Blue Angel Resort & Dive Shop Cozumel

After several visits to the island, and stays at AI's, we had seen this little place and even stopped in for lunch/drinks and a hotel tour on one occasion. I knew that we had to come back on our next visit. The view can't be beat! And different from other hotels "in town" your view here isn't obscured by a cruise ship, its all sunset and beautiful water! Everything has this view, the rooms, the lobby, the cafe, and the pool. Its close enough to town but far enough out not to be in the middle of things. The cafe is GREAT! We did dinner at a variety of places but breakfast/lunch/snacks/drinks here and all was good. Service was also GREAT! Be sure to try the mango margarita :) Although located on the main road, its surprisingly very quiet at night. Rooms are minimal, but very comfortable. Best beds I've found in Mexico! Mini-fridges in rooms came in handy. The only drawback would be the walk-up to the upper floors. Toting suitcases and dive gear up four flights was rough, but well worth the effort. The waterfront is perfect for shore diving and there are LOTS of fish & corals right there. Its next to the sting ray enclosure so thats fun from below too! Dive shop on site with very nice staff and instructor. The pool, although small, is right on the waterfront and a gathering place for some of the local ex-pats. Every bit as charming as the rest of the place! Owner and all staff members couldn't be any nicer or more accommodating. Once you visit here, you'll feel like family and consider it home away from home.
