My husband and I, my daughter , her husband and baby went to El Coz for 8 days in the middle of Oct. We had a blast doing nothing. The theme nights were alot of fun. The food was pretty good. The La Veranda was wonderful. The menu was a little different every night and the atmosphere was very elegant. The buffets and the theme night food was pretty good. I am a very picky eater and I was able to find food on the bars that I liked. The pool area is out of this world and so relaxing. The workers were always friendly and helpful.
The only complaint I had was that we had asked for the North tower and when we got there the north tower was being renovated so we were on the 3rd floor of the south tower. The rooms were nice and clean and the maid was very good at keeping the sheets changed and new towels everyday.
The minature golf was closed due to the renovation on the north tower and we were a little disappointed but there was still alot to do.
The theme nights were alot of fun and the entertainers were very good at getting the audience involved.
I would recommend this resort to anyone that was interested in Cozumel. It is very close to town and the taxi ride into town is only 5 dollars.
I would definately go back in fact am going back the same time next year. The weather was perfect and the resort was not overly crowded.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was at El Cozumeleno. My wife and I honeymooned at El Coz for nine days in mid September. From the moment we arrived we were impressed with the level of customer service exhibited by the entire staff.

We read with anxiety the many reviews of bad food on TA but were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was at the buffet, off the menu, at the nicer restaurant, and with room service.

Our room was large, comfortable, and clean. The view from the balcony was fantastic.

The shows and entertainment were impressive and enjoyable. The snorkeling in front of the hotel is as good as everyone describes. We saw rays, fish of all kinds, and an eel.

We recommend El Coz without any reservation and would certainly go back.

We visited El Coz October 24-October 28th this was our second time and our friends first experience. As always we had a wonderful time. The weather was mostly Windy when we were there so the snorkeling was not the best those days...but the last day we did snorkel there at the resort and like last time just amazing....angel fish, rays, flounders...etc....
Food was always good needless to say we always found something to eat.....If you do visit the buffet in the morning or at Lunch ask for Edit she was wondeful and delightful.....
Sure some foods were better than others and we are picky eaters but were satisified with the food...the drinks were good too...we managed to stay "happy" on the drinks we did have.
The rooms were wonderful and perfect...we were in 1103 & 1105 in the south tower ground floor and was just out from the pool area had amazing views as well.....no complaints on the rooms at all always clean and fresh and very roomy.
If you want to do excursions see only "Manuel" in the yellow shirt he will guide you to whatever you want. We decided to rent a jeep for 24 hours for $55 plus $25 insurance...we took this to other side of the island...this is a must so beautiful to see we truly enjoyed the jeep.....driving around was safe and fun.
Of course the Fury Cateraman is a must too the atmosphere is fun and the 2 reefs you snorkel at are amazing.
If anyone has any questions please email me at clcrounse@embarqmail.com....
Have no doubts Cozumel and the El Cozumeleno is worth every penny.

We stayed at this resort for 10 nights. It is very family oriented, loved the kids club great thanks to Mr. Russ and Mrs. Mildred and Mrs. Martha at the front desk she does great with the kids. The only issue i have with this place is the food . If you are staying more than a couple of days have other dinner arrangement's. The miniture golf was closed while we were there and so was the outside buffet. There was always something to do. We used Lomas Travel our experience with them was really bad,so i advise you to be cautious if you use them. If we ever stay in Cozmel again we will stay here. Also hello to the great folks we meet from Hot Springs, Ar.

This is a nice hotel for families. We had a garden view room which opened out to the mini golf course. A great location due to the fact we have a nine year old that played golf the whole time we were there. The room was nice and the showers are huge.

The food was just average, normal buffet fare. We didn't attend the themed dinners.

The drinks were great and we had excellent bar staff. Jose is a great guy.

Over all we enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back in June of 08.
