Stretched across a long extension of pristine Cozumel
beachfront, the Melia Cozumel combines modern elegance with
Mayan splendor. This active All-Inclusive resort overlooks the
sparkling waters of the Caribbean from the beautiful shores of
Santa Pilar Beach, a long extension of powder white sand strewn
with rustling palms and comfortable hammocks.

Property Amenities
The Melia is
a deluxe All-Inclusive beachfront resort featuring a distinct
Mayan inspiration. Each of the 150 air-conditioned rooms
features a private balcony or patio, with a choice between
Garden View Rooms and Ocean View Junior Suites.
The 200-room
resort's lemon-colored, 12-story tower is visible for miles.
That color, accented by orange, blue, and rose, recurs
throughout the resort, creating a bright, Mexi-Caribe look. The
resort offers a wide range of facilities, services, and
activities. A children's center entertains with video games,
arts and crafts, and other activities. Complimentary scuba and
snorkeling lessons, dance and Spanish classes, water aerobics
and beach volleyball are offered daily. Each night, the resort's
activities/entertainment staff presents a show in the theater.
After the show the theater becomes a disco nightclub. Within the
lobby are two fee-for-use computers for accessing the Internet.
A health-and-beauty spa offers saunas, steam rooms, body and
facial treatments, and hair and nail care. Massage is available
outdoors or indoors. Like most Cozumel hotels, the Melia Cozumel
recommends guests not drink tap water; bottled water is
provided.
Property
features include nightly entertainment, unlimited premium brand
drinks, and a variety of sports and activities. Children under
12 years stay free when sharing a room with two full paying (Max
two children, one child per each paying adult).
The Melia Cozumel is situated on a long extension of beautiful
sandy beach with palm trees and hammocks. Watersports and beach
activities such as volleyball are available.
Life on Cozumel is laid back, and this resort exemplifies the
attitude. Families and couples find plenty to do, or time and
space to do nothing at all but rejuvenate around the pool and on
the beach. It's a low-key, relaxed place with no pretentiousness
and a generous supply of warm Mexican hospitality.
Amenity highlights: The resort contains two good-sized
swimming pools surrounded by expansive sundecks. Situated on a
terrace above the beach, the main pool is adults-only and
includes a swim-up bar. An activities pool for adults and
children lies in the resort's middle. On this pool's deck are
ping-pong tables and a ceramics palapa where guests
purchase and paint figurines and bowls. Behind a hedge lies a
shuffleboard court. The beach is down a short stairway from the
main-pool terrace. Shallow but long, it offers palm trees and
thatched-roof palapas for shade and lounge chairs for
sunning and napping.
Insider tip: World-renowned for snorkeling and scuba
diving, Cozumel is surrounded by parts of the world's
second-largest coral reef, which extends from Cancun to Belize.
