Ever wish you lived on a tropical island? You can at least visit one when you escape to an all inclusive, diving paradise at El Cozumeleno Beach Resort. Located in the northern Hotel Zone of Isla Cozumel, just five minutes from downtown San Miguel, this family-friendly home away from home faces the clear blue waters of the Caribbean against sands so white it's tough to spot seashells.

Overall great value
The stay at El Cozumeleno was great. Here are some to the point thoughts of the general pros and cons:
Pros:
-great friendly and helpful staff. they always welcome and greet you with a smile.
-soft beach waves. I have two small children and was concerned with harsh waves and the waves at cozumel overall are not rough.
-plenty of activities to do right at the resort. if you're looking to just sit back and relax like me and my family and not want to venture out too often, there's plenty to do right at the resort. pool and beach obviously. there's also a kids room, free kayak, free snorkeling, free miniature golfing. there's also wave runner and some services that come right to the pier at the beach.
-free room service. this is awesome early in the morning when you're too tired to go downstairs to drink some coffee.
-theme nights are fun, especially the Mexican theme night.
-Food is pro and con. The pro is that the resort is all inclusive which is very convenient when you have a family of four. Not having to worry about additional costs of meals and snacks, etc. The con is the food can feel redundant very quick. Also, it's not the best tasting except for maybe the tacos. Alcohol is included in the price which is great but obviously it's not the best quality.
Cons:
-The rooms are two or three stars at best. And the bathroom stunk in our room. I think it was the toilet mostly... smelled a little like sewage.
-The beach is not clean. There are lots of shells and other little things. I think water shoes would be a good idea especially for little children.
-Lots of dead coral reefs on the beach which again, could be painful on the feet especially for little children.
All in all, I would recommend the resort. We had a great relaxing time.

Great first time in the Caribbean
El Cozumeleno was a great resort to visit for vacation. The room and maid service was great. My only complaint about the room was that the bed was pretty hard, but we had a great view from our balcony which made up for it! There was a good mix of Mexican and American food choices. The drinks were average, probably made with cheap ingredients to cut costs, but still tasty! The staff was very helpful and most spoke English which made things easier especially since we are not very fluent in Spanish. It is quite a hike to downtown. We walked it twice to cut costs, but taking the taxi is much more convenient as it is only about $7. The fancier restaurant, La Veranda, is definitely worth it. Even though you have to tip, it is a fine dining experience. In order to eat there for dinner, you have to make a reservation which starts at 8am every day so you have to be up early if you want a reservation. It was very convenient to have free WIFI in the lobby with 3 computers for anyone to use. The rooms were nicely air conditioned and we could control how cool we wanted it which helped us to sleep better in the humid Mexican weather. The night life at the resort was lacking. They have a discoteca, but it never seemed to be busy when we went up to check on it. Definitely more of a family resort with things to do for kids. They have complimentary snorkeling, tennis, mini golf, table tennis, kayaking, bike tours, aerobics class, etc. which keeps you entertained. I would recommend this resort definitely, unless you are looking for a crazy college Spring Break experience.
My husband and I have been to Cozumel 5 times and The Cozumeleno was the best place we've stayed among the others that were all top star places. We stayed 18 nights and our kids and 10 month old granddaughter joined us for a week and it was fabulous the entire time. The service was truly exceptional. You will feel very cared for and catered to. It was super clean. The food was marvelous, lots of choices. Our king bed and spacious room were very comfortable. The shower pressure slowed down here and there and they could use a few more beach chairs. We will definetely go back.
Our first to El Coz. It was a very nice few days. The staff was very accomodating and friendly. The food was plentiful with lots of choices, the kids enjoyed the snack bar open most of the day with Hamburgers, Hotdogs & Chicken fingers. The bar seemed to open all day long. The drinks weren't the strongest ever but if you asked for a double you got no problem. Overall a fun trip for the whole family.

Hi, my family is wanting to take a trip on March 25 for 5 nights to Cozumel. My oldest son who is 27 will be flying out of Charlotte NC, I have another son that is 23 that can either fly out of Indianapolis IN or with the rest of us out of St Louis MO. My other sons are 25, 17, and 15. My husband is 51 and I am 45. I have been looking at the El Cozumeleno but if you know of something better or cheaper let me know. The main thing that we want is to be able to snorkel.

My suggestion is that you fly directly to the island. Flying into Cancun added an extra 3-4 hours of travel. Not horrible, just meant I wasn't on the beach.

Hotel Description
Dive into El Cozumeleno, an Island Paradise
Ever wish you lived on a tropical island? You can at least visit one when you escape to an all inclusive, diving paradise at El Cozumeleno Beach Resort. Located in the northern Hotel Zone of Isla Cozumel, just five minutes from downtown San Miguel, this family-friendly home away from home faces the clear blue waters of the Caribbean against sands so white it's tough to spot seashells.
If you're curious about Davy Jones' Locker, the diving and snorkeling opportunities near El Cozumeleno Beach Resort are second to none. Make plans for reef snorkeling, diving lessons and certification and dives to see the amazing Palancar Reef. If pirate ships are more to your liking, swab the deck of a rental sailboat, take a sunset cruise, or schedule a deep-sea fishing charter, all from one location right in front of the resort.
The landlubbers in your crew can lounge on the sands of the serene beach, or opt for the three-level, free-form activities pool that includes a jetted section and swim-up bar. Grab something to munch at Banana's poolside snack bar, and then relax under the highest tier behind a waterfall or in the 10-person spa tub. If you need a more Zen-like experience, grab a spot by the "quiet" pool, while the munchkins indulge in the mushroom-shaped shower located in the children's wading pool.
Drop your offspring off at the all inclusive kid's club before taking in 18 holes of golf at Cozumel Country Club right across the street. Designed by the Nicklaus Group, the course is not only environmentally friendly, but offers a challenge for everyone from beginners to experienced players. Gather everyone for an early evening meal at the open-air El Cocal, then give 'em your best Jimmy Buffet rendition at Donatello's karaoke, or enjoy live entertainment available three nights a week produced by your friendly and courteous staff.
After a full day, you'll be ready for sweet dreams when you retire to an Ocean Front View room. You've earned it. You're on vacation.
