3 stars
4.2 / 5 6 reviews
The Blue Angel Resort is a unique, fun destination for you next Cozumel vacation. The Blue Angel Resort itself consists of Hotel, Restaurant and of course, the famous Blue Angel Dive Shop that provides the best Cozumel diving around. The hotel is one of the few hotels on the island that is situated directly on the water and not across the street or further. Do you want an ocean view from your private balcony? Good, because all the rooms are ocean view rooms and all of the rooms have private balconies! Blue Angel Resort is all about de-stressing from your usual busy routine. Do you long for a holiday where you could just slow down and breathe and you didn't have to feel guilty about it? Come see the hotel, they want you to visit them! Take advantage of their many dive packages and enjoy the convenience of a fast dive boat that is just a stone's throw away from your room. Do you like to dine alfresco right over the water and not have to take out a second mortgage to do that? Do you think you would enjoy a massage by the water that leaves you weak in the knees because you are so incredibly relaxed? Then come see them for all this things. The hotel wants you to visit them. Would you like to enjoy the warmth of the sun on your face without a noisy crowd invading the last bit of your personal space? If yes, then Blue Angel Resort wants you!

The hotel is like a family. This means that if you are on the hotel dive boat trips as part of one or their dive packages; the same hilarious guys that you dove with this morning might be having a drink in the lobby later on. The friendly people that you spoke to in the restaurant last night may be lounging by the pool today...if you visit them, take a chance and say hello...maybe even start a conversation. You might gain some new friends. high quality people and many of the guests return over and over again to connect again with their Blue Angel family. The people that visit Blue Angel mostly seem to be the type of people that can sit back and just let things happen around them, enjoying every minute of it. Cozumel diving is fantastic and diversified. There are so many different reefs and you don't have to be at a professional, technical diver to enjoy many of them. But if you have been part of the diving community for a while, they challenge you. There is an abundance of marine life in the water park and surrounding areas and protect the love of the "other world". To see the excitement and joy on people's faces when they come back from their dive trips is inspirational. The hotel also provides Dry cleaning, Library, Lobby and Reception services.

Best time to take a vacation to Cozumel

  • Cozumel travel conditions stay fairly consistent year round, but like many Caribbean hotspots, the winter high season brings the mildest weather, biggest crowds and highest prices. Savvy travelers go in the summer during low season (translation: reduced hotel rates) -- and divers and snorkelers take advantage of calm waters. Hurricane season spans from June through November.

    Celebrate Mexican holidays like Cinco de Mayo (May 5) and Dia de los Muertos (November 1st and 2nd) on your Cozumel vacation. Another can't-miss is Carnival (think Mexican Mardi Gras) which kicks off right before Lent in late February or early March.

  • Cozumel has warm weather year round, with average temperatures ranging from 68 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's the perfect weather for a beach destination. Fall is the best time to visit Cozumel if you're looking to save money. If you go during this off season, you'll also be rewarded with fewer crowds. If you go in November, you'll be able to celebrate two major Mexican holidays along with the locals: Day of the Dead on November 1 and the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution on November 20. Both holidays in Cozumel are celebrated with feasts and ceremonies.

Insider tips for Cozumel travel

  • Best Beaches

    For good sunbathing, hit the natural sandy beaches on the north and south ends of the island, while the rocky beaches near town offer the best nearshore snorkeling.

  • Off-Strip Shopping

    Explore beyond the waterfront jewelry and souvenir shops—San Miguel proper has better deals, especially in the evenings when the cruise-ship crowds have receded.

  • Downtown Dining

    Find food aplenty in San Miguel, from cosmopolitan fine dining fare to late-night walk-ups selling traditional Yucatecan snacks for a song.

  • Drift Diving

    World-famous among scuba divers for its offshore currents, Cozumel offers ripping underwater rides at top-tier dive sites like Tormentos Reef.

  • A Link to the Past

    Find the Temple of the Hands—which bears red-painted palm prints on its walls—among the jungle-cloaked ruins at San Gervasio.

  • Cozumel at Night

    Cozumel really comes alive at night. Take a nap during the day like locals do, so you can live it up after dark.

    Kinta

    Stop by Kinta, a favorite restaurant of locals, for delicious, fresh seafood with tons of local flare.

    Avenida 30

    Pick up lunch to go on Avenida 30, one of the main roads on the island. Treat yourself to a picnic on the beach.

    Souvenir Shopping

    Avoid the waterfront when shopping for souvenirs. You'll get better prices if you shop along the backstreets.

    Cocina con Alma

    Learn to cook Mexican food like a pro with this unique cooking class in the old neighborhood of El Centro.

Cozumel hotels: 3 must-stays for snorkeling trips

There are few beach activities that are both exciting and relaxing, but if you query the opinions of travelers experienced in beach vacations, you’ll likely reach the consensus that snorkeling is one of them. Great snorkeling needs more than just clear waters – the water should also be calm enough to keep you from drifting and warm enough to be enjoyable. The island of Cozumel in the Caribbean provides both, and the following Cozumel hotels are three of the best to try out for the ultimate snorkeling experience.
