Cozumel Seaside Retreats, Cozumel Oceanfront vacation rentals

Condominium rental agency

👍👍 I’m almost afraid to post a review for fear that the best place on the island and the best rental company will become ‘discovered’. We have been fortunate to rent from Matias and Isabella for 15+ years now. They, and all of their staff, are so customer focused that you feel like family. Every yea...

Elite Divers International

Diving center

👍👍 One of the best dive shops I have dove with in 17 years. Matteo our dive master was terrific. Since it had been almost 2 years since our last dive we did a refresher in a Cenote.

Blue Project

Diving center

👍👍 Blue Project Diving does a wonderful job providing a truly full-service diving experience! We arrived in Cozumel as newly certified divers, so obviously a little nervous for our first real diving experience (especially since it's drift diving).

👍👍 En tant que Divemaster plongeant depuis presque 25 ans, j'ai eu l'occasion de rencontrer bcp de plongeurs, mais peu d'instructeurs aussi passionnés par leur métier que Cyril. 4 supers matinées ensemble et en tout petit comité uniquement avec un ami qui passait son Advanced OW en même temps : briefi...

Probadita

Creole restaurant

👍👍 This Chef experience was recommended by a friend. We went here for dinner. It is not a restaurant in the traditional sense...but cooking by a local Chef in the comfort of her home. There is a large table setting that awaits you. You can watch them prepare dinner. Bring your own wine! Then enjoy the...
