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.

Wheelchair Access, Helpful Staff, Great Scenery
I was at the Occidental Cozumel from August 8 - 15, and overall, I was very pleased with the resort. Due to a spinal cord injury I use a manual wheelchair. We (mom and I) were assigned to room #1914, which in spite of having a large, roll-in shower, did NOT have a shower seat I could sit on. There is a nice roll-under sink in the bathroom. The toilet is only 16" floor to seat, so it's a little lower than ADA height, plus the toilet stall is narrow and it was difficult to position my wheelchair for transfers. Other than these shortcomings, the room was very nice and comfortable.
The resort itself is very pretty - situated on a nature reserve with lots of animals and beautiful tropical foliage. A concrete path runs from the registration area all the way to the swimming pool adjacent to the beach, so it is very easy to get from one end of the resort to the other. From building #19 it took us about five minutes to roll up to the breakfast buffet, and it is probably about the same distance over to the swimming pool / beach. There is an adults-only pool closer to building #19, but we wanted to be able to see the beach so we always went over to the bigger swimming pool.
I found the staff to be incredibly attentive and helpful, especially Alberto (the General Manager of the Occidental), Gabriel (manager of food and beverage services), Nadia, Gabriella, a bell-boy named Jesus was also very good, and we also liked the beach lifeguard, Alex.
The Occidental is about 20 minutes from downtown San Miguel, so we took a cab down three days to do some photography tours with Tati Biermas, a photographer who teaches people how to improve their photography skills while sightseeing / learning about the island. Each time it cost us around $15 each way (the price depends on the exchange rate) for the cab.
Mom and I liked the fact that the Occidental is doing its part to conserve resources. There are recycling receptacles throughout the resort, and they even do little things - like not provide straws in drinks - to try to cut down on waste.
The only thing I wish the Occidental would work to improve is its food at the buffets. It was not uncommon to find hot food (eggs, potatoes, pasta) that had steam coming off of it, yet it was barely warm when I put it in my mouth after carrying it to my table. I would never identify myself as "a foodie", but even I thought a lot of what I ate lacked taste and was just mediocre, at best.
Occidental has a beautiful ocean view with the swimming pool overlooking the beach. The service was great, but the room we stayed in had some ants. Other than that, we had a great experience for our first time in Cozumel!

Fantastic Vacation
The Occidental in Cozumel has beautiful grounds. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfy. There have been some improvements over the past years such as the cooled enclosure added to the restaurant by the beach for lunch buffet and Seafood Restaurant in the evenings was a big plus. The staff at the resort were all friendly and helpful. The beach and pools were always clean and appealing. This is our 3rd stay at the Occidental Cozumel over several years and we will go back.

This was an awesome resort for lizard watching! My husband and I looked out of our window every morning to find them hiding in the trees! We also found them "posing for photo ops" all over the resort grounds during the day.

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.
4 years, 56 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

Walk out the door to the right, follow the exit road and take a taxi on the other side of the roundabout.
Diver713
Use trip advisor and follow those instructions. Transfers thru this site were $90.00 per person. We walked out and got a cab for $20.00 to the hotel. Same when we left. Th hotel called and it was like $18.00 for two people.

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.
knaas1228
You will need water shoes, many shells and rocks

You can walk directly in the water. This beach and the Allegro have the best beaches I have seen on Cozumel

The town and night life are like 5 minutes down the street. From the airport you pass this going to the resort. Also If you keep going, away from town, there are 2 great restaurants: Playa Bonita ( best cerviche!!!) and Coconuts! I highly recommend both

Katyite
It's about a 28.00 cab rid away. 10 to 15 minutes.

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.

About 25 minutes to town. We rented a jeep for the day and toured the entire island. I would highly recommend doing this.

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.

Yes, it's on property. They take you for three reefs. The best one we found was just 2 min away from the property.

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: 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!
