Hello (or should I say Hola). I'm just back from this year's trip to Cozumel. A few old favorites have gone missing and several wonderful new places sprouted, one way cheap car rentals so I have done a bit of housekeeping to my list of restaurants and shopping. If you have the old list and would like a new one, post your email address. I don't post the whole list here for a couple of reasons. I don't want to be accused of promoting on the site (although I don't work for any of the places in Cozumel) and I want to keep the list up to date as much as possible after each trip.
My family is going to Cozumel April 30th-May 9th. We want to snorkel, shop, and see any local sites that are unique to the island. I understand renting a vehicle is risky (laws, accidents, etc.) is there a huge cost difference between that and taxis? Also is there anything to know about Cinco de Mayo - things to avoid or see if you've been there during the festival? One of my sons is a photographer and would love to get some cool pictures. We have also heard about Isla Mujeres, have you ever been? Thank you and please send me your list! my email is skroach@charter.net
Renting a car is neither difficult or risky. The cost is about $30 per day for a fully insured vehicle. Taxi costs depend on where your hotel is located. Our condo is about 1.5 miles north of town. A taxi cost 60 pesos, one-way (about $5). If hour hotel is in the southern zone, it is more costly and a car might be to your advantage.
one way cheap car rentals Will be in Cozumel on a cruise in June. Looking for a clean beach, fresh water pool, no sand fleas, safe that offers access one way cheap car rentals to cruisers. Any ideas? What is your favorite hotel/club that meets these requirements.
Hi P, I don't have a favorite that follows your criteria. We own a condo, so I'm at our pool and beach. However there are several nice beach clubs for your needs. I'm sure your cruise line will offer to take you to them. You can go to any on your own by taxi and probably save some money.
Here's a link with descriptions for some of the beaches. Typically there will be a lot of people at these beaches, one way cheap car rentals but not in June. Playa Azul is a nice little hotel if that's what you want. Many others have lots of toys, if that's your deal. We have enjoyed a place called Nachi CoCom in years past. They had great food.
We are going for 5 days in November. I would be grateful if you sent the list. We went last year and Especias and La Choza were our favorites. Would like to try some of the Economias (sp?). Thanks. kdannenb@sbcglobal.net
Hi Grandma, No, I don't include condo suggestions in the list, but I would be happy to give you some information. After you get my emails, write back with your parameters -- how big, approx pricing, on the water, etc. I can give you some information on those that I have seen.
Nonetheless, all was good and nothing one way cheap car rentals to worry about in end. Only hint of trouble was crooked PDC (Pemex) one way cheap car rentals attendant who attempted to cheat. Tried to double charge-pointed up claiming overcast prevented AMEX charge going through. Went over to the side called AMEX who confirmed charge DID go though man was cheat. A very nice taxi driver one way cheap car rentals came over said this was common scam. DH went to station mgr requested our cash back in pleasant way. Mgr also claimed cloud cover ruse but since we were persistent and told what AMEX said the crooked attendent returned one way cheap car rentals our money. We don't speak Spanish one way cheap car rentals and were at a disadvantage. (TO DO: learn Spanish) We rented a car from Thrifty (I think) had coat hanger for an antennae w/a squealing engine but made it to Tulum and back w/no mishaps.
The Mexican people were kind and honest folks and we loved this area. TC, I see you are an expert and would love to follow your recommendations. I am particularly interested one way cheap car rentals in hearing local music so keeping watch out for posters on anything going on Nov 26-Dec3.
OOPs... meant to say went to Tulum and Chichen Itza (last year) in our little whinnying rental. Very happy, by the way, we did not listen to some Americanos who said don't rent a car down there. We were just fine, maybe slightly worried but it offered an adventure of sorts and definite excitement that frankly is no different than going into bad areas in our own country.
I would appreciate your list. Could you also help with ideas on lodging? I am looking for the best deal on lodging that is decent.. I would be upset to stay some place dirty or with worn furnishings etc but do not require an AI or activites one way cheap car rentals etc. Thanks! one way cheap car rentals sdelano@sbcglobal.net
One of my favorite small, inexpensive places one way cheap car rentals is Hacienda San Miguel. While it isn't on the water, it is less than a block from the water. It is right on the edge of downtown one way cheap car rentals so you can walk easily to any shopping or dining. It's a great little spot in the $90 - $150 range.
I will be in Cozumel on 12/31 as a stop on my cruise. I already have a rental car and have been to Cozumel before but not in some time. I would love a copy of your list. If you could please one way cheap car rentals send it to glam@nyc.rr.com , and perhaps share 1 or 2 of your best off-the-beaten-path places/things to do there. We plan to visit the ruins, and do some snorkeling (with our on gear), and try to have lunch at a beach shack!
Hi Gordon, Unfortunately there aren't any beach "shacks" left. Most blew away during Hurricane Wilma and have been replaced with fancier beach clubs - complete with umbrellas, cafes, bars, water toys, etc. Probably the best for snorkeling is a place called Money Bar -- south of town. It used to be the old Dhul Ha. The reef there is making a decent comeback after the hurricane, especially if you swim out a way. There is a wicked current, be sure to have fins.
All the shallow, one way cheap car rentals shore accessed reefs were pretty severely damaged, one way cheap car rentals but these have had some help in recovering. They are, however, used by cruise lines for day tours, so you won't have them all to yourself.
Another option for snorkeling is to take a boat excursion to one of the deeper reefs not effected so much by the turmoil of the hurricane. A very good one is Columbia Shallows. one way cheap car rentals Most snorkeling excursions one way cheap car rentals go to Columbia.
You could snorkel at Money Bar, then drive on around the island for lunch at Chen Rio on the "wild side" (the snorkeling isn't any good on that side of the island), then continue on to the ruins and back to town.
Or you could take the cross island road to the ruins first thing, then backtrack to town and head to Buccanos Beach Club on the north end of the island. Its a pretty spot with a nice beach, pool, showers, dressing rooms, restaurant one way cheap car rentals with really good food and some snorkeling just off shore.
This is a great forum! Can I get your list? My husband and I will be going to Playa next month and we're planning on hopping over to Cozumel for a day trip or overnight. I am a diver (somewhat beginner) but my husband is not. With so little time, would love to know what's worth doing there. Thank you! My email is phenjee2@gmail.com.
one way cheap car rentals Hi TC, Hubby and I are headed to Playa Azul for first stay in Cozumel end of February. Would love to get my hands on your list. We've got the golf and snorkelling figured out (that's why we chose Playa Azul), looking at Kinta for dinner for one evening out but am open to your suggestions and 'insider tips'. Have followed you giving advice one way cheap car rentals on other Cozumel forums and am pretty sure you're legit. Thanks so much in advance. maggiebutters@hotmail.com aka Mrs Mantequillas
Hi Elle. I'm not sure if Playa Corona is still called Playa Corona. Of course, the beach is still there. A lot of that area was damaged one way cheap car rentals heavily in hurricane Wilma and some of the clubs went under. "The Money Bar" is in that stretch of reef, so if Corona isn't in existence, try TMB.
Would love your list ( metzhaus@comcast.net ). We are going to Cozumel the end of March and then going to Akumal one way cheap car rentals for a few days. We like to be able to go exploring on our own. We are thinking of renting a car in Cozumel and also renting one once we get to the mainland. Do you think that is advisable? It seems that many people do not recommend rental cars but that's our preferred method of transportation. Thanks in advance for your help. Laurie
Hi TC-My husband and I along with 6 others will be traveling to Cozumel in 3 weeks. One question we have been researching is deciding whether or not to prepay for our transportation from the airport to our hotel and back or just catch a taxi outside of the airport-suggestions? We are all staying at Park Royal, do you know if that is within walking distance to town and do you feel it is a safe walk? We would love to have a copy of your list to take with us, what a great service you are giving to many people. Thank you very much and I will let you know as soon as I receive the list.
May I impose on your generosity and kindness to send me a copy of your Cozumel info? We'll be spending a week next June in Cozumel, followed by one week in Cancun. Thank you in advance. E-mail: tdelab at yahoo dot com
Heading to Cozumel this weekend for a week. Looking for your Cozumel information and tipping information for the Iberostar resort. Am very excited to be going and want to be a proper guest. My email is sandyswanson@sbcglobal.net. Thank you very much in advance.
Hi Elainee. one way cheap car rentals I don't really have any mainland advice. I have only been to Cancun once -- decades ago. We never even take the ferry across to Playa. My list is really geared to people who are spending time on the island of Cozumel.
I would love a copy of your list. We are traveling to Mexico in June and trying to decide between Cozumel or Playa del Carmen. We Are bringing two 18 year old boys. Interested in snorkeling but not diving, also deep sea fishing and just hanging one way cheap car rentals out at the beach and swimming Any advice as to which place would be better?
We are going to an AI there, but might only rent a car for one day to tour the island. Have you spent much time at punta sur or playa palancar? If so, which one would be better? We love nature, but wasn't sure if we could see the same wildlife (crocodiles and birds) at playa palancar
