Just my opinion, but the only reason I would recommend Hotel Cozumel over Blue Angel is if you want a huge pool, constant loud public address noise around the pool and a bunch of children running around... on the plus side, the man made beach area is actually kind of nice, especially since Wilma and the little bar can be fun at night. If you would enjoy a more laid back vibe, no kids, a really nice, fun during the day and romantic at night, restaurant, boutique hotel and dive operation, you really could check out Blue Angel. I have stayed at Hotel Cozumel several times as well as Casa Mexicana and a couple of villas and private homes in town and of course, Blue Angel. Their prices are very competitive, they have small fast boats and one larger one for a more leisurely dive experience, if you so desire. Don't get me wrong, the six packs are leisurely also but maybe not quite as comfortable for the novice diver. The main reson many folks don't mention Blue Angel is because we don't want to spoil our slice of paradise in paradise!
Having put in my .02 here, anywhere these folks recommend is a winner as we are all seasoned visitors, some more than others, most more than me
, so enjoy your stay and be ready to become addicted!
