“Playa Azul Cozumel appeals with its smaller scale and private beachfront on Playa San Juan. The on-site Savia Spa distinguishes itself with Mayan-inspired treatments, and the hotel's dedication to diving-plus pet-friendly policies-add to its singular character. While dining receives mixed reviews, the intimate setting and ocean views create a distinctive experience.”
