How to Get to Cozumel, Mexico
If you've never been to Cozumel, you should know it's an island off the coast of Playa del Carmen. You can fly directly into Cozumel, Mexico which has been known to have some pretty great deals on airfare.
The next closest airport is Cancun, Mexico. From Cancun, you'll need to take a shuttle to Playa del Carmen. From there you can take a ferry to Cozumel. The entire process takes around three hours, but it's a beautiful coastal drive and a beautiful way to see more of Mexico.
Now let’s get into the details reviewing Cozumel's best all-inclusive resorts including:
- Fiesta Americana Cozumel All Inclusive Resort
- Explorean Cozumel Boutique Hotel

Cozumel All Inclusive Resort Rooms
Have you ever wondered what the hotel you are booking is really like before you go? Find out exactly what you can expect when you check-in at these Cozumel resorts because we’ve been there and explored all the details just for you.
Fiesta Americana Cozumel Room Tour
This room tour is actually more like three room tours in one. We'll show you two standard rooms; one with a king bed and the other with two double beds. Then, see how each of them can transform into a one or two bedroom suite with a living room.
The rooms are beautiful. The decor is fresh and clean, and everything in the rooms are super comfortable. We especially love the rainfall shower heads in the bathrooms. Not to mention, every room that is on the second floor or above has an ocean view! And the ground floor rooms are right by the pool.
We were also incredibly impressed with how versatile the room configurations at the Fiesta Americana Cozumel are. There are nearly endless combinations with the amount of connecting rooms they have. A few of the rooms connect with the living and dining room areas to create suites. Some of the suites even sleep up to 10 people, which would be perfect for a large family, or even a multi-generational vacation.

Explorean Cozumel Rooms and Suites
The rooms at The Explorean Cozumel feel like you've stepped into a spa retreat. Everything from the colors to the natural elements radiate relaxation. With how much the rooms have to offer, there is one item that is noticeably missing... a TV. You won't find a single TV in any of the 56 guest rooms at this hotel. Instead, it's the perfect place to disconnect from the real world and reconnect with who matters most.
Cozumel All Inclusive Restaurants and Dining
We’re all about the foodie finds during any all inclusive vacation, it can truly make or break the experience. Our Best All Inclusive Resorts in Cozumel do not skimp on dining and food options.
Fiesta Americana Cozumel Food and Dining
Remember that your stay at the Fiesta Americana Cozumel is all-inclusive. That means all meals and drinks are included with your stay too. Most of your on-site activities, including snorkeling and yoga classes are included as well.
A total of five restaurants and three bars are included. That's a total of eight choices available. Don't be fooled into thinking that just because it's all-inclusive means the food isn't quality. In fact, the food here is delicious! And, unlike some other all-inclusive resorts, there's only one buffet available. The other options are a variety of table service, counter service and bars.
The food is so fresh, and the Fiesta Americana strives for having the very best quality available. There is a wide range of cuisines available from farm-to-table to authentic Mexican. We recommend doing a combination of quick service and some more upscale dining throughout your stay to get the full experience.
If you're looking to celebrate a special occasion, consider dining at Rosato, their authentic Italian restaurant.
Explorean Cozumel Food and Dining
Because of its intimate size, there is just one bar and one restaurant. What the dining options may seem to lack in quantity, they more than make up for in quality. Everything at both the bar and private restaurant is custom created according to each guests' personal tastes.
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're hungry during the in-between times, the chef will whip up a snack with fresh items purchased from the local market that day—just for you.
Because The Explorean Cozumel is owned by Fiesta Americana, you are also able to dine at any of the restaurants at the Fiesta Americana. That expands your dining choices beyond The Explorean to include five additional restaurants and three additional bars.
If you happen to get tired of farm to table menus created just for you, you can head over for a quick burger from The Grill, gourmet pasta from Rosata or high-end Asian cuisine from The Peninsula.
Cozumel All Inclusive Resort Activities
Which activities are included? You don’t have to look far to find tons of fun or relaxing activities to enjoy during your vacation.
Fiesta Americana Cozumel Activities
Almost all of the on-site activities are included with your stay. The snorkeling is awesome and just steps away. There are yoga and fitness classes, and the pool is incredible. There's also a kids' club that has supervised activities for kids ages 4-12. If you have younger kids or want in-room care, it's available for a charge. You can also add on golf, scuba diving and other nearby activities for a fee.
Explorean Cozumel Activities
One of the most attractive draws of The Explorean Cozumel is that it includes so much more than your traditional all-inclusive resort. In addition to having access to everything that the more expansive Fiesta Americana has to offer, all of your excursions are included as well. That's almost unheard of!
Trips to downtown, bicycle rides along the coast, island and snorkeling tours to some of the world's most desirable destinations are all included. But that's not all. Archaeology expeditions, paddle board and kayaking adventures, sailing and excursions will have you exploring some of the island's most popular areas like Punta Sur, Dzul-HA and San Gervasio.
With so much to see and do - or not do - the possibilities at The Explorean Cozumel are endless. You can find as much adventure or relaxation as you wish. Because it is so close to the Fiesta Americana, but it is still tucked away, you get the best of both worlds.
While this hotel may not be for everyone, we absolutely love it. We would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for that extra level of service and attention. It would be a perfect romantic resort to celebrate a honeymoon or anniversary. It would also be really great for families who are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with each other. There are no distractions, just natural beauty and plenty to explore.

Best Cozumel All Inclusive Resort Beaches
Whether you’re a lounge by the pool person, or swim in the salty ocean waves—these spots have a combination of both!
Fiesta Americana Beaches
The beach at the Fiesta Americana Cozumel is great, but there are a few things you should know. First, it's a private beach, so that is a huge plus. There are plenty of beach loungers available, which is always nice.
You can find over-the-water beds, hammocks, lawn chairs and more. If you're looking to lounge, both the beach and the pool offer incredible service and scenery. You should be aware that the hotel's private beach, complete with a beach club, isn't a sandy beach that you may be used to. There's sand of course, but there is also a pretty big drop off.
However, the huge plus about this beach is that it is 100% snorkel ready. Just grab your gear and head down the ladder directly into the warm Caribbean waters. You should be aware that local activity companies charge anywhere from $30-$50 for snorkeling around this area. But, when you stay at the Fiesta Americana Cozumel, it's all included. Score!

Explorean Cozumel Beaches
The Explorean Cozumel uses the same private beach as the Fiesta Americana resort. This means you have access to the Beach Club, a number of over-the-water lounges, world-class snorkeling and more.
While the beach itself isn't the typical sandy beach you may imagine, it's amazing. There is a small sandy area near a drop off where you can climb down a ladder directly into the temperate Caribbean water. It's important to know that the island of Cozumel is home to some pretty incredible beaches. You're only a short ride away from a multitude of sandy beaches if that's what you prefer.
