Arrived at the resort around one in the afternoon. Were greeted with drinks at the door and allowed to check in to one of our two rooms as the other was not yet cleaned. It appeared that all rooms were Ocean front but if you up grade your room will be overlooking the pool area very nice. Only thirty dollars... More

We just returned from our 12th visit to the El Cozumeleno Resort and we were not disappointed. As previously mentioned by others, some of the buffets were not the best, but breakfast and lunch off the menu made up for them. I was greatly impressed with the increased number of wait staff at the resort, as this adds to the... More

They said they had stayed at other spots in Cozumel and this was the best. My wife and I agreed. Great food, awesome tropical environment, snorkeling everyday, ( the water is so calm,... More

Just back from our visit to El Cozumeleno. We agree with a lot of the reviews that have been written. Mixed reviews really do sum up this resort. We have stayed at six resorts in the Playa del Carmen area so we compared this resort to the other resorts we've stayed at that had the same rating/pricing. 1.) Most of... More

We love the place. Staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful. Rooms large and comfortable and clean. The snorkeling is right outside the hotel and in shallow enough waters that even non swimmers can enjoy the fish. There are 2 major downsides; if there was a 3.5 star rating, that's what I'd give the place because the food is VERY iffy.... More
