Teardrop-shaped Cozumel has seen some hard times - Spanish invasion, death by smallpox and a flailing economy - but these days it is a calm, charming island with a prime diving reputation. Known as Ah-Cuzamil-Peten (Island of Swallows) by its earliest inhabitants, it is Mexico's largest and most populated island.
In its new incarnation as one of the world's most sought-after diving destinations, Cozumel has gone through something of a growth spurt. The islanders now number over 75,000.

Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa
The Presidente is one of the island's oldest luxury hotels. It has a lovely beach and 253 posh guestrooms, many with sea views, set amid tropical gardens and swimming pools. Wild iguanas roam the grounds. Unlike the all-inclusives further south, the Presidente is sufficiently close to town to allow you several dining options; truth be told, the city has grown south around the hotel. Several kilometers out of town.
Hotel Villas Las Anclas is a quiet, intimate hotel made up of spacious suites arranged along a shady, serene tropical garden. Each two-floor suite has private living and dining rooms and a kitchenette on the first floor, and a queen size bedroom with a bathroom on the second. The Hotel is located in the heart of Cozumel, fewer than two blocks from the main plaza and one block from the oceanfront and Cozumel's dive pier. Restaurants, shopping, and entertainment are practically next door.
The 175-guestroom Cozumel Palace Resort is a showcase of refined taste and friendly service in an unbeatable location. Only ten minutes from Cozumel's airport, the resort offers three restaurants with varied cuisines, a swim-up bar, a double Jacuzzi in each room, and 24-hour room service.
Suggested Itineraries: Cozumel
Isla Cozumel's only town is San Miguel de Cozumel, where you'll find many restaurants, bars, hotels, tour agencies, banks and other amenities. It is well-equipped to deal with the global influx - you can chow down on food ranging from vegetarian to Mediterranean to local mesquite-grilled chicken.
A 9-mile (14km) jaunt from San Miguel on Cozumel's west coast, Playa San Francisco is one nice sandy spread. It's a great spot to picnic, which is fortunate as the restaurants are generally pricey. A more isolated option is Playa Palancar, a few miles south.
