The cabana rooms are definitely a well kept secret. Great value. Really good deals to be had - just shop the major travel sites then contact the hotel directly to match or beat the price. They are sort of like a studio condo but on 2 levels. We love it for a 7-10 day stay. Longer stays I go for El Cantil.We stayed at CDM once, but for the same price we prefer Hotel Cozumel. Better pool, closer to town, nicer rooms...when comparing basic room to basic room. I hear the cabanas at CDM are quite nice though. At CDM, I was not a fan of the restroom window (permanently open) being open to the hallway outside the rooms. The newly wed couple across the hallway enjoyed their shower so much I had to close my restroom door to get any sleep.
