What to Know About All Inclusive Resorts in Cozumel

• Diving and snorkeling are the main event. Cozumel sits on the Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest reef system on the planet, so drift dives, wall dives, and shore snorkeling top the list at most resorts.
• Getting here usually means a ferry. Many travelers fly into Cancun, transfer to Playa del Carmen, and catch the quick passenger ferry across to the island, so build a little extra travel time into your plans.
• There’s a mix of adults only and family friendly resorts. Romantic hideaways like Secrets Aura Cozumel sit alongside family favorites with kids’ clubs and pools, so you can match the resort to your group.
• The best swimming and reefs are often offshore. Cozumel’s calmest beaches and healthiest reefs tend to line the sheltered western and southern coasts, where many resorts offer house reefs and dive docks.
