Where to Sleep in Cozumel
Cozumel has everything you could desire for a perfect tropical getaway; a warm climate, sparkling blue waters, delicious food, and friendly locals. The tourism boom of recent years has helped this little island establish some incredible places to stay. From high-end resorts to laid back hostels, Cozumel has exactly what you need for a good night’s rest. Here is our guide for where to stay in Cozumel.
Hostels
Hostel Tropico 20 Degrees
Clean and simple, exactly what you expect from a hostel. Different dorm types to choose from, great social spaces, a good sized kitchen and super clean bathrooms. The highlight of this place is the location. Steps away from the ferry pier and the ocean is right across the road.
Hostel Auikyani
Newly opened and very cozy. Amenities include a mini kitchen, comfortable common spaces and a rooftop terrace. Small dorm rooms allow for more privacy, though the hostel also offers a few private rooms as well. Great location, walking distance to town center and the ferry pier.
Budget Hotels

Hotel B Cozumel
A delightful island paradise is found when you arrive at Hotel B Cozumel. The rooms are comfortable and many have a private balcony overlooking the sea. The grounds and infinity pool will leave you breathless. Guests can easily access Mexico’s coral reef from docks on site, which ensures endless hours of snorkeling or diving fun.
Villas el Encanto Cozumel
This is the jungle oasis you have been dreaming of. Each villa is stylishly decorated and includes anything you may need during your stay. The property has a kitchen available for guests, an inviting pool, and an enchanting garden with hammocks and lounge chairs. Incredible value.

Staff Picks
Coral Princess Golf and Dive Resort
Staff Pick – This simple but very well curated hotel is an excellent choice. I love the location, the on-site ocean access and the pool area. Nothing too fancy, just done well. The cleanliness of the entirety of the place is on point. Great staff. Guests of the hotel are given discounts on the golf course green fees plus they have a great dive shop on-premises!
Update February 2021: The Golf course has closed indefinitely as of January 31st, 2021 due to Covid. Hopefully, it will reopen someday in the future.
Hacienda San Miguel Hotel and Suites
Staff Pick – a charming, traditional Mexican hacienda! This place makes me feel like I’m staying with the Mexican abuela (grandma) I never had. Gorgeous gardens, great food, perfectly relaxed atmosphere. If you are looking for something different and spectacular, this is the spot.

Thank you for making our hotel search so easy. You really nailed it here. We stayed at Casa Mexicana and splurged for our last two nights at the Coral Princess, it was fantastic. Thanks again!
