We are two families, with kids ages 13 to 17 (kids may become interested in diving but aren't yet) planning our first trip to Coz sometime in July-August. I've scoured this board for ideas and come up with a few that seem to make sense, but I'm hoping that you Coz veterans can help me sift out the best option for us. We can afford a mid-priced hotel.
What we want:
Not far from town
Family-orientation-other families and kids
Kids activities including things like introductory scuba camps
Nice pool and at least some beach or easy water access, minimal current
On the water, boat dock right at hotel (so we don't have to schlep gear too far)
room with kitchen
Not too noisy (those of us diving want to sleep)
decent restaurants or proximity to decent restaurants
My list so far:
Aldora (has summer kids scuba camp) [looks good to me]
New Fontan (kids summer camp associated with Aldora?)
Hotel Cozumel [looks good to me]
(Allegro is on the list but it is far from town and expensive, but the kids would probably love it, looks like boat dock is a long walk)
For the adults, two of us are certified but inexperienced, and the other two are going to do their OW cert dives while we are there.
Any advice on my list or suggestions I haven't thought of would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much, we're looking forward to having a great time.
