Cozumel = ❤
Dive with Martin ( review coming soon)
I really loved Cozumel. I stayed at the 2 tank dive hostel, which is by the Benito Juarez Park. There’s always so much to do. Vendors are everywhere and you can haggle for a good deal. Street performers entertain tourist and restaurants have live bands playing.
There is one Mayan site on the island and it’s not all that. If you don’t have a lot of time, I would skip this one. There are no large temples to look at. I think we finished it in 30 minutes.
Tips
- Always ask the taxi drivers how much in pesos, not US dollars. It’s usually cheaper.
- Food is Western prices for the most part. So it’s not cheap.
- Do eat at Mr. Taco. Not only is it good, it’s local and cheap. One of the few.
- Go diving! This is what Cozumel is known for.
- Haggle the vendors down.
- Woody’s is descent food and they have a live band.
- Eat at Denis… yum
- Don’t eat at La Cucaracha. Those trucks that serve food out of the back of them. Not a food truck but an actual pickup truck😂
I was surprised to see food open to the air in the supermarket. Also, the eggs were not refrigerated. I remember this as a kid but it’s been awhile 👍 I suppose I’ve become used to everything wrapped in plastic.
Take the time to learn some Spanish but most everyone knows English.
