Cozumel Island Famous for scuba diving, Cozumel is a Mexican island in the Caribbean Sea and a popular port of call for cruise ships. When I went, a Disney cruise happened to be stopping there. I'd like to take that one someday. Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park on the island has various diving spots in the Mesoamerican Reef area, as well as an underwater museum with statues on the seabed. Chankanaab National Park is an eco-park surrounding a lagoon, and dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles live in the caves under the sea. You can get around the island by motorbike or car. It's small enough to get around in a day, but if you want to dive, you'll want to have 2 or 3 days to enjoy it. There are ferries from Playa del Carmen. #Mexico #Playa del Carmen #Cozumel

#2023travelwish Best Vacation ever while Cruising with Royal Caribbean 2022. So much to do and see at every moment on the ship and off. Sunsets that wow. The Crew were a delight and I was so sad to say goodbye. The most relaxing and couple focused trip we have taken and so appropriate for our 27th anniversary. My wish would be to cruise Royal Caribbean yearly.

📍Cozumel When we went on a Caribbean cruise, we stayed in Cozumel, Mexico for a day🇲🇽 Cozumel is one of Mexico's leading tourist destinations, and is famous for marine sports such as diving. What kind of island is it? Of course, it's a Mexican resort, but the sea is beautiful, there are many colorful buildings, and you can feel the Mexican atmosphere just by walking around✨ You can shop, eat at restaurants, try sweets and tacos🌮, and enjoy tequila tastings for free🥰 Please visit Cozumel for marine sports or a vacation🇲🇽 #CaribbeanSea#Mexico#Cozumel

Xplor We also joined a tour group. Joining a tour group actually only includes tickets, pick-up and a simple explanation. As soon as we arrived at the park and got the locker key and helmet, the staff pushed the photo package for us. At first it said $79 USD-2 people, then later I asked if it could be cheaper, he said $72 USD-2 people, I thought maybe I would only come once, it would be good as a souvenir, so I took this package, the photos taken were really good, with a flash 📸️, dark places were also taken very clearly, but the photo position was sometimes very sudden (capture the natural side 🤣🤣), and when playing rafting, you can pay attention to your sitting posture 🤣🤣 (you can also use a waterproof bag to take photos with your phone 😊😊) After changing clothes, I read the guide that said to play the dry game first and then the wet game, but because I was impatient and afraid of the crowds, I immediately lined up to play the zip line. There are four zip lines, three of which can be played by two people, and the last one can be played by one person. You will get wet in the water in the end, but it's quite fun. After that we played ATV, which was fun, but I think it is a bit dangerous, so I suggest you only sit in the driving seat if you know how to drive, or try to share a car with others. After that, we played zipline and rafting, and had lunch, which was also a buffet. The quality was very good, with many choices 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Finally, we played river swim, which was also quite fun. Looking at the scenery in the cave, swimming slowly in a life jacket, it was quite relaxing 🤣🤣 #Cancun #CancunTourism #Mexico #MexicoTravel #CancunVacation #CancunGroup #xplor #CancunXPark #WaterPark #cancun# #mexico #Vacation

Measuring about 30 miles long and 9 miles wide, Isla Cozumel, whose Maya name translate to “Island of the Swallows” a nod to its indigenous bird population. Most of the island’s roads are one-way, and while a coastal highway circles the island. In the 1950s, after explorer Jacques Cousteau and his team discovered the wall of reefs off Cozumel, the island grew in popularity and has since been declared on of the top 5 dive sites in the world! Home to 40 different dives zones!

Our first introduction to the Viva Wyndham Maya was meeting our concierge, Luis Raul, and it couldn't have been better. He was so welcoming, so friendly, so empathetic with my tired 14 year old daughter, that within minutes, he had us slowing down and relaxing. The resort itself it beautiful--everything was amazing. We loved the walking under the palapa covered walkways, reading the information about the wildlife we saw along the paths and the ancient sculptures located on the property, sitting on the patio under the lights and the trees while listening to live music, swimming in the pools and of course at the spectacular beach. Our room was clean and comfortable. Staff checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was great. The buffet had tons of options. We ate in the restaurants twice and those were fabulous as well. I couldn't take part in the activities (yoga, merengue, aerobics) due to a prior injury, but that looked like a lot of fun. There was live music every night on the patio and performances in the amphitheater. As beautiful and fun as the Viva Wyndham Maya is, it really was the staff that made the experience so amazing. Every single employee we encountered was helpful, patient, kind, and polite. Even the bartenders, making drink after drink in the sweltering heat by the pool, had smiles on their faces and would take a second to do a trick for a child, like throwing a piece of ice in the air and catching it behind their back with a cup. I highly recommend this resort to anyone and will go back as soon as I can. #hoteldeals#summertrip#gourmetsummer#exhibition2021#swimmingpoolphotography

Trip To Cozumel In Mexico The island of Cozumel is only 12 miles (19 km) off the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula’s east coast and 44 miles (71 km) south of Cancun. For years, Cozumel was a quite sleepy island that didn’t get many visitors until Jacques Cousteau did a documentary on it after discovering the world class scuba diving at the Palancar Reefs nearby. Since 1961, Cozumel has been known as one of the best scuba diving destinations in the world. In fact for decades since that time, the only tourists visiting the island have been primarily scuba divers. Mainstream tourists went to the resort intensive Cancun in the mainland instead. However, Cozumel became a regular cruise ship port of call in recent years and today it is one of the busiest with two separate terminals. It is common to have five or even six different cruise ships at port on any given day. I’ve been to Cozumel twice, the first time staying several days on a scuba diving vacation and the second time for a day via cruise ship (also scuba dived during my second visit). As a result of the cruise ship boom, there has been lots of retail development along the main waterfront road of Avenida Rafael Melgar in the island’s only town of San Miguel de Cozumel. #givethanks#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

I can’t wait to be somewhere on a beach enjoying a good drink and working on my tan! I would definitely go back to Cozumel, or anywhere tropical honestly! Where is your favorite beach vacation?! #awesomepic

Cozumel has lots of all-inclusive resorts just for adults. On one of our last Vists they made different towel animals for us each day. These are the details that make your trip even more special. Lots of fun and so cute. #givethanks #couplestrip #cozumel #givethanks

Many people have destination weddings in Cozumel. The setting is lovely and the resort can take care of all the details. Our daughters called the bride a princess on the beach. Still a favorite family memory. Can't believe water can be this color blue. #givethanks #wedding #givethanks

#Sign up for May Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 Cozumel Island is a paradise for diving enthusiasts, with well-preserved underwater coral reefs and rich and diverse marine life.

The island also has tropical rainforests and Mayan ruins, suitable for travelers who love nature and history. I was deeply impressed by the tranquility and beauty of Cozumel. It was an unforgettable island adventure.

Where to go in winter? Of course, go to the island! When it comes to the amazing islands I’ve visited, Cozumel has to be on the list. What are you waiting for? Come with me to this unpopular island! 🚗Transportation strategy: Take a ferry from Playa de Carmen to Cozumel, the boat ride takes about 30 minutes 🕙Opening hours: All day 🌟Highlights: Cozumel Island is located in the Caribbean Sea. Compared with Isla Mujeres, the commercial atmosphere here is not so strong. Most of the tourists who come here for vacation are North Americans, with fewer Asians. It is also one of the best diving spots in the Caribbean. There are also many diving resorts in the surrounding area, and there are also comprehensive diving courses. If you have enough time, you can stay here for a few nights to learn diving. In addition, diving here is also a good choice. You can find a local travel agency to sign up for a sea diving program. If you come with friends, you can also experience the sea party program. 📌Tips for playing: ✅There are many beach clubs on Cozumel Island, with their own restaurants and bars. You can swim, dive, etc. here, or just lie down on a lounge chair to make your vacation more comfortable. ✅Swimming novices can also experience diving, provided they are not afraid of water. The coach will provide careful guidance throughout the whole process. As long as you master the method of breathing in water, you can "fly" in the water to your heart's content. ✅There are quite a lot of restaurants on the island, mainly serving Western food, with an average cost of about 200-300 yuan per person. Internet celebrity cafes will be cheaper. In addition, the ice cream is also very delicious and worth a try. ✅In addition to going out to sea, there are also many cultural attractions on the island. For example, the Cozumel Museum has exhibits with English annotations, which allows people to gain a deeper understanding of the island's history and culture. ✅The transportation on the island is not very convenient and the legendary public bus was not found. The Beach Club on the island is far from the pier, so it is recommended to rent a car to travel around the island for convenience!
