My sister and I stayed at the Coral Princess for one night in cozumel and really enjoyed the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. We booked through Orbitz and got a good rate. The hotel is very close to the downtown area and about a $3-5 cab ride depending on who you ask. You can always bargain with them.

One more thing, make sure you bring enough toiletries and other necessities beforehand. We ran out of toothpaste and ended up paying $8 (USD) for a tube of Colgate at the hotel gift shop. Scary.

My husband and I stayed here 10/23/07 - 10/30/07 and didn't want to leave to come home! Booked online with expedia and had an ocean view room with king sized bed. Room was spot-less, no bugs (as referred to in some other reviews). Had a mini-fridge in the room for soda and juice - a safe in the closet for valuables. The staff was just the best - can't say enough about the doorman Pedro, concierge Choncita and tour planner Andres. They were all wonderful and catered to our every need. Great snorkeling right in front of the hotel (be careful of the currents). We went there primarily to scuba dive but the weather at the start of our week was too rough to dive in so only dove 2 days at the end of our week with Pepe Scuba which is right at the hotel. They were great - Abdias was a fabulous dive master - pointed out lots of little things we might have missed on our own. The diving is the best ever - water is warm (85 degrees) and the visiblity is at least 100 ft. Definately rent a car or jeep and drive to the other side to the island - the beaches are pristine. Coconuts was fun for lunch. Had great quesadillas at Los Otates in town. San Gervasio ruins are interesting and worth a visit. Also took the ferry to the mainland and toured Chichen Itza (a long all day tour but worth it). Caves at Aktun Chen on the mainland are interesting to see also. We've taken alot of vacations but this was without a doubt the best. We've already made our plans to return in May for our anniversary.

Usually we book a package trough US-AIR and stay in a hotel room we have probably stayed at the Coral Princess 10X. The food and service was always good. We generally had no problems. In 2005 we purchased a timeshare the time share unit we stayed in had MUCHO maintance problems. We shared our room at least some time each day, during our two week stay with friendly but incompetent maintenance people. In desperation I solved several problems myself and made other suggestions. The hotel is a electrical nightmare. The staff at the front desk and manager nodded and smiled a lot but were of little help. When we purchased we found out later that we were only given part of the documents (TOTALLY ILLEGAL) but your in Mexico. After the building was damaged by a storm they charged us a extraordinary fee, of $150.00 to each member, which was never authorized by the membership committee. (Totally Illegal). Annual increases are supposed to be based on the prior years US-CPI which has been in the 3% range for many years. The company comptroller has been increasing annul charges at 5% per year. After my complaint, for 2006 he dropped the percent to a almost legal amount . Sounds like a very competent comptroller, or .fast learner, after cheating the members for so many years. RENT DON”T BUY.

We stayed at the Coral Princess Sept 1st - 8th. Some friends of ours invited us to go as their "time share" guest. We travel to Cozumel every year and usually stay at an all inclusive called the Allegro (also stayed at the Reef Club once). You can't really compare the two hotels because they are totally different and it just depends on what you are looking for. The Coral Princess is much smaller then the Allegro, but the suites are huge and VERY nice at the Coral Princess. We had an ocean view and we love to snorkle which I would say is the hilight of this hotel. They don't have a real beach, so when you get into the ocean you walk down some stairs into about 10 to 12 foot of water. Lots of fish to see. The food is pretty good for breakfast and lunch, but never really found anything appealling for dinner. Don't try the pizza, YUCK!!! We went into town for dinner most nights. I HIGHLY reccommend the fish tacos for lunch (the best EVER!). We ate them almost every day for lunch and you just don't get sick of them. The fajita nachos are good too. If you have children I would reccommend going to the Allegro. We don't have kids but we really like the Allegro because it has a great beach, volley ball, and water polo. The drinks are expensive at the Coral Princess (between $6 and $7 for most). The staff was great and we really enjoyed our stay. This is a much more relaxing quite place to stay then the Allegro. I don't reccommend the Reef Club AT ALL. Food was horrible, staff was rude and not helpful. I reccomend the Coral Princess or the Allegro depending on what your looking for. Hope this is helpful!!!
