Del Mar Latino Beach Club Cozumel All Inclusive Day Pass — Restaurant in San Miguel de Cozumel

We wanted a place to spend the day in Cozumel, and this was a winner! Only about 4 blocks from our cruise port (Carnival corp, the southern-most one), and even closer to the other major port. All-inclusive (except, bring a towel!) and limited in how many they accept per day. There were about 3 dozen there the day we went. I use a mobility scooter, and they had a ramp to get down to the seating/pool area. Pool & chairs are part in sun, part in shade, so you can choose. I can't really walk in beach sand, but I love to snorkel, so the stairs down into the water were perfect for me, and the rocky shallows meant there were a lot of fish to see. (Wear non-slip surf shoes, the stairs get slippery.) The staff were so attentive! They were always on hand to get food and drinks. All the food was great, and came in snack-size servings, so you can try a lot of things but not waste much. The drinks flowed freely! In between staying hydrated with soft drinks, I loved their mojitos. And you could order off-menu combos, e.g. Kahlua & ice cream. YUM! All but 5 of the crowd that day were over 40, and we noticed that the their DJ catered to us, playing country & classic rock. And the pool was wonderful! Ledges all around, to sit and chat (or just chill & drink) and enjoy the sea just a few feet away. Probably cheaper for our day there, than if we had spent the day shopping. We...

Let's be honest.. We all chose this place because it's $45 and close to the Port. Most places are rip-off Gringo spots for like $80, so I'm not saying it's the worst, but you get what you pay for.

PROS Walking distance from the Port, but in the hot, hot heat, a .2 miles walk still feels like forever (about 10 minutes AFTER you can get out of the tourist trap area - 20 min total) Great Service - our waitress came around every 10 minutes and was very attentive (we did have to ask for extra shots in every drink... but they were accommodating) Nice, clean bathrooms

CONS No Sand Beach. It is basically at the marina, so it is NOT the pristine, beautiful, calm waters that you expect form Cozumel. When the boats pass by, the waves reek havoc and the smell from the engines is pretty strong. Ew. Because there is no sand or beach, it is quite a treacherous entry into the ocean. They have 4 very steep steps into the ocean with only a loose, wiggley rope for support, so it can be violent and slippery when getting in - my friend fell and really hurt his knee and foot. Not ideal for a relaxing swim. They didn't have the "good" food on the menu that they advertise (No Coconut Shrimp) They did, however, have day old guacamole and teeny, tiny cheese quesadillas.

Will not be returning.. but they...

Mrs. T.R. in a group of 3 , spent a relaxing day off our cruise ship Carnival Valor. Since the two other ladies had some limiting walking abilities, they chose to arrive by taxi, which was new to us, since we have always just walked from our cruise terminal...check in with our printed reservation confirmation was easy and quick. We chose places to sit under umbrellas in padded loungers and were soon enjoying our first round of delicious frozen drinks. Our server "J" was attentive and friendly, she is absolutely a joy to spend your day with! The Gulf waters were beautifully clear (and thankfully calm for snorkeling with our own gear). Fresh water showers make rinsing the sea salt away easy or if you are too warm, a great way for a quick cool down. The infinity pool is also a good place to just hang out and relax with friends, with a cool drink, or just taking in those beautiful views. When it's time for snacks or lunch, you can sample or fill up, the menus are wonderful! Do not miss the seafood ceviche or the coconut shrimp, I highly recommend both! The bathrooms and handwash areas are convenient and clean. Del Mar Latino Beach Club does have some rules, so be sure and read all of the details; Reservation/Deposit, Minimum Age, Limited Number of Entry, etc. ...
