My Partner and I were brought to Caribe Blu by long time fans of this operation and we were not let down. The hotel- simple, immaculately clean, conveniently located so that you could take a leisurely walk into town or a cheap cab ride, with the main grocery on the way. Caribe Blue has its own Dive Operation attached to the hotel - Blue Angle. This might be the most professional operation I have found on Cozumel and the most convenient for the seriously committed divers. Wake up in the morning, stroll upstairs to breakfast, stroll back down and take 20 steps - you are now on the dock, ready to easily board their waiting dive boats. No taxis with wet suits and gear, no fuss, no muss. Return to dock, step off the boat, rinse your gear in the provided fresh water tanks, step upstairs and its time for 2 for 1 margaritas. Want to snorkel or dive right off their dock - day or night..not a problem and a great location.
Through no fault of the hotel or its grounds, My traveling partner broke her ankle the first full day we were there - while she was in the emergency room, a quick call to the hotel had as moved from a second floor room - down to a ground level room, and while they were at it, they moved a lounge chair from the pool to the patio outside her room!
The following days were trying for us, but the hotel staff was amazing!! They arranged for reasonably priced medication to be delivered to our room, found us a wheelchair to rent (which was a very difficult task) and were always on hand to help move her, deliver food and beverages to the room and generally help us navigate a very difficult situation.
I've stayed at 4 star hotels that werent half as warm, helpfull and on the mark.
Oh, and for the regular stuff...limitless pool towels, hot water, great AC, mini fridge, housekeeping, wireless internet, TV (with english stations as well), they were right on the mark.

The Management was friendly and honest. Rooms were clean, straight forward, though rustic. Plumbing was spartan in our fourth floor room--no toilet paper down the commode, for instance, (but we probably shouldn't be doing that anyway). Linens were fresh and clean, though the beds were a little hard. Great place if your main interest is diving, diving, and more diving--and you don't care about frills.

  • Liked — dock for scuba pickup, price

We spent a week here and enjoyed it. The hotel is not fancy, but has tv, air conditioning, free internet in the lobby(have to ask for the computer), pool, and plenty of hammocks. It is about a mile walk to town, which we felt 100% safe walking to even at night. Most guests are divers although we were not. Accomodations are very basic, but being on the water was really nice. There really isn't a beach, but you can grab a hammock or a pool chair and relax the day away. The attached dive shop will rent you snorkel gear if you want to snorkel right by the hotel. The restaurant was disappointing. The day we went there were tons of bugs (outdoors) and the prices of ice cream seemed to fluctuate with who was the cashier that day.

I just spent another great Thanksgiving week in Cozumel with the Caribe Blu and Blue Angel. Before arriving, I was concerned that the island really might not be prepared for guests yet but it turned out I had no reason to worry. The recovery from the hurricane was simply astonishing, and as always the hotel and dive shop staff treated me like family. This is a very clean quiet hotel, and I will stay there for the next 10 years! While the reefs were noticeably different in areas, the diving was still excellent with plenty of healthy coral and an abundance of life. The reefs at San Juan and Dalila were particularly beautiful and in great shape. Sightings included many turtles, nurse sharks, grouper, morays, barracuda, angelfish & numerous other tropicals, as well as several eagle rays and more lobster than I could count. Even the shore dive in front of the hotel still offers plenty of life, including moray & sharptail eels, squid, puffers, and scorpionfish. Cozumel is back and ready for visitors!

This is a great place to stay for divers. The hotel is very clean with spacious rooms and the staff super friendly and helpful. The best part is the combination of the hotel with the dive shop downstairs with a very accomodating and competent dive crew. The boats pick you us right outside the hotel and take you to a vast variety of spectacular dive locations. There is also a great little restaurant above the dive shop for breakfast, lunch and an early dinner...with nice Mexican food to eat! What more could you ask for!!!
