Coral Princess is a hotel and dive resort in the north hotel zone, built for people who come to Cozumel for the reef. It is listed as a 4.0 class property in the budget price tier, with a guest score of about 8.2 out of 10 from nearly nine hundred reviews, and reviews mention the pool and bar and the focus on snorkeling and diving. A dive resort tends to be organized around early boat departures, gear storage and a social, practical atmosphere, which suits divers who want to be on the water early and then rinse off and relax. It is not an all-inclusive, so you will pay for meals and drinks separately, and the beach in this part of the island is better for wading than for long swims. Non-divers are welcome too, but the resort will feel most natural to those with a mask and fins in their luggage.
Who it suits
Certified divers, snorkelers and friends traveling together who put the reef first and the room second. The price is attractive for the north zone, and the dive focus means staff understand early starts and equipment needs.
How to choose
Check the rate page for whether dive packages, boat departures or gear storage are offered, and whether a package suits your plans. Compare room types if you are traveling as a group, and ask about early breakfast arrangements for dawn departures. Read recent reviews for comments on room condition and noise, and request a quiet room if you sleep lightly.
Good to know
The north hotel zone is a short taxi from downtown and from the airport. Diving and flying do not mix, so leave the recommended interval before your flight, and ask your operator for current guidance. Hurricane season runs from June to November, and winter is the busiest season, so book early. If you are not a diver, consider a snorkel trip or a beach club day to round out the stay.
