Trip Report Iberostar/Dressel Divers, September 2025

Sure. Anecdotal examples from staying someplace 10 miles away are absolutely relevant . Having actually stayed at this resort and having items left outside our room stolen I am far better equipped to speak to this than most. But you do you.

And note that I have not blamed the staff. I have no idea who took our stuff. It could easily have been a neighbour.

Cozumel is known for ‘crimes of opportunity’. I wouldn’t leave out anything that could have easy value for a quick sale. I doubt anyone will take my ratty rash guards and stinky socks - but that’s about all I’d leave unattended. I love Cozumel, but you still have to be cautious about your belongings.

I am not advising anyone to do anything in particular; I am just saying that in my experience theft has not been a problem for me in going to Cozumel for over 40 years. If you stay in a theft prone area (I don't), of course more vigilance is prudent. My experience is no more or less universal than yours.
