A Mexican heart...with a Caribbean soul

Color your dreams on the island of Cozumel, a vibrant land steeped in rich history with beauty that stretches far beyond its spectacular shores. Just twelve miles off the Yucatan coast, Cozumel draws divers and snorkelers from around the globe. Once described by Jacques Cousteau as the best diving area in the world, famous Palancar Reef lies three miles offshore and is renowned for its underwater clarity of up to 150 feet. On the eastern side, white beaches are left as they were when Mayans inhabited the island. Take a jeep tour, explore ruins in the jungles, or snorkel in the Chankanaab Lagoon, which features the only inland coral reef formation in the world.

The west side of the island, is where everyone lives and stays when they come to visit. This is because, unlike the east side of Cozumel which faces the open Atlantic, the west side has electricity. It is also largely sheltered from the strong winds and battering surf that are near constant visitors on 'the wild side'.
