Hotel Cozumel and Resort is a mid-range hotel with 181 rooms spread out over three floors, across the street from the resort's private beach that's accessible via a tunnel. The highlight here is the massive outdoor swimming pool with a Maya-style pyramid, which is the largest pool in Cozumel. All-inclusive packages are available at three restaurants, including a casual snack bar by the pool and buffet spot with air-conditioning, but the food quality varies. Guest rooms have flat-screen TVs and some distant ocean views. Overall, the entire property could use a refresh and an update. For faster beach access and a swim-up pool bar check rates at Coral Princess Hotel & Dive Resort, on the southern edge of the main drag.

The 261-room Allegro Cozumel is an affordable, mid-range, all-inclusive hotel at the southern end of Cozumel. With a prime location on Palancar Reef, it is a beloved spot for divers. There are a long, sandy beach, water park, and kids' play area in addition to tennis courts, basketball courts, and a full fitness center. Four restaurants and five bars provide food and drink variety and there are four pools on-site. Fun extras include a full-service spa, deep-sea fishing, and of course, diving excursions. The rooms are simple and clean, but a tad dated -- some have tube TVs and most have very firm beds. There is a pesky fee for Wi-Fi.

The 306-room Iberostar Cozumel is an all-inclusive, mid-range family-friendly resort that is a haven for scuba divers on the southwestern coast of Cozumel, with the world’s second largest coral reef just off the resort’s beach. The beach is rocky, but a pier extends past the surf, and guests can use ladders to reach the water for world-class swimming and snorkeling. The Iberostar Cozumel is unique for a big all-inclusive in that the rooms are in rustic, bungalow-style buildings with private decks or balconies, each with its own hammock. The hotel also has three restaurants, a kids' club, three pools (including a kids' pool), a spa, and nightly entertainment.

El Cozumeleño is a mid-range all-inclusive resort located directly on a long, narrow beach in northern Cozumel. Its 252 rooms are no-frills and some have dated technology, but all units are spacious (especially those in the original building) and have furnished balconies with ocean views. The pools are the highlight here (one has a popular swim-up bar), but golf is also draw due to the resort's location across the street from the island's only golf course (guests get discounted rates). Breakfast and lunch are pretty average, but dinner is tasty and the menu changes every few days. Overall, the hotel is a solid pick for families and value travelers.

Flamingo Hotel is a sweet and simple three-pearl boutique with low rates and one of the best locations in Cozumel. It's built just one block from the main drag of Avenue General Rafael E. Melgar and three additional blocks from the ferry to Playa del Carmen, putting the Hard Rock Cafe, souvenir shops, and bars within a five-minute walk, but most of the noise and chaos is still far from the guest rooms. Each of the 18 rooms is individually decorated and includes free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and air-conditioning. Aqua Bar, located just off the lobby, serves free coffee in the morning and cocktails for happy hour. A simple continental breakfast is included in the room rates. If a swimming pool is a must have, check rates at Casita de Maya, but lose the fast access to the ferry and waterfront.
