My husband and I and wanted two different experiences in Cozumel so we chose Baldwin's B&B for the first half of our trip and Ventanas al Mar for the second half. We loved both! (See review on Ventanas also.) Dale and Kathy were helpful from the beginning by sending an email with travel details after we booked our stay and later sent another email suggesting a tour they thought we might enjoy which we booked through them.

The house is in a what appeared to be a typical residential Cozumel neighborhood. We liked that we could get off the tourist path by staying in the city while still being comfortable in beautiful, clean, and spacious accomodations. We felt spoiled by the quality of our room and enjoyed the colorful landscaping of the backyard where we would eat breakfast and relax in the evening.

The city center was within walking distance and we felt safe walking about. Dale & Kathy provided us with a map highlighting areas of interest. They were willing to make recommendations and gave honest opinions when we asked questions about things we wanted to do.

This was our first B&B experience anywhere, and it surpassed our expectations (comfortable; delicious breakfast that was different every day; friendly people)- we enjoyed it and would return.

Another great 10 day adventure at the Baldwin's Guest House with Dale and Kathy. We have stayed at the guest house for the last 6 years. My friends ask why we keep going to Cozumel --Why Not?? There's everything to like and we know the island like the back of our hand. Had a great time with Jamey and Rhonda from North Carolina!!! Went to a boxing Match with the locals that was on HBO!! That was a blast!! But our best day was at Senor Iquana's---Happy Birthday Rhonda!! From AKA Sugar!! Dale and Kathy(the owners) are THE BEST!! We love you guys!!! Opps-I can't forget about the breakfast --Kathy is just remarkable---she'll make you anything you want and more!! From Chrissy and Brett!!!!

My daughter and I just returned from a vacation in Cozumel and a seven night stay at Baldwin's. My daughter is the one who did the research on accomodations in Cozumel and was impressed with the information she found on this highly ranked B&B in the heart of San Miguel. I was skeptical, because I have been traditionally a large hotel, all inclusive kind of person. Thanks to my stay at Baldwin's, I am now a B&B convert!
We both loved everything about our stay at Baldwin's and would never consider any other accomodations in Cozumel. The most important factors were the quality of the rooms and spectacular grounds as well as the exceptional graciousness of our hosts, Kathy and Dale.

We stayed in the Garden Room in the main house and found it to be exceptionally large and well appointed. Our windows overlooked the pretty entrance courtyard and I loved the amount of space, the beautiful hand carved bed headboard and other wood pieces. The private bathroom was lovely and spacious.

The grounds are a tropical delight, with a gorgeous blue tiled pool with a stone waterfall, an outdoor kitchen and bar area, a large gazebo and an aviary.

Our hosts Kathy and Dale were a wealth of information on all aspects of Cozumel and were always attentive and gracious. This B&B must attract really great guests (my daughter and I included LOL!) because we had a really enjoyable time interacting with everyone at breakfast and evenings at the outdoor bar area. This was one of the aspects I was worried about in staying at this type of accomodation. I like to have some alone time on the grounds without resorting to being in my room. This was no problem because of the size of this property and the fact that both guests and hosts were very respectful.

Now to talk about the breakfasts! They were amazing and varied and bountiful. Every breakfast included sliced ripe fruit, yogurt ,granola and a delectable pastry. This was then followed by various main courses including such breakfast staples as eggs, pancakes, waffles, sausages and much more. Everything is served as it is made and arrives at the table piping hot, fresh and delicious. Kathy always wanted to know what we liked to make sure we had the breakfast of our dreams. No problem there!

I loved the location of Baldwins because it is in the heart of San Miguel. It was great to have the opportunity to be living in the middle of a regular Cozumel neighborhood. We were about 5 blocks to the pedestrian mall and Plaza and about seven blocks to the waterfront. My daughter and I did not have a car the entire time and we really enjoyed our walks to the plaza, walking through various neighborhoods. We always felt completely safe even walking at night.

There is no downside to staying at Baldwins. You can't do any better. I am almost afraid to give this great review because I fear it will be hard to get a reservation for my next stay.

Kathy and Dale helped make my second trip to Cozumel so much better than the first, ( which was all diving). Dale booked us on a sailboat outing that was the highlight of our trip,and kept us entertained with his joking. Kathy fed us an awesome breakfast every morning, consisting of fresh fruit, and then something hot and delicious. They both gave us good advice about taxis, shopping, eats, ect. The entire house was spotless, and our room was very comfortable. The home is surrounded by beautiful gardens and a high wall with a locked gate, so we felt very secure. As for Cozumel itself, it's lovely and has wonderful snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities with great viz.
Get to Cozumel and get to know the people, you'll love it.
