    Casa Mexicana has become my husband and I's go to hotel in Cozumel. It's located near downtown San Miguel and is walkable to many restaurants, bars, shops and the beach. The breakfast buffet that's included with your stay is very good and has a lot of options. My husband loves their made to order omelettes. The hotel has a small bar and pool. The hotel is no frills but it's clean and close to town. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Beware of booking a room overlooking the courtyard/breakfast area. It can be quite loud in the morning during breakfast hours.

    This is a life saver. On top of the cost of lodging of $78, the lobby is above ground level and so is the pool. It's a beautiful hidden gem all around. English speaking guest services. Free WiFi. We took a taxi here so I have no idea about parking. Mega is like the USA Walmart - you can get everything there. The ATMs dispense pesos. Be sure to put travel notification with your credit card company so they won't freeze it. Keep your passport on your person just in case you get stuck here. We were fortunate to be at the market village at the international embarking terminal. The management helped with everything. From letting us know what would happen next and he pretty much escorted us to Immigration to get us processed and pay the $33 per person fee. To the states, United and Southwest Airlines both fly. Thursday flights are 1/3 of what they would be on a Friday FYI. Cost of dining is very reasonable. Oh yeah and don't panic. Cell phones: we use the hotel free WiFi for calls and internet access. Keep it on airplane mode and turn on the WiFi. Or get an international plan for your cell phone service. There is a cell phone store at the Mega. Here's to making lemonade out of lemons.

    My favorite hotel in Cozumel. Clean rooms, beautiful lobby, gracious and helpful staff, and the breakfast buffet is delicious. It's a classy boutique hotel in the heart of the shopping district. Directly across the street from the harbor. Close to everything, safe, secure and upscale. Why go anywhere else? If you want access to a beach you'll need to walk or drive, but for a "home base" close to restaurants shopping etc, this is the place. Aside from the breakfast, no restaurant service on site, and the bar is small. I don't drink, and there are multiple restaurants within 100 yards so neither is an issue for me.

    The breakfast was amazing! Loved everything.. the fresh squeezed juices.. smoothies.. fresh fruit.. and hot items.. perfect way to start day

    This hotel was wonderful! We were looking into all inclusive but decided we wanted to stay in hotel. This hotel was a great price.. so we decided to try out. So glad we did. The location is prime.. pool is small but all we needed. The rooms are very clean..beds comfy.. Everyone very friendly and helpful. And then breakfast..wow! What a treat.. so much offerings .. hot items... person making omelets...fresh squeezed juices.. We would highly recommend this hotel.. and we will be back!

    This is a photo from the balcony of a room that "doesn't have water view." I'll take it!

    The service is outstanding! This is a beautiful hotel with amazing views of the water. The free breakfast was incredible! Nothing like "free breakfasts" that you find in the states. We even noticed a few families that weren't staying at the hotel that came in for breakfast. We didn't pay for a room with a view because we wanted to keep it cheap. We got lucky though, it seems that many of the rooms on one side of the hotel have at least a partial view of the water. The AC in the room is fantastic as well! Very cold! The location is great for in-town shopping and dining. We prefer non-tourist restaurants and after only a half a day we have been very pleased! Be sure to dine at "Otates" during the day. We also ate at "Los Sera's." It was PACKED at night with locals. It was easy to tell that the food was amazing. It was very hot at this restaurant though. Like many of the local dives it has an open concept, and the Pastor roasting on the giant flame throwing rotisseries added to the overall temperature. But it was a great experience! As far as the beaches go, short cab rides get you where you want to be. The location is great!

    An absolutely amazing experience! Everything is clean, everybody is nice, and it looks better then on pictures online. Close to the pier if you like Scuba diving. Right in the heart of Cozumel. Breakfast from 7am until 11am. Wonderful hotel, if we decide to go to Cozumel again, will definitely stay there again.

    Clean hotel, great location! The breakfast is delicious with waffles & eggs cooked to order plus tasty traditional Mexican breakfast. FYI there is no variety, so be prepared if you plan to stay several days! Independent concierge service was super helpful. Hotel service, not so much. We waited a couple hours after calling the front desk because they forgot to restock our toilet paper. My husband ended up having to go down to the stockroom himself to find some. Then the hotel overcharged us and said that they did not have the ability to refund the charges - that I had to open up a credit card dispute for it to be taken care of. But it is a prime spot for sunsets...still undecided if I would stay here again or not...

    Located along the main road and in the middle of everything. Señor frogs. Hooters. Starbucks two blocks away. Breakfast buffet was included with our stay.

    Intercontinental Presidente Cozumel Resort - Guest room

    Intercontinental Presidente Cozumel Resort

    (75 reviews)

    $$$

    This is a beautiful resort, on the lovely island of Cozumel. My friend and I came here for a week,…read moreand we enjoyed our stay very much. The location is close enough to the main town area that it's easy to get back and forth via a quick cab ride or on bike. The food on the resort is fine. We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet which is typically included in room rates. The other restaurants were okay, typically a little underwhelming for how excellent the food in this part of the country is. The sushi, for example, had a very strong vinegar taste as if the sushi rice had been over-seasoned with vinegar and mirin. One exception is the passion fruit ceviche at one of the beach restaurants, which was excellent and we ordered it two separate times. Overall though, I would encourage you to visit some of the many wonderful and affordable restaurants all over the island. My room was extremely comfortable and well appointed, with one exception. The TV was so old that we were unable to access any apps or even connect my computer for streaming. This isn't a big deal generally, but because we had some rainy days this was a bit disappointing. At this price point and prestige level, I would expect the TVs to be more updated. My guess is that these were 10 or more years old. I want to specifically commend this hotel for their excellent staff. The staff were consistently so friendly and helpful, and proactive for whatever was needed. Truly some of the nicest hospitality staff I have ever encountered, and so professional. The facilities are excellent and we particularly enjoyed our day at the spa, which was a real treat. The dive shop on site has a lot of great services as well. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend others to stay here as well. It's a special place on a beautiful island, what's not to like?

    I've stayed here a few times for work, and it's one of those hotels that keeps growing on you…read more The Setting The hotel sits about 15 minutes from the main town, in a quieter part of the island. That distance works in its favor. It feels calm, removed, and much more relaxed than staying closer to the cruise crowds. Architecturally, it leans retro, but in a good way. The bones are older, but the interiors have been updated with smart design choices that make everything feel current and polished without losing character. The Rooms The rooms are a strong point. Spacious, comfortable, and designed to take full advantage of the ocean views. Most rooms have some version of a water-facing angle, which makes a difference. If you're on the ground floor, you might get one of the outdoor rain showers. Fully private, surprisingly great, and one of those features you didn't know you needed until you have it. There's also a large indoor shower, so you're covered either way. The bathrooms are especially well stocked. Beyond the usual amenities, you get after-sun lotion, Evian facial spray, bug repellent, mouthwash, and pretty much every small item you might need but usually forget. Add in a Nespresso machine and blackout shades, and the rooms feel thoughtfully set up. Service Service is consistently excellent. Friendly, polite, and always willing to help. Nothing feels forced, just genuinely good hospitality. Food & Dining Breakfast is served under a large thatched roof right by the water, which sets the tone nicely. The buffet has a wide mix of Mexican and American options, and at around $30, it feels worth it for both the setting and the variety. Dinner was more hit or miss. I tried one of the oceanfront restaurants with a Mediterranean feel. Beautiful setting, disappointing food. The guacamole lacked flavor, and the picanha was overcooked and tough. Definitely not on par with the rest of the hotel. The Spa The spa is a highlight. Great setting, excellent treatments, and a nice bonus: when you book a massage, you get access to the spa facilities for two days. That includes steam room, sauna, plunge pools, and other amenities that make it easy to spend a full afternoon there. Overall Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa is a strong choice if you're looking for a relaxed, well-appointed stay on the island. Great rooms, great service, and a setting that makes it easy to unwind. Just be selective about where you eat on property.

It was my husband myself and our four-year-old son. And we got a suite that had two bedrooms. It was perfect for our family situation. Having a four-year-old that goes to bed at 8 PM, it was nice to have him in a separate space so my husband and I could have drinks on the patio. The views were amazing. We were on the third floor. Lots of steps to get upstairs but I like to move, so that wasn't a problem. Breakfast is served every day and included in your fee. Breakfast was so great and the servers were so nice. We did not do the inclusive option because we like to wander around the island and find other places to eat and drink. I'm only giving this place a four-star because I thought the food was fair. But I realize that most island has fair food. I will definitely come back and I will definitely get a sweet again.

    Overall a pretty good stay, location being one of the best features of this hotel…read more Pros: - literally right next to Tres Pelicanos, couldn't of been more convenient to work out dive details or talk to Pony or Willie - Karla was so sweet, so easy and pleasant to communicate with - love the security system with the gates, it feels very safe - nice that they have free water stations for every 2-3 rooms - AC is GREAT!! Holy moly, it can get stuffy and humid in Cozumel, AC is saving grace - multi-level unit was fun and different - kitchen with a mini-fridge was great, kept our drinks nice and cold - close to everything, walk outside and you can find many shops and restaurants within 5-10 minutes (super close by - Burger house, La Cozumelena, Los Otates, Girasoles) - about a 15 minute walk from the Ferry Terminal - decently priced (we paid about $82/night) - free wifi is always a plus! Very good connection too - free DVDs to watch, BBQ to use and pool Cons: - bed is tiny! It was more like a full size bed rather than a queen....needless to say, it was a little bit of a squeeze - bathroom is also tiny. Not that I need a gigantic bathroom on vacation, the shower, sink and toilet were literally right next to each other. If you're using the sink, you can't really close the door because it's just way too cramp. Shower and shower pressure was okay though - soap/shampoo products were minimal, could have used maybe a bottle of lotion or something - housekeeping gave us two bottles of water on the first day and never gave us bottles of water after that......I guess you're expected to refill the water bottle at the water stations outside I would definitely stay here again. $82/night was not a bad deal at all though I have heard from other divers that there are great deals for hotels on this island. It worked out great for us because we were diving the whole week with Tres Pelicanos and when they dropped us off after a day of diving, we just walked next door to our rooms!

    This place is rated #1 on Tripadvisor for a reason. Jim took over the Hotel a year or so ago and…read morealthough this was my first time here, it looks like he is pleasing the repeat guests. The place is downtown, only one block back from the waterfront and two blocks from the main square. Most importantly, the Hotel is close to many dive shops and only one block to Aldora Dive Shop. There is also a dive shop attached called Tres Pelicanos. There are only 7 villas, so book early! It is very nice to have space to spread out while on vacation, especially when you have dive gear. There is even space to hang up your dive gear in the pretty courtyard and a grill to cook food if you want to eat in. Every villa has a kitchenette which we found useful to keep drinks cold as well as the pastries we bought around the corner at La Cozumeleña. The new owner put in a pool and it is big enough to relax in and there is a waterfall and some chaise lounges as well. The privacy of this hotel is superb and the peace you get is great. There are high walls around the hotel and your back windows overlook gardens and some have statues.The bed is a little harder than I would like but I slept well with all the diving. There are also two big closets where you can hang up your clothes and the bathroom is well done and has great shower pressure. Karla is a good manager and she will help you arrange taxi rides, car rentals, and give other recommendations. I could easily stay here for a month if I could! Their couches downstairs are very comfy and great to lounge around if you have time to relax. It is so easy to walk from this hotel to many of the surrounding restaurants like Casa Restaurant Cuzamil (fancy sports bar with tvs and high quality food and moderate prices) and Del Sur (Argentinian restaurant with good food but pricey). And if you are worried about security downtown - don't be. I never felt unsafe in downtown and there is also an electric gate to this property and you have an electronic key to the gate, along with your villa key. And another highlight- the a/c works very well! I wish my own a/c wall unit at home was this good. It's also the little touches that count here - they have bottled water stations outside which you can put in your water bottle and put in the fridge in your villa which will save you some money.
