Why visit
Cozumel works for diving, snorkeling, beach clubs, ferry logistics, and a slower island base off the Riviera Maya. It is useful when Cancun or Playa del Carmen feel too mainland for the trip.
When to avoid
Do not assume Cozumel can be handled as a simple cluster of adjacent stops. For Cozumel, avoid widening the route after the day is underway. In Cozumel, a local replacement usually keeps the route clearer than a cross-town detour. In Cozumel, that margin matters when hotels, stations, and cultural sites sit in different parts of town.
