Cozumel hotels near Playa del Carmen Ferry

Pros: Secluded secure, private location, close to shopping,and grocery. Less than a mile from ferry/main square. Perfect for someone wanting to avoid the beach resorts or for people who wants privacy. (Apartment) Very quaint, clean, basic rooms with large shower and purified water system. AC worked very well. Very friendly owners/staff. Private parking if needed. Lush grounds with bamboo and tropical plants. Peacocks were an added surprise. If renting the apartments, you should like dogs, as they will visit you often. The other rooms are secluded and the dogs do not have access. I enjoyed them. The dogs are also the security/alarm system and will bark at passers by. Overall great place if looking for clean secure friendly atmosphere in a secluded location, close to shopping and ferry service. Taxi to shopping area only 40 pesos or 15 minute walk.

Pros: Villas El Encanto's staff are extremely kind, starting with the handmade welcome gift. You feel like family. Rooms are in one of six private or 2-3 suite villas on the lush gated grounds, along with the owners' home, eleven friendly dogs (usually in the back yard), and a resident peacock. We stayed in both the one-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen, and the private pool deluxe suite. Both were well appointed and comfortable; beds are restfully firm with a variety of pillow types. The one-bedroom apartment kitchen is stocked, including all kitchen needs - even a little cooler for a day at the beach. Birds are plentiful - as birdwatchers, we saw at least a dozen new species on the grounds alone including the endemic Cozumel Emerald. Flowering trees attract warblers and bananaquits. Local parrots visit briefly twice a day. Both the main and private pools are unheated but comfortable for a dip, at 5 feet maximum depth. Location is good - far enough from the busy area to be quiet at night, but close to the water and some nice restaurants. We walked most places within 30 minutes, and for ice, hot tortillas, or anything you forgot to bring with you, the Chedraui supermarket is just three blocks away (use the Mexican ATMs there for a lower withdrawal fee). The local tourism economy runs mostly on cash, but Villas accepts credit no problem. They can arrange for taxi to pick up and even local rental cars or dune buggies to be delivered to the door. Cleaning staff do a phenomenal job. The Palapa and its plentiful hammocks are oh-so-comfortable! Like us, you won't want to leave.

Pros: Recently remodeled,rooms were very nice, new TV, rain showers, AC. Nice lobby patio area with pool, some evenings had music and dancing some were more laid back. 3 very nice restaurants,we could walk in anytime, but were were just offseason. Smaller resort so very easy to get around and very quiet. Beach and chairs/sunbeds nice area to snorkel and swim. Somewhat remote, cannot walk to town but several places to eat and Chankanaab Park within easy walking. Staff and service were truly amazing, never wanted for anything,and did not get solicited for timeshare.

Pros: Scuba dive shop is top notch. The dive shop is a top notch operation that have been in business a long time. Had not dove with them for over ten years but outstanding continued service.

Pros: The Staff were ALL so lovely and attentive...the tour coordinator accommodated us last minute with a scooter which was so fun for my daughter. The beverage offerings were top notch, the rooms were REALLY comfortable~and included room service. The food was good too. The beachfront was cool, with beds to lie on with the sound of surf washing up against the rock/coral edge underneath them...once they finish it off with sand it will be really nice. (it had just re-opened in September after a year of complete renovations)

Pros: Hotel is small, everything is close by.

Pros: The remodeled rooms are modern, clean and comfortable. The food is mostly excellent, a cut above for an all-inclusive at this price. Our focus was on diving (easy boat pickup from the pier), so we weren't to concerned about the distance from town or the limited range of other activities. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Pros: Newly renovated and reopened 9/1/2014. Very contemporary/modern. Customer service was great. Dinner food was exceptional and buffet was good. Biking, snorkeling right off the vicinity, water volleyball, Mexican Bingo, Karaoke. Gym was sufficient. Drinks were plenty. Free laundry room. Overall great experience!

Pros: Everything was great

Pros: The food service in the buffet is excellent. It is the only place we ate for our 7-day stay. There are a ton of options, the food is good quality and healthy. Mario in the main lobby (bellman) was great and very helpful. The staff overall do an excellent job. If you need something they will bring it to you or get you an answer. The location is great. Close to town so that you can walk 1.6 miles or take a short carb ride Beach is good with lots to do for the kids. If you are not traveling with kids. I would not stay here as there are a ton of kids here. Which is great if you have children

Pros: Wonderful, attentive staff, beautiful landscape with 3 great pools, all with swim up bars. Casual to dress up dining, their own shopping center and on site shows. Wonderful experience. Will defiantly be back!

Pros: The employees hospitality and cleanliness.. the activities and the resort set up is awesome ..

Pros: Resort was beautiful and spotless. The all inclusive aspect of the resort.

Pros: Friendly staff

Pros: We had stayed there previously and returned based on the all-inclusive package, beautiful pools and beach, combined with adjacent scuba facilities. Cozumel has some of most beautiful reefs in the world and it also offers easy access to the mainland to explore Mayan ruins and the local "cenotes". Again, our family had a fantastic vacation.

Pros: Had very good dinner restaurants. The beach in front of the hotel is amazing clear waters wonderful for snorkeling. Even got to bring out the kayaks.

Pros: the grounds are nice very nice, pools clean, beach is clean the rooms are small but they work just fine. the food sucked, the hot food is cold and the cold food is room temp. they seem to be trying with what they have, i would gess the management needs to step it up with the kitchen budget. we did the dive experience, soooo, i thought the rooms were going to be upgraded, no, just a towel bar to hang a few things on. with the UDE you have access to a special room that has food and bev. nice touch. we did dive a few time with Prodive, the staff are really cool.

Pros: Laid back atmosphere. Friendly staff. Unpretentious nothing spectacular but good value for money

Pros: The staff was extremely attentive and took good care of the guests. They were always polite.

Pros: The pool, hot tub, and activities were great. It's a great place. I'd go back.

Pros: As always, the best things about El Cozumeleno are the location, being just feet away from the Caribbean. The snorkeling is excellent, the beach is protected from drifting sargassum by their sea wall, and the views from their rooms is breathtaking. The next best thing is their dedicated staff. These hardworking folks are cheerful and helpful, and go to any length to make one’s stay enjoyable. I will be returning.

Pros: I enjoyed interacting with the staff...found they were bound to strict rules and they tried their best to accommodate.

Pros: Breakfast was the best meal of the day. Luisa is a fantastic omelette chef. The staff at El Coz is 5 star. All hardworking friendly people!
