Occidental Cozumel: Very Relaxing

Rooms are large and really comfortable beds with TONS of pillows. Bathrooms large and beautiful. Grounds gorgeous but no ocean views due to foliage. Lots of wildlife which we found fascinating Food ok but could be 5 star if they improved food choices and lack of staff. The staff who are there work super hard and are very friendly but they are understaffed for sure. This is a very quiet resort which has a separate adult pool which is nice and quiet. Evening entertainment is very simple [... read more] and there is no theatre which didn't bother us at all. We would return for sure.

El Cozumeleno Beach: Great hotel!

Beautiful location. A1 hotel. Friendly professional staff and really excellent alacart restaurant. I'd definately go again. Town is a $7 cab ride away. Golf across the road. Plenty of scuba bear by. The hotel staff really is top drawer.

Zel Cozumel: Great holiday

The hotel was very nice. Smaller resort and good food. Booked the Premium Oceanfront room and just to be clear the room is located on the 9th to 11th floor in the tower. If you are not good with heights this is not the Room for you. We upgraded and were given the Royal Suite room located right on the beach. Lovely room close to the beach. Would highly recommend.

Allegro Cozumel: Great Times in Mexico

I had never been to Cozumel, Mexico and I can honestly say that I will return. The hotel was very clean and everything was close. We decided to sit by the beach bar one day and it was wonderful as one side was beach and the other side was pool. The housekeeping staff were cleaning daily, even the rails on each of the porches which I was impressed with. All the staff were exceptional especially George (english translation) at breakfast and lunch. One day we asked for champagne/orange j [... read more]uice and Bailey's for our coffee and everyday he remembered and had ready for us. On his day off, he made sure that his co-worker was aware. The only negative thing I can say was no free wifi in the lobby. It is a very quiet resort, but a nice bar downstairs, instead of the inside sports bar would make a difference. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. From the web you would assume it would be full of children with the Pirate themed pool but it it a place for everyone!!!! I definitely will visit Allegro Cozumel again.

Allegro Cozumel: Great holiday!

The grounds of this resort were very well kept. The rooms were very nice. The thatched roof added an authentic touch. The entertainment that we saw was mediocre. The food was good especially the Italien restaurant. The maid could have cleaned a bit better. I found the floor to be gritty at times. The towels were not always replaced. The beach was good. It would be nice if there was a comfortable place to sit out after dinner to have drinks. We had a great time and I would return here.

Sunscape Sabor Cozumel: Awesome experience

Had a blast at this resort second time around had some troubles with the room but they were quick to take care of the problems and discounted at checkout for our troubles food was great and staff were very friendly . Izzy was the best and funniest bartender ever all and all would love to go back a 3rd time some day

Allegro Cozumel: Value for money

Clean rooms, grounds and amazing staff! All staff are so friendly and eager to help from Sergio at the front desk to Monica who greets you at the buffets and to Jorge who brings you your water, coffee and yummy alcoholic beverages ! Stunning beach with the most amazing sunsets oh and you get service on the beach for your drinks ! Loved it, recommend it and would go back !

Occidental Cozumel: Awesome vacation

Occidental was an amazing resort, everything was so well looked after, very tropical looking. Food was fantastic everywhere on the resort. This was probably the best resort all inclusive that we have been to yet. We stayed in the royal luxury level, rooms were absolutely beautiful but the only complaint I had about them was they weren't consistent on keeping shampoo/conditioner and face clothes stocked in our room. Fridge was supposed to be stocked everyday with beverages but they also forgot [... read more] to fill the beer each time. But all in all we would 100% go back to this resort for sure and would recomend to everyone.

Occidental Cozumel: Absolutely beautiful resort and great for kids

We had a great experience. We have travelled to about 10 other all inclusive resorts across the Caribbean (Cuba, DR, Roatan) with our now 7 year old. This was our first trip with her and our 20 month old. The resort is beautiful. Rooms are super clean and updated. Food was good. Food can be a bit repetitive but one of the best we have been to and we usually stay at 4 or 5 stars. The lunch beachside buffet is big and opens very shortly after breakfast ends. There isn't much of a gap between food [... read more] being available which is nice. The pool is right next to the beach which is great for people like me who have a child far more interested in the pool and I want to be at the beach. The kids club staff were amazing. They always had activities for the kids from pool activities to arts and crafts poolside and water balloon fights etc. They were very creative. Evening entertainment is lacking a bit compared to much bigger resorts but since I travel with kids I am ready for bed by 9pm anyway. Coffee is readily available before breakfast even opens which was great for my early morning walks keeping my baby from waking our entire building. Water was calm 5 of 7 days. Snorkelling out front of the resort was boring. Very flat and looked like a sandy field. I am not sure what the hype is about snorkelling there off the resort. Diving was ok. Well organized but diving is much better in Roatan, Honduras. They only have one beach bar with one bartender who hussled, but it was very slow because all of the drinks are made fresh from scratch. Annoying to me because I only drank beer but for those that like sugary fancy drinks you would appreciate the effort they put into the drinks. Overall we would definitely go back to this resort because it was smaller, and great for the kids. The entertainment staff (only 4 people) were incredible and were really what made the trip. They deserve a lot of credit.

Allegro Cozumel: Fantastic spot!

Best trip we've had, and we've been to Cuba, DR and Mexico before. What a paradise this is! Stunning beach, well manicured grounds, not too big. Everything you need for a fantastic stay. Food was great and varied, something for everyone! Drinks were good and free flowing. The staff was outstanding. Special thanks to Benjamin, Rafael, Luis, Erik, and Libia and Marina at the concierge. Our first room had a small flood issue and they handled it perfectly, upgrading us to a premium level room and ma [... read more]king sure we had everything we needed. We went into town and had a great time exploring some of the local culture. Some of the main strip can be pricey as it's cruise-ship oriented but don't be afraid to explore a few blocks deeper into town. Snorkelling off shore was a ton of fun and we saw a lot of colourful fish, cuttlefish, stingray and a barracuda. Fantastic for kids, with a large splash park and activity area, but this time we went without ours and there were plenty of quiet places for adults to sit back and relax. I would go back to this resort in a heartbeat. You can see they are working hard at keeping it at a high level, with much maintenance and updating going on daily (tending to the grounds, touch up painting, improving structures etc). It really felt like a little slice of paradise. Rooms on the upper level are loud, that's true. There was a bird who landed on our thatched roof each morning to sing and sometimes you'd swear he was in the bed beside you. But that didn't really bother us too much. If you want a quieter room, ask for one away from the main paths/pools and on the lower level.

El Cozumeleno Beach: Nice Resort

Friendly staff, clean rooms, food was not out of this world but okay. We were with a large group and were taken care of very well. The weather was very cooperative with highs in the low 80's everyday

Secrets Aura Cozumel: Great Resort - Watch out for Sales Scam

Had a wonderful time at this resort. Stayed in the preferred section and loved the room and service. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food was fabulous, didn't have a bad meal all week. Room service was a nice touch as well. Lots of chairs and beach towels. This would have been a perfect holiday if it wasn't for being smoothly roped into signing up with their Unlimited Vacation Club program. BEWARE this is a SCAM. It costs a lot of money and the benefits are not as good as the [... read more]y make them out to be. After coming home and looking closer at the 41 page contract I found out that even with their discounts I can still get a cheaper package through an online booking agent. You would be hard press to ever break even during the term of the contract (30yrs) even with the free weeks they offer. Mexican law has a 5 day back out clause which is too late by the end of your holiday. I am out a pile of money that I will probably never see again. Avoid the resort tour and enjoy your holiday. Don't fall for the free gifts because these guys are smooth and good. I know about time share scams and my wife and I fell for this one. It's not a time share but a SCAM all the same. I do not recommend because of the high pressure sales tactics they put their guest thru. SHAME ON YOU Secrets.

El Cozumeleno Beach: A wonderful stay with excellent service, beach and snorkeling!

1) lovely beach, snorkeling is fantastic 2) pretty grounds, pools are pretty but cold 3) guest rooms are sub par, noisy AC 4) lovely beach huts but must reserve one by 7am 5) order food to your beach hut, very good if ordered off menu for lunch 6) breakfast buffet is nice, lovely view of ocean 7) it is worth getting in line at 7am to get a daily reservation at La Veranda. Excellent service and the food is very nice! Dress code but it is easy, they are fine with running shoes, jeans and  [... read more]a nice top (no shorts, jumpers, flip flops etc) 8) Buy your own snorkeling gear to really enjoy all day fun. Pools are cold but Ocean is super warm 9) note that most places in Cozumel only take cash including the steak/lobster house down the road 10) ATM at hotel next door gives $USD Overall, this hotel was great. The service is fabulous and the drinks keep coming all afternoon on the beach. Food was good if you did the breakfast buffet, ordered off menu for lunch on the beach or at one of the little bistros and did the La Veranda for dinner. If you can put up with getting up early to have an incredible beach hut and dinner reservation and don't mind an old hotel room with possibly a very loud AC this is a great resort with super value for the $$$.

Allegro Cozumel: Great Resort

It was a clean resort and well laid out making it easy to find what you needed. For the price that we paid, it was fantastic, rooms were clean and beds were comfy and staff were friendly. Snorkeling directly off the beach was decent with plenty of fish to see. I had only one real issue with the resort in that it didn't have a 24 hour snack bar, which isn't the end of the world but would have been a "nice to have".

Allegro Cozumel: Incredible Scuba retreat!

The resort itself is very well maintained and situated in a perfect spot for easy access to incredible scuba sites. Food was fresh and good. Beach and waterfront was clean and maintained. Would recommend.

Allegro Cozumel: Nice resort

Very nice clean resort . Had a show head,and front door, repairs done very quickly . We asked night before and was told yes but did not a coma date us with food for a 6:30 all day tour not even coffee..

Allegro Cozumel: Beautiful Resort

Beautiful resort, not large easy to get around. Nice that you could sit at pool area and also be close to the ocean. Many planned activities. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms clean . We are not picky eaters however we had some difficulty at evening meal. Breakfast buffet excellent. But evening meal did not appeal to us.Food was never hot just luke warm We enjoyed Italian restaurant. Excellent resort for families , felt very safe and secure.

El Cozumeleno Beach: good resort

The grounds were beautiful, but not enough shade or chairs. We enjoyed the mini - golf . The dinners were not so great. The desserts were pretty much the same every night. but the breakfast and the lunches were o.k. All the people working were great and very helpful. We were very disappointed in the entertainment at night.

Occidental Cozumel: Nice Resort

This resort was I guess a standard all inclusive, beautiful grounds in the jungle, the beach was nice but a bit messy with seaweed, and shells but it is a typical beach, the snorkeling is pretty great - lots of fish to see. The food wasn't horrible, lots I didn't try as didn't no really what they were, or had something I didn't like, there was always a good variety at the buffets if you chose to try everything, they also offer to cook up fresh fish or meats or omelets, eggs, etc. They have al  [... read more]a carte resturants, you have to book reservations, 2 at a time early in the morning and wait in line to do it. Staff works very hard and are always friendly or helpful, front desk would be better to have a few more english speaking, seems they had none of our requests at all, so had to ask when we arrived, it worked out but only because the supervisor was there. The rooms are very nice and large, cleaned well. Bar staff at the pool and beach were always busy, they needed some help, the entertainment was fun they tried to get people involved. Kayaks and snorkeling were free for an hour. If you don't like to or can't walk or go up stairs, this isn't the place for you, I didn't mind at all. Nightly entertain was funny, and interesting, the disco was too loud to the point you had to scream in your friends ear. There is nothing close around to do at night. Rented a car, which is interesting, the gas stations swarm you and you can't see what they put in in gas - and tell you how is it now, then he hasn't put in the right amount, so check the actual pump for numbers and litres pumped, happened to most who rented. Also, biggest turn off is the damn Occidental so called staffers, that hover and get you to go on a 90 min tour for buying time - high pressed at the end, but they scam you into going for a really cheap rental price or free snorkeling trip. They shouldn't be allowed to where those shirts - it looks like they are the staff - they are NOT! just sales men. They warn you but when you see they are part of the hotel you think you are in the right place to rent, there is another place for excursion and rentals. should be clearer. We loved touring the island and going into the town it was fun and felt very safe and we were there for Carnival so extremely busy. Check taxi prices - the hotel at the front the guy will tell you the prices, and ask on the way back to be sure. Over all we had a great time, hotel is average I would say maybe 3.5 - 4 star. Not are nice as other places I have been in Mexico but again it was a great holiday, met a lot of fun people that made it better!

Allegro Cozumel: Fantastic Resort!

This was a beautifully kept resort-the staff were friendly and professional. The food was fantastic-there were a number of comments on Trip Advisor regarding the line-ups for the buffets, but we found even with a long line the guests got sat quickly and the buffet offerings were different every night. The a la carte restaurants were all fabulous, with the Oriental being the most fun & delicious. Rooms were small but beautiful and the cleaning staff was amazing. My only suggestion would be  [... read more]for more "evening" outside seating areas. Our group of 13 found it difficult to find an area to gather and socialize after dinner. The Sports Bar was open until 1:30 am, but the seats are inside the main building. With the beautiful weather we would have rather been able to sit outdoors!
