Sand Dollar has another location just south of downtown. I feel sorry for all the SDS employees because I know they will not have the business to keep them employed with just one location.
Reef Regency still allows members to bring kids but there are signs on the beach (and I think on the walkway) stating over 18 years and over only beyond this point. I can't imagine that being enforced unless someone complains though.
As for the adults only part. It has only been in effect for a year or so and I have seen a few sets of boobs hanging out on the beach/pool areas. Thankfully I have not seen anything else "hanging out" (sorry ladies) anywhere.
Don, It looks like all but one of your questions has been answered so I will get that one. The only problems have been with monies going through the houston office and only with members of the reef club. There have been no other reports we have heard of but then again if I hadn't ran across the members website I wouldn't have known a damn thing until I was checking in at the front desk! I feel real bad for those who aren't addicted to the internet as much as I am.

Oh, the clothing optional idea was floated around for a very short time. It never got beyond a rumor. I think it was just a whimsy that was shot down almost immediately. Coz being the way it is I can't imagine a clothing optional resort. Cancun, yeah, I can see that. Maybe even Playa del Carmen but not Cozumel.
Bonus info for those interested.

Wyndham Cozumel Resort and Spa Announcement
January 12th 2011
We are aware of the CDC warning related to reported cases of Legionella
that
occurred in Wyndham Cozumel Resort and Spa with the latest reported case
in
December 2010.
Since April of 2010 when we were first advised we have taken many
corrective
measures all of which have been reported, monitored and approved by
State
and Federal government health authorities in Mexico.
In all testing results done monthly we have passed within the norms
required
for water quality. A specific test for Legionella was completed at the
end
of June 2010 and the result was negative.
Another test is currently underway as required by health authorities who
will monitor and review the results to be completed by the end of
January
2011.
Any clients who are booked with us who wish to cancel their reservations
as
a result of this information may do so without penalty.
If you have another further questions you may contact Cesar Marengo at
987
872 9300 ext 8001
We have had 1 case in 9 months and we have done additional work there
should
be no problem at all.
Thanks
Gavin

This was posted yesterday,
Here is an e-mail I obtained from someone going down there and attachments are test results. all GOOD.
We have done all the measures requested by the CDC and the Federal authorities in Mexico, however, we were informed that this
Process is going to take some additional time.
We have worked in our water system and several tests were done, as a result, all of them were negative and there is no longer a potential risk
Of the Legionnaires disease at the hotel as per the Lab results.
However, the problem is that the CDC is requesting some additional information not reported previously to us and our management is working with the
authorities to have this done, but it seems to be a different and bureaucratic process
I am deeply sorry for not having these CDC information lifted as promised, but (believe me) is really annoying to deal with the Government authorities
Overall, I don’t think we can have the CDC cleared shortly despite we are confident that we have the cleanest water system in Cozumel
As a prove of what we have been doing, attached is a recap (in English) of the last measures done at the hotel regarding the water system
Let me know if you have any question or comment,
