You’ll find turquoise waters, powdery sand and an away-from-it-all magic during a stay on Cozumel, the 29-mile-long island off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. While cruise ships like to stop here, the resorts away from the town center of San Miguel can be blissfully mellow, and include a number of all-inclusive options. Here are the best hotels in Cozumel.
InterContinental Presidente Cozumel Resort Spa, an IHG Hotel (Carretera A Chankanaab Col-Km 6.5; 52-987-872-9500) Zona Hotelera Sur
You’ll find a “a stylish, yet casual getaway” at this 221-room InterContinental resort on Cozumel’s west coast, writes US News & World Report, adding that it’s “flanked by half a mile of sugary shoreline and swaying palm trees.” Online reviewers like the easy beach access and four dining options. “Not all-inclusive, but with so much local food, it wasn’t an issue,” writes a Google reviewer. “We had the breakfast buffet included with our package, and it was a mind-blowing spread with an omelet bar. We did a fishing excursion and caught our own red snapper, which the hotel restaurant cooked for us on two consecutive nights—best meal I think I’ve ever had.” >> Book this hotel for less
Cozumel Palace All Inclusive Resort (Av. Rafael E. Melgar; 800-943-5032) Centro
Travel+Leisure likes the “dramatic Caribbean Sea views” at this 175-room resort with two pools that is “within walking distance of downtown San Miguel and its shopping and nightlife.” One Google reviewer writes “the rooms are lovely, the food is great, and the staff is nice. It was nice to have about a 15-minute walk to the center of town,” while another user writes that “the pool is nice but kind of small. The beach is tiny but there is the ability to go in and snorkel right outside the doors.” >> Book this hotel for less
The Westin Cozumel (Carretera Costera Norte Km 4.8; 52-987-872-9200) Zona Hotelera Norte
You can choose between all-inclusive and a-la-carte options at this Westin on San Juan Beach that also has two pools and a rooftop lounge. Many online reviewers describe the resort as pleasantly quiet. “This hotel has amazing views, beautiful small beach and water,” writes a Tripadvisor user, adding that one should “definitely ask for the flaming tres leches cake for dessert!” One Google reviewer recommends the non-inclusive route. “The food and drinks at the resort are pretty good; however, you’re much better off going out to the rest of the island and using this beautiful resort as a base camp.” >> Book this hotel for less
The Explorean Cozumel All Inclusive (Chankanaab km 7.5; 52-987-872-9600) Zona Hotelera Norte
This adults-only all-inclusive is not on the beach, but according to Travel +Leisure, “the boutique-style, sophisticated resort is brimming with extras, from daily guided snorkeling tours and horseback riding to kayaking and dune buggy driving.” Plus, “the beach at the nearby sister property, Fiesta Americana Cozumel, is only a quick walk away.” (The Fiesta Americana Cozumel also caters to families.) A Tripadvisor user likes that the hotel has the “aesthetics of a hidden gem in the jungle. The casitas are fantastic, offering quiet privacy while still just a short walk to the beach. We will likely be back.” >> Book this hotel for less
Grand Park Royal Cozumel (Playa Paraiso Km. 3.5 Chankanaab Sur; 52-987-872-0700) Zona Hotelera Norte
Located just outside downtown, the all-inclusive Grand Park Royal Cozumel “delivers if it’s a beachfront location you’re after,” writes Travel+Leisure. “Guests can lounge by the oceanfront infinity pool or on the curve of the white sand beach and enjoy the daily parade of boats cruising by. This is an excellent option for families with nightly entertainment, a kids’ club, and a kids’ pool with a slide.” One Google reviewer writes that “the buffet is one of the better on the island. The activities are better than most of the family-friendly resorts and the access to snorkeling is awesome.” >> Book this hotel for less
