Without a question, the Cozumel Palace is the nicest AI hotel on the island. About its only flaw is that it does not have a sandy beach, only a small artificial sandy area. Otherwise, everything is top notch - the rooms are luxurious, dining is outstanding, large beautiful pool, bars serve name brand drinks, and the staff works very hard to make your visit as nice as possible. The resort is also conveniently located in town, providing easy access to other things that the island has to offer. As ggunn already said, it's not exactly inexpensive, but worth it, IMHO. I stayed there in June this year and am going back in February for another week to dive with Blue XT Sea. Can't wait!
Other AI's on the island I've stayed at include the Occidental Grand, Iberostar, and the Allegro, and they're all pretty decent to varying degrees as well (the Grand is quite nice, actually), but they are 20 minutes by taxi out of town, which some folks may or may not prefer. On the other hand, these resorts are located a lot closer to the southern dive sites, allowing for shorter boat rides.
