Meliá Cozumel is an all-inclusive resort, but our 2-night/3-day stay was a major letdown for a renowned chain. Surprise: there are two tiers—basic (what I booked) and “Level” (the upgrade we weren’t offered or able to choose). Big red flag on transparency.
Basic all-inclusive perks fell flat:
• Plastic-bottle booze only (e.g., Bacardi rum—a supermarket staple at $10/1.5L—was reserved for Level guests).
• Sunbeds were scarce; we asked staff and were told to wait for vacancies—never got one.
• Breakfast/lunch buffets: identical for all, very basic with limited options geared toward foreigners (zero local flavors to excite).
• Dinner was the worst: pushed to a mediocre buffet with nothing standout. A la carte spots required advance booking, which were “fully booked” on arrival—no spots for our entire stay despite the price. They squeezed us into their tacos spot once—average at best, outshone by nearby eateries.
We ended up bringing our own drinks (plastic bottles didn’t cut it) and eating out for 2 meals. For this cost, it’s a huge disappointment—felt nickel-and-dimed in an “all-inclusive.”
Attentive service and always willing to help, call a taxi, take the bags .. Big room and bathroom, good shower with good water temperature .. also good bed but in the room we chose it was a double (it could be a queen at least).. They provide towels for the hotel's pool and beach, and you can also take them on walks, just register at reception. The beach at the hotel is beautiful, nice for snorkeling in the crystal clear water, lots of fish.. bar near the pool makes hamburgers, tacos and other things if you feel hungry in the afternoon.. sunset from the pool and beach is beautiful!! You don't need to make a reservation at the restaurants, but they do have a waiting list on the day. Seafood Restaurant was open for lunch only. The food in the restaurants was ok.. they don't provide transfer to the ferry.. taxi from the ferry costs about 100 pesos in 2022.
I love green and nature and my husband loves the beach. This resort is the perfect balance so we both could have what we wanted. The paths from the room to the beach were beautiful with greenery all around. The beach itself was amazing. The food at the buffet was alright and when we did the reserved dinners at the restaurants the food was amazing. When we went to the seafood restaurant the chef prepared the ”Four Fish” dish and it was the best Mahi Mahi I have ever had. We will definitely be going back to this resort.
Not only is the facilities well maintained, but the staff are very friendly and friendly.
Also, all inclusive meals and food and drinks are also varied and tasty, well maintained and you can have a leisurely break on the private beach of the resort which is not crowded.
I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days, but I would like to highly recommend it to my acquaintances as well as I want to find it again if I have a chance.
