For those longing for dreamy days lounging in a laid-back beach paradise, then head to Cozumel's sandy shores, known for long, walkable stretches and eclectic corals beneath the waters. It's true what you've heard - this is a diver's dream. But if snorkeling is more your style, then you'll have plenty of colorful creatures to see. You might pack your underwater camera and capture all the snaps you can.

Great island getaway!
We have stayed on the island 4 different years for a week each time. The Occidental is the only resort we have stayed at more than once! We love the way the site is set up with animals living all around the property! The staff does a great job keeping the place clean and yet being surrounded by trees and plants everywhere! The food is great with seafood selection at every meal if you wish! Diving is convenient with the best sites just minutes away with Prodive right on location. The only thing I would like different is the addition of stand up paddleboards for use with the resort stay. We will definitely stay here again!
The food at the buffet was lukewarm at best and caused much gastric discomfort. Resort is focused on selling "timeshare" not the current guest needs or requests. We booked a single king bed room and we were given a 2 full size bed room. We couldn't sleep together. Not much sleep to speak of. I'm 6'-4" and really a full size bed! Anyway it was warm and many very attentive wait staff, help for the most part very friendly.
i originally read reviews on this resort and thought to myself, it can't be this bad... but trust me it was ROUGH!!!
If you must stay here (please DON'T) you have got to stay on the ROYAL LEVEL--that was the only saving grace. The Royal Level has unlimited wifi and 24 hr room service and a royal level restaurant... but outside of that this place is a HUGE MISS!!
FOOD: breakfast at the buffet was the best meal... every other meal at every single restaurant was MUSHY & DISGUSTING!!!!! like i really wish there was a McDonald's/Fridays/Olive Garden/Chipotle/ANYTHING ELSE nearby because the food at this resort was horrible... and i mean BAD!!! even the pizza was bad---and how do u mess up pizza?!?! ... and then most of the bars ran out of fruits for drinks---no pineapple, watermelon, or limes... SMH... oh and you have to even get up super early to try to make reservations for these restaurants--so you're standing in a line to reservation to eat horrible food.... what an EPIC FAIL!!!! so most times we ended up ordering burgers or turkey sandwiches from room service smh...
POOL/BEACH: lots of seaweed all over the beach... you can tell it's not cleaned everyday. it just looks and even smells dirty. and the bar that's by the pool--like there's a stinch in that region that makes you not even want to order a drink. like i'll never forget that smell... felt like i needed to spray that Glade Hawaiian Breeze or something to clear the atmosphere lol... the resort also needs better LIGHTING!!! bc once the evening hits you can barely see a thing!!!! and the sound of the wild animals mixed with the complete darkness is like a horror movie...
ENTERTAINMENT: where was it?!?!?!!? they had some corny random guy one night telling really bad jokes to a crowd of 5 people... like where is the dancing/music/something?!?!?!
STAFF: some of the staff was ok but everyone is clueless... and beware of the timeshare scammers!!!! i mean RUN from them... they will try to have u sitting in a 2-3 hour timeshare pitch. and also make sure you go to the correct excursion desk. there are men that stand around and have on badges as if they work for the resort--THEY DON'T!!! they will set up faulty excursions for you!!!! DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!
EXCURSIONS: if it had not been for excursions OFF this property we definitely would have left early!!! if in cozumel you must go snorkeling because the water is soooooo beautiful and amazing!!!!! prettiest water i've ever seen in my life (and i travel A LOT!!!) ... we also did ATVs--it was ok, i've definitely done better atv tours/excursions in other countries.
altogether cozumel is really really beautiful!! but this resort is a BIG NO NO!!!! save your money and go somewhere else!!!!

Fantastic vacation oasis
My daughter and I had the most amazing time at this resort! Every year during Spring Break, both her and I travel to a new beach resort destination.
The Occidental in Cozumel didn't disappoint and in most cases, exceeded our expectations.
The grounds are pristine. Very tropical and lush oasis, with various wildlife to enjoy and share our adventure.
The staff is the most hospitable and friendly staff we've ever experienced. We took advantage of several of the activities offered and Oscar was absolutely fabulous to work with. He went over and above to make certain we had a great time.
We enjoyed snorkeling, Cozumel is a great place to do so as the waters are calm and clear.
After all day at the beach, we relaxed in a very comfortable, well stated room. Which was always stocked with enough free bottled water.
If you are looking for a beautiful, relaxing vacation this is an excellent choice. The Mojito's are the best I have ever had! The food however, is average but we really enjoyed the grilled hamburgers on the beach.
We cried when we had to leave. We are definitely returning very soon.

occidental grand cozumel is the answer
steleehin
Occidental Grand Cozumel has it all for kids, lizards everywhere, great beach, lush grounds........you won't regret this resort if you have kids.
OCGqueen
Absolutely the Occidental Grand Cozumel. Animals abound on land and in the water. You can't walk to the restaurants or the beach without seeing some kind of critter.
We saw lizards, iguanas, small birds, a cat and kittens, javelinas, turtles, an alligator, frogs, large sand crabs and hermit crabs. In the water we saw various tropical fish, an eagle ray, a lobster, and a barracuda. Our kids loved it!
Ava86
Occidental Grand has a lot of wildlife on the grounds. Many large iguanas! We met turtles wandering around and a couple of tarantulas. There were also geckos near the buildings. Down by the mangroves you can view a caiman from the foot bridge and lots of turtles and ducks. We saw a lot of birds including wild parrots and one day we spotted a javelina grazing below our balcony!
DiverDiva
we saw some lizzards but you can't walk in the mangrove just on the pathways.

Is there good beach snorkeling?9 answers
We want to know how far this resort is from Palancar reef. Can we snorkel right from the beach and see enough fish and other sea life.
5 years, 64 months ago
Squeeky
The Occidental Grand Cozumel is located on Playa San Francisco (it is actually along a private section of Cozumel's famed beach). There is snorkeling at the resort--the San Francisco Wall is located just off its shore; however, that may be best explored with diving equipment. If the snorkeling at the resort is not up to your standards, you are located just North of the Palancar Reef.
LaurenCC
It is a short boat ride to good snorkeling sections of the reef from the hotel. The hotel has a nice sandy beach that you can also snorkel from and see plenty of fish.
Luce
Depends on the wind/weather. You are very close to the reef but the week we were there (2nd week of Feb) the winds were out of the south and it kept the water pretty stirred up close to shore. The diving was still great at most sites but snorkeling was terrible due to poor visibility and choppy water.
DiverDiva
no you can't snorkel right from the beach it is too cloudy
mamma
There is limited snorkeling just off the beach, but you can not get to the reef directly from the beach. There are many snorkeling trips that will pick you up and bring you back to the hotel pier. you can sign up for these after you arrive. There is always room.
DiveJim
Yes you will see fish :) right from the beach and palancar reef is about 20 minutes from the resort and is beautifully you will enjoy.
Oreal
We enjoyed to snorkeling from the beach. You could not snorkel out so far as a reef, but there were lots of fish and additional sea life at times.
The dive shop offered snorkeling tours for $40 a person for 2-3 hours with a couple of location stops that might be appealing.
Dudley
You can snorkel from the beach only within the roped off area, many boats in and out of the dock. There was nothing to see but a few fish now and then.
Joylon
Palancar reef is very close, but you have to take a boat (money for excursion). Snorkeling on the resort's beach is fair

From our website::
BEACH
The Occidental Grand Cozumel is set in a secluded nature preserve on the southern side of Cozumel on a private section of Cozumel's finest beach, Playa San Francisco. Chaise lounges and beach towel services are included.
Whether or not you would need footwear would be a personal preference. You can contact the resort directly by going to their website at
https://www.occidentalhotels.com/resort/occidental-grand-cozumel
and using the "contact us" link at the top to find out exactly what you are looking for. Thank you.
RobinCC
Swimming is right off the beach. It is only 4- 5 feet deep for 3 or 4 yards so lots of people just stand or float off of the shoreline with their drinks in hand, and hats and sunglasses on. :)
We did not require water footwear, there is an area of a foot or so were the coral washes up on the sand and it is slightly uncomfortable to walk through but not awful by any stretch. The water is sandy bottomed.
76876
yes the beach is right off the pool. walk right up to the pool from the beach,rinse your feet and hop on in
honeymooner520
Yes. Swimming is good right on the beach with soft sandy beach and no shoes required.
Vice
The beach is a little rougher than Cancun. Since there are many reefs there are a lot of shells and such. Pretty sandy but there is weed/algae a ways out. i would recommend water shoes.
lauraloca
There is swimming right off the beach, and a pool beachside. I didn't need footwear, but you might want to bring fins and a snorkel. There are fish out there.

Just south of the resort (short walk on the beach) is Albertos. Live music and great food and drink. No need to go to town for a wild time. There is also a disco with a great dj on the property. While we were at the resort it was rocking. All depends on the crowd.

There is a dive shop on the property. DivePro Mexico. 10% discount if you book early. We didn't love them. Watch them. They tried to cheat us on some stuff. Make sure you have batteries for your flashlight, and if you want to do a night dive, bring your own glow sticks for your tank. $6 rental for a tank blinker. The divemasters were great, esp. Benjamin. The reefs are close. No shore diving.
knaas1228
Literally right next door, as in walk out of the restaurant and look to your left, there it is. They were great to work with.
if you are a first time diver: count on showing up at 8 for a lesson in the "classroom" and a trial lesson in the pool to learn the equipment then you're free until 1, the boat ride out is about 30 minutes? then 2 45 minutes dives and you're done by 4/430. count on it taking up most of the day but WELL WORTH IT. saw so much aquatic life, it was truly amazing.

Be careful renting scooters/bikes. We always rent approx $30 day or $100 for 4 days. You need to be extremely careful because even though it's never happened to us, we hear about it happening alot to other guest. Police stop resort guests and threaten to take to jail or pay $100 now, and people are so scared they pay. It's fun on scooters/bikes but be safe!

Genuine concern after reading some of the reviews3 answers
I am a little uncomfortable after reading the reviews. Can anyone confirm:
1. Are there time limits on water activities like snorkeling and kayaking?
2. Is there a timeshare sales-pitch that i will be pressured into attending?
3. Is it difficult to get reservations at one of the sit down restaurants?
4. Do you need to wait a long time to get your beverages?
I am thinking of booking the last week of May, 2017 but am really scared after some of the reviews.
Thanks!
1 year, 12 months ago

1: Limits on activities depend on the resort and occupancy levels, please contact them directly for information for your dates of travel.
2: Resorts often offer timeshare presentations as the sale of these is generally what makes it easy to keep their rates so low. You are not required to attend, however.
3: Reservation availability is entirely dependent on dates of travel, occupancy levels, etc so this can vary. You can discuss reservations at the time of check-in to try to get the best times for you.
4: Wait time on beverages again also depends upon occupancy levels, busyness, etc. Unfortunately there's no way to accurately predict this as it can vary.
JeannieCC
1. Snorkeling and Kayaking have a one hour time limit each day.
2. We encountered a sales pitch at the airport that we got deceived into - never again. We were approached once at the beginning of our stay at Occidental to get a "Welcome gift" and declined and they never asked again.
3. You need to set up your reservations each day beginning at 8:30. We never had a problem getting a reservation and generally tried around 9:00 each day.
4. The pool bar does have the longest lines and the drinks were not great but we did not have a big problem with the wait.
The resort is a great place and has a very relaxed atmosphere. We had read a few bad reviews but were pleasantly surprised when we arrived!
SunLovin4
1. An hour is free on snorkeling gear, I paid $14 to have it for half a day.
2. You can avoid the sales pitch, they aren't too pushy.
3. Reservations were easy to get for us. You just talk to three front desk in the morning. We went in off season though, may be harder if it's more crowded.
4. Beverages were fast and good!
