Location was great, close to the strip, off the main roads but close. Near restaurants, Central Park, and convince stores. Everyone was extremely helplful and polite. We used their recommended Snorkel tour which was great as well. Nayeli helped us find a moto taxi to the airport, much cheaper than a taxi and fun experience. The young man was always very helpful with suggestions and directions; the breakfast offered there was delicious and filling, great for the price. Rooms were clean, the place is beautiful and home feeling it was wonderful.
At the front desk, a very courteous gentleman welcomed us. He was very polite and very friendly. Thank you for your hospitality, Sir! This place is a no frills spot, but very clean and have a shared kitchen if you want to bring your groceries and cook in the kitchen. If you want to eat outside, this hotel is in a prime location for restaurants and bars. 5 stars for me for the value for money service and ambiance.
We stayed for 5 nights and booked the studio and a normal room. The studio has a well equipped kitchen and fridge so if you wanted to save money that's a good option. The central location was very convenient for us. Short walk from the ferry terminal. The rooms were very clean with quiet AC and friendly staff. Breakfast was not great but there are so many options only 5 minutes walk away. Our favourite was probably Corazon Contento.
Great space, great staff and great location. The shared kitchen was an excellent feature to be able to make our coffee and some simple meals. The resident turtles were a very fun addition to the courtyard. Surprisingly quiet for the area, walking distance to everything.
Very nice mexican hotel in an unbeatable location in the centre of town. Nice room with comfortable beds, ac and a safe. The staff is friendly and accomodating, I got help and recommendations for a tour to Punta Sur for example. As a solo female traveller I felt safe in this hotel which is always appreciated of course. I can really recommend it and if I return to Cozumel this is my first choice.
I just returned from a 28 day stay at the Hotel Mary Carmen and couldn't be happier about it. The hotel is very nice, clean and the location is great. There is a community kitchen available to all to use if desired. The staff is awesome and they do an excellent job. I plan to spend more time there next year and I highly recommend this place. If you are in Cozumel to dive, as many people are, this hotel is a one block from a great dive shop. This is not a resort, but I highly recommend it for someone wanting a nice room with a great price.
Spent Xmas here yesterday. Had a twin room that was more than comfortable. Was a quirky place with lots of memorabilia dotted around. The breakfast was nice and nice price. The location was seconds away from the centre square. The turtles were cool to watch.
Great hotel at a great price. It's very centrally located right on the square. The room was always clean, the beds were reasonably comfortable, and the AC worked great! The service here is also top notch. I asked for a late checkout, because we were diving in the morning before taking the ferry over to Playa. They let me check out at 3pm for no extra fee, so I could take a shower and get into dry clothes. Highly recommend everything about this hotel! We will definitely be back.
On a pedestrian street next to the lively Benito Juarez Park, this simple colorful hotel is a 7-minute walk from history exhibits at Museo de Cozumel, and 3 km from Cozumel International Airport.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Quintana Roo. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
