Cozumel, Mexico Vacations

Cozumel is an ideal Caribbean destination for all types of travelers. It is the largest inhabited island in Mexico, known as the plunging paradise for divers from all over the world.

Cozumel is an ideal Caribbean destination for all types of travelers. It is the largest inhabited island in Mexico, known as the plunging paradise for divers from all over the world. The island is located east of the Yucatan Peninsula on top of the age-old structures of the Mayan coral reef - the second largest in the world. The island's lagoon is connected to the sea by narrow canals with underwater caves, bursting with multicolored tropical fish and unique inland reefs. The beaches in Cozumel are surrounded by dense tropical vegetation and unusual endemic species, and while these are also characteristic of the island, its greatest wealth is undoubtedly underwater.

A Cozumel vacation is a wonderful blend unspoiled beaches, underwater attractions and old-world Mexican charm. It was first "put on the map" by underwater pioneer Jacques Cousteau who was fascinated by the enormous Palancar coral reef off the southern tip of the island - today it is one of the biggest attractions in Cozumel, a world-class dive destination.

White sandy beaches (which get larger the further south you go), flat terrain perfect for cycling, and the sights of San Miguel - the island's capital and only town - round out the attractions here. San Miguel features shopping for traditional crafts, some hopping bars (which really hop when there's a cruise ship in town!) and casual restaurants.

Our Opnion
A vacation in Cozumel is a must for any diving enthusiast. This charming little island is a great laid back spot for couples and families. Take in the fabulous diving, rent a moped to zip around the island or just sit back and enjoy the Caribbean sun. There is not much in terms of nightlife on the island.

The water activities are the main attraction here. Diving and snorkelling are world class, the waters crystal clear and the island has some great beaches. The Iberostar Cozumel and Melia Cozumel are a couple of the more popular all-inclusive resorts on the island. A great destination for couples, families and singles.

Renting a bike and cruising around the island is a great way to see Cozumel.

A ferry ride over to Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya makes for a great day trip.

Activities & Sports
The beautiful island of Cozumel is a paradise for divers and snorkelers and a Cozumel vacation is not complete without a dip underwater. With over 25 reef formations, divers of all ages and skills can enter into a completely fascinating and different world: endless coral inhabited by immense shoals of colourful fish. As a matter of fact its transparent waters can at times provide visibility of up to 50 m. Cozumel's ideal diving conditions have made it internationally famous.

Dining & Nightlife
The quality of Cozumel's gastronomy, based on its excellent seafood, is legendary throughout the region. The food is, of course, Yucatan specialties consisting mainly of fish but international cuisine is also available. Some of the restaurants offering this type of cuisine include Mediterranean, pizza and seafood. One notable mention is Casa Denis.

Great night-time entertainment on this island paradise can be found at the Hard Rock Café, Neptune's, Carlos 'n Charlies and Viva México where you can dance, enjoy a drink and listen to live music. Many hotel bars offer live music such as the Presidente Hotel where you will find a Marimba band and a trio.

Shopping
There are several shops selling souvenirs in the tourist town of Cozumel. You will find places like Bazár del Àngel, Casablanca and La Campana (among others) all along Avenida Melgar. If you're looking for a greater assortment of handicrafts go to the Mercado de Artesanías, located a few blocks from the main square, is a must. Cozumel is not noted for its production of handicrafts.
