My husband and I took a vacation to Cozumel for our anniversary and stayed at Secrets Aura Cozumel. We had such an enjoyable time. The restaurants were all great and the pool was relaxing. Thank you for adding this hotel to your list.
Thank you for these great suggestions. My family and I are going to use this guide when looking for places to stay on our next vacation in Cozumel.
Happy to help. Enjoy your visit!
We decided to go on an adults only getaway with our family members and I am so glad I found your post. It was so easy to choose our resort based on your info here. Thank you. We ended up at the Explorean and it was perfect.
A friend recommended we look at your site before booking our hotel and after we read this post we decided to stay at an all inclusive. You make each place sound phenomenal so it was difficult to make a choice but we just booked the Cozumel Palace and are looking forward to our trip. Thanks for your help!
The one thing we wanted was to stay at one of the famous all inclusive resorts in the Yucatan, after searching through so many different websites this was a great find. Helpful in every way. I am sure this post will be a lifesaver for many others as well. Cheers.
