Review Mr. Sanchos Beach Club in Cozumel, covering food, drinks, beach, pools, transport, costs, and who should book this day pass.

“Got there by taxi. Really easy to navigate the property. The adult pool area was well maintained and the bartenders and servers were very friendly. Chris was our bartender and he was fast, very skilled, and patient with the guest. Drinks were plentiful although they aren’t aloud to pour shots, it has to be a mixed drink. The food was fast and came out fresh. The beach was clean and there were plenty of places for people to sit and enjoy the resort. The day we were there, there were 5 cruise ships in port. The place didn’t feel crowded at all. Would absolutely book again.”

Review Chula’s Cozumel beach pass with food, drinks, pool, inflatables, transport, honest notes on rocks, crowds, and value.

“Waitstaff was very attentive, food was great, drinks were mid but plus side on this is you can turn right back around and ask for another. Rocky beach so if you have sensitive feet wear water shoes. I didn't and was fine, however my teen did get a small cut on her toe. Inflatables were fun im short so i had to swim to them and back, heard a guy say he could touch the bottom barely with his tippy toes and he looked pretty tall so probably gets to around 6ish feet or deeper give or take (to the furthest inflatables). My kids snorkeled closer to the paradise side…”

“If I could leave zero stars I would. Our excursion was awful. We arrived at the place and it was nothing like the pictures and description, completely different location (no water slides, no childrens play area, etc). We were informed that the ownership "changed last week." They offered to put us back in a cab & when we inquired if it would be on their dime we were told, "absolutely not." It cost my family $60+ tip EACH way to get to the location and back to our cruise ship. My children were sorely disappointed. Others there also felt the same; some even had gone to the other location and…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 608 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $77

Review of Cozumel’s 4-hour luxury catamaran tour, with turtle snorkeling, El Cielo starfish, ceviche, drinks, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“We had a great time on this catamaran & snorkeling activity! We were a family group of 8, all adults, and the entire tour group was around 20 people. It was a beautiful ride out to the reefs. Our guides were lots of fun and the one in the water with us was really good to point out various types of interesting sea life, like a turtle, ray, and some sharks. Our time at Palancar seemed short and crowded, but the next 2 stops we were able to spread out a little more and spend more time. The ceviche and drinks at El Cielito were delicious and generous!”
