We went diving for the first time in Cozumel over our fall break October 8-15th. Flew from Las Vegas to Austin to Cozumel. Flight was great no hangups going. We each carried on our luggage and our scuba equipment. Our 10 year old complained vigorously about this. It worked out great I think. We are all new Divers, just logging over a dozen dives each before we went. only catch it when we got there. The airline had not provided the paperwork we needed to get through immigration. I will definitely fill that out before next time and print it and bring it with me.
Our condo at El Cantil was perfect and on the ground floor. This was especially perfect for our son who loves running out and jumping in the pool or jumping off the dock.. We did a lot of snorkeling on the side. The condo was really nice and I would definitely stay there again. We plan on going again at Christmas time but won’t be staying there because the prices are so much higher. My only complaint is feeling like I needed to cook because we had a condo. Let’s be honest part of the reason to vacation is to not have to cook and clean.
Aldora was awesome and picked us up at the dock at El Cantil all but one day. We did 3 two tank dives. It was so amazing and I feel like we all improved our skills, especially our buoyancy. Paloma was our private dive master. She was great and we requested her each day. The whole experience with Aldoro was top notch!!
We ate out most evenings and had some yummy meals we especially really enjoyed Guidos! Our son loved the “garlic bread” we also had a really yummy surf and turf at Rolandi’s the lobster was amazing!
We also managed to find the ecology department in the city and arrange for a turtle rescue. Had we not all been getting sick that night? It would’ve been the highlight of our trip almost. Unfortunately, my son and I ended up with strep throat and really sick that night. Thank goodness you can just pick up antibiotics at the pharmacy there. One terrible day and we are back on our feet. We dug in the sand for three hours, and then also got to release turtles. Rented a really terrible jeep that we were afraid would make it to and from the destination. But it was an adventure and fun.
Thank you for all your help planning this trip. We can’t wait to go back in December. Any suggestions for an affordable hotel or condo still on the beach? Or close to it? We’re thinking hotel Cozumel? But I can’t have a really bad room. Are the rooms decent there? what about Aldoro Villa? Any AI is worth the money? We rolled out Cozumel palace because we can’t dive with Aldoro from there. They charge an outrageous dock fee. what about Aldoro Villa? Any AI worth the money?

We don’t mind driving into town in the evening for a nice meal, even if we’re further away from town.
