I've stayed at the Playa Azul since 1995. It's been my \"go to\" for that long and will stay my \"go to\" until death do us part!
The staff is wonderful. Breakfast is good, too. Other than rude Americans, it would be the perfect place to spend time for any reason.
The \"hogging\" of palapas on the beach gets annoying; had to get there by 6 am to get a spot. But, such is a price of paradise.
The property is \"old\" so you're not going to get \"exactly\" what you want.
By far, imho it's the best \"little quiet beach\" on the island and I've been to most all of them.
The spa is fantastic; great \"specials\" and the staff is divine.
Most safe and trustworthy place to spend your precious vacation dollars. And do tip your staff...they work so very hard to do all the things; cooking, cleaning and caring! As a guest, make the effort, go the extra mile for them, like they do for Everyone

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Rooms were spacious, the staff was hard working and friendly. The breakfast was very good with plenty of options. It was an easy $10 taxi ride to town. The Lobster House Restaurant and Key Lime Pie Factory across the street are both very good. The only thing that needs some improvement is the food served at the restaurant onsite.

Rooms are overall nice, just a little scuffed in places but not bad. Food in the restaurant is excellent. Get the tuna tostadas!

Having the snorkeling area right there is great. Would recommend bringing your own gear, though - the dive shop nearby has old equipment that's in bad shape and overcharges you for it. Not the hotel's fault, but wanted to mention so others are aware.

The beach is a small space however once you swim past the small pier there’s plenty of beach to snorkel in. The beach is calm and completely crystal clear for you to snorkel or take a nice swim. The hotel is older but well maintained and very clean. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast included is the best. The restaurant a bit pricey.

Playa Azul is the best! Always clean; the rooms, the lobby, the dining area...even the sand is raked! The staff is friendly, kind, courteous, and always willing to help! Breakfast changes every day, and you have lots of delicious choices. The hotel feels like a home away from home, it's just comfortable. After a day of being out and about adventuring, I feel so relaxed and happy to be back \"home.\"

An average hotel that is more like a motel. One set of old towels and they are not getting replaced with daily services unless you tell them (literarily) or take them to switch with new ones. Great friendly staff all around, great breakfast (we loved the young lady who was making omelet, Kindy, Gerry, Darvin, and Francisco), good food and service, nice access to the beach, which is public. Nice, quiet, safe neighborhood. On property scuba and diving equipment and training. On property SPA with nice people. Lots of walkways on the street side. There is no exercise room. The turtles can be treated better. Overall, the hotel has a distinct local culture we treasured.

Clean, cute and for the most part a friendly staff. We received a walk-out unit as an Expedia VIP member which was convenient and scenic. Now the downsides, really poor internet throughout hotel, TV pretty much non functioning due to constantly disrupted internet signals. The Air Conditioning was really noisy and we couldn’t control the temperature as the thermostat was broken and stuck on high. We went to the lobby to explain the aircon issue and they sent the maintenance guy who said yes it was a problem unit and the only way to turn it off was by turning off the circuit breaker when then left us with no cooling. The shower pressure was really low and the patio had cheap white plastic chairs and table. The Pool was much colder than the Ocean water. The Staff, however, always seemed friendly at the inside bar, front desk and the restaurant, but not friendly at the outside bar. Overall an average stay but this hotel has some work to do to. Oh, and in the future please respond to messages sent through Expedia…

Best hotel I stayed in during my whole trip to the Yucatan area. The hotel is guarded by security in the front and once in the courtyard, noticed a whole bunch of turtles on the property. The hitel is clean and refreshing and the staff was very friendly. The maintenance people were constantly working on the property, whether raking the sand or trimming plants. The hotel has a beautiful beach area as well as a pier you can walk right on, giving you access to Cozumels rocky and fish filled bottom for snorkeling. Had a great time and wish I stayed longer.

We've vacationed at Playa Azul over a dozen times over the years and we absolutely love staying there! This was our second visit this year. The beach area and snorkeling are first rate! Plenty of shaded seating and the tiki bar is right there (Great Drinks & the Beer is COLD). The menu items are also first rate and you can't beat the breakfast bar! Great service, fantastic coffee, and plates made to order by the chef. Perhaps the main reason we keep going back is the wonderful staff! They are so friendly, accommodating, and dedicated to making your vacation fun and relaxing! On this trip, we took my daughter's family with us that included two teenage granddaughters. They had an absolute blast, jet skiing, snorkeling, and hanging out by the pool. The Hotel wifi worked great so they could post photos to their friends. We highly recommend vacationing at Playa Azul to anybody! We can't wait to go back next year!

This is an older hotel, but it had everything we needed. The included breakfast is amazing with lots of variety. The property is right on the beach with beautiful views. The toiletries smelled really good. The staff was very friendly. They also gave us a welcome drink upon arrival. You can book snorkel and dive trips on site. The only negatives were that the hotel is a little dated and the water pressure in the shower is low. If you stay here, note that the water in the shower takes a while to get hot. Overall, we had a great time and would stay here again. The price is right for what you get.

Tropical elegance beachfront resort! We loved staying at Playa Azul Cozumel. From the excellent, friendly staff and the amazing large room with a jacuzzi to the beautiful beach and delicious food from both restaurants on the resort, we had the best romantic vacation! We will definitely come back! The resort was very quite, mostly couples and families. They had two open air restaurants. One was smaller and served the best hot breakfast (omelets prepared for you, and a hot buffet with mexican and american breakfast offerings), the breakfast buffet was included for us. They also served lunch and dinner too. The large open air restaurant had bands where you could dance and they had the best lime soup (myan recipe).
The pool was just the right size and there was a children's pool too with a small playground. Our room was on the first floor, so we had easy access to the pool and beach. I loved the natural tropical surroundings of the resort. The beach was on the small side, but the resort had plenty of sand, palm umbrellas, and beach lounge chairs. The beach was the perfect place to watch an amazing sunset.

The building is older and needs some upgrades but the food was excellent. The beach area is small but fabulous. A great spot for snorkeling.

This place is older but it’s absolutely beautiful. The private beach is stunning . The snorkeling was outstanding and right in front on this hotel. The food was delicious, the lobster restaurant right across from it has live music and amazing food. The key lime factory is right across the street as well; it was so yummy. I would highly recommend Playa Azul.

Playa Azul has a small beach with a beach bar and pool. It’s located between the Westin and Islands beach club. If you are like us and want the same quality of food and beaches as the Westin, but don’t want to pay for it,Playa is the place for you. Clean, quiet, friendly service, our room had a great view. We liked our beach better for the snorkeling we did every day (beach is rocky). Recommend and would stay again

Attractive Mexican fountain at entrance not working. Poor first impression. Peaceful Old hotel, pealing paint ,cracks eveywhere. Good bar/food service at beach. Restaurant nothing special. Better restaurant across street.Breakfast included a plus. Attentive breakfast staff.Daily room cleaning good. No laundry service. Front desk ignorant of where to take dirty clothes.Not luxury but not too expensive either.Great snorkeling.

The hotel was fantastic. Expedia gave us a price of %107 and then added a $40 cleaning fee. It's a damn hotel. Expedia gets worse and worse.

The hotel has a private beach which makes it very convenient if you want to relax all day at the beach. The AC in our rooms worked really well. The rooms and property are very clean. The buffet breakfast was included, and it has good options, including omelets a la carte, and the fruit was fresh and tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant one day, food was just OK. The only downside is the location, the hotel is at the NW of the island, and since there is no public transportation nor Uber in Cozumel, we had to use taxi (which is very expensive) to visit downtown or other beaches. A taxi from the hotel to downtown was $300 pesos (nearly $16 dollars) for 6 people.

We've vacationed at Playa Azul over a dozen times over the years and we absolutely love staying there!

The beach area and snorkeling are first rate! Plenty of shaded seating and the tiki bar is right there (Great Drinks & the Beer is COLD). The menu items are also first rate and you can't beat the breakfast bar! Great service, fantastic coffee, and plates made to order by the chef.

Perhaps the main reason we keep going back is the wonderful staff! They are so friendly, accommodating, and dedicated to making your vacation fun and relaxing! Case in point, I accidentally dropped my wallet in a cab on the way back to Playa Azul and I didn't noticed it until 10-15 minutes after we got back. The front desk immediately got on the radio and tracked down the cab driver and he found the wallet and returned it! That's the type of over-the-top service the Playa Azul staff provides!

We highly recommend vacationing at Playa Azul to anybody! We can't wait to go back in August!

We stayed 4 nights, and it was outstanding. Every employee was friendly and helpful and there was always work being done to keep everything running and clean, which is such a refreshing change after usually traveling in the US. We liked the smaller size hotel and not being in a high rise and our room was huge. The fresh flowers and blanket art were so fun to see every day and we all loved coming back to it. We walked to town once and it was 2.5 miles and felt completely safe and it was a nice walk. I would have walked it more often, but my teenagers preferred taxis which are everywhere and ready when you are for $10 each way. We hit up the happy hour each night and had food a few times and everything was great. Breakfast was nice that it was included and we could start our day full and not think about food for a while. Snorkeling at the beach was very good and we were able to see a lot of what we saw on a snorkeling excursion right on site.

The Hotel Plaza Azul is a good property, but there are much better places to stay in Cozumel. Frankly, the food and drinks are very expensive, the Internet was spotty and I had a lot of trouble working, tv was extremely limited, and the beach is small. We bought the most expensive room that had a hot tub on the balcony, and it was old and looked like it had not been used in some time (tub was dirty). The staff members were very nice, and it was clean, however. And the hotel is right on the ocean.

We stay at Playa Azul a few times a year. The location is great for us as it is a bit North of all the hustle and bustle. If you don' have your own transportation, you'll be using a taxi regularly. Located right on the water so it is a very peaceful location. Breakfast is included but it could really use some revamp as they serve the same thing daily and they've taken away the fresh waffle maker so we don't tend to eat there often. Lunch/dinner is bar food level but convenient if you don't want to leave the hotel.
