Go somewhere else. Anywhere else. Just got back from there and it blows. You could do all the same shite without the smell and rundown buildings in FL. Well maybe not without the smell , but def FL or another destination state would be much better .

Probably the worst vacation I have spent money on. Way too touristy,trashy, and full of Mexicans trying to scheme a buck. Hated it.

Awesome snorkeling. Go across to the other side of the island for some tranquillity. Eat at Ernesto's fajitas factory. Explore downtown San Miguel a little bit.
I love Cozumel. It's my paradise.

There is a lighthouse you can drive to that's kinda cool. Celarain is the name. You can go up to the top if you want.


Also Chakanaab is a park you can spend time in. You can easily rent snorkel gear there and they have some great snorkeling there.

Go to the only REAL cigar store on the island--in the flea market near the big tourist mall thing.

Don't waste your money on any of the excursions. Go in with a few people and hire a taxi to show you around the island in a van. The real island.

Get real high. Weed is dirt cheap.

Went there on timeshare a few years ago and stayed at a hotel that had literally no entertainment. I would have had more fun in December at an indoor waterpark resort.

Go to Coconuts and see some boobies. It's a cool outdoor restaurant on a hilltop. They have albums of women who have showed their "coconuts" for a free drink. If you're lucky, you'll see some live ones, I did.

Rent a Jeep, head south and stop at every bar around the island, definitely hit Reggae's (Rasta's?) at the southeast tip of the island. About halfway up the east side you'll see a small peninsula jutting out into the gulf, stop and go swimming and the bartender from across the street will bring you drinks, continue up and over bar hopping. That's one day.

Snorkeling is good in Chankanab lagoon, better if you hire someone and head towards Puerto Morelos national park. Diving is great if you're certified.

A day trip to Playa has decent shopping but it's been Americanized (it used to be a quaint little Mexican town, now it's Cancun South). Coco Bongo at night has a good show but it's loud and runs till late so you'd overnight in Playa. The bars in Cozumel are usually real quiet until a cruise ship comes in.

Enjoy yourselves

Cozumel is the most irritating place I've ever been. You'll see when you get there.

Rent a Jeep and stay away from the touristy spots, drive to the Rasta bar and drink some peanut butter tequila and check out the park next door.

Contact Pablo and set up some dives with him. My wife isn't a certified diver, but he still took us on some great shallow dives. If you tip him well, he can hook you up on the island. He took us to the lobster guy, we picked out 5 lobsters tails for $50, then we went to a Cantina and gave the cook $10 and he fixed them for us while we drank and ate some awesome ceviche.

Coconuts has an awesome view, and the food was good, but the highlight for me is the diving. If I didn't dive, then I wouldn't be that impressed with the island.
