Hi Deb, I can tell that you won't be staying at El Cozumeleno. But just for grins, after you've been at your hotel for a few days, take a trip over to El Cozumeleno and compare what you see there against the hotel you stay in. You eyes will then be opened as to who is giving you the straight scoop. Yes the pool is a bit cold, and the exercise equipment needs repair as well as a few other things, but similar things are true at most all the Cozumel hotels. On the other hand, there are a whole bunch of things that are very right at El Cozumeleno, especially in off season!!Paradise that is fashioned by human hands is always gonna have a few cracks. It's best to just accept that fact and enjoy the other wonderful things that you encounter. Anyway, YOU be the judge. Having said that, I will add that Plaza Las Glorias is quite nice (remembering, of course, that none of the hotels in Cozumel are anywhere close to perfect). But it is not all inclusive, which is no problem if you've got a bunch of money to spend on drinks and food in town. Frankly, I've always wanted to go on the Europeon plan (non all- inclusive), but my friends and wife demand that we go all-inclusive, if for no other reason than the convenience of not having to carry a bunch of cash and the freedom of just going up to any bar or restaurant and simply asking for a drink or food and getting it. It takes the worry out of spending too much money. Plaza Las Glorias is also very close to town too - a big advantage, and all the rooms face the ocean. How would I rank the hotels in Cozumel, all things considered? 1. El Cozumeleno 2. El Presidente 3. Plaza Las Glorias 4. Paradisus (if the restoration is complete) (I've excluded the hotels that are far south 'cause they're just too far from town.) If I did include those and my sole focus was how nice the hotel was, it would be: 1. El Presidente 2. El Cozumeleno 3. Allegro 4. Iberostar 5. Reef Club 6. Plaza Las Glorias 7. Paradisus-with completed restoration.(By the way, the Paradisus has the best shows of any hotel on the island. They are really worth seeing, and they have a different show 6 nights a week. Very creative and excellent dancing by the performers! Do not underestimate the value of these shows. They are not Broadway, but you will laugh and maybe even cry.) Fiesta Americana and Sol Caribe are 2 of the other big hotels, but I know little about them. Hope this helps. Have a great trip! Lloyd
