You may think that the reviews for this place sound too good to be true, we did, but trust us, Dale and Kathy have earned and deserve all the praise they receive from their guests!

We had never stayed at a b&b before since we tend to prefer our privacy. But based on the reviews we read for Baldwin's Guest House we decided to give the b&b experience a try. I'm tempted to say that it was like staying with friends because Kathy and Dale are such wonderful people but the reality is it was more like living in a home away from home except that someone else makes breakfast, stocks the beer fridge and cleans house! They have a way of making you feel like you belong there. We had all the privacy yet all the company we desired.

Our room (Garden Room) was great - immaculately clean, quiet, spacious and very nicely decorated. Kathy and Dale gave us great advise on what to do on the island. Kathy's breakfasts are to die for - they are so delicious and were large enough to sustain us through a day of diving and through to dinner. And Dale, well Dale's a hoot. I'm still laughing at Dale.

If your idea of paradise is a liquour-fueled stay at an all-inclusive, you might want to think twice about this place. But if you want to stay in a place with great people who make you feel at home, this is the place for you.

This review is from the perspective of a 32 year old unmarried guy...went with my girlfriend in March. Dale and Kathy started contacting us via email about a month before our trip to give us trip advice, directions, etc. Really helped out a lot.

When we arrived, Dale and Kathy went out of their way to make us feel at home. The breakfasts, the conversations with Dale and Kathy/ other guests, the honor bar out by pool area (guys you will like this - just let Dale know what kind of beer to stock in advance.), the town, and the East end of the island with its wind swept beaches and colbalt blue water....everything was outstanding.

Will definitely return. This place is truly a gem.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when our cab dropped us off in front of Baldwin's guest house...here we were slightly off the tourist beaten path in a typical San Miguel neighborhood...but once we walked thru the large metal gate into the enclosed property I knew we had found an oasis. The lush tropical gardens created an inviting cocoon of comfort. And then we met Dale and Kathy and things got even better! Talk about down to earth canucks, by the end of our week I felt like I was leaving family. Kathy really knows how to put the b's in b&b. Breakfasts on the lanai with the other small group of guests was so pleasent, talking about our plans for the day and overeating on the spectacular spread of fresh fruits and homecooked meals, always a pleasant surprise to see what treat she would come up with each day.
Kathy was the one starting our day out just right, another beautiful day in paradise. Other guests became our frinds and sometimes we would plan our days to include each other. The neighborhood was friendly, several small "convenience" stores within a block. We got to experience the local markets but yet were within walking distance of the waterfront with all it's tourist activiies. And each evening we would return to the oasis, gather once again with other guests and chat about our daily adventures. And Dale was always there, sharing his humorous tales, preparing a tremendous shrimp feast one evening, having a few beers with us. I don't think I ever went back to my room for the night without chuckling over one of Dale's tales. Before I even left for home I was already missing this beautiful place and great people. The room was spectacular and private. The gardens and pool were serene. The company was inviting and extremely enjoyable. I am so glad I got to experience Cozumel this way and can hardly wait to get back! I even hesitated to share this with everybody because it would be such a treasured little secret to keep. No longer can I book into a big hotel, I'm spoiled now and will hold up my experience at Baldwin's B&B as the gold standard for all others to aspire.

I loved staying at Baldwins Guest House with hosts Dale and Kathy.
I have been there two years in a row and I feel like I have made some very good friends.Everything was wonderful, the property is beautiful, the rooms clean with very comfortable beds. The service is personal and very informative what ever your interests might be.
Breakfast is outstanding served by Dale and Kathy, both exceptional
hosts,making you feel very welcome.I will be a repeat customer every year. I have been vacationing in Cozumel for ten years, I wish I would have heard about Baldwins Guest House sooner because it is the best.
