Stayed on this property a couple years ago. Too big for my personal tastes. Nice property, good service.... good was decent but since it is the southernmost resort it is a longer drive into town for a really great meal.
Do not use the dive op at the resort. They use cattle boats and hire foreign DMs who just got their cards. They do not know the reef system like the locals or even tourists familiar with the marine park. I tried them one day and ended up taking control of the dice because the young English DM was lost and didn't know where to find marine life.

I am a Divemaster that used to work on a boat in my spare time. And while I agree with you on the "cattle boat" thing, everyone in Cozumel is a cattle boat. You should stay where you can dive with their dive shop. This way they can take care of your gear, you can wash it, hang it up in the shop and they can get to know you.
Rarely does a dive operation take "new to them" divers to the best or most advanced places. They need to see how you dive so they don't get you killed. As for you "taking control of the dice," I'd have sat your arse and you would have been done. And anyone I've ever crewed for would have backed me up on this. I remember when I was a new DM. I was new but I was still the DM. Their job is to keep you safe and save your life.
