Playa Azul Hotel
Hotel Information: Playa Azul caters to families and couples with its warm Mexican hospitality. Shopping, dining, and nightlife are in plentiful supply just six km (four mi) south in the town center.
Amenity highlights: Deep and flat, the beach is furnished with lounge chairs for sunning and thatched-roof palapas for shade. The beach is interspersed with short rocky points, but two sections provide rock-free access to the turquoise Caribbean. The resort's medium-sized pool includes a shallow children's section. A spacious deck furnished with padded lounge chairs surrounds the pool. An on-site spa and dive shop were built in 2006.
Insider tip: Among the world's finest snorkel and scuba sites are those in the clear waters of Cozumel, accessed by boat from the hotel's dock.
