Cozumel Vacations

Located off the eastern coast of Mexico is the island of Cozumel. Although Cozumel has much to offer as both a busy cruise port and cultural destination, Cozumel vacations are primarily known for providing some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling in the world. Cozumel vacations include good access to Playa del Carmen and the Mayan Riviera by way of a thirty-minute ferry ride from the Island. In Cozumel, tourists that are more bohemian in nature will appreciate the local town culture. Shopping in the area is good as well, featuring duty free shops, a market, and some local shops. The restaurants, on the other hand, offer local cuisine, while Carlos & Charlies and Senior Frogs are available for those in search of typical North American dining while on a Cozumel holiday. To excite the senses, you may select from watersport activities like sea fishing, zip lining, and cave diving.  Meanwhile, for those interested in golfing, there is a golf course available on the island.

Getting Around: For those wishing to do some exploring, rent a car, jeep, moped or scooter for the greatest amount of freedom. Taxis are also available, but heavy traffic at the bottom of the cruise ship port could cause delays. 

Weather: During the high tourist season, which is from December through March, temperatures average around 29C during the daytime, dropping to 21C overnight. The hottest season is in August, with daytime highs reaching an average of 35C but the heat is offset by the ocean breezes, making Cozumel vacations still comfortable at this time of year. 

Where to Stay: There are many hotels and resorts available when booking a Cozumel vacation package including some all-inclusive options. Select from properties like the 3-star Playa Azul, 4-star Melia Cozumel, and 4.5-star Occidental Grand Cozumel. 

Attractions: Cozumel is rated as the second best scuba diving site in the world, second to the Great Barrier Reef. The black coral Palancar Reef has stunning marine and plant life, and no Cozumel vacation would be complete without experiencing the wonders that wait beneath the surface of the coastal waters. Meanwhile, the Chakanaab Lagoon offers one of the most magnificent snorkelling opportunities anywhere.
