First trip to Cozumel - What are your top recommendations?

If your bank does not pick up the ATM fees Banamex charges about $30.5 MXN for fees and when I stopped by Scotiabank they wanted $60 MXN. Even though Schwab picks up my fees, I use Banamex, as a courtesy to the nice folks at Schwab. Be sure to let you bank know you will be traveling in Mexico so they do not lockout your card.
If your phone is not set up for international calling, 3P has a US magic jack phone in thier office, if you need to call the USA.

Mescalitos for sure. Go there early on your no dive day. Sunbathe,take a deck of cards and play rummy 500 with the cook until cusomers show up. Head down to the NUDE BEACH there.

I would suggest Jacinta's. They are located north of the central plaza on 5av. between 4th and 6th street.
Enjoy!

Play the ring on the hook game. Sometimes when you make it they make you drink a tequila slammer from an onyx penis.

christi's list is good, I just stumbled across Mstevens (on this board) has a pretty good introduction to the island here:
Casa Suzana

Some of my favorite cheaper places $10 or less) to eat are:
Tacos Cuatro
Lobster Shack
King Burrito
Burritos Gordito
Lobster bacon sandwhich at La Chef(a little more $$)

Coffee and desserts are at Coffe De Cozumel

Michoacán ice cream at the SE corner of the square. Vanilla ice cream bar and pina colada Jorchata. There are other Michoacans, but this one is my favorite.

Don't miss the grilled lobster or the coconut crusted lionfish at La Perlita, and the scallops at Guidos are great too. Guidos is a nicer restaurant, la Perlita is more come as you are.

Good luck,
Jay

Your one and only goal should be to have fun. You'll find that easy to do there.
