Got to be loud. I've never stayed there, but it's right on the main drag.Tim Ingersoll:
For quiet + downtown check out the Hacienda San Miguel. Good rates, big rooms, cozy and quiet ambiance.
Tim Ingersoll:
Tim not sure about the noise level at the Bahia.
Casa Mexicana is right downtown on the main drag ---it is above a large carpet store. This makes the hotel rooms above the street level even on the lower floors--we could not hear any street noise at all...great location to just walk to restaurants and other activities.
We loved the wonderful breakfast buffet with a great variety of food (a large variety of fresh fruit, yogurt, sweat rolls, croissants, pancakes, French toast, egg and omelets made to order, cereals, hash brown potatoes and more; of course beans and tortillas...This also included fresh orange and grapefruit juice, coffee, tea and milk. With a good breakfast and our snacks on the dive boat and some snacks in our room we only ate one meal out at the restaurants at night, which was a great savings.
We enjoyed our ocean view room, with a private patio, a mini frig and an in-room safe for no extra. The room had a wonderful bathroom with a full size bathtub. A very comfortable King sized bed. The AC was great as we are desert rats and the very high humidity bothers us.
The elevator and escalator was a welcomed site as we returned from diving or an evening out.
We dove with two couples who were staying at Caribe Blu Hotel which is being remodeled and they liked the ocean view and their rooms, no bathtub only a shower but they said they had a lot of road noise all the time, as the hotel is right on the main drag.
So each to their own as to what type of hotel, resort, or rental they stay at while in Cozumel. We enjoyed Casa Mexicana and are looking forward to a return trip.

Yum, gotta love them sweat rolls... ;^)
Glad you had a good trip; ours (5/12-24) was wonderful, too. Back just 3 days and I'm already jonesing for a Leon Negra.
azsilver:
Whenever I return from a trip to Cozumel, someone invariably stops me in the hall to "welcome me back to the real world". My response is always the same: "Nah, THIS ain't the real world, THAT is."
We started blocking out our dates for next year sitting around a table in La Choza.
