This place is older but it’s absolutely beautiful. The private beach is stunning . The snorkeling was outstanding and right in front on this hotel. The food was delicious, the lobster restaurant right across from it has live music and amazing food. The key lime factory is right across the street as well; it was so yummy. I would highly recommend Playa Azul.

Playa Azul has a small beach with a beach bar and pool. It’s located between the Westin and Islands beach club. If you are like us and want the same quality of food and beaches as the Westin, but don’t want to pay for it,Playa is the place for you. Clean, quiet, friendly service, our room had a great view. We liked our beach better for the snorkeling we did every day (beach is rocky). Recommend and would stay again

Better restaurant across street.Breakfast included a plus. Attentive breakfast staff.Daily room cleaning good. No laundry service.

The hotel has a private beach which makes it very convenient if you want to relax all day at the beach. The AC in our rooms worked really well. The rooms and property are very clean. The buffet breakfast was included, and it has good options, including omelets a la carte, and the fruit was fresh and tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant one day, food was just OK. The only downside is the location, the hotel is at the NW of the island, and since there is no public transportation nor Uber in Cozumel, we had to use taxi (which is very expensive) to visit downtown or other beaches. A taxi from the hotel to downtown was $300 pesos (nearly $16 dollars) for 6 people.
