My wife and I just returned from a five night stay at the Coral Princess. We purchased a package (flight – hotel – car) through Travelocity and were satisfied with the price/amenities that we purchased.

The package included a full American breakfast. (In my mind, I had read this as a full American breakfast buffet – which it wasn’t). Each morning you received a fruit plate, toast, bread basket, coffee, juice and your choice of eggs (prepared as you liked), or waffles or pancakes or French Toast, with your choice of a side order of bacon/ham/sausage. More than enough food for an individual and I am sure I gained weight during the trip even without having a breakfast buffet.

Our room was definitely showing its age but met our needs. The room included two regular sized beds, shower (plenty of hot water – average to slightly below average water pressure), a large bathroom countertop/sink, cable TV (mostly Spanish channels but a few in English), small refrigerator, room safe, and ample storage space. Space between the wall closet and the nearest bed was cramp with probably 18 inches or less which made it difficult to open the accordion folding doors of the closet. The towels that were provided have seen better days but again for the price we paid, we didn’t expect 5 star accomodations.

A big positive is the snorkeling available at the resort. The diversity of sea-life at the Coral Princess was as good or better than any other location that we snorkeled at while on the island (Money Bar, Punta Sur, Chanknaab). Visibility was excellent. The area had a much higher concentrations of angel fish and yellow stingrays than most places that I have snorkeled. There is definitely a current that flows in the area (south to north). If you have average skills in the water you should be fine. I would recommend for your first trip that you swim south (against the current) to begin with so you can judge your ability with the days condition. (Note on the day we arrived the water was churning enough that I did not feel comfortable going in the water, the other days were fine.)

The second big positive that CP provides is that the pool is heated. The air temperature was moderate during our entire stay but the pool water was great (bath tub temperatures). A fellow guest indicated they have a solar collector system. Whatever they have it was working perfect and felt fantastic.

Happy hour (2 x 1) is from 5:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.

While we did not eat dinner at the resort the shrimp quesadillas for lunch were great.

While some guests walked into town for us a rental car was a better option. (Taxis of course are readily available)

We hope to travel to Cozumel again next year and will consider staying at the Coral Princess as one of our choices.

We stayed at the Coral Princess the first week of January with our two grandchildren. We had a great time and the Coral Princess is a good place to bring our family. The hotel personal treated them very well. We have stayed there several times with family and have always found them to be especially good with children. We will be back again.

I belong to the CP vacation club and have been coming here for more than 6 years. My last visit in Jan. of 2012 left me very concerned. Tiles are falling off the roof, the balconies have warning signs on them not to lean on them, the outside jacuzzi was broken, the swimming pool was ice cold until enough people complained to heat it up, the room furniture is old and tacky looking, the fountains in lobby do not function, and there is need of paint. The maintenance on this hotel has fallen short. On the plus side, the staff and service are exceptional. It is a safe place to vacation and has lovely views of the ocean. You will be treated well by the staff. If the maintenance on this hotel does not improve, I don't see how people will want to buy into staying here.

We had a group of 10 who spent 4 to 5 nights at the Coral Princess. We had all received a great deal and decided to take a vacation in Cozumel. We had an ocean side room and enjoyed the view every morning that we spent in our room. The staff was always very attentive and did a great job. The facilites are pretty nice for the price that we paid. The only down side is that you are a little far from town and it can be about a 30 minute walk.
