Cozumel offers hotels and resorts with man-made attractions to accentuate its inherently natural beauty. With resorts blending completely with the tropical surroundings, local decor, and luxurious extras reflecting a rich culture, Cozumel is the perfect vacation paradise. We've compiled a list of some of the top resorts Cozumel has to offer.
Cozumel Palace
This oceanfront resort is ideal for families and couples, a place that caters to divers and snorkelers alike with transparent waters full of iridescent sea life. Ocean fun gives way to an outdoor marvel consisting of pools, swim-up bars, and poolside lounges. Rooms feature whirlpool tubs and balconies that enjoy ocean views seen from swinging hammocks. Four restaurants, activities for kids, a relaxing spa, and contemporary decor complete the long list of attractive amenities, but don't forget to visit the dolphinarium for a swim with trained dolphins.
Melia Cozumel
Activity-focused vacations mean hitting the 18-hole golf course a street away from the resort. Distract the kids and your other half with the kids' club or the Santa Pilar beach, an idyllic place to enjoy the sun, or head for downtown San Miguel, an 8-minute drive away. Rooms are spacious, equipped with contemporary decor, furnished balconies, and minibars. The amenities surpass the norm, delivering casual elegance, two pools, a spa and fitness center, four restaurants, and a scattering of lively bars.
Presidente Cozumel Resort Spa
Set on a sandy beach, fun and relaxation go hand-in-hand here at this resort. Two large pools and two lighted tennis courts, a putting green, and oceanside spa huts, match fun with relaxation. Speaking of relaxation, it's the Mandara Spa that's the center attraction here. Unique programs for kids encourage educational activities that combine cultural aspects with fun. Meanwhile, the three restaurants and the trendy cocktail lounge give way to sleep in standard rooms or luxury slumber in suites fitted with bedding made from Egyptian cotton.
El Cozumeleño Beach Resort
Seen as a mid-range resort, there are an astounding five swimming pools at the El Cozumeleño. Fill out this already heady feature-set with swim-up bars, a dive center, a mini golf course, restaurant, and snack bar. Rooms are bright, accented in wood, with bathrooms offering marble fittings. Every room has a balcony and an ocean view. Step off the property and you find yourself walking on a sandy beach. A golf course is located across the street, and further to the south lies the town of San Miguel. History buffs have the option to discover the mysterious past in nearby Mayan ruins.
Hotel B Cozumel
Immediately spotting an infinity pool, traditional Mexican decor, and a beautiful man-made beach, guests arrive at this resort ready to have fun. Snorkeling is encouraged in the natural bay below the hotel, while a spa and yoga class keeps your body toned after lazing all day on a cabana bed. A chic bar, ocean view rooms, and a seafood restaurant make the hotel a tempting proposition. The rooms are tastefully decorated with traditional Mexican accents designed to complete the illusion that you're in a turn-of-the-century vacation spot.
