The Best Resorts in Cozumel, Mexico
Cozumel, the largest Caribbean island in Mexico, is a tropical paradise located on the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. Whether you fancy an all-inclusive stay for the whole family or a romantic option for two, discover our guide to the best resorts in Cozumel — bookable with Culture Trip.
1. InterContinental Presidente Cozumel Resort and Spa
Resort
Here’s the definitive all-inclusive luxury resort in Cozumel, with turquoise waters and white sands galore. Even standard rooms are bigger than certain hotel suites, all with simple, fresh, modern decor that lets nature beyond the window take center stage. You’ll get access to four varied restaurants, including the alfresco El Caribeño, an oversized thatched palapa. Regional dishes make the most of the seafood from the waters surrounding the island. The resort is also within walkable distance of the cafes in town.
2. The Explorean Cozumel
Resort
What a refreshing alternative to ordinary Caribbean resort offerings. Buildings in a jungle setting pair wood with other natural materials, and there are no TVs. The open-sided restaurant and bar merge with the lush tropical surrounds, so you switch from frantic to romantic, watching wildlife in the trees. It’s owned by Fiesta Americana, which has a livelier, family-focused resort just a two-minute walk away, so you can dine at any of the restaurants and use all the facilities.

5. Allegro Cozumel
Resort, Hotel
The Spanish hotel giant Barceló makes its stylish mark on Cozumel with this all-inclusive resort set in front of powdery sands. Rooms are spare, decorated in white and have a Mediterranean feel – although furnishings are more plantation-house-like (dark wood, big sofas) in the suites. Add five restaurants, including a top Japanese spot with a teppanyaki grill; five drinking spaces, including a Disco Bar; and five pools, featuring a children’s water park with sea-facing hot tubs for the parents. Result!
6. Iberostar Cozumel
Hotel
Families are in heaven at this great resort in Cozumel. The Star Camp – Iberostar’s fun activity program for 4- to 17-year-olds – lays on cooking classes, treasure hunts and outings in filmmaking. For younger guests, there’s a kids’ pool and a special menu at the international buffet. Book one of the fresh, simply furnished bungalow suites: you’ll get easy access to pools, the spa and the beach. And don’t forget to use the excellent babysitting service.

The rooms are standard fare, simply furnished, and guests can add the “golf package” to the larger rooms to receive unlimited green fees.
