147 guestrooms. All accommodations have balconies or patios with views of the gardens, pools, or ocean. Decor includes cream-colored walls, light-colored wood furniture, terra-cotta tile floors, and tan and green fabrics. Each guestroom is equipped with air-conditioning, satellite TV, telephone, hair dryer, iron with ironing board, in-room safe, and for a surcharge, room service.
It's a low-key, relaxed place with no pretentiousness and a generous supply of warm Mexican hospitality.
The resort contains two good-sized swimming pools surrounded by expansive sundecks. Situated on a terrace above the beach, the main pool is adults-only and includes a swim-up bar. An activities pool for adults and children lies in the resort's middle. On this pool's deck are ping-pong tables and a ceramics palapa where guests purchase and paint figurines and bowls. Behind a hedge lies a shuffleboard court. This resort is also just across from the island's premier golf course, Cozumel Country Club, featuring an 18-hole, par 72, championship golf course designed by the Nicklaus Design Group.
The beach is down a short stairway from the main-pool terrace. Shallow but long, it offers palm trees and thatched-roof palapas for shade and lounge chairs for sunning and napping. World-renowned for snorkeling and scuba diving, Cozumel is surrounded by parts of the world's second-largest coral reef, which extends from Cancun to Belize.
The lemon-colored, 12-story tower is visible for miles. That color, accented by orange, blue, and rose, recurs throughout the resort, creating a bright, Mexi-Caribe look. The resort offers a wide range of facilities, services, and activities. A children's center entertains with video games, arts and crafts, and other activities. The resort offers Flintstone land and the Bam-Bam Club (ages 4-12) for our younger guests. Complimentary scuba and snorkeling lessons, dance and Spanish classes, water aerobics and beach volleyball are offered daily. Each night, the resort's activities/entertainment staff presents a show in the theater. After the show, the theater becomes a disco nightclub.
Within the lobby are two free-for-use computers for accessing the Internet. A health-and-beauty spa offers saunas, steam rooms, body and facial treatments, hair and nail care, and massages are available outdoors or indoors. Like most Cozumel hotels, the Melia Cozumel recommends guests not drink tap water; bottled water is provided.
