We just got back from Cozumel and one of the highlights of the trip was our stay at the Presidente Hotel & Spa. I have been to many 5 star hotels all over the world and this one ranks among the best. This is definetly the best hotel in Cozumel and I would highly recommend this place. The rooms are very nice and clean and the ocean view rooms are well worth the money. The grounds and property are very clean and there is always staff working on the property. The two pools are very nice and there was never a big crowd so it was very pleasant. The staff at the hotel was very helpful and they were always there if you needed anything.

I plan on staying at this hotel on all my trips to Cozumel and I would highly recommend it for a great vacation!!

Had a great time at the Presidente last month. The hotel is a beautiful, if pricey, facility a few miles south of town. We were greeted at reception with cool drinks (and the typical attempt at getting us to attend a time share promotion) and then wisked off to our emaculate room overlooking the channel. The room was spacious and clean.

The beach is a broad, man made, band of white sand generously populated with beach chairs and palapas. The beach is built over the exposed rocky outcropping of the Mayan Reef. Three short piers reach out into the ocean providing easy access to the water. The reef itself is not all that spectacular, probably heavily damaged by Hurricane Wilma, but the rocks are swarming with tropical fish. On the south end is small wreck in about 20 feet of water that is a fish magnet.

Food at the resort was excellent. In the main restaurant, they plied us with small samples of hors'd oeuvres and desserts. We had room service several times and the service was quick, the waiters set a nice table, and the food was as good as at the restaurant.

The only complaint was that at times an unpleasant odor came from the bathroom, but the room did have an ozone generator to combat that minor issue. It was not an issue.

One day we went into town, a colorful small city brimming with jewelry shops. The last day we drove around the island, spending time at the Punta Sur Ecological Park with its lagoons, herons, buzzards, and crocodiles. Massive waves break on the Atlantic shore.

Overall we had a great stay.

-Beautiful and very clean!
-Great location on the southern side of the Island.
-Perfect access to snorkeling at anytime!
-Great views at the beach bar/restaurant (They serve the best margaritas!) great food too!
-Highly recommended!
-Definitely will be back again!

This was a fantastic trip of snorkeling, laying at the beach, dining out at authentic restaurants, and walking around the beautiful streets. For the best experience, i recommend staying at this resort for no more that 4 or 5 days. After about 6 days I was tired of experiencing the same things everyday. The service and features were great and everything, but after a while one is in need of a new atmosphere and such.
