    Question Are You Tired of the Taxi Ripoff?

    I'm with you, don't understand all these "ripped off" issues. They must be at a different Cozumel than I go to. I've been going there for 15 yrs+ and now spend a couple months a year on the island without any issue with taxis, police or rental cars. Have had a couple positive experiences with...

    Blue Angel dive op?

    Understand your dilemma, been there with group trips to Coz. BA is the most logical choice and ‘should’ be a no brainer. As long as expectations are communicated it probably is the right choice. It frustrates me that such a potentially awesome resort is so mediocre.

    I don’t things have changed much since your last visit.

    Blue Angel dive op?

    My take on BA is not as positive as ggunn’s. I’ve been a Coz visitor for 15 yrs or so and have stayed at several places and tried several dive ops. Had high hopes for BA bc of their location, nice on-site restaurant and dive resort ‘vibe’ but after staying there (once only) I was very...

    Question Are You Tired of the Taxi Ripoff?

    We could go back to the "Best" dive operator but @jonhall took our club away and ruined all the fun.

    Question Favorite resorts in Cozumel.

    No I really can't give you a side-by-side comparison. We spend 2-3 months a year in Coz so are familiar with the resorts but the high-end resorts are not my thing. Years ago, the 'wow' factor meant something to me but now we usually go the AirBnB route. If I was bringing family/friends that...

    Question Favorite resorts in Cozumel.

    Cozumel resorts are much different than Curacau resorts like Sandals. Cozumel is much more laid back and are not filled with activities like Sandals. The Riviera Maya has tons of those types of resorts but not Coz. The El Presidente is probably the most ‘Sandals’ like resort but I do believe...

    Recent water temperature?

    The end of January my Oceanic consistently read 81. This week it has been bouncing between 79/80.

    eSIMs for Cozumel- recommendations

    Agreed, it is a must have app for travelers. Has lots of nice features, especially WhatsApp business accounts. It is my primary communication tool in Cozumel (& every other country except N. America) A huge plus is getting restaurant & business info w/o ever having to use F@c!book.

    New Norte Today 28JAN- Thursday 01FEB

    The beaches are a mess with all the sargassum that got blown in. The ‘wild’ side has been smooth as glass the last 2 days.

    Lots of Police, Federales and Military

    On the contrary, I am glad to see them out and about. Most of the big cities in the USA should do the same thing.

    Lots of Police, Federales and Military

    IDK - You might be correct on what they are called. Three distinct types of enforcement; Police, ‘Federal’ and military

    Lots of Police, Federales and Military

    Seems to be a ton more Police, Feds and Military around Coz. The last couple days they had road blocks/stops south of La Caleta. One day they were stopping every car, including rentals, the next just Taxis and one day seemed kind of random. Several times I've seen 2-3 Police cars along with...

    New Norte Today 28JAN- Thursday 01FEB

    This is a tough one to be sitting on the shore - beautiful blue skies and "perfect" weather IF you are 1 block away from the water. The north wind is chilly and water is very choppy.
