We have finally visited this island. it was such an experience! SO much fun! I absolutely loved it there! The island is very small but natural beauty is undenable. No wonder it is very popular with the tourists. If you compare it with other Riviera Maya islands, I'd say it shines most if you are a golfer and not looking to save money. Both Playa Del Carmen and Cozumel island are super expensive in everything. Quintana Roo is an expensive state (even comparing to bordering Yucatan) but the prices there are over the roof. But it doesn't make the island worse. The beaches are very cute as well and are definitely superior to Playa in terms of beauty and cleanness. Tons of fish and corals. The whole preservation of the coral that is happening on Cozumel is very curious. Do read informationa and pay attention to that matter when you visit, you will not regret it! If I didn't convince you to take a trip there (especially if you traveled to Playa Del Carmen), just imagine a ferry ride. It's short but comfortable and very fun. The sea colors are beautiful, almost as stricking as on Isla Mujeres. And it's great for sports. There are triathlon, criteruim and two marathons helds early, not counting smaller events. I am sure it is not my last visit to this wonderful island. I ran a half-marathon during Cozumel Marathon with personal record and I am very proud and happy of this. It only happened because the organization was fantastic truly, no hiccups and issues, it was very pleasing experience all the way.
While beach and snorkle are musts on Cozumel and definitely advise you to explore San Miguel de Cozumel as well. The town is very cozy, cozy and well kept. The murals are exciting and numerous as well which definitely reminds you how big a thing it is in Mexico. There is also a lovely Museum of Coxumel. It is not boring as it features some of historic and paleontological moments of islands' s past, a lot of information and artifacts of marine thematic both in terms of corals and the ships, numerious Maya artifacts from local ruins and more. The museum took us a hour and we could have spent more (didn't feel like pushing our luck with a baby, choosing to see all but not as detailed as we could). I do think I will visit again when I visit because the museum is definitely worth it and is very cheap.
