Stayed here over July 4, 03. Staff were professional, quick, and courteous. Rooms were average size with cold A/C. Rooms cleaned every day. Great pool! Food was very good and buffet at all three meals was large, plus they would take special ala carte orders! Get the all inclusive. Drinks all covered! Beach was on small side but great area for snorkeling and scuba. Close to the moderm mall and downtown square.
Rent a jeep and see the island. Would definitely stay here again!

Brisas was very lovely - much more than I expected! Friendly staff, very convenient to town, great restaurant/bar area down by the beach.
Beds were a little hard, but they put those eggcrate type foam pads on them so it helps. Our second time in Cozumel and first time at Brisas - would definitely stay there again!

My husband and I just got back from Cozumel. We stayed at Brisas for 7 nights and had a GREAT time. The hotel is very nice and the food was great too. We witnesses one old lady complaining about something - but that lady was just rude and mean and complained about everything - it was fun to watch her though. There was nothing wrong with what she complained about... You always will find those types of people who like to complain for no reason.

About the hotel: The location is PERFECT! It is a nice short walk to downtown and it is a 5 minute walk to the nearest grocery store where all the locals shop (it is on the way to downtown) and there you will find a bottle of vanilla for 60 cents when they charge you $6 for it in the market or downtown!! Just a hint!

The diving spot is great too. We did snorkeled but definitely will get dive certified and come back next year and stay at Brisas again! The snorkeling there is great as well. We did all inclusive program and the drinks and food were great. We ate on the beach, drank, and had a great time. The rooms were clean and AC and draining everything worked just fine. We are not people who stay in the room when we go on vacation - we spent the time outside... We rented a scooter at hotel (bargain with the guy and he will give you a better rate - he dropped 15 dollars on our rent of scooter for 2 full days). We drove around the island, went to see the ruins (there are several of them but the only ones off the road that goes through downtown are the best), we took a ferry to go to Playa de Carmen and went to Tulum ruins, Senor Frogs was a lot of fun on the weekend! During the week it was kind of empty. At the hotel we met a lot of nice people. We snorkeled at night, got to touch an octopus, saw huge lobsters, star fish and of course we saw tons of gorgeous underwater world at all the beaches we snorkeled at.

I will definetely stay at Brisas again. The staff was very friendly, the live band was great! We had a blast!

We recommend it 100%!

I have to admit that I was getting a little worried about staying at the Brisas in Cozumel. Just got back and would definitely stay there again. The rooms and maid service were great, no smells and they even spray for bugs on a regular basis (tho, I never saw any in the room or had any problem with bugs on the back deck facing the spectular pool). The pool is surrounded in several places by a 3" or so drop for just sitting in, etc. Several suntanned while lying in the water. Each day brought new surprises and entertainment from the staff. The Beach Party on Friday night was a blast! However, if you go, you might want to take extra shorts and underwear for one of the games. It is very legitament, families were there, no need to worry. Bay Adventures scheduled all the details for us and Felix did a wonderful job. We dove with Dive Adventure and they also did a great job. Especially Nacho and Luis, thanks guys! The food at Brisas was fabulous every day and the manager went out of his way each day to speak to us and ask for suggestions or comments. The very nice lady that cleaned our room every day brought us flowers the day after we gave her a $5.00 tip. I only wish I had given her more, she was a great person. The bar by the pool was the best for every afternoon after diving and made great Rum Runners. The only negative I would make about Brisas would be that breakfast was very busy and they should have two egg lines ready at 7AM as all divers are lined up to go in by 6:45 as boat left about 8AM, most of the time. They did put in another egg area before we left, but they still needed to be ready to go at 7. We had the fast boats most of the time which meant we arrived at most all divesites before the "slow boats" - groups of ten or more. One day our fast boat had only 4 divers besides my husband and I and one day we were the only two but most days we had about 6 divers. Night dive was not too good because there were too many divers on the same site, probably three boats. Not much night life was seen by anyone. On the fast boats, be sure to watch how tanks are tied in as I had one fall on my foot, but I was able to keep on diving, so all was well. Good luck with your own adventure as ours - our 25th Wedding anniversary was the best! Thank you to Primas downtown for the best dinner ever - if you ever see Seafood Lasagne on the menu there, order it. You will not be disappointed. The new Carlos 'N Charlies location was just as much fun as the old one, had a great time with complete strangers that loved to party. Until our next trip in Cozumel, good luck to all!Jeanie Johnstone Wichita, KS
