Fodor's Expert Review Playa Azul Golf and Beach Resort

Playa Azul feels like a charming, understated Mexican hacienda—there's elegance in its simplicity. Spacious rooms overlooking the courtyard pool and ocean are tastefully decorated with Mexican furnishings. Palapas shade the lounge chairs on the sandy beach, and you can arrange snorkeling or diving trips at the hotel's dive shop. Green fees at the nearby Cozumel Country Club are included in the rates; if you prefer pampering, an on-site spa offers body and beauty treatments. The all-inclusive option includes the restaurant's à la carte menu, and the adjacent beach club serves lighter fare.
