Loved the included excursions and the overall beauty and vibe of both the Explorean and Fiesta Americana. Unfortunately,the two best restaurants with views are closed right now- and no one told us. It was a big disappointment because many of the restaurant options are without AC and the ambiance was severely lacking.

Explorean Cozumel has been our hotel for the last several years. Several kilometers south of town, it is much closer to dive sites than many other hotels. Good choice of restaurants. Welcoming and helpful staff. And they have done a lot of important maintenance work since the last time we came in 2023, when the place was hurting badly from weathering Covid.

We had an amazing stay at The Explorean Cozumel! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The resort is beautifully set in the jungle, offering a peaceful, natural vibe while still giving access to all the amenities at the adjacent Fiesta Americana. Our room was quiet, clean, and comfortable, with thoughtful touches throughout. We loved the daily excursions and activities included with our stay—such a unique and fun way to explore the island! The food was fresh and delicious, especially the local Mexican dishes, and the service was always friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a relaxing, all-inclusive stay with a touch of adventure, we highly recommend The Explorean. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of our next visit!
