Explorean Cozumel has been our hotel for the last several years. Several kilometers south of town, it is much closer to dive sites than many other hotels. Good choice of restaurants. Welcoming and helpful staff. And they have done a lot of important maintenance work since the last time we came in 2023, when the place was hurting badly from weathering Covid.

We’ve stayed at the Explorean twice now and it’s really the only place we want to stay. The only downside is that they try to get you into an hour and a half presentation for a membership. That is the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars overall. The staff here are simply the best, very, very friendly and accommodating. The staff actually make this the best.

Private, clean, and beautiful. The perfect Mexico getaway. The size of the resort makes it a more intimate experience allowing you to make bonds with both the staff and the other travelers. Iguanas can be seen meandering through the grounds. The location is a quick walk to the ocean. And scattered throughout the resort is a variety of restaurants. The staff is more than happy to accommodate your needs and are incredibly kind.

We loved our peaceful and relaxing stay at the Explorean. The property is quiet and serene—perfect for unwinding. If you're ever in the mood for more activity, the lively atmosphere at Fiesta Americana is just next door. Be aware that they will try to pitch a timeshare presentation. You may have to firmly decline multiple times before they take no for an answer. A special shoutout to Jared, our favorite server and bartender. He went above and beyond to take care of us and genuinely cared about making our stay enjoyable. The food and drinks were decent, and the location is great—you’re not far from popular beach clubs. Plus, the property has its own pier, making it super convenient if you're planning any boat excursions.

Food: 9/10 Restaurants were very good. Not a bad choice amongst any of them. Buffet breakfast was diverse enough and the food was great. We honestly did not have one bad meal here. They had Asian, Mexican, Italian, a grill, ceviche bar and a few others and everything we had was amazing. Drinks: 3/10 Very very very hard to get drunk. Mixed drinks taste generally all the same. Liquor must be watered down. Beer and wine seem untouched. Wife doesn’t really drink, has somewhere north of 8 drinks and didn’t have a buzz. You can start drinking at 11am which is pretty late imo, and all alcohol served is cutoff at 1045. Could be for safety but idk, maybe to make it a more family friendly environment. Our 6 days spent there, not a single drunk person was seen. Nightlife: 5/10 Activities are the ONLY nightlife on the resort. They were fun, but nobody did them (or tailored to children in which case nobody showed up still) and they only lasted an hour. Afterwards, the place turns into a ghost town. Service: 10/10 Everyone was extremely nice, helpful, spoke your language or at least tried to fluently converse. All inconveniences for the guest were essentially taken care of by the staff. The only thing to say here is that the service COULD be a bit faster but that’s a viewfrom an American take it as you will. Room/Cleanliness: 9/10 The entire island is VERY conservative and caring for their environment, especially the reefs. The resort itself was super clean considering that it’s basical

Our stay was amazing! Tucked away in the rainforest, it was quiet and so peaceful. Our room was super clean and tidy. Everyday the came and made the bed, new towels and tidied up. Each morning they dropped off banana bread, orange juice and coffee. There was one pool, and one restaurant w an associated bar. Everything else was in the neighboring hotel. There were quite a few restaurant options, but honestly not a ton of vegetarian options. Other than that however, our stay was phenomenal and I would absolutely stay again!
