El Cozumeleño Beach Resort - All Inclusive

“No frills fantastico.”

The beach was great and snorkeling was excellent. Room was clean and the service was top notch. Everyone was very friendly, especially Julieta the host. If you want a simple and relaxing vacation without breaking the bank and love to swim and snorkel, this is the place to visit.

WOW! This little gem of a resort met all of our needs. Firstly, the ocean was crystal clear and abundant with reef life. Beach front sandy and easy to enter , swim and relax. Excellent snorkelling. Smaller area with loungers and overhead grass umbrellas at beachront. Definitely a small, quiet, older resort with a lot of charm! We booked on the low season for a first time and will most definitely book again. Excellent staff and service! The rooms were very spacious and clean. We requested a 5th floor, all rooms are oceanview and spacious and have balaconies. Everthing was in good working order, the only thing was our bed was uncomfortable, so we requested a foam on top, and that was taken care of immediately. Location 10 minutes from the airport, so short transfer to resort. You will need to take a taxi into town, we paid $12US dollars one way. There are a few local restaurants within walking distance, but we chose to stay and dine at the resort. The food was pretty good and delicious! We ate in the EL LA CARTE Restaurant each evening, absolutley amazing and beautiful presentation and options!!! Service was excellent.** Men must wear long pants and dress shirt, ladies to wear dress and sandals. So pack these clothes. There is a large covered beach dining building with slight breeze on the coean front, breakfast and lunch and snacks served here. Waiters will take your order from a menu. Same food fare each day but great variety. I loved the fresh made smoothies at the bar each morning before 11 am. Their green juice and hibiscus juice was so delicious, no sugars all natural. the pools were awesome for such a small resort, we loved the waterfall pool area to cool off and get out of the direst sun. There is a pool bar hut area and kiddie pool area with small overhead umbrellas sprinkler, we just lounged in this kiddie pool. There was no entertainment whatsoever, but likley because it was low season. We had a free snorkel tour with resort guide, this is a must do!!! Bring your own snorkel and mask and fins, they do have some available there, but you will want to do this over and over again. Tips fully accepted. We will most definitely be returning to this amazing high quality for your value lovely gem of a resort!!!

“Best vacations ever!”

We’ve stayed here at least 6 times and we love the place! All the staff are helpful and friendly. We have everything we need and more!

“Mostly Great! For the money this place is a winner!”

I was here June 7-12 2026. I have been a guest since 1997. Arrived on United at 3:30 pm. Flight was perfect and everything was on time. Cozumel customs super easy for me, just scanned my bags and headed out the door. That first area has grown larger--the area where you are swarmed by sales people. Make sure you just say no thank you and the transportation company like "FlexShuttle" and they will leave you alone. Right through that door is the Flex Shuttle and CozuShuttle area. It cost me $14 to El Cozumeleno. I was there in 15 minutes. Check in was easy and I was given the 9th floor which was what I reserved. Everything in the room was great. I do think it is time to get new safes. They are pretty bad. I took several pictures of the room and submitted them along with this review. The "dressing area" is beautiful. You just don't get rooms like this anymore. They show beautiful architecture and well used spaces. The game changer moment is when I was given the new armbands are also a key to your room. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this upgrade. I am not sure of the other floors. The first time I stayed here was in 1997 in the old original section. Even when the new South building was built you were given an actual key, then came the plastic card system and now this. Awesome! My bed did not have a topper put on as I previously requested, but it was actually comfortable as it was. I had a great bed in wonderful shape. You definitely don't feel closed in. The ceiling to floor glass windows really show off the view. I did need to use the fan I previously requested and got. On the last day the room finally got down to 23 degrees. I denied daily cleaning because they prop the door open and then the air conditioning has to play catch up. I don't clean my house everyday anyway, do you? LOL! The fridge was very handy as I like a cold Monster in the morning. I always had plenty of water in my room and their was always delicious chilled water with pineapple available by the pool. I suggest that you bring your own thermal cup. I did not have a bad meal there. My favorites were the gilled Seabass and grilled shrimp, pico de gallo and guacamoIe . I ordered off menu most of the time. I wish they would have had actual breakfast link sausage. I do believe it was actually cut up hotdogs :( . The fresh pineapple was to die for and totally made up for the sausage issue. Bacon would be nice on the buffet instead of having to ask for it. You have to wait in line to do that so the rest of your food gets cold. The honey and syrup were top notch. Drink mixers are below basic alcohol and flavoring. Non existent was getting a drink at the swim up bar or the high quality of liquor that the social media ad people representing El Cozumeleno showed several times and I even asked, Is this for real and I was told yes. There were always chairs available out in the sun and in the covered areas. If you were up at a reasonable time like 8 am you should be able to get a palapa. I did reserve by putting my own from home beach towel on it. No missing towel issues that way. I did use this space and not leave it empty most of the day. Cigarette smoking in that area was manageable. Only a couple of people smoked. I am a non-smoker that is very sensitive to smoke even outside. Now one thing I did have issue with was there were one or two people that actually smoked in the most popular eating area that is close to both the pools and the ocean but still in the dining area. Don't be this person out of respect for others workers and visitors alike and sure has hell don't use their drinking cups for your own soaking ashtray.... NASTY. Just be respectful about it. It is illegal in Mexico and that was just wrong. My other complaint was the way management handles a personal gift to a staff member. I needed to fill out a form with all of my information signifying it was a gift. No problem... but then I asked the server what their family thought of the gift and he said he has to wait for 3 days before he can take it home. Management rules. What, sure have someone fill out the form.... but then you still control when the person actually receives it. And again....That is just wrong : ( . I am not mentioning names because I hear most of the staff doe not care for this person. Understandable in cases like this. If I were a millionaire and able to purchase a large property in Mexico, I would buy this place. I love the uniqueness, the architecture, the staff, the location and the beach it sits on. Please know that the many social media ads ran are fake news. There were no tables with umbrellas with two chair by the pool that happened to be shown on a day that I was there. This place carries itself well enough as it is. Don't rely on their photo enhancements. This does nothing but disappoint people. There is a group on social media that bears the name of El Coz but if you challenge the Admin.... they boot you off and continue to give fake or exaggerated information. Please feel free to shoot me any questions. I will help you out. For the money this place is a winner!
