My family and I planned a last minute vacation to Cozumel. Based on trip advisor reviews we had read, we decided on the Casa Mexicana. The hotel is a great value for the money. The room was immaculate, the staff warm and friendly and the service superb. Every morning a huge Mexican breakfast buffet was included in the price of the room. Fresh Mexican specialities, empanadas, beans, design your own omellette, papaya, pineapple, salmon, pastries, cheeses, cereals, fresh sqeezed oj, grapefruit and carrot juice. The area of the hotel where the breakfast is served is open to the outdoors and is very beautiful. The view from the pool/lobby/bar is superb. My son's birthday was during our stay and I asked the maid if she could make us a birthday cake out of our bath towels. (Everyday when the room is made up a new little bath towel animal is on the beds...so cute)
When we returned to the room later in the day, our entire room was decorated from top to bottom with streamers, balloons and special towel animals. The concierge even delivered a birthday cake to our room at no charge!!
The only downside that I could think of is that there is no beach attached to the hotel as it is in the downtown area of Cozumel. You would have to rent a car or take a cab to a beach. Also the pool is very small and cold!! The pool area surround gets direct sunlight, but the pool is shaded. (The younger ones didn't mind a bit).
The business center has free internet so no need to bring your laptop with you.
If you want to avoid paying tourist prices, try eating lunch at one of the local "luncherias". We ate at a luncheria just steps from the church on the square and got 3 huge grouper tacos for $6-- and they were awsome.
We will be going back to Casa Mexicana on our next trip to Cozumel!
