Stayed here for 4 nights. Great location for diving and relaxing away from the cruise ship mayhem that rolls into downtown Cozumel every day. The rooms were more then adequate for $70 (US) a night. The front end staff was great and very helpful in recommending great restaurants and giving us impromptu Spanish lessons. The 2 pools are in great location over looking the amazing blue water of the Caribbean Sea. The dive shop is easily accessed from the hotel dock. We ate breakfast and lunch here almost daily and never had any stomach issues and was pretty happy with the taste and quality of the food offered.
Okay so the downsides:
The pool staff was completely useless. The one waitress that always seemed to be working when we visited the pool was a complete waste. At one point we waited to see if she would leave her standard location of keeping the bartender company. We waited 45 minutes before our thirst took over and I went to the bar. She was suddenly very helpful in writing down our order and handing off our drink, angling for the tip that would never come. This was a reoccurring theme during our stay. The main hotel pool has a swim up bar we witnessed the waitress, bartender, and “activities directors” walk across the bar instead of ducking below the typical entry way. Not the most hygienic of bar tops.
Now for the dive shop. The dive masters and boat staff were great, tip top. The equipment was pretty good. The one down side was the Texas fan working the desk. He was one of the laziest people I have ever dealt with. He easily could have let divers know that dive computers were available and would add time to their dives and enhance their experience. He time and time again neglected to pass this information along. The dive shop which was 10 steps away from his stool that he was surgically attached to was never open. When I asked if he could open the shop he said that it was closed and wouldn’t be open till 9 the next morning, this is after all the dive boats would head out for the day. Make sure you rent a dive computer from the shop this will add to your experience.
Have a great trip.
