There is a small beach seperated by a pier. It could've been super tranquil but an intoxicated older lady was loud later in the evening. Book something higher or seperate building than receptio/barin t evening.

The Hotel Plaza Azul is a good property, but there are much better places to stay in Cozumel. Frankly, the food and drinks are very expensive, the Internet was spotty and I had a lot of trouble working, tv was extremely limited, and the beach is small. We bought the most expensive room that had a hot tub on the balcony, and it was old and looked like it had not been used in some time (tub was dirty). The staff members were very nice, and it was clean, however. And the hotel is right on the ocean.

We stay at Playa Azul a few times a year. The location is great for us as it is a bit North of all the hustle and bustle. If you don' have your own transportation, you'll be using a taxi regularly. Located right on the water so it is a very peaceful location. Breakfast is included but it could really use some revamp as they serve the same thing daily and they've taken away the fresh waffle maker so we don't tend to eat there often. Lunch/dinner is bar food level but convenient if you don't want to leave the hotel.

This was hands down the best hotel we’ve stayed at in the area. The staff (at all levels) were so attentive, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and the ocean steps away from your room was a plus. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing stay!!

Upon arrival, I won’t lie, I wanted to hate it here. The property is definitely older and not near as beautiful as my AI arrangement last year. The rooms are dated but I figured out quickly, functional and fine. I liked being on the ground floor with my balcony on the pool deck. Quickly loved Roberto at the front desk and once out by the beach bar and beach area…perfection! The breakfast that was included with our stay was awesome with friendly waitstaff.Lupito was really a gem one morning. Ivan and staff at the bar make the best guava margaritas! The food out by the bar was also great. The beach and bar area far exceeded my previous AI experience. Taking a taxi was easy and Roberto even arranged a jeep rental for one of our days. Both lobster houses and the key lime factory are directly across the street and worth a visit (or two) to both! I ended loving this place!

Beautiful pool area and right on the beach and a great snorkeling spot. We rented a scooter for the week and it was perfect for transportation into town (which is just a couple miles away) for excursions, shopping, food, etc. The restaurants right across the street are excellent. The rooms were clean and they give you bottled water everyday. They also provided beach towels. My husband and I stayed one week here and we won’t hesitate to be back.

Great location, close enough to town but far enough away for peace a quiet. Beautiful spot on the ocean and to go in and swim. The included breakfast everyday was great. Outdoor bar right by the ocean was a nice touch. Hotel is older but maintained very well. Will definitely be staying there when I go back to Cozumel.

Hotel was clean and quiet. It was priced well. The pool seemed heated which was nice. There was good snorkleing right off the beach of this hotel so no need to take a snorkeling tour unless you just want to see something different. The staff was friendly and helpful. The tiki bar had drink specials every day from 5 to 7pm.(2 for1) each day.It was a different drink special daily. The breakfast was decent with several options, however lunch and dinner were over priced and did not meet expectations for the money. We did find local resturants that would deliver to the hotel which opened up our dining options. These options were very reasonable as the wife and I ate for around 25 dollars per meal. We ate at local taquerias. Fyi the food at this resort is not local culture it is more island/american cruisine. It would be nice if it was more local inspired. I have a couple of recommendations to improve the resort. Hotel needs a business center for quest to use. I needed to print some documents, and could not do it without emailing it to the hotel staff. This was not an option due to confidentiality. The hotel should also install a hot tub for guest as there isnt a public hot tub available. The furniture could also use updating as it is old and outdated. The mattress however it was newer and really comfortable. The last thing you should know is that this property is toward the end of the hotel strip. To get to the commercial section of Cozumel you will need to take a cab. $10 ea way
