TC's Cozumel List -- Updated 2/2011
Hello (or should I say Hola). I'm just back from this year's trip to Cozumel. A few old favorites have gone missing and several wonderful new places sprouted, so I have done a bit of housekeeping to my list of restaurants and shopping. If you have the old list and would like a new one, post your email address. I don't post the whole list here for a couple of reasons. I don't want to be accused of promoting on the site (although I don't work for any of the places in Cozumel) and I want to keep the list up to date as much as possible after each trip.

Hi TC,
My family is going to Cozumel April 30th-May 9th. We want to snorkel, shop, and see any local sites that are unique to the island. I understand renting a vehicle is risky (laws, accidents, etc.) is there a huge cost difference between that and taxis? Also is there anything to know about Cinco de Mayo - things to avoid or see if you've been there during the festival? One of my sons is a photographer and would love to get some cool pictures. We have also heard about Isla Mujeres, have you ever been? Thank you and please send me your list! my email is [email protected]

Hi, I will send you my "to do" list via email. Cinch de Maya is (much to the surprise of most Americans) not a big holiday in Mexico. Following is a link to an interesting article explaining why.

For photography, there are many wonderful opportunities on the island. I especially love strolling around the town square on Sunday evenings to capture the locals at play.
Renting a car is neither difficult or risky. The cost is about $30 per day for a fully insured vehicle. Taxi costs depend on where your hotel is located. Our condo is about 1.5 miles north of town. A taxi cost 60 pesos, one-way (about $5). If hour hotel is in the southern zone, it is more costly and a car might be to your advantage.
Isla is very nice. It is not near Cozumel. To get there you must take the ferry to the mainland, then a 1.5 hour bus ride to Cancun, then another ferry to Isla. Not exactly an easy day trip.

Can you send me your updated list. [email protected]
Will be in Cozumel on a cruise in June. Looking for a clean beach, fresh water pool, no sand fleas, safe that offers access to cruisers. Any ideas? What is your favorite hotel/club that meets these requirements.

Hi P, I don't have a favorite that follows your criteria. We own a condo, so I'm at our pool and beach. However there are several nice beach clubs for your needs. I'm sure your cruise line will offer to take you to them. You can go to any on your own by taxi and probably save some money.
Here's a link with descriptions for some of the beaches. Typically there will be a lot of people at these beaches, but not in June. Playa Azul is a nice little hotel if that's what you want. Many others have lots of toys, if that's your deal. We have enjoyed a place called Nachi CoCom in years past. They had great food.

Hola TC,
I would be interested in a copy of your list. My husband and I try to get to Cozumel annually as well. We are going for the second time this year in June.
We love to try new places and we have our 'go to' favorites as well.
Happy travels,
Amy

Could you send me your list - [email protected].
We are planning on going in the fall with some friends. They went earlier this year and we went last year for a short trip but are always interested in finding new places.
Thanks, Eva
