consider staying again just for the available snorkeling and good breakfast. Wifi only worked in lobby which was unfortunate and inconvenient. Bring your own snacks and drinks for the room as they are not available

I enjoyed the natural beauty of the areas outside the touristy downtown area. I rented a scooter and drove the entire perimeter of the island (about 2 hours around without stops), but there are a few sightseeing locations, so plan a bit more time. I was there to go scuba diving and it did not disappoint. Once you get out of the touristy areas Cozumel is basically a rundown Caribbean island with not much to offer.

I have been visiting Cozumel for 15 years, for diving. While the people are friendly and the number of good restaurants has increased over that time, unfortunately the reef has been degraded effecting the diving experience. Its is my contention the powers that control Cozumel care more about making money from cruise ships than the environment, local people or infrastructure of Cozumel.
