Cheap Hotels in Cozumel

The Mexican island of Cozumel is one of the country’s most popular beach resort destinations, but even without the beaches and beautiful waters surrounding it there are still things to keep most people entertained. Although, truth be told, the vast majority of visitors to this Caribbean island come for the sand, sun, and incredible diving. While recent hurricanes have damaged the snorkeling sites that are closer to the shore, the diving spots further out remain mostly untouched. And there are still cheap hotels in Cozumel waiting for you.

Although this is a big beach destination in Mexico, with its fair share of resort hotels right on the water that are not going to be considered budget options, there are also some cheap hotels in Cozumel, too. This is particularly true if you are willing to forgo a beachfront location and choose a hotel in the town of San Miguel (the only city on the island). There are more 2-star and budget options in the town center, where you are just a short walk from the beach but paying a fraction of the price.

You can also sometimes find great deals on those beachfront resorts if you are visiting in the off-season – although they are still not going to be called cheap hotels on Cozumel, they will be bargains compared to their normal rates. You just might need to put up with some less-than-ideal weather (and hopefully no hurricanes). And if you are planning a longer visit than just a few days, you can also look into renting an apartment or condo, as that can be another budget option.

Some of the cheap hotels on Cozumel you might want to consider are Vista del Mar (overlooking the Bay of San Miguel, 20 rooms, A/C, private bathrooms, continental breakfast included, outdoor pool), Villablanca Garden Beach Hotel (2 miles from town, beachfront hotel, 50 rooms, A/C, satellite TV, on-site restaurant, outdoor pool, kids pool, private pier, WiFi access, jacuzzi), Hotel Flamingo (short walk from water front, tranquil decor, private bathrooms, A/C, cable TV, mosquito netting, on-site restaurant in the garden, breakfast available), Casa del Mar (2.5 miles from town, facing the sea, 98 rooms, on-site restaurant & bar, outdoor pool, private bathrooms, A/C, cable TV, jacuzzi, tennis court, WiFi in lobby), and Hotel Fontan (5km from town, beachfront hotel, lots of water sports arranged through hotel, in-house dive operation, on-site restaurant, outdoor pool, on-site dive shop, A/C, cable TV, balconies with ocean views).
