Jun 22 to 28th I stayed at the Bahia. The hotel was very comfortable and I enjoyed my my stay. The rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable. But mostly I was impressed with the staff. I will never forget the incident. I had been in conversation with a friend while unlocking my door. After entering a few minutes past and a knock came to my door. I thought it was my friend forgetting something. To my surprise it was a hotel maid holding $50 out to me to take. Nothing was said a but I knew I had dropped it and she was returning the money to its rightful owner. I was very much impressed with this integrity and honesty. We so often, in the USA, think of Mexico as being a place to be concerned with safety. But I have found nothing but the opposite on each visit. I wish I could feel as safe at home as I do when I visit Cozumel.

We just got back from a week in Cozumel for a Scuba diving vacation, and stayed at Suites Bahia for the third time in 4 years. We keep coming back, because the prices can't be beat for that location! Great Chinese restaurant across the street (Chi), all shops and restaurants nearby, only blocks from the square. We never had to take a cab to get to anything else! The rooms are plain but very nice and clean. Excellent maid service every day. King size bed and ocean view for $78 plus tax, with large TV with satellite feed (english and spanish channels), full size fridge in room, comfortable sitting room, closet with lots of room for clothes. The staff was always friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable, with perfectly serviceable english. The computer in the lobby for internet use was a little old, but served its purpose. Breakfast included every morning was brought over from Casa Mexicana, included juice, coffee and tea, amazing pastries, fresh fruit, and toast. Overall, just a wonderful place to stay to be close to everything, and at a great price.

Location is terrific, just a couple of blocks from the main square with, close enough to stumble home, but far enough that the noise isn't there. Barebones room. Sheets, towels and cable TV. That's it folks. Air conditioning worked like a charm. If you are looking for the Motel 6 of Cozumel, this is it. Clean, comfortable, enough of a breakfast to wake you up. For the value seeker, I would highly recommend this location. If you're looking for soap/shampoo, you might need to go to hotel with one more star.

I stayed at the suites bahia in early Dec '05. My room had a balcony on the side street calle 3. It was a simple room, but was very clean and super convenient (right on the waterfront...across the street). I chose this location because it was handy for a week of diving. The dive boat picked me up each morning on the dive pier right in front of the hotel! There was fruit, bread, and coffee available in the lobby at 7am (included in the $49/night room price). The rooms on the waterfront side of the hotel were not yet repaired after the storm, but will likely be complete before 12/25. Advantages of staying here: convenient to: diving; restaurants; ferry boat to Playa Del Carmen; and central plazas. Disadvantages: long cab ride required to go to beach clubs (on south shore). Only complaint was that the AC was pretty loud.
