My girl and I went to Cozumel last week and had a blast. Dove the whole week with Scuba Mau. Diving was mind blowing. It was her first ocean dives period and my first time in the Caribbean. Dive op was excellent. We did half morning dives and half afternoon dives and also a night dive. Saw any and everything I was hoping to see and then some. The very first day on our way back to our resort dock, we stopped to watch a large pod of dolphins playing and jumping.
They came up to the boat so we jumped in and watched them. it was really neat. Had to be 12 or so, 2 being small juveniles. Only saw 3 lionfish the entire week with 12 dives. All three were small under 4 inches. The DM killed all of them. Dove the C53 which was cool. I really liked Palancar Gardens and the swim throughs. I took a GOPRO Hero HD and got tons and tons of videos and pics.
Stayed at Hotel Cozumel Resort. They had a nice pool area which I could care less. The rooms were pretty crappy and looked nothing like the photos. The ocean view was a parking lot, street, building, powerlines, then the ocean. LOL It was clean. Never ate the food. Tried a few drinks that were watered down. Not bad for the price but will stay somewhere else next time.
Had a list of places to eat. La Perlita gets my vote for best place we went to. One of the better meals I've ever had in my life. Had grilled lionfish which was outstanding. She had the kabob that is coch, lobster, and shrimp. It was excellent as well. We also really liked La Choza. REally cool place with excellent food and service. Coincidentally enough, we also had the worst meal of my entire life at Carlos N Charlies. I know I know. I did not want to go trust me. She wanted a "big drink" which was horrible. Very little alcohol in the tall tube margarita. Their food tasted like burnt ass to be honest. Not sure how you can mess up a burger and nachos but they did. Then it cost 60 bucks! Lesson learned on the touristy places for her. LOL
But we hit Wet Wendys on the last day there and wow! That place is incredible. The drinks were the best Margaritas I've ever had and huge. The service was outstanding and the food was great. We had the blackened chicken burrito and guacamole which was excellent. Their house tequilla was really good and they put plenty of it in the drinks. All in all it was a fun trip and the weather was great. Also went deep sea fishing, caught some yellow tail snapper, and ate them 30 min. later at La Honch I think it was.
All in all it was a really fun trip. To top it all off we got engaged the first night so I'm hoping Cozumel will now be a regular yearly trip. We are addicted for sure. Hoping to return on our honeymoon in the spring!
