As for the main features of the beaches of Cozumel island, they are as follows:
The vast majority of Cozumel island beaches have the necessary amenities, such as sun loungers, umbrellas, beach cafes, showers and toilets.
We had a pleasant time at the beach, enjoying snorkeling and the excellent service. The fish and shrimp tacos were delicious. However, it is important to note that bringing cash is advisable. Our food and drink bill, which was initially $85 in US dollars, ended up being $155 when charged to my credit card. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it as I had signed for the transaction in pesos. If you plan on using a card, make sure to check the exchange rate beforehand to avoid any surprises. It turned out to be a rather costly day, which was unexpected considering how positively I felt about it initially.
This resort is perfect for a tranquil vacation, offering a cozy and private atmosphere. It's not all inclusive, which I personally appreciate if you're not into drinking. The resort is well-maintained and pleasant, with excellent housekeeping. The location is fantastic, with a beautiful and extensive shoreline for snorkeling.
The beach offers of stunning views and pristine waters that are crystal clear. Admission to the beach is complimentary, but visitors are required to order food from the restaurant, with a minimum order of $10 per person. We indulged in some delicious food and found it to be quite satisfying. However, we did notice that the parking attendant expected a gratuity, and the beach beds came with an additional fee. Despite these minor inconveniences, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beach and would highly recommend it to others.
This location is truly a paradise on earth. The water is shallow and crystal clear with a mesmerizing turquoise hue, and the bottom is covered with soft white sand. As you explore, you'll encounter graceful stingrays gliding through the water and starfish scattered throughout the area. It's an ideal spot to capture stunning selfies and landscape photos, but be sure to take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking scenery and immerse yourself in the tranquil water. In my opinion, this is the most exceptional water in the entire Cancun/Riviera Maya/Cozumel region. While the quality of your experience may vary depending on the tour company you choose, you can count on the same remarkable experience at this location regardless of which tour you book.
We had a pleasant 5-day stay at the beach and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Juan and Sarah provided exceptional customer service, being attentive to our needs. However, it would have been even better if there was a wider range of food options available for meals. The bonfire experience was fantastic, offering lots of fun, and we also indulged in two spa days, which were quite enjoyable.
