Hotel berhampiran El Mirador, Cozumel

PROs: Across the street from the ocean and a great shore diving spot. Beautifully landscaped grounds, nice pool, beach club, and open-air restaurant with swim-up bar. Traditional Mexican hotel layout with open courtyards and lanais that have nice views of garden and/or ocean. Peaceful vibe. CONs: Most of the restaurants in the area are overpriced Senor Frog/Hooters-type establishments catering to the drink-and-dive crowd. Restaurants in the north of town and just off Centro are much better quality and value, but require a cab into town. Buffet breakfast was carb-heavy steam table fare which was overpriced at more than $15/person. Restaurants in the US would offer this for free. Front desk staff was not particularly friendly or helpful. When my husband lost his bag in the lobby and they did not find it in lost and found, they did not check for it behind the desk until we asked a second time and they magically ”found” it. A little effort and thought here would have made a difference to us. The beach club is nice but the swimming was much too rough for me (located between two piers and the road, with mostly a view of the cruise ships in front). Net: great place to drink margaritas and dive

Al momento de realizar la reserva contábamos con la información que nos hospedariamos en una habitación con una cama tamaño king size sin embargo, al momento de llegada la habitación que nos dieron fue una de dos camas, cuando realizamos en comentario a la recepcionista, nos comentó que la información de la reservación era solo una solicitud y que no nos podía cambiar de habitación por no tener disponible una como la requerida y que las habitaciones con esas características por el momento tendría un costo extra. Los meseros son muy amables, así como el cantinero y las instalaciones son muy bonitas, la entrada al mar es una sorpresa y las albercas con agua de mar con las que cuenta el hotel son exquisitas.

위치가 좋아요. 중심지이지만 살짝 떨어져서 조용하고 조식도 훌륭하고 옥상에서 노을이 정말 예뻐요. 작지만 수영장도 있어요. 일층에 있는 빵집도 투어 가기 전에 빵 몇개 사서 가면 좋아요.

Mostly highs with just a couple small lows (would give it a 4.5 if that was an option) 1) The resort is pretty small and super chill. You're not going to find a bunch of music playing or foam parties - if that's what you're after I wouldn't go here (that's not what I was after so I was very pleased). 2) If you're booking straight through Marriott try to swing the all-inclusive package before hand, I wouldn't pay the $95 per person per day when you get there but if you check back often on Marriott you can snag if for pretty cheap depending on when you go, we got it for $30 per person per day on a deal and it was DEFINITELY worth that. 3) Since it's an all-inclusive OPTIONAL resort you don't need to just walk around with dollars bills for every single time you get a drink or anything else, just tip at the end on a room charge like you would anywhere else. I really enjoyed this after having been to a couple AIs where the staff expected a tip every single time they did anything. 4) Speaking of staff - Alex, who was working the beach service and the snack bar, was FANTASTIC. By the second day he knew what we were going to get to drink and was super speedy in getting the drinks and food and he was very personable. Even outside of Alex the entirety of the staff was also nice, everyone was smiling and seemed to really enjoy their jobs which makes everything so much more enjoyable. 5) The only real negative thing I could mention is the food options can get a little limited if you're going to spend a while there. There are only 2 main dinner restaurants and they alternate back and forth (but you can do room service, if you do swing for the AI I'd recommend this for sure as they only charge $3 for the delivery!) so after day 3 or 4 you'll probably get a little burnt out on the same food but we didn't stay longer than that and since our entire point for the trip was rest and relaxation we didn't bother leaving the property but there is a pretty highly rated place right across the street if you wanted some variety. It was definitely a nice and relaxing stay and exactly what we were looking for so if you're looking for a nice chill place to spend 3-5 days I'd highly recommend it. Oh, also, they have a fan over the bed and it WORKS so if you get tired of being hot in hotel rooms you will love this place because boy does that fan make a HUGE different.
