Best hotel I stayed in during my whole trip to the Yucatan area. The hotel is guarded by security in the front and once in the courtyard, noticed a whole bunch of turtles on the property. The hitel is clean and refreshing and the staff was very friendly. The maintenance people were constantly working on the property, whether raking the sand or trimming plants. The hotel has a beautiful beach area as well as a pier you can walk right on, giving you access to Cozumels rocky and fish filled bottom for snorkeling. Had a great time and wish I stayed longer.

This place is older but it’s absolutely beautiful. The private beach is stunning . The snorkeling was outstanding and right in front on this hotel. The food was delicious, the lobster restaurant right across from it has live music and amazing food. The key lime factory is right across the street as well; it was so yummy. I would highly recommend Playa Azul.

Great location, close enough to town but far enough away for peace a quiet. Beautiful spot on the ocean and to go in and swim. The included breakfast everyday was great. Outdoor bar right by the ocean was a nice touch. Hotel is older but maintained very well. Will definitely be staying there when I go back to Cozumel.

The hotel has a private beach which makes it very convenient if you want to relax all day at the beach. The AC in our rooms worked really well. The rooms and property are very clean. The buffet breakfast was included, and it has good options, including omelets a la carte, and the fruit was fresh and tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant one day, food was just OK. The only downside is the location, the hotel is at the NW of the island, and since there is no public transportation nor Uber in Cozumel, we had to use taxi (which is very expensive) to visit downtown or other beaches. A taxi from the hotel to downtown was $300 pesos (nearly $16 dollars) for 6 people.

Tropical elegance beachfront resort! We loved staying at Playa Azul Cozumel. From the excellent, friendly staff and the amazing large room with a jacuzzi to the beautiful beach and delicious food from both restaurants on the resort, we had the best romantic vacation! We will definitely come back! The resort was very quite, mostly couples and families. They had two open air restaurants. One was smaller and served the best hot breakfast (omelets prepared for you, and a hot buffet with mexican and american breakfast offerings), the breakfast buffet was included for us. They also served lunch and dinner too. The large open air restaurant had bands where you could dance and they had the best lime soup (myan recipe). The pool was just the right size and there was a children's pool too with a small playground. Our room was on the first floor, so we had easy access to the pool and beach. I loved the natural tropical surroundings of the resort. The beach was on the small side, but the resort had plenty of sand, palm umbrellas, and beach lounge chairs. The beach was the perfect place to watch an amazing sunset.
Relaxing quiet beach
Loved all the palm trees and flowering bushes on the resort.
Definitely get the lime soup (traditional Myan recipe)
We had a great hot free breakfast that was included for us. Everything was delicious!
