Easily accessible via direct air service to Cozumel Airport or via Cancun, the hotels on Cozumel range from first class to budget, with most located on the west coast of the island, offering spectacular beaches and swimming. San Miguel, the only town on Cozumel Island, provides a fun, beach-town atmosphere with dozens of restaurants and bars and colorful shops selling ceramics and Mexican handicrafts.

The Mayans were the first settlers of Cozumel. They viewed the island as sacred and dedicated it to Ixchel, the moon goddess, by building honorary temples. The oldest Maya ruin on the island dates back to AD 300. It is believed that Mayan women made a pilgrimage to Cozumel to “connect” with Ixchel in the hopes they would give birth to healthy children. San Gervasio is the largest remaining Mayan archaeological site in Cozumel.

The Spanish conquistador, Hernando Cortes, later arrived in Cozumel from Cuba. Folowing him, many notorious pirates including Henry Morgan made Cozumel their lair. Morgan later became the British governor of Jamaica.

Jacques Cousteau visited the island in 1959 and told the world about the beauty of Cozumel”s coral reefs. Cozumel quickly became a popular scuba-diving destination, and diving charters are widely available today.

Cozumel”s economy is now tourism-based, offering a safe and comfortable vacation destination. The people here are friendly and service-oriented, providing a much easier and slower pace than Cancun. If you are looking for a laid back vacation, consider Cozumel.

Cozumel is host to truly excellent scuba and snorkeling activities for all ages and skill levels, and the nearby Mayan ruins are also popular. Travelers enjoy the intimate setting and incredible beaches, undersea accessibility, and shore attractions, making this a perfect Mexico destination for anyone, from first-time family travelers to Cozumel regulars. Travelers looking for outdoor activities like diving, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and more will find in Cozumel a paradise awaiting. The territory at the center of the island is mostly undeveloped and covered by jungle and lagoons – an ideal setting for plant, bird, and animal lovers.

Honeymooners will enjoy colorful sunsets, walks on secluded beaches, and swims through crystal clear water. The dining is excellent and the nightlife lively, but much more sedate than on the Mexico mainland. A perfect mix of Mexico and the Caribbean and a great way to explore the outdoors, Cozumel is a terrific choice for travelers.

Cancún was originally established as a tourist destination in 1967. Construction began in 1970 when Cancún had only three residents. Today it boasts 150 hotels with over 24,000 rooms for the four million tourists who visit Cancún every year. Accommodations in the Riviera Maya include upscale resorts and properties suitable for modest budgets.

Cancún has a warm tropical climate, and the moderate ocean breeze and onshore trade-winds create an enjoyable temperature on the beaches and in the city. Although Cancún is part of the Caribbean hurricane impact zone, it has only been hit by two major hurricanes.

Beach lovers love Cancún. Most activities in Cancún are beach-related. You will find plenty of water sports to try, like sailing, fishing, windsurfing, kayaking, and scuba diving. Cancún offers a range of vacations tailored to families and singles, from budget-oriented to deluxe all-inclusives. The beautiful beaches and coves provide a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, while theme parks and archaeological sites provide adventure. One of the major attractions to the area is the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System extending all the way to Guatemala, making it the second largest reef system in the world.

The Mayan Riviera (Riviera Maya) follows the Caribbean coastline south of Cancún in Quintana Roo, Mexico. It is the stretch of coastline between popular areas Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The Riviera was once called the Cancun-Tulum corridor but was renamed in 1999. Cancún and the surrounding area include historic Mayan sites, and popular tours of Ruinas del Rey, Tulum and Chichen Itza familiarize tourists with the remarkable culture and architecture. The ruins are also abundant with bird life in the surrounding jungle. Archeology is a major attraction in the area, supported by The Instituto Nacional de Archeological, which operates several sites at the Mayan ruins in Tulum, Chichen Itza and Coba. Make sure you visit one of the sites while in the area and discover the mystery of this ancient civilization.

As in Cancún, water sports are abundant in Riviera Maya. You can jet ski, snorkel, scuba dive, and even swim with dolphins. If you”re more partial to land activities, try a zip-line or horse-guided jungle tour.

Travel in and around Riviera Maya is easy. Most visitors fly to the Cancun International Airport and take a bus or taxi just 30miles/50km to Riviera Maya. A new international airport is currently being built closer to the area.

Playa del Carmen is a beautiful nearby beach that offers even more activities, including shopping for Cuban cigars, tequila, silver and jewelry. The Paseo del Carmen is a popular shopping district that offers local crafts and leather items made by Xaman-Ha artisans.

Just down Highway 307 from Riviera Maya is Xcaret, an ecological theme park constructed around a lagoon. A bit further down the road is a sparkling lagoon, Xel-Ha, where you can swim with dolphins.

Look for hints of local culture throughout your stay – if you hear a language that is unfamiliar and isn”t Spanish, it”s probably Mayan. Many of the locals still speak it. The Mayans considered jaguars a sacred animal, and although they are an endangered species, they still roam the nearby jungle in the Sian Kaan Biosphere. Adventure awaits!
