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.

Good inexpensive trip
Everything turned out to be great . I was a little hesitant because of some of the reviews but we had an amazing time . Everyone was very helpful and extremely nice . It was our first time so getting around outside of the country had me a little sceptical but the staff were very very helpful . Made us feel comfortable. The beach was amazing and entertainment at night was just that , ENTERTAINING . The only downfall was the food wasn’t the best but plenty of other options in the downtown area which is literally 5 mins away . The room service breakfast was delicious however the buffet for lunch was not . However, that was the only downfall so pros outweigh the cons !
Service was very good! Very polite and helpful staff. Beach was not the easiest to walk due to rocks, but the structure made for pretty decent snorkeling. Got to see a variety of fish. The room was nice and roomy with a great “sky ocean view”. All-in-all I’m pretty happy with our stay.
beds are HORRIBLE!!!! All need to be burned. Buffett food was bad, cold, same desserts every night. Staff was great. The only good thing about this resort it that it's beach front!!! Will never go back.

Need assistance with a party of 7 flying out of different states9 answers
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.

Go here if you want to snorkel!! Ask waiters for bread and you will have the time of your life. Great view! It was the cheapest thing that was worth the money.
Wrays
Just looking at the age group, I think that your kids will be bored here. The couples are mostly older and the families are mostly younger (2-5 year old).
There are lots of places to snorkle in Cozumel that are easy to get to, so you don't have to worry too much about that.
KathrynH
If you want to snorkel this is the place to go! We just got back and you see fish literally 5 ft from the beach. We got to see sting rays, sea urchins, baracudas, crabs, packs of fish and dolphins (the dolphins we saw standing on the beach though). It is good for all ages and it was definitely the nicest hotel on the island. We did a tour and drove by the others so that's how I know.
ackerman824
Snorkeling is best with the glass-bottom boat tour that you can purchase with any deal. Don't be fooled by the boat when it arrives - it is SUPER fun!
Otherwise, I'd keep looking..... Read reviews. You can probably do better than El Cozumeleno.
Jeelli05
snorkeling was great at el cozumeleno. but we also went on a snorkeling excursion. I would strongly suggest that as well. resort you will see some variety of fish. excursion we saw barracudas, turtles, beautiful coral, hugeschools of fish, and a 6 foot shark
tucci
Cozumel is one of the best snorkel areas in the world. El Cozumeleno has decent snorkeling and provides equipment that you can check out one hour at a time and can only stay on premises. If you have your own equipment you can walk left of the hotel about 1/4 mile and drift back to the hotel for fantastic snorkeling. If you want to snorkel off the beach there are great bars and restaurants as you go around the island that promote this. Rent jeeps or scooters OR...El Cozumeleno will arrange a van for you for the day for your group. You can also take a boat...find a smaller company that takes no more than 15 people, and go to 3 reefs for about $25.00 US a person. The snorkeling is unbelievable.
TKHumm
El Cozumeleno is the place to go for snorkeling right out the resort 150' is some of the best snorkeling I have ever done. There is only one airport on the island and free transportation is including is you book the all-inclusive package. We just got back and had the best vacation of our life and we travel a lot.

Does El Cozumeleno Resort supply fins, mask and pump up vest for snorkeling?11 answers
6 years, 81 months ago
Michigan City, IN
Snorkeling is available at the resort. Equipment is available as well. They may ask for a deposit prior to taking the equipment out into the water, which is usually refunded once everything is returned.
KateHCC
Yes. They offer life jackets not the pump up kinds though. We went snorkeling and did not use a life jacket. The salt water makes it unnecessary to do so.
Thom2954
There is a dive shop on the property and they will let you use all snorkeling equipment for one hour free of charge. Anything over that and they charge $10 for the day.
VickyfromColorado
yes, they do with a picture ID
dgkatz
They do supply fins, mask. Not sure the pump up vest.
lvbo
Yes they do. Its free, all you have to do is give a photo ID. Also--just FYI, we saw more fish at the resort than we did on our excursion! We took some fruit in the water and the fish went nuts! :-)
KelGav
I know they have fins and mask, not sure about the vest. I do believe so though. But I think they charge $10 to rent. We just brought our own. You can go to their website elcozumeleno.com and instant message them. They do speak fluent english.
ackerman824
Yes to fin, mask, snorkel - not 100% sure on the "pump up vest" though but I did see a few people with life jackets (which I assume you mean) on. Its a good place to snorkel but if you are experienced, walk down the beach, towards downtown area, to the little cove by the abandon resort and float back down to Cozumeleno; its about a half hour float and you see much more than at the resort.
CMDWonvacation
fins and mask are available for rent with a photo id. no vest

why is the water in the pool always cold in Cozumel?3 answers
5 years, 71 months ago
Illinois
The water temperature at a resort's pool is determined by the daily temperature and position of the sun.

Not sure which hotels you've been to, but this hotel's pool is very warm as it's in the sun all day and the water heats up naturally.

JOJO
$2000.00 per couple
SteveH
After you pay the all inclusive there is very little cost. I took 100 in ones for tips and little purchases. I tipped the bar and Waite staff on and off throughout the week and believe me they were awesome. Rent a car if you plan on doing any tours or checking out rest of island. (Beware...Stay away from vacation club sales people at the airport offering rental cars they will get you a cheap rental car but you spend your vacation being sold a vacation time share. There is avis/ fox renta car etc. you can rent one from home just don't get the ins till you get there and it is 28.00 per day mandatory. Roads aren't bad and parking on road or only a couple of pesos. Everyone takes american money but don't too many bill over 20.00's take mostly smaller bills You will need some pesos for gas and coins for parking meters. Exchange rate varies everywhere from 11.5 to1.00 to 13.5 to 1.00 but since you only need pesos for gas etc you really don't worry to much about it. So that being said if you mostly stay at resort you need very little money, but if you wanna do tours check what there is online your interested in and you can find the price for that one. When buying items from straw markets haggle on prices the come way down when you walk away. Have a good trip

Resorts have the right to have limited availability on dining options and nightly entertainment during slow season when the guest count is low. There is no way to guarantee or confirm what will be available during your trip until you arrive. For further information, please call us at 1.800.915.2322.

For starters your dining options are inside "Laguna" restaurant or outside Tiki hut daily buffet which is horrible. Cold pasta with all entrees literally watered down from spaghetti sauce to boxed instant mashed potatoes.
The inside restaurant is great if you can ever get a reservation.

The only cost that goes unaccounted for is the taxi to get to and from the airport! It's only 10 minutes away and if you go through the hotel it's 96 pesos per person (about 6 dollars).

How is the beach area?4 answers
I stayed in Cancun last summer with my mother and was beyond disappointed in the beach area, which was the only thing I was looking forward to. Seaweed made the water a dirty green and wrapped itself around your legs. Rocks the size of my face prevented me from walking anywhere barefoot and my best friend twisted her ankle on these rocks. It was impossible to comfortably swim on the beach. So, my question is, are there many rocks in the water at this beach? Is the water nice? Is swimming here a safe option? Thanks in advance!

It has a serene beach with calm waters. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.
TimCC
Very Rocky beach, more rocks than sand. There is a reef that comes clear to the shoreline so you can snorkel, but VERY hard to get in and out of the water due to the large rocks. Not good for just playing around in the water
Wyomomof3
There are rocks in over half of the swimming area but they are easily avoided if you go into the ocean from the right side. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL water, night and day difference from the resort next door. Completely clear and beautiful sand, I stayed in there for at least 6 hours everyday.
zile
The great thing about El Cozumeleno is the beach is great they have a sea wall that keeps the water behind the resort crystal clear all of the beach on the island is coral reefs so a little pebbles at first then sand and the snorkeling is the best of any where on the island.

Ocean Tours is the name of the on site dive shop. This is their official site: https://www.cozumel-diving.net/oceantur/#.VzdxHfkrKUk
CCGreg
Yes, there is a dive shop! I don't know much about diving but I talked to a few during my stay and they said Cozumel is by far the best place to dive on the Western Hemisphere. There is a ton of information in the shop itself, and you are even able to be certified there.

What does "•Free entrance to Mr. Sancho's Beach Club" Mean?2 answers
The ad states "•Free entrance to Mr. Sancho's Beach Club"? Does this include any of the all inclusive features of Mr. Sancho's? Everywhere I read states that it is free to go to Mr. Sancho's regardless where you stay.

Mr. Texas
I am curious about this too. Can anyone shed some info on this? Thanks!
Ilovewater
While you do get Free Entrance to Mr Sancho's Beach Club, this does not include any of the all-inclusive features. The All Inclusive package or A la carte at the beach club comes at an additional cost.
JeannieCC
In talking to the locals about the beach clubs, entrance is free. You can also use the features of the beach clubs free. You only pay if you drink or eat. We walked through one while on vacation.

Is there any night life?3 answers
Is there anything to do as in clubs or dancing in the resort or close to the resort?

There aren't any clubs or discos on property, the nearest nightlife would be in downtown San Miguel. This location is more-so known for the snorkeling as opposed to the nightlife. However there is plenty to do here and nearby.
JeannieCC
There's no nightlife past 10pm at the resort , but you can easily taxi into town and go to a beach club or senior frogs that has night life . senior frogs was only $8 taxi ride and a short 10 min drive .

Not at el coz...only the lobby bar open till midnight, everything else done by 10pm. Not sure about off resort

All of the rates on our website tend to be based on double occupancy, however you can certainly book as a lone traveler. You can either put in for 1 person traveling, or you can call in to 800-915-2322 and select the prompt for making a new reservation to speak to our next available agent whom will be happy to assist with pricing.

Take one of your cats.

Yes. It is all included. Make sure to reserve at La Veranda restaurant. They take reservations at 8 am near the front desk and they go really fast.
Reef
Yes, but the food was stale an the liquor was all 15% alcohol. They're only allowed to make mixed drinks, so the drinks aren't strong at all. We spent alot of money eating off of the resort, we barely used the bar, and we never ate at the restaurant

Little to no night life and no club near by.
Spiderwire
There is NO nightlife at this resort!!!
No music.
No nighttime shows.
Bars close at midnight and the alcohol is diluted in the
Bottles beforehand I'm sure.
Only option is to can it in to downtown ($10), and pay for drinks ($$) at the bars.
FrequentBeacher
Downtown Cozumel is a cute scene, but definitely not an exciting nightlife. The strip is filled with bars and taco spots, but if I were 21, and looking for a more exciting vacation as oppose to relaxing, I would not stay in Cozumel. I would look elsewhere like Cancun or Cabo.
Mylle
Cozumel is Older group of people.. Its not a party island.. and there is no "night" life at this resort, its a quiet laid back place. If your looking for a Club or Party resort better check out Cancun.

Can we snorkeling right off the resort beach? What kind of fish we will see?5 answers
I stopped by Cozumel twice by cruise. I love snorkeling there. Plan to go back there for a week stay. So I am searching resort based on the criteria - I could snorkel everyday right off the beach (without paying snorkel trip) and be able to see all kind of fish. I am wondering if this resort is the right one??????
2 years, 29 months ago
Unites States
This resort is a great snorkeling resort that does allow this right on the beach off of the property. Use of the snorkeling equipment does come at an additional charge, but this would likely not be as expensive as a full trip. As for the type of fish, this can vary quite a bit. For more details, please contact the resort directly.
JeannieCC
Yes, free snorkeling right at the beach. Not sure the names of the fish.
Spiderwire
The snorkeling at El Cozumeleno is good but only if the wind is not out of the north or west. Also, the current is very strong once you venture out of the roped-off swim area. There is a lot of sand on this beach so when it gets wavy visibility goes down. Best snorkeling I found was along the seawall near Marina Banco Playa. Dzul Ha (near the Landmark hotel and Money Bar) is OK/good and Villablanca shallows was very easy to access. Las Casitas offers easy access and sunken ships. No matter where you stay, there is plenty of good snorkeling along the island's west side so don't limit yourself to just your hotel beach. Generally, the snorkeling will be better at a hotel with a seawall instead of a beach.
axcen28
Snorkeling is not offered at the resort. They offer jet-skis and parasailing, so you would have to book a snorkeling excursion.
Mylle
All sorts of fish, I dont know the names.. But there's always a stingray or 2 around. as well as some man made statues. for resort beach snorkeling is really good. But be sure to take a REAL snorkeling trip to make it worthwhile.. I recommend the Playa Mia trip.

This is something that comes at an additional cost, this can be added on at the time of booking or up to 48 hours prior to travel on an existing reservation.
JeannieCC
We did not have a pre-arranged shuttle but when you arrive at the airport, there is a ticket desk where you can purchase tickets for the shuttles to the hotels. It ended up being about $8 a person.
erb210
no, but you can get transportation at the airport to your resort and a taxi back to the airport, it is not expensive to do it that way. or you can get transportation when you book your trip with
Cheap Caribbean.
Go2Beach
We paid an additional fee for round-trip shuttle to and from the airport.
CaribbeanGal737
Yes. Offered in the package I got. However, I think the cab service from Airport to Resort would have been cheaper.

Hotel Description
Dive into El Cozumeleno Beach Resort, 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, hang out on the resort's pier or
opt for the three-level, free-form activities pool that includes a jetted
section and swim-up bar. Grab something to munch at the poolside snack
bar, and then relax under the highest tier behind a waterfall or in the
10-person hot 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.
On your way back to the hotel, 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
