This is a nice 4 star resort in our opinion. We took a puddle jumper flight from Cancun to Cozumel, which only takes 15minutes. When we arrived at the Cozumel airport at 7:30pm it was already closed, so no taxis or hotel shuttles available. We called the hotel, but the receptionist doesn’t have the number to the taxi company? We tracked down a security guard at the airport who was able to provide the number. Thank you to the other reviewers that mention stopping at the Mega supermarket on the way to hotel for snacks/drinks, it’s a giant store & should have everything you could want. Check in was a breeze & they upgraded our room from an oceanfront with balcony to an oceanfront suite. Beautiful room & loved the spa like shower & massive tub with views of the ocean. Toiletries are nice, I wish they gave you bathrooms & we didn’t have a stocked mini bar, I think you need to call for anything you want. But enjoyed the Nespresso type machine & they gave plenty of bottled waters. I would pick the higher level rooms with a balcony instead of ground level beachfront. You have more privacy as there is a common walkway right outside all the ground floor rooms. To make this a 5 star resort, management should have more pool staff, there is no one to help you find chairs, set up towels or open umbrellas. Not to the fault of any staff, they are working very hard, but 2 guys working the pool & beach areas is not enough & there is usually one one bartender, who is crazy busy making drinks, so you’ll wait there too. Meantime in the Caribeño restaurant you have a hostess & 3 or 4 servers & the restaurant is empty. Food & drinks overall were good. Le Cap needs better descriptions for the food menu, we were never really sure what we were ordering. We went to Guidos in town one night, so good! Definitely go. We came here to go diving as scuba du is right on site, however if we return I would find a smaller company to go with. Scuba du has 6 boats so it takes longer in the am to organize that many divers & we had 10 divers on our boat & picked up guests from another resort. Meantime, we talked to other guests that went with smaller operators & they will also pick you up right from the hotel dock, less divers on your boat & you get to come back earlier, so more pool time. There were a lot of babies & kids at the resort, didn’t bother us but in case you’re looking for an adult only type place, this is not it. Unless we sat at a bar, we usually had kids around us at the restaurant, pool & beach. Management should also try to keep kids off the private cabanas over the water, unless they were full, kids run thru them & use the hammocks over the water as trampolines to dive in the water. My favorite things about this hotel were the breakfast buffet, so many options, and the ability to have chairs so close to both the pool and the beach. The water is crystal clear, pack a cheap beach float if you have space. Gym is really nice too. To make it 5 star they should get an addit
