Hotel B Cozumel sits on the Playa San Juan highway at about kilometre 2.5 in the northern hotel zone, around ten minutes by car from the airport. Expedia lists it as a four-class property with strong guest scores, and it offers an outdoor pool with loungers and umbrellas, a hot tub, a poolside bar, a spa with massages and manicures, a gift shop and a 24-hour front desk. There are two on-site restaurants, one with Asian cuisine, and a free breakfast of local dishes is included. Rooms are in five types, from jungle-view rooms of about 312 square feet to ocean-view rooms and a junior suite of about 474 square feet, all with air conditioning, free WiFi, a safe and a flat-screen television. Free self parking and free bicycle rentals are useful extras.
Location and getting around: the north zone is flatter and quieter than the downtown strip, with a mix of hotels, small beaches and dining. You are not within walking distance of the main plaza, but taxis and bikes make it easy, and the cruise piers and ferry terminal are a short ride. Divers and snorkelers can arrange trips from nearby operators, and the hotel can usually suggest options. A rental car or scooter helps if you want to explore the island.
The rooms and style: rooms come in jungle-view and sea-view categories. Two double beds sleep four in the jungle-view and ocean-view rooms, while the king-bed deluxe and junior suite suit couples. The property is not adults-only, and a family pool is mentioned by guests, though Expedia lists a separate adults-only sister property nearby, so check that you are booking the right one. Dogs up to a limited size are allowed with a nightly fee, which is rare on the island.
Good to know: breakfast is included, parking is free, and the spa is handy after a dive day. One recent guest mentioned noisy air-conditioning units, so ask for a quiet room away from equipment when you book. The hotel is a good mid-range choice for couples and families who want a resort feel without the top-end price. Combine it with a Palancar snorkel trip and a day at Chankanaab, and use the bikes for short rides.
